The Black Citadel

You step in carefully and then begin to swim across slowly. After a short time you reach the other side. You think to yourself why were you so apprehensive before about crossing the river, there wasn't anything like a giant water serpent ready to pull you down. Those tavern tales you've heard really were exaggerated. You start to squeeze the water out of your clothes when you realise that 2 gold coins are missing. They must have fallen out of your pocket when you were swimming. Well at least you're across.
