The immense castle doors thudded shut with a final, resonant boom, locking us into the cool embrace of the night. Disguised in rough-spun clothes, Prince Link darted ahead through the archway shadows, his blue eyes alight with a conspiratorial fire. I followed close, the dread of royal displeasure a cold weight in my stomach. He glanced back, his grin visible even beneath the shadow of his hood. 'Keep up, you!' he urged, his voice a hushed yet eager command. 'If they catch us now, we’ll never hear the end of it.' Without waiting, he broke into a sprint, the thrill of disobedience lending wings to his feet.
