Snow white sand.
Jasper ocean.
Violet-night sky with two moons hanging in it.
Mare and Mons bound off as much as Mons can toward the castle while Moon turns to the sentient she just snatched.
She... smiles at him.

"OW. Okay. Fine. So... I get to stay in the castle, then? Is there anywhere I can't go, or are you gonna tie me up or something?"

Date: 2007-05-29 04:06 am (UTC)"Then why should I tie you up?" Moon smiles at him. "You're free to go anywhere in the castle where the door unlocked. The beach is yours, too, to explore. If you go far enough south, away from the castle, you'll find some forests... a fresh water lake... I don't know if there are any animals here. I've never bothered to look."

Date: 2007-05-29 04:09 am (UTC)She laughs as they approach the massive doors to the castle.
"And you can't really get lost," she muses. "All paths lead here in this place... you just have to think about being here and when you turn the next corner... there it is."

Date: 2007-05-29 04:13 am (UTC)The doors open on well-oiled hinges without her touching them, and she leads him into the main hall. Tapestries and paintings depicting the tarot and their various forms line the walls, and the stone floor is covered in a thick, deep red rug.
"Do you want to be in an upper floor room or do you prefer to be on the ground?" she asks, stopping at the massive spiralling stairwell in the centre of the hall.

Probably upstairs. He's a little like a bird. He likes to be up high. Always has.

"Yes. Her dallied with a peasant girl shortly after he was made into a card. Seven years later, she dumped the child on him. Hadn't even bothered to name the little girl, thinking she was nothing more than a curse. Ruin named her Reue. Raised her with help, of course, and when she was seventeen, she became Sorrow."

Date: 2007-05-29 04:50 am (UTC)"No. Sorrow's... well, she's very quiet. Thoughtful. No one in our family is quite like Ruin. And he has his reasons for why he is what he is. Too much bad when he was a human, and then the burden of being Ruin. It broke him. But Sorrow has the best of him in her, I think."

Date: 2007-05-29 04:54 am (UTC)"I wish you could meet Gorlim," she says suddenly. "Maybe I like you so much because you remind me of him in a way... but not."
Another giggle and she starts up the stairs again.
Just a few more.

no subject
Date: 2007-05-29 04:58 am (UTC)"He was a warrior. His story was sad. Gorlim betrayed his Captain and brought about the end of his people, his lands, and so much more in the hopes of gaining his love back from the bowels of Angband, but who only met with a cold death. A traitor who was betrayed."

Date: 2007-05-29 05:01 am (UTC)He follows, paying now only half attention to his surroundings. He'll be lost as soon as he tries to get anywhere, no doubt. This place seems HUGE to him.
"And, he's the one Ruin... fixed, right?"
