She’d loved castles her whole life and their history intrigued her. As she stood before the castle ruin she imagined its former glory and recalled its history of battles.
She knew that at one time it had been a formidable obstacle who many attempted to conquer. Although some succeeded, most did not.
She knew of the illnesses which had run rampant within its now crumbling walls. Walls that had once been so protective.
She knew for certain that music had filled the castle and warmed souls and brought smiles to many faces as it was shared.
She recalled that there had been a very loved woman in that castle for many years and she imagined the passion that had been shared within its walls and smiled.
She rolled the history through her mind of its final battle when all was lost and only memories would remain of its past. She winced at the imagined pain and suffering experienced during those times and frowned at the thought.
Though with little left of its former glory, she knew that the castle ruin still attracted many people and it was still very much enjoyed although for different reasons now.
She loved the castle ruin and thought it was beautiful that something which had been through so much still stood firm in so many places.
She gingerly reached a hand out and touched the castle wall and felt the warmth of the energy it still held.
A smile stole across her face as a thought struck her. You know, me and this castle have a lot in common.
