Travel Prompt 26 Visit An Old Castle

I was on a tour to visit an old castle in England. The castle was grey and blue. Parts of it was in ruins. Rocks were crumbling and you had to be careful where you walked. I got off the beaten path. I was lost. It figures. A beautiful Princess wearing a lavender dress beckoned to me. She is part of the scenario. A Princess in a broken down castle. I followed her. She led me through a stone corridor and it was dark. She carried a torch. She is really living her part. A big, grey wolf came up to me. A wolf is my favorite animal. He seems friendly. I smiled. I petted him. He didn't bite.

"Lazarus. Bring the woman with you."

Lazarus and I followed the Princess. The Princess led me to a room with winged tip back chairs and unicorn paintings on the wall. A tea set was on a wooden end table that looked old. There was a picture of a King with stern eyes and a lantern jaw. The Princess and wolf sat in a red velvet winged tip chair. The wolf sat on her lap.

"I am Princess Catherine. I have lived before. I am a ghost. I won't hurt you. Lazarus is a ghost. He won't hurt you. I was pushed off the tower by a jealous man I didn't love. Lazarus jumped with me. Don't feel sad. I am okay being a ghost. Lazarus and I live at the castle. We see people but I never show myself to them. I would scare them. I can tell you believe in ghosts. I need someone to talk to."

"I am Megan. I believe in ghosts. Were you in love with someone?"

"A knight named Cicero. He lives at the castle, too. We see each other all the time. He swallowed poison to be with me. Father wanted me to marry that jealous man. I didn't love him. When he pushed me off the tower and my wolf joined me, it was a good thing. When Cicero killed himself, we had found a way to be together. We are happy."

This Princess was lovely. She didn't look like a ghost. "I am glad you are a happy ghost. You are beautiful. I am glad you wanted to meet me."

Just then a handsome man with dark black hair joined Catherine. "This is my knight Cicero. Meet Megan." He bowed.

"My Princess, are you ready to go?"

"Yes." Cicero took Catherine's hand and they went outside. A big, red dragon appeared and Catherine, Cicero and Lazarus got on the red dragon and flew away.

There was my tour group. The tour group pointed to the dragon. The one girl Anna asked me if I saw that dragon.

"Yes. It's Princess Catherine, her knight Cicero and pet wolf Lazarus."

"Really? Have you been drinking?"

"You saw the dragon, the wolf and a Princess and her knight. Have you been drinking?"

The tour guide said it was getting late and we needed to go back. He had never seen them before. I had enjoyed my day. I got to see a real Princess, Knight, wolf and dragon. I knew it wasn't a dream.
