Kellan walked the roads of Dreygen for days. She was looking for a place she could stay.
Finally on the sixth day that she was searching she strayed off the main road and through a patch of woods. She came out on the other side to find a large green glade. To the north the glade was protected by high, jagged, imposing cliffs. To the east there was a forest with the sounds of ocean waves beyond. To the south and west the forest was dark and dense which also seemed to form an impenetrable wall around the glade. In the middle of the glade though the most magnificant part of the area stood. It was a large rock formation that could just barely be recognized as a castle by a door at the base and a tower with windows reaching to the sky.
Off to the left of it was a large stream, possibly a tributary for the river that had been a mile down the road she traveled. There was a waterfall that tumbled down from somewhere in the castle's structure and fell into the stream.
Kellan was not easily impressed, but this place took away more unecessary breaths from her lungs. "I've found my home."
She walked over to the castle and opened it's door. She entered and reveled in the beauty of the foyer. It had no furnishings except a long table on the right wall and a few tatered green and silver tapestries with coats of arms on them, but the room radiated age and peace. There was a marble staircase directly in front of her about 100 paces. It led to a landing that seemed to be lined with doors and going left and right in infinince.
She walked through an archway to her left and found a parlor with a fireplace and beaten couches. There was one oversized chair placed right beside the fireplace that was overturned and she righted it's position. She continued her tour of the house finding a kitchen, dining room, ball room, and hundreds of living quarters.
She eventually came back to the parlor, satisfied, and sat in the oversized chair looking up at a painting of a young girl, that quite resembled her, only with dark brown eyes and more tanned skin. She smiled up at the girl in the painting, resolve settling in her heart to stay.
