THE ESCAPE

Leo and Victor sat at a round table in the grand dining hall of the magical palace. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, and the chandeliers above them glimmered with flickering flames.

Leo took a bite of his roasted chicken and turned to Victor. "We need to get out of this place, Vic. I don't feel safe here."

Victor nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean. The spirits that haunt this palace are getting more and more restless by the day. We need to come up with a plan."

Leo looked around the room, eyeing the various magical trinkets that littered the tables and shelves. "We need to find a way to disable the magic in this place. If we can do that, we can make our escape."

"But how do we do that?" Victor asked, his brow furrowed in concern.

Leo leaned in, his voice low. "I saw there's a hidden room in the palace that contains a powerful magic crystal. If we can find that room and destroy the crystal, it should disrupt the magic in the entire palace."
