Bored Shadow

Three days and three nights, the first day ended, the announcement having been made on the early morning, and so the night settled in, a faint moonlight piercing through a veil of clouds every so often, drowned away by the more powerful shine produced by flames of torches planted all around, dancing in the wind, casting wild shadows upon the tents erected by the knights of the south behind the fortifications, a few of them still walking around even at these hours, the promise of an oath preventing sneaky attacks did not stop many from worrying about them.
