They reached King Bilmarath's castle as the sky began to lighten. The castle was a huge building of stone with six towers. From each tower stood flags of different colors with symbols on them. They reached the castle gates which were huge oak doors with dragons etched into them. The three travelers went to the gate guards. Count Makraim spoke to them and the doors were opened to reveal a huge and spacious entry way with a large hanging chandelier in it. In the middle of the entry way stood a woman. She was fair,, tall, and thin. Her eyes were a ocean blue and her hair hung in a loose braid down her back.

“Earok!” The woman cried and ran toward Elise with her arms open.

“Eri!” squealed Elise and ran at the woman to embrace her.

King Bilmarath came into the room to greet his confused guests. “Count Makraim, welcome! And Matsey. I see you brought Earok with you.”

“Yes. You know her?”

“Yes. But now is not the time to explain. Rest and we'll talk later in the day.”

As the group made their way to the guest wing of the castle a man walked toward them. He was tall and had dark seeking eyes and his hair was flaming red. When he came closer to them Elise's breath hitched and she breathed out in an almost whisper “It's you Shiatze.” Then as their eyes met Elise let out her held in breath and fainted.
