The landing is almost obnoxiously opulent. It has an expansive marble floor and walls, and the giant staircases on either side have marble steps and railings made of the rarest wood. Purple silk, dyed in the king's personal color is draped across the railings and hangs from the walls. The silk drapings frame oil paintings of the king and his family, and of the king's accomplishments at war as a youth. The artist has signed each one, and is extremely famous. A magnificent gold and crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling with hundreds of small candles burning in it. All other fixtures in the room are also bright gold.
Landing in the Foyer, Inside Palace

small living thing
I am a small living creature. I like to crawl on walls and the floor of the castle. I enjoy stealing food where I can and spying on the people.
Sniff, Sniff, sniff Hm? What are you? I've never seen this species... I am like a mouse but like way cuter and I don't have diseases.  Interesting. So what is it you do, mouse-like creature? I have great hearing, so mainly I listen. I like to crawl on the walls, and I am very soft. I am so new I haven't even been named yet. How interesting. I am a servant. I simply clean and help around. How I envy you. Well, you have a new freind, isn't that something? Guess so. Have you seen the beauty of this room? Humans like me love it.  I do like it, that's why I am in here. It is very nice to the eyes. How well can your kind see? Or smell. The aroma from these candles is...magnificent. We can see and smell really well too, we are like perfect cute little creatures. How amazing. I'd love to take you back to my house. Well, room. I live under my master's house, in a small room.
