Les rolled her eyes and moved towards
the door of the carriage. She hesitated a moment longer before
pushing through the curtain. Outside, wasn't outside at all. They
were in an enclosed driveway. The walls around them reached so tall.
Looking up, Les couldn't tell if it was a black sky, or a high
ceiling. The area where she stood was dimly lit, but Ahead was a
grand entrance to what Les assumed was a castle. Light shone from the
windows surrounding the door, it was so bright compared to the dark
of where she was that it looked like the sunlight shone from inside.
She heard Talon jump down from the carriage behind her. Then the fox
started for the grand entrance. There were two of those black
knights, like had been surrounding the carriage standing on either
side of the doors. Talon stopped in front of them then sat and waited
for Les to meet her. Les, who hadn't moved from where she stood since
emerging from the carriage, was now suddenly aware of how she looked.
Her dress was dirty and torn from when she had fallen in the woods,
and rolled on the grass. Her hair was a mess, and she could feel the
dried sweat on her skin from running hard before. She was not ready
to be brought into a place like this. The doors themselves were more
elegant and refined than anything she had ever seen. With the
exception of the throne room from the day before.
