Chapter 16

• Stronghold Mansion
• I race back to my home, where my men were waiting for my command. Flying through the iron front gate, I speed down the long driveway leading toward my two-story cabin that looks over a lake. Various trees surround the driveway like we are in the forest and lined with big rocks on the edge of the drive path.
• My grandfather designed and hand built the Stronghold mansion and over the years we have kept it up and it has continued to twinkle down the line of Strongholds. Pulling up in the front, I always admire the beauty of the craftsmanship and skill it took to build this home. How my great grandfather took his time laying each piece of wood exactly where he wanted it. The thought that all the inspiration, love, sweat and tears were poured into this home, it gives a warmth like no other.
