very well done. The imagery is very good.. Especially with the foreshadowing (Well not really foreshadowing, more like.. umm.. symbolism, thats what I was looking for)..
There are subtle hints there too.. The fact the city was obviously not thinking they would ever be attacked (No city that is expecting any sort of attack will ever come would have a forest that close to the city, and have a wall that low)..
great stuff, need to see more to get an idea of the story
