Touch Of Spades

Throne Without Faith-002

I opened my eyes to my velvet room. I look around a take in my surroundings. The paintings, the blankets and colors. i sigh 'another day in this horrid castle' I got out of my abnormally soft bed and slid on my black robe and slippers, I then proceeded to sit and wonder what life would be like away from the castle. In the cold fall air and quiet of the castle, all i could hear was the hitting of the rain on the windows. I got out of my bed and sat in my window seat and looked out onto my garden.
