La Chateau de Coucy: A Medievel Tale

Back through ethereal mists of time, in a distant land, lost forever in history, the mighty Chateau de Coucy stood, shrouded now in the ebony cloth of mystery. While the Baron strode the Chateau's crest, destiny was calling, a holy quest to be won, his loyal knights all gathered around, with their burnished steel armor gleeming bright in the sun. They rode together on their crusade, destiny's wind blowing banners telling of great deeds, dreams of glory filling their helmets, virulence barely contained within their mighty steeds. Green meadows beneath the Chateau's walls, filled with farmers gathering the bounties of this life, safe in the shadows of the giant, while their master leads violence away from this peaceful feif. The echoes of the past slowly ebb, in memories of victory and past accomplishments. The somber stones stand quiet today, blind to glory, that once emblazoned her battlements.

Additional Notes:
The Chateau de Coucy is historical, it saw the height of its power in the 14th century.
