The Wind and The Castle

The Emperor built a massive castle in the desert.

But it was no ordinary castle. 

It was a Goddess. 

The garrison folk revered her above all their other Gods.

The Wind was also a God. He was a playboy and he loved a challenge.

The Wind fell in love with The Castle and was determined to conquer her.

This is the story of that strange affair.

The tale is wrapped up in the story of Arthur -- a young man who ran away from his village because of love.

Arthur learned to live in the forest. He became a hunter and a keen observer of everything around him. 

He listened to the birds, the wild animals and an old hermit who told him the legend of The Wind and The Castle.
