The Lost Castle
“Groaning, he held up a hand and peered through his claws.
He had fallen asleep in a room in the Lost Castle. It had taken three flights of stairs to get to it, but there were many storeys above. It had appealed to Adalon because of its high ceilings and two large windows, which opened out onto balconies with fine views of the courtyard and the river beyond the walls.
The room contained little furniture, and this also attracted Adalon. It made him uneasy to think of using a bed where the last dr...eams were dreamed hundreds of years ago. Instead, he arranged his travel-worn bedroll in a corner.
Simangee stood on one of the balconies. The stonework around her was carved with the likenesses of birds and fish. Behind her lay the valley.
She was singing.
