Excerpt:
A castle sits around a moat of water, the old drawbridge still functional. Solid stone blocks built layer upon layer stack high, revealing an ancient structure. The walls are blackened with age, streaked with marks from centuries of weather. The castle stands surrounded by woodlands where deer roam freely, a glimpse of nature’s untouched beauty. The traditional wooden drawbridge leans slightly, locked in place. Modern roads connect the castle grounds to the surrounding lands, with an archway welcoming guests. Inside the castle walls, green grass spreads across the grounds, well-maintained and lush. In front of the castle, a modern mansion with tall white pillars and a circular door stands proudly, flame-lit lamps on either side burning slowly, casting a warm glow. The sun lights up the façade, while the castle’s high walls shield the grounds from cold winds. A figure approaches, dressed sharply, walking with purpose into this scene where the old and new coexist in harmony
