I walk around my castle running my hand along the walls feeling for the little imperfection that marked the doorway I have to thaw to get to my room. A loud bang echoes through the room shaking the newly rebuilt chandelier.

"What in the world?" I whisper to myself.

I walk outside onto the balcony and look around in all directions

"Ow" I hear someone say

"Who's there?" I look all around but I can't find anyone "who's there?" I repeat shakily.

I turn my head to the right and blink. There is a man standing right next to me leaning on a staff. I gasp and jump back.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

He whispers something to him self and says,

"Oh I was just crashing- I mean inspecting your castle" he says ever so smoothly.

"Inspecting my castle." I ask sarcastically, "and how did you get up here?"

"Oh." He says jumping up on the railing "I just-" he breaks off in a gasp as he falls backward down the mountain. I yelp and run to the railing and look over it. There's nothing there. A gust of wind sends my hair into tendrils as he shoots up through the air in a smooth spiral. He lands back on the railing and finishes his sentence "- I just flew."
