the red rug 5

Water from a near by stream raced swiftly across the path it was rising but not even that stopped her.Now out of the forest without a scratch she could see the castle.Stonewalls surrounded the castle with tall towers on all four corners.A long drawbridge leading up to a pair of large wooden doors. They crossed the bridge she could see the water was deep and green. The mote encircled the entire castle.At the entrance of the castle stood two guards.They were dressed in armor shinny swords hung from their sides.Halt who goes their one guard said.Clawed we must fool the guards to get into the castle she whispered.It ‘tis I a lonely old woman with my cat.We have traveled far to bring these gifts and bless the newborn princess.Then you may enter and the guards stepped aside.The king and the queen will be happy to see you.Thank you my good man almost choking on the words.The large creaky wooden doors swung open.They stepped inside it was a long hall with tile on the floor a red rug ran all the way into the next room
