She heads in, and meets her new Master!

I got off the horse, and tied him to the nearest tree. "Don't go anywhere boy, I'll be back once I see if they have stables you can stay in," I coaxed him. He gave a snort, and I walked towards the castle, my heart pounding. The large entrance hall doors opened for me as I approached, giving me brief pause, before I shrugged it off, and kept walking in.

I blinked as I saw what looked like a person made of stone sweeping the floor. "Um... hi?" I asked, a bit nervous. The golem did not respond. Of course it didn't. I knew little of magic, but I did know that golems only responded to the commands of their owners, so I really didn't know what I was expecting.

"You lost?" an amused voice asked behind me, and I jumped slightly, turning around to see a man standing before me.

My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him. He was... captivating... and on some instinct, I replied, "Sort of... Master..." I wasn't sure why I called him that, but it just felt so right and natural. My heart pounded as I stared at him.

He chuckled. "And what is your name?" he inquired. His voice almost made me swoon on the spot. Was this what they called love at first sight?

"I'm Sofia, Master," I answered, my voice soft and flirtatious as I gazed at him.

(Side note, I accidently published the previous chapter before it was complete, and had to edit, so if you saw it before the edit, well, I advise going back and rereading, lol. My bad!)
