A crumbling hole gapes in the side of the stone, surrounded by rotted wood timbers. A few rusted pieces of block and tackle lay half-buried in scraggly grass. A strange sort of humming noise emanates from within.
Abandoned Mine, Mountain
king's horses
rat
I am a rat I love to eat crumbs dropped on the floor. I love dark places and scurrying about the castle. The kitchen pantry has the best food.
Anything to nibble around here? If you like Hay, yeah. But that's pretty much it. Where is the Hay? Not here in the abandoned mine it is back in the stables. Ah I see. My legs are not as big as yours so it is not such an easy journey for me!  I do have amazing legs don't I? The King picked the best horses. They are rather impressive What are you doing here? I don't know, I was let out to roam and ended up here. Fair enough. I like dark places and nibbles.  Can you help me find my way home? Maybe, where is home? the stables you mentioned? Yes, back at the King's castle?
