The beast, whom Isabella had started calling "Hunter," led her through the woods and up to an old palace. The walls were covered in vines, and the windows were boarded up. It looked like it hadn't been inhabited for years.
Hunter looked at Isabella and said, "This place was once a grand palace, but now it is nothing but ruins. I have not been inside in a long time, but I feel like I need to show it to you."
As they entered the palace, Isabella felt a shiver run down her spine. The place was musty and cold, with cobwebs covering the furniture and broken windows letting in the chilly breeze.
"This palace has a dark history," Hunter said, his voice echoing in the empty halls. "It was once the home of a powerful sorcerer who practiced dark magic. He was feared by many, and his powers only grew stronger with time."
Isabella listened intently as Hunter recounted the palace's past. She learned that the sorcerer had been cursed by a group of powerful witches, and that curse had spread to the palace, turning it into a haunted place.
As they walked deeper into the palace, Isabella could feel the weight of the past bearing down on her. She could sense the presence of something evil, lurking just beyond her sight.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and Isabella turned to see a figure emerging from the shadows. It was the sorcerer, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.
"You dare to enter my palace?" he growled, raising his hand and sending a wave of dark energy toward them.
Isabella and Hunter barely managed to dodge the attack, and they fled deeper into the palace, pursued by the sorcerer's malevolent energy.
As they ran, Isabella realized that they were headed toward the palace's main chamber, where the sorcerer's power was strongest. She knew that they had to stop him, no matter what it took.
With a fierce determination, she turned to Hunter and said, "We have to face him. We have to end this curse once and for all."
Hunter nodded, his eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. They charged into the chamber, ready for a fight.
And that's when Isabella woke up, her heart racing and her body covered in sweat. She realized that it had all been a dream, but it felt so real.
As she looked around her room, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her, lurking just beyond her sight. And she knew that her adventures in this town were far from over.
