Note: I edited the previous chapter. Changed the apple scene so it's much more interesting now. The library scene was edited too. Changed the title as well.

Castle Vlad's front lobby was yet another great hall that was about as large as the one where we hooked up with Dess and Bart, but fancier than the hall whose only defining feature was the cathedral-like stained glass wheel window I'd broken.
"Don't look at the walls," Dess reminded everyone.
The trappings on its walls which I could see from the second-floor landing we'd arrived in were a lot like the tapestries from the crypt. They gave off the same horrific vibes that caused goosebumps to rise on one's arms.
"What a mess," I observed.
