Chapter 16 - The New FortressOne afternoon, Arthur found Leo drawing.
"What are you making?"
Leo covered the page.
"It's a secret."
Arthur smiled.
"Architects respect secrets."
Leo finally showed him.
It was a house.
A huge house beside the ocean.
Around it stood a stone wall.
Inside the wall were flowers.
There were two people standing near the front door.
A little boy.
And an old man.
Arthur smiled.
"Who are they?"
"Us."
"What's this place called?"
Leo thought carefully.
"Our fortress."
Arthur's eyes filled with tears.
"Why does it need a wall?"
Leo looked at him seriously.
"So bad people can't get inside."
Arthur knelt beside him.
"And what's inside?"

Leo smiled.
"Only good people."
