Chapeter 6 The Towers

 There were many section eight apartments in the Castle Towers. They sprung up across the city skyline like Bamboo shoots and were connected by enclosed footbridges. An elderly person could spend their entire life without ever going outside if they so chose, because within these towers were shops and grocery stroes and all the necesities of life. But most people did go outside. But to do so was a danger. Wild demon creatures may devour you. Dragons, Nians, Centipedes, the rats that were under the city and half the size of a man. It's not that these creatures were evil, but they did ocassionally eat people. It was safer to travel out doors with Nian Armor. The creatures would think you were one of their own and leave you alone. Those skilled in the Nian Dance and with the right armor could even do battle with the creatures and use the armor to fly, to travel...and to attack other humans in war or raids. So you see it was confusing and chaotic outside. but at the same time, for most people it was worth the risk and it was suspected that people were really the ones to blame but no one could prove it.
