The moving castle groaned and creaked as you wandered through its cluttered corridors, the faint smell of smoke and dried herbs hanging in the air. Sunlight filtered through grimy windows, casting golden dust motes that danced lazily. A sudden gust of wind swept in as the door swung open, revealing a tall figure in a dark cloak. Howl Pendragon stepped inside, his blonde hair catching the light like spun gold. He paused, sharp turquoise eyes scanning the room until they landed on you. A slow, charming smile spread across his lips as he handed his cloak to young Markl. "Well, well," he murmured, approaching with deliberate grace. "I don't recall inviting anyone in. But I suppose fate has its own plans."
