The air bit into my skin, since it was cold. My expensive fur coat protected me as effectively as a twig would have protected me against a lion. Though the air was chilly, it was fresh and the smell of the pine forest cleared away anything was stuffing my breathing. My breath turned into a misty gas as the warm air started mixing this the frosty one. It seemed as though my breath turned into pale ghosts and just float away into the dark starry sky. Yet through this wonder and this cold, I had to walk, walk in the dead of night, walk on a moonlit path, walk through an abysmal forest. I had to walk to the observatory that was in the middle of the monstrous forest to deliver some papers my master had given me. I once asked my master why the observatory was so deep within the forest and he would always say, "Because it is hard to see the stars when there are so many lanterns in the village, but enough talk, you must go to sleep."
After a time that seemed to go on forever, I saw the big tall building, but big and tall were very simple words to describe this huge tower, but the best word would be hostile. Yes, the building was dark and it's battlements were tall, the windows had metal guards to prevent intruders and there was only one entrance. "Don't move boy." A voice commanded me from behind. I felt a blunt object hit me on my temple and everything went blank.
