I was walking down the steps thinking of what I saw through the crystal telescope, it was a world, like ours, but, it was.. Bright, really bright all around, and there was this large star, it was maybe the source of the light. Our world, was the complete opposite, dark, night, illuminated by the moon. I loved the stars, I was just glad our stars aren't as big as their big one, otherwise I think I would hide in a dark room all day. Anyway, I also saw a kid, with short, blonde, shaggy hair, I think it was strange that they had such short hair, maybe their world had different styles and traditions. Also the kid, I could sense that they had magical abilities, maybe the power to sense a person? Or they were just looking up at the same moment I looked at them. But even though, I could sense magic, see me or not. Their kingdom was also filled with plants, but they were green and colorful, they had no thorns and it was very beautiful except for the blinding light. I came to the last step, huh, being lost in thought must make time go by fast. So as I was exiting the tower, I passed by one of our Rooks, Matilda, she guards the Eastern Tower and is kind of like a grandmother to me. I walked up to her and said, "Hi Matilda, anything interesting happen today?" she looked down at me, for a 472 year old she was looking fabulous today honestly, "Nope, not really. Except... Bishop Mary, word in the castle is she fell into the pig pen." I laughed, Bishop Mary deserved it, she was like this angel in front of the queen, but like a serpent behind her back. Once she strangled a slave to death because she bumped into her, spilling the tea,"She deserved it." Matilda shook her head,"She might have, but now she be pippin' mad, I'd reccomend staying away for now." I nodded, "Got it, well I've to go bake now."She just nodded and continued patroling the area. I kept walking toward the kitchen and entered to see pure chaos.
