The morning sun peeked through the castle windows, casting a warm glow on the stone floors. Today was the day we would begin preparing for the Festival of Shadows, a grand event celebrated once every decade. The whole kingdom was abuzz with excitement, and I could feel the anticipation in the air. I stretched and got out of bed, ready to tackle the tasks ahead.
As I walked down the corridor, I could hear the bustling activity of the castle staff. The halls were filled with the sounds of people hurrying about, carrying decorations and supplies. I made my way to the grand hall, where Lilith, Arawn, Baelgor, and Morgana were already gathered, discussing the plans.
"Good morning, everyone!" I greeted, joining them at the large oak table covered in papers and blueprints.
"Morning, Emily," Lilith replied, her eyes scanning a list. "We were just going over the final preparations for the festival."
