Ch 2: The Throne Room
The green rider put his horse in the stables and walked through the town. It was a growing town with many merchants and many people to buy things from. Everyone had stopped him in the street to greet him and congratulate him. Some thanked him and some tried to give him rupees, but he had given them rupees instead. He threw some children some rupees and they ran after them. Finally he had passed the market and walked along the path to the castle. No one was around, so he started to sprint toward the castle gates.
"Welcome, sir!" a guard cried, throwing open the gates.
"Good morning!" the Green Rider stopped running and walked through the gates.
"Great to see you here again, sir."
"Keep it up!"
The castle towered many feet into the air. It was large and had cone shaped tops on each tower. A moat was around it and a gate-bridge was the only way in, except for a small opening for water on the side.
