In the heart of the forest, a majestic mansion stood proudly at the centre, guarded by numerous sentinels donning fierce expressions as they patrolled the surroundings.
While conducting their rounds, a sudden gust of wind swept through, prompting them all to halt abruptly.
"Did someone pass by?" queried one of the guards, a cruel glint flickering in his eyes.
"Even if no one passed, the master has instructed us to be vigilant and report any intrusion immediately."
The guards, in unison, produced bells and began ringing them, although the bells produced more of a resounding "dong" from within the mansion rather than a traditional ring.
This resonant sound caused the entire mansion to illuminate, and individuals emerged with furrowed brows.
Simultaneously, a scream pierced the air from one of the castle's corners.
In response to the screams, a myriad of spells were unleashed ruthlessly and simultaneously, without a moment's hesitation.
