Chapter 1
Ah, the Evergreen forest, so mysterious, dangerous, wild, unusual... Not like the city parks of Canterlot, you can see the real nature in it - untouched by the pony's hoof! And these ponies are so "domesticated" that something as real and alive as this forest seems strange and... unnatural to them? But there are none here, and no one interferes with the free flight of thoughts, only the dark crowns of trees descending almost to the ground and the fresh forest air. How inspiring it is! Periodic interesting finds in the form of abandoned, unprecedented beauty, fountains, moss-covered columns and statues add a special charm, what can we say about the ruins of the old castle? Oh, the old castle is one of the most interesting places in this forest! </i>Rumor has it that there are still a lot of traps left... And that ghosts roam there, the most diverse: those that are invisible to the eyes of an ordinary pony, and those that strike terror into those who wander here, as well as those that inhabit knight's armor, and they do not just scare those who accidentally get into this mysterious place ... And they can even kill and sell for organs! P-f-f! And who came up with all this? Just fairy tales for stupid foals, so that they don't wander anywhere! That's where I'm heading now, to inspire myself with this creepy atmosphere, to feel this dampness, the smell of history... When I first wandered into the castle in search of inspiration, it helped me a lot. And now I want to take a closer look at this castle, find a library so that I can already think about my creation under inspiration, and also to learn the history of the past, because surely there are no books like in this castle in an ordinary library! I live on the very outskirts and I don't have to walk for a long time. I have about two hundred steps left to the castle, which is not much. The road to it runs through thickets, a dense forest and a small swampy pond covered with mud, but most of the way is already behind. Here he is on the horizon! The castle of the two sisters is extraordinarily beautiful in its architecture, its dark towers stood out menacingly against the gloomy evening sky, and despite the decadent state of the facades, they remained as beautiful as a thousand years ago! – Damn, I should have taken a camera to capture it! Bypassing the collapsed pieces of walls, I pass into the long corridor of the castle, it's starting to get dark outside, but I haven't been afraid of the dark for a long time. After all, if I hadn't learned this, there would have been no inspiration!
