Inside The Castle

Before long, you're walking into the heart of the castle. Looking around, you see many marble pillars, reaching up about fifty feet into the ceiling, many glass stone tables with fragile vases sit on top of them, candles beaming their way into the heart of the castle. As your eyes roam the room you also notice that there is one giant thing missing. Soldiers.

"Wow..." you mumble to yourself as your eyes roam around the entrance to the castle. You can't help but look around, so many huge rooms, multiple pathways leading around the castle, but strangely enough, as you continue to look into every room that you walk by, you don't see many guards at all, almost like the entire castle is deserted. "how the hell can I find myself around this place..." you grumble to yourself.

You continue to walk, your eyes roaming the area, looking between doorways, pillars, entrances and skylights. "Well I'll be damned..." is all you can mumble as your head tilts upwards, looking toward the sky, you glance upwards toward the ceiling which is circular shaped with many different paintings on it. You have no clue what the pictures represent but these pictures on the ceiling must represent the history of the Rathkin Empire.

You continue to keep walking in a random direction, slowly looking into each door you pass, noticing that none of the pathways you look into lead to anyplace special, most just enter into a single room, whether it's for dining, sleeping, or just pleasure. Before long, you see a giant stone door in the distance "Must be the main throne room..." you think to yourself. You turn around, knowing you don't really want to go into that room just yet, you want to find out if Claire is being held elsewhere...

"Halt!" you hear from a distance, the sound of metal clinking against the marble tile, getting closer and closer. It takes you a minute to comprehend it, guards found you. "Oh shit..." you think.

"Don't fucking move" another voice shouts with authority.

You shake your head, holding your ground as you keep your hands on your weapons, just waiting for the Rathkin warriors to speak with you. "I mean no harm!" you let out, slowly raising your arms up into the air.

"Who are you?" a guard asks, "And why are you here?" the other guard mentions

You hesitate briefly...looking towards the ground, your head pivots back and forth slightly "uhhh.." you groan out "Well..."

"Cat got your tongue?" one of them jests toward you as he brings his arm up, showing his sword, making you feel uneasy "Come on now you piece of shit. Answer me!"

You breathe in a giant sum of air, your chest puffs up before slowly before letting loose. "Well..." you breath out slowly "I know about the Syndicate leader..." you finally let out.

They say nothing but they continue their march toward your body. Your back is towards them but you don't turn around. You continue just waiting, not wanting to go on the offensive just yet. "I'm here to get information out of her." you plead "Just..." your hand goes out, pretending to be defensive "The dungeon...I know you captured the Sicilian leader." you let out as you slowly turn your body facing the two guards that are walking in your direction "I need to see her" you stop your sentence, "I need to..." smiling at the two guards now, licking your lips "I'm going to get information out of her..." you grin "Any way possible..." you wink at one of the guards who is closest to you.

One of the guards just sits there, looking at your body, his hands still ready on his blades, his eyes never moving off your pupils. The other continues to make his way closer and closer to you, his hands still on his blades in his waistband, ready to go on the offensive at a moments notice.
