Valerie's imagination was absolutely alight with possibilities. It was like finding an adventure within an adventure. She was already on one of the most exciting journeys of her life, and it wasn't nearly as linear as she was used too. How many secrets and wonders did this place hold? Would she find a secret chamber? Perhaps a few emergency escape tunnels hidden behind a trap door? Or what if there was a secret garden hidden away from the rest of the world?<br/><br/>Even if Valerie didn't find something like that, she was absolutely in awe at the beauty and architecture that existed within these stone walls.  Around every corner was something different. No one room ever seemed to match another. The embellishments changed, the styles were sorted, and she found herself absolutely charmed by the intricacies that hid beneath every nook and cranny.<br/><br/><em>Fft...pap</em><br/><br/>What was that?<br/><em><br/>Fft...pap</em><br/><br/>Valerie paused, blinking as she tilted her ear in the sound's direction. There couldn't possibly be another soul up at this hour, right...?<br/><br/><em>Fft...pap</em><br/><br/>Valerie peeked around the corner slowly, her eyes squinting as she surveyed the hall for the source of this strange sound. When she spotted a man wandering aimlessly, tossing a pigskin up and down, her gaze instantly slanted towards one of the nearby vases that sat on a beautiful wooden side table. "Hey, be careful!" She blurted out before really thinking about it. "You shouldn't toss a ball around indoors." She added, pointing towards the aforementioned vase - one of many delicate decorations, she was sure.
