You sat there staring at the endless sky in front of you. The wind howling around you.
The world around you seemed to spin. You felt ill, your breath quickening with each breath.
"Hurry up," the creature called out to you snapping you out of your panic. "The mistress awaits. Hurry to the castle," the creature said pointing to a castle beyond where you sat.
You looked to where the creature was pointing.
In the distance was a large castle, covered in moss and vines, broken and in disrepair.
Even in the light of the sun the darkness surrounding the structures of stone and mortar was palpable. Every inch of if it left you with a tightness in your chest and a cold sweat.
"Hurry," the creature once again said.
Slowly you stood up and walked to the castle.
You passed through the garden shabby and overgrown with weeds, and vines.
You slowly moved forward with an uncertainty about you. An ill feeling overcame you as if something was lurking, slinking about.
You approached the door and struck the door with the knocker.
After a few moments to doors slowly began to open.
