Colour And Strings

Is Its Kindness?

'Where is it?'
It's early in the morning and Uriel is panicking. She couldn't find it, the necklace.
'Where is it!? I need to find it, where did I last see it? Waterfall!'

As soon as the idea came to her, she took off running toward waterfall hoping it's there, nothing.

Uriel can feel tears coming out, she don't know what to do or where to look, she start walking again hoping someone seen it, she asked everyone but nothing came up, she decide to look in the wood.

After hours of walking, she arrived at a forest, she know if she goes any further she will get lost but she have to risk it, it's too important for her to lose it, she just have to.

She wondered and wondered until it's night time, she took out a lantern from her bag and carried on looking, it start to rain, she found some berries for food as she went on deeper.

The people in the village is staring to get worried but still Uriel decide to carry on, it's mid-night now and she's only getting more tired, lost, hungry and scared, but she's determined to find it.

She found a...castle? What the heck of this doing here? And no one is coming here to explore it anything?

It's this big and no one in the village ever mentioned anything about...well guess it wouldn't hurt to take a look...
Uriel knock in the...door? Gate? Too big to confirm but there's no way they're going to hear her.

Uriel waited and was about to go when the door opened, not sure if this means she could go in or something so she waited for someone or some sigh to show that she can come in.

Uriel is a polite person and would never do anything like going in someone's house without permission so she only gone in when the dark room lot up with light, that should mean someone at least know she's here.

The hall is very big, and very cold, Uriel called out "Hello? Is anyone here? I'm sorry for intruding but may I stay here for a bit? I promise it's only for tonight and I would never come back again,"

Are you not gonna answer?

No one answered but suddenly the hallway to Uriel's left lit up by fire torch almost like telling het to go there, she followed, making sure to wipe the mud clean off her feet, it's a very long hallway but the light stop at a door.

Wondering how it's doing this, Uriel went inside the room, it for a bed, table, window with curtains, bathroom and a closet, this is a guest room right?

'Why dose it feel like someone wants me to stay here? Am I thinking too much and that this person is just kind? I guess, I need to thank this person, maybe tomorrow but...'

"Thank you," Uriel called outside the door. She walk to the window and stare at the sky for a few minute and the rain went away showing a clear sky filled with sparkling stars.

She feels like drawing but was too tired so she washed up then she got ready for bed, she fell asleep really fast as she dream of her home, arts, and her friend.

Mornings~~~

Uriel got up real early and got dressed quickly as she decide to thank the owner of this house.

She kind of realised how stupid she was walking in the definitely suspicious castle and the suspicious way she was shown to her room but nothing happened so she decide she was thinking too much.

She want to thank the owner but she don't really want to go around like that, she could leave a note but she's too polite to do that tho it it could save a lot of time.

There doesn't seem to be anyone here but she could feel someone here, after a while she didn't bump into anyone but just because she feel like she need to pay them back.

She left some money at the room she stayed in then she went out to look for the necklace again, she packed up everything when she noticed extract things in her bagpack, food, clothes, equipment and all that.

At the bottom, she found her necklace, she should be thinking how this person could have stole it from het but she decide to look at the bright side.

After telling thank you in the hallway, she made her way to the door, the moment she opens it, her village is in sight, she was so happy that she rushed out to her friends and didn't notice how the castle is gone, it's kinda creepy.

After confirming she's alright, they left her to rest, she didn't tell them about the castle because she did say she wouldn't bother them again so she just told them she found some people that helped her, if she says that she just been wondering thought the night, she will never hear the end of it.

The next few days she lived a normal life, talking, working, drawing and all that lot, she gathered some more money and want to give them to the castle but she couldn't find it, she don't even know how she entered the forest, there just seems no way for her to return.

What happened then? What happened to her? Was she imagining it? Was it's just a dream? Or was it...
