Halfway down the room, the tinkling comes again. You spin around and catch a glimpse of something. It is the glimmer of a golden goblet, wobbling slightly. As you approach, it stills, seemingly unremarkable once again. You peer inside and find nothing but the bottom of the cup. Whatever made the noise seems to have gone. You leave the room, wondering if you will meet the castle's inhabitants.

Back out in the entry hall, you turn your attention to the staircase. It is truly marvelous. It stretches up at least two stories before splitting and crossing back on itself to lead to the next floor. It is made of the same swirling multicolored marble as all the other floors. The oranges, pinks, purples, and blues meld perfectly, creating new shades between them.

Down the center of the staircase runs a carpet of pearlescent white. It looks so soft that you can hardly wait to feel it underfoot. The banister is pure gold, with a relief of climbing roses. The perfect gold roses are caught in that sweet moment between bloom and closed innocence. You place your foot upon the carpet and are delighted to find it as soft as it looks.

The feeling is a mixture of feather down, velvet, and kitten fur. It is far and away the softest thing you have ever felt. You run your hand delicately along the gold banister as you walk up the stairs. Though the staircase is long, you do not feel tired as you climb. It is several minutes before you reach the split in the stairwell and several more before you arrive on the next floor.

This area seems to be much more comfortable and home-like in comparison to the grandeur of the bottom floor. You arrive in a dark paneled landing. The gleaming panels are inlaid with scenes of fairies tending to gardens and communing with animals of the forest. A long runner rug leads down either end of the landing

It is the same color and texture as moss, and once you set your foot upon it, you seriously wonder if it is. You turn left, drawn to a long gallery with frames hanging on the walls and a large circular window at the end. The window is stained glass, depicting the phases of the moon. The silvery light of the real moon through the glass makes the window look like a piece of painted water.

Along the walls of the gallery are dozens of framed paintings. They are some of the most beautiful things you have ever seen. A number of them show majestic landscapes and scenes. A tall ship rides the churning waves of the open ocean. While most of the sky is darkened by a storm, a beam of sunlight highlights the path forward to a safe haven. Another painting is of a forest.
