บท 348: Into the City

The main gates of Bluegate Keep towered above us, casting a shadow as dark and intimidating as the canyon cliffs. As we prepared to cross beneath the wrought iron portcullis, I stared up at the fortifications in awe, tracing the seams of the enormous stone blocks that made up the great walls. Each stone was as big as a house and dyed blue, cut from the canyon below. Glowing veins of mana laced the stonework, evidence to my eyes alone of the true strength these walls represented. Even forgetting the magical shields each tower could conjure, it would take several seventh-level spells to bring down the ramparts and breach the city.

"Everything alright?" Korra asked, taking my hand. I blinked and shook my head, tearing my eyes from the simple stonework and the beautiful spells and looking at her. At my confused look, she tugged my hand and grinned. "Come on, you can gawk later. Just not in the middle of the road."
