The Angelic Devil

THE MOON CASTLE

When we reached the castle the sun was already high in the sky spilling light everywhere.Every time I am at the vicinity of the castle,my insides starts to churn and a wierd sensation always seemed to settle in my stomach.

Ignoring the cold that crept my bones every time I had to return after my job,knowing that each one of my mistakes could reflect terribly on my sister,the fear of what he would do to her if I fail......
I abandoned the trail of thought and tried to focus on the task at hand in the hope that as long as I am in the king's favour he would leave her alone.

I crossed the last few steps to reach the gate,four knights stood at either side of the gate,clad in armor,each of them carried a long metallic spear along with other formidable weapons.They nodded as I passed through the gate with Diem in tow into the castle.

The moon castle stood tall and proud at the heart of the city .The walls made of pure moon white marbles glinted from being kissed by the sunlight.I stopped as we reached the entrance and grinned at the guards who stood there,they stiffened,hands going for the weapons , their body tense.I let my lips twist in an evil smile, showing them how deeply satisfied I was with their reaction after we got into a brawl two days ago,without a second glance at them I stepped into the castle.

Inside of the moon castle was as extravaganant as the outside .Huge pillars of white marble lined either sides,their heads bathed in gold,roof high Windows adored the walls with their beautiful engravings on the sills.Dark crimson curtains hung on every wall,the dark of crimson so stark against the white  of marble like blood on snow.Exotic murals representing ancient lands and historic battles covered every corner of the castle so wonderfuly detailed,they appeared to be brimming with life.If my life wasn't so screwed up I might have been one of whom standing there admiring these mangificent works,I might even have loved this place,if it wasn't for the one who ruined my life.

We reached the huge oak doors that lead to the throne room.Sucking air into my lungs,I pushed opened the doors and stepped into the largest room in the entire castle.The throne room was also a mixture of red and white like every other room in the castle,the floor was polished to the extend one could see their reflection on it.At the center of the room atop a raised platform sat a huge throne made of pure black marble,it's head carved into a snarling leopard and on it sneering at me sat the king.
