Chasing the Sun

NEIGH!

The sun was sinking low in the sky, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape as the experienced and well-known Duchess Harriet Goldlane, her twin children, and their Uncle Emperor approached the grand Almandine Castle.

The impressive structure loomed in the distance, its towering spires and battlements standing out against the backdrop of the fiery sky. The reign of the Notorious Duchess had brought back the glory of the Castle as the fortress of the strong.

As they drew closer, the full magnitude of the Castle became apparent. The carriage rumbled through the open gates and into the courtyard, where they were greeted by a group of well-trained Lycan guards who had served under her rule. They were escorted to the main entrance, where Secretary Daniel and Sir Russel had been waiting.

Upon their arrival, Sir Russel reported that all of the Lycan Army from the East had returned safely, to which Duchess Harriet gave a small nod of approval.
