Arriving at the castle,

It stood as a majestic structure at the heart of Mythrandil. Built into the side of a towering black granite cliff, the castle seemed to merge seamlessly with the natural rock, as if it had grown out of the earth itself. It was breathtaking and looked formidable strength, designed to both awe and intimidate.

The walls of the castle were constructed from dark stone, almost black, which absorbed the light around it. Dark Elves. These carvings seemed to shift and change with the light, creating an illusion of movement.

Massive towers rose from the corners of the castle, their spires reaching towards the sky. These towers were topped with glowing crystals, emitting a soft, eerie light that bathed the castle in a haunting glow. The light from the crystals was not bright, but it was noticeably beautiful.

The castle doors were made of ebony wood, reinforced with iron, and adorned with silver runes that glowed faintly, a testament to the powerful enchantments protecting the castle. As the doors swung open, they revealed a grand hall with high vaulted ceilings and columns carved from the same dark stone.

Inside, the castle was a blend of darkness and light. The grand hall led to a series of rooms and corridors, each more impressive than the last.

They were brought straight into meet with the Queen of the Dark Elf Clan, Akio Ryuu. Her office had pillars made of obsidian, and tapestries of different stars and planets aligned the walls. It was stunning and intimidating all at the same time. Orion utterly amazed at how impressive their castle was.

The queen walks in and greets the six people standing before her.

"Good evening, I'm happy to see you finally made it. I am Queen Akio Ryun of the Dark Elf Clan" The queen said Bowing to Theo and Orion.

"Good evening, your grace, I am Princess Orion Serrias Brimmed of the High elf clan and heir to the throne of Elysium." Orion announcing her title to the queen was a reminder of her status. "I apologize for the delay, but we faced some troubles along our journeys which has delayed us to everyone." Orion stepped forward and bowed in return.

"Well I hope to hear some interesting stories over dinner later, please I dare you to impress me." The queen said with a hint of sarcasm hidden in her voice.

Okay, she's got sense of humor, I can work with this. Orion thought to herself.

T: You could do it even without her having a sense of humor.

O: are we at this again with you rudely ease dropping on my thoughts?

T: well don't think so loud and I won't.

Rion stuck her tongue out at Theo. The queen furrowed her brows confused at what just that was and whether or not to be offended.

Oleander kicks the back of Rion's heel, reminding her where shes at.

"My queen, if you are not impressed with our journey so far, I think you'll find that you are the problem." Rion giggled as to make sure the queen knew she was being playful and to test the waters on where she currently stands in the eyes this queen.

"Well let's move this conversation to the dinning hall. Is this a story that I will lose my appetite over?" The queen said walking toward the door.

"Depends how strong your stomach is," Theo answered.

"That's right, my apologies, my prince, we have not been properly introduced and I fear my manners were left somewhere, and I'll have to find them later." Queen Aiko said turning and bowing to Theo and his companions.
