I made it into the Count’s room. Taking the demon as an example, I set off across the castle’s south face, clutching onto the giant stone walls and inching along a crumbling ledge.
I didn’t die. Obviously.
His room is much like the rest of the castle - empty, dusty and cold as hell. A pile of gold in the corner caught my eye, as well as a heavy door. I tried the door and found it unlocked. Finally, a hint of luck in this terrible journey!
I followed a dark tunnel until I reached an open room filled with old coffins. Any other time I probably would’ve screamed, had a heart attack and promptly wet myself, but honestly, at that point, nothing surprised me anymore.
Actually, that’s not true. Upon closer inspection, I realized that one of the coffins held the Count! He seemed to be asleep, at least he wasn’t killing me … but he also wasn’t breathing. I ran from the room and threw myself back on the outer castle walls until I safely reached my bed.
I’ll try it again tonight.
Mina…
