The king sent his knights to investigate, but they found nothing. No way in, no way out. The sides were unable to be climbed, there was no front door of which to speak, and it simply seemed to be a regular fortress. So for the time, they left it be.
Except when the king decided, in a rather frivolous manner, to go to war with a neighboring kingdom for some imagined slight, Blackrock opened its doors. Well, I say that, but it was more like it was spreading its wings wide, its shadow coming to encompass the kingdom. A few days later, the king was dead and his nephew was on the throne, quick as you please. Blackrock closed its wings again, and the neighboring kingdom was given proper apologies and the like.
In the coming years, a few incidents like that happened again. People getting cocky, threatening the kingdom. Blackrock would come to life, doors opening and things creeping out into the night to slaughter what needed killing. Sometimes it was people. Othertimes, it was monsters. But Blackrock stayed, even after four generations and countless knights had tried to destroy it. It was unmarked by time, by age, by anything. Immortal, in a way. An eternal reminder that we had a...a..."
"A what, Uncle Charles?"
"...A Guardian, lad. We had a Guardian walking the land. Nobody would say it, but we all knew it. Nobody except a Guardian could have done what that stronghold did, stood the test of time like it did. They couldn't have existed without being seen, lurking in the shadows until it came time to protect what it called its own. Problem was, back then nobody knew what to do about it. Now we do."
"What do we do?"
"We bow, son. We bow down and we lay our heads on the chopping block and hope that the Guardian is feeling merciful enough to spare us all. Because our king right now? He's an idiot. He hates Blackrock, and wants it gone. And he's gearing up to do something stupid, to do something to anger the Guardian. When the Guardian comes, we need to be ready. We might die, or we might live. But that king? That king will die. Because he's a fool, and fools don't exist where Guardians walk."
