Contest Submission ~ Freek Encounter ~ Excerpt
--The fact was, Freekshow's attack only missed her by a few inches, she gripped her staff tightly. Prepared to lunge at her attacker as he approached her, focusing her sight on the silhouette, then the realization hit, as her eyes widened in disbelief.
The white cliffs rising
far on the horizon;
battered by the raging sea
they stand firm after centuries.
Rough mountainous lands
bringing forth the mighty city
of Culobos, Watcher of the Sea,
City of Tunnels, hewn into the cliff.
On the dockside - colourful houses,
poor lodgings for nthe less fortunate,
labyrinthine streets leading up,
to the top of the cliffs.
There are the white villas,
the luxurious mansions,
sandstone castles of the merchants
and of noble men.
Deep dark tunnels
lead the curious into the cliffs,
down to places unknown,
where strange powers sleep,
right below Culobos.
