Aidun kicked at the old door. His steel boot went through the rotten wood. The hinges broke and the door fell on the floor. He entered the old building. A deep silence is inside it. To have a bit of light he took a candle out of his pockst and lighted it. In the shivering light he saw a bank with skeletons sitting on it, covered by dust and a fireplace in the middle of the room. A throne stood near the fire.
How long has it been since someone entered this room? It looks like older than the Spanish civilization itself.
He walked towards the wall and saw a painting on it. An impressive man speaks to some people. The group is small, but they all seem to listen intensely to what he is saying.
In the next picture he is crowned.
A third picture displays the despot and a few of his bravest warriors in battle. The despot kills a barbarian with his stone axe.
Hey wait, isn't that the Old Togas, first Despot of Spain? Good God, this place is really old. It must be the place where Togas founded Spain. Geographically it fits quite well, just a few miles outside of Madrid.
Aidun walked to the other wall, carefully to not damaje anything with his harness and boots.
Let's update this a bit.
