"Plenty of places, my lady, one of the other Lycans nods

"Show me the outside. Let me think about it,

"All right." Silas bows and leads the way out

The courtyard is beautiful from down here. The pillars have pretty vines growing around them. There are pretty flowers growing around the stone surroundings and the scent is out of this world. Past the courtyard is a massive stairway that leads into what I'm thinking is a village dedicated to those who work for the King.

"She doesn't have shoes on, someone whispers.

""What?" Silas looks down at my feet.

It's cool.

Silas leads me to the entrance and opens up a keypad. He types in four numbers and the entire thing quakes as the doors all around begin to slide open. My jaw basically hits the floor as he walks us in and the lights all start to come on. There isn't a single plant in sight. In fact, the place looks like an empty observatory. Right in the center is a spiral walkway that leads to a platform at the top. The platform is held up by six huge iron pillars. There are glass shelves all the way around that connect some of the pillars. What really intrigues me is the sprinkler system. The pipes are inade of silver.
