[...] Enticing scents wafted between the stalls as bread and other pastries were made, adding their strength to the already vivid smells of the castle. Rising above the bustle below like four eagles rising on an updraft, four towers stood stark against the sunlit sky giving an overwhelming sense of power, control, and beauty.””
