The deer of the ghost castle. Max Marshall
Edward moved closer, his ghostly form seemed to float effortlessly, as if he were a guardian spirit of the castle, watching over its secrets with a solemn duty. The air around him crackled with an energy that sent shivers down Steve and Elly’s spines, a mix of fear and reverence for this majestic creature.
Despite their initial trepidation, a sense of calm washed over the children as they locked eyes with Edward. There was an unspoken connection between them, a silent understanding that transcended words. It was as if Edward had been waiting for their arrival, guiding them on a path of discovery within the ancient walls of the castle.
With a gentle nod of his head, Edward beckoned Steve and Elly to follow him deeper into the heart of the castle. His movements were graceful, leading them through winding corridors and hidden chambers filled with remnants of a bygone era. The children followed in silent wonder, entranced by the ethereal presence of their newfound companion.
As they ventured further into the labyrinthine depths of the castle, Edward stopped before a massive oak door covered in intricate carvings. With a knowing glance, he nudged the door open, revealing a chamber bathed in a soft, golden light. Ancient tapestries adorned the walls, depicting scenes of forgotten legends and heroic deeds.
In the center of the room lay a pedestal, upon which rested a glowing orb that pulsed with a mysterious energy. Edward turned to Steve and Elly, his eyes filled with a silent message that beckoned them to approach the artifact.
As the children reached out to touch the orb, a surge of power coursed through them, connecting them to the ancient magic that lay dormant within the castle’s walls. They felt a sense of belonging, as if they were meant to discover this hidden chamber and unlock its secrets with Edward by their side.
Chapter 6: Edward’s Magical Abilities
The sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the meadow, Edward approached the children with a sense of trepidation. Would they recoil in fear as others had done before them? Or would they, like the flickering candlelight of hope, see beyond his fearsome exterior to the gentle spirit within?
Steve and Elly stood their ground, their eyes wide with a mixture of courage and curiosity. Edward took a deep breath and then, with a voice as soft as a whispering breeze, he began to unravel the mystery of his existence.
– Long ago, Edward started,
– I was not always the creature you see before you. I was once a man of flesh and blood, filled with dreams and aspirations like any other. But my fate took a cruel turn when I crossed paths with the sorcerer Rowan.
