The Mirrored Rooms

A refuge beyond the wooden bridge

You cross a wooden bridge over a dark green moat and enter a stone castle. A spiral stair, a chapel with three arches turned to the sky, and at every step the same simple stillness.

Before you the castle sits in the water: honey-colored stone, four round towers at the corners, the entrance narrow between two twin towers.
