93. 2nd Floor of the Castle
The clicks of Rosella's heels echoed loudly as she spiraled up the magnificent staircase trying to shut out the swordplay
that unfolded beneath her. It was not so much her fear for the three strangers' safety. In fact, though she had only just
met them, her heart told her they were noble and able warriors. Rather the young princess was trying to keep her mind
focused on the mission she returned to Tamir for: to rescue Genesta and her band of fairies. They had to be located
somewhere on the second floor of the castle. Between driving the sound of steel from her ears, Rosella fought the
thoughts of Edgar's journal from her mind as well.
When she reached the top of the stairs, she found herself in the center of a long hallway. Before her was a large set of
double doors, while to either side of her stretched a length of hall that both led to a short set of steps up to a door.
Rosella concentrated while making her decision.
