The hidden room
There was once a boy, who lived in a castle. A magnificent castle of white.
The castle, it had wonderful gardens, with flowers, fountains and the most exquisite scultures not to be seen for a thousand miles. In those gardens, the little boy forlicked together with his little friends. They laughed and they played, with not a care in the world.
One day, they all agreed, the castle was too small, and the little children, they went to play outside. Outside where the woners of the world enthralled their hearts. One by one, they all wandered off, not leaving with one farewell.
One by one, till only 2 remained.
Still, they led their carefree lives, untilone day, came a staranger at the door. The bioy was intrigued, though not his 2 friends. Against their advice, he let her in. They had fun for a while, and he forgot his two friends. Till, she ransacked the castle, and left .
The boy cried, for days and nights, till he saw a hankerchief, held out by his 2 friends. The had not left. So the little boy locked up that castle of his, afraid of anymore thieves. The only keys he forged, he gave to the 2.
The catle walls turned black, and cold, the woods around all turned black, and he forged a 3rd key, and also the 4th. He made several others, but they were all broken before he gave them away.
Then the people started to build their village around those walls, encroaching into the hallowed grounds. The boy had did not like that. He thus put up even stronger defences, magical glyps, moats, monsters, and traps, just so the people will not stray into his castle.
He wanted to open the gates, and so he did.
