Lilac landed softly on the ground. Her barefoot touched the soil on the other side of the gate. She could feel the rumbles beneath it. The ground was shaking as if there was a monstrous creature trying to rise from beneath the ground, and set free.
Lilac tried her best to focus on finding Jedrek. But, where should she start looking? The castle was way too big for her to venture. The intuition that she always relied on, didn't work as it was supposed to when needed, no matter how hard she tried to.
Something was strange, and she just realized it now. She couldn't spot a single guard present on site. Where are those people? She continued to look, and look inside the empty castle aimlessly. Still, she couldn't find anybody to be around.
