The Accidental Maid (2)

Velcy's POV

There was no disgust or despair here but only nobility, arrogance, and an unmistakable air of strength that set it apart.

We soared over the outer walls and I could see enormous bats flitting through the sky or clinging to the shadowed corners of the structure.

Soon, we landed within the castle's inner compound. The dragon lady strode forward with confident grace, and I followed closely behind her. Reverent stares and bows greeted her from the armored guards stationed along the walls and gates.

Once we were inside the castle, it seemed to somehow swallow us in silence and darkness. Blurry rays of light barely pierced through the small gaps scattered across the walls.

There were no windows or openings to allow natural light which added to the already gloomy and foreboding ambiance.

Only a dull and bloody glow illuminated the space which I could see was seeping out from hidden rooms and corners.
