Farty strolled around the empty palace, its fur puffed up and body trembling with fear. It looked around frantically, searching for someone.
[Lucien! Where are you?]
Farty cried out, its voice echoing through the grand, but ghostly, halls of the palace.
It wandered aimlessly, its tiny heart racing with anxiety. The palace was warm, but it felt cold and eerie to Farty. Shadows danced on the walls, and every creak of the floorboards made it jump.
[LLUUCCCIIIIIEEENNNN]
Farty's voice echoed down the gloomy corridor, making it shiver even more.
Then, Farty heard noises coming from a nearby room. "Nghhhh!!! Ah!! Ahh!!!"
The sounds made Farty even more nervous, but it gathered its courage and followed the source of the noise. It reached a slightly ajar door and peeked inside.
