The two of us get back down to the first floor where there is a team of Lycans ready for us with packages and paperwork.

"Where

I can't just stay in my room?"

"I have options? I c

"No, the King would like you at a more public location,

"You got anything outside?

"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.

I don't like wearing them anyway, I wave him off and start the journey down the stairs counting as I go. "Eighty-

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. I can feel the threatening sensation coming off of them as I get closer. She was really into plants because silver is really good for them. Helps prevent plant blight I follow Silas up the walkway to see that the system follows along the sides where there is a single shelf that follows up to the platform. The platform is just an open space at the top with a small round room where the bathroom is. What's captivating are the open panels that let the sun in.

I've heard enough from him and it gives me a better incentive to never bring it up with the King. It sounds complicated. I know very little about Lycans. One thing that is taught in our schools is that if we ever come across one, submit. Don't try to fight them. They're beasts with the kind of power that makes a wolf seem like a harmless domestic dog. This is definitely the right place to
