Seeing no way out, I asked Abhishek what we were going to do now. We were stranded in an unknown land, far from anything familiar, and danger seemed to lurk in the air.
Abhishek, a mysterious companion with whom I had found myself entangled in this strange journey, replied, "We will now head to the capital city of Transylvania. There, everyone is waiting for you. They think of you as their queen. You will stay there now. You will be safe under the protection of the castle."
His words took me by surprise. Me, a queen? How could that be? I was just an ordinary girl from a small town. But Abhishek's words held conviction, and I could sense an air of urgency in his demeanour. Despite the overwhelming uncertainty, I had to trust him; he was my only ally in this surreal world.
