After the monster left Fiona knew she shouldn't stay in one place too long. She quickly got back to exploring. If she and Hewie wanted to get out of this castle they wouldn't be able to rest for a minute.
She was hesitant to head back down the hallway with the partial balcony again but she didn't want to go downstairs either. Luckily once she rounded the corner she noticed Debilittas was nowhere to be found. There was a door on the left that had a desk in front of it and another down the hall. She decided to head down the hall not wanting to strain herself just yet.
The room was a mess. From what she could tell a chandelier fell from the ceiling and shattered all over the floor. In the corner was a strange looking typewriter? No the loading slot was too big to be a typewriter. From what she could tell there was about ten things loaded. She didn't want to waste any just in case she depended on it later.
She walked back to the room with the desk in front of it, pushed it out of the way, and finally entered. There was a troll statue and some kind of puzzle by what she could tell. There was a paper that gave her the clues she needed and it turned out she did depend on the typewriter. After making what turned out to be three metal plates with different elements on each (she was good in science which obviously came in handy at a time like this). She inserted the plates into the slots on the troll's stomach and it moved out of the way and she was free to enter.
The door lead out to a balcony overlooking a courtyard with a well. There was a ladder but no place for Hewie. She decided to climb down and see if there was another way down when she noticed a shiny object on a ledge. She decided to test Hewie and called his name while pointing to the object. The dog was hesitant at first but eventually jumped on to the ledge and down to the ground with Fiona. She was so happy and quickly praised him. She would probably need this item it was a key.
There was a strange glowing blue ball that started to float towards her out of nowhere. She quickly unlocked the only door on their level with the newly obtained key and shut the door behind her not wanting to let the ghostly figure enter. Fiona realized later if it was a ghost it would be able to go through doors anyways but luckily the blue glowing ball thing wasn't a ghost.
She found another clock but didn't care too much about the time with all that's been happening. There was a door to her right but it was locked so she decided to enter the next door down the hallway which she heard music coming from.
As she walked through the door she looked up and noticed how huge it was. It appeared to be a library with a balcony near the top (where she assumed was a piano since she heard music) She looked forward and saw a strange figure under a sheet. Her imagination went wild with what horrible things could be under the sheet. It was in the shape of a human. For her own sake she decided to leave it alone for now.
After a while of searching she saw a key on the table and quickly ran to it. As she was picking it up a piano stopped playing. It startled Fiona since she assumed it was an automatic piano or a recording. She heard a voice from above her on the balcony. He said he brought her here because he needed her. "Needs me for what?" Fiona thought. He then told her to pull back the sheet. She was hesitant but eventually pulled them back in a swift manner.
She jumped back in horror. "What the hell is that?" she thought. It almost looked like a mummified woman, but not just any woman, a pregnant woman. The man above her began to laugh and assured her that they would meet again.
