 You slip through the great double doors and gaze around humbly at your surroundings. From the Traveller's Gate, you took the portal to the Castle that seems to crown the very tip of the floating island in this realm between realms. The entrance floor is made of black and white checkered marble, huge squares of solid color, save for the red carpet leading forward. There are two enormous staircases leading up while the carpet goes between them to another set of double doors. The walls are decorated with tapestries and all manner of weaponry which makes you a little nervous. You assume that the two doors adjacent to each staircase leads to greater halls while the balcony above the stairs must also lead to higher halls. You take a few more steps forward minding the lion's heads crowning the last rails of the staircases.  "Merry meet, traveller. I'm so glad you decided to visit." A sweet, devilish voice purrs behind you. You spin around and nearly fall back when you come face to face with the Mistress of the realm. Her deep sapphire eyes glimmer mischieviously and she smiles. "This is where the very realm started." The feline anthro places a hand on the stone wall. "Everything stemmed from here."She passes by you to the left staircase and you notice a black hairless feline sliding down the railing. He perches on the lion's head and purrs very loudly as his Mistress pets him. "This is Shyen. He will take you to the tower via this," she gently flicks the orb dangling from his collar, "I will take you anywhere else. The majority of the castle is off limits to travellers of your persuasion. The tower Shyen will take you to is actually detached from the actual castle. One of the many Magickal anomalies of the realm." You consider your choices: Follow Shyen The Attic The Cellar The Courtyard
