This entrance has seen better days.  The stones are a bit askew, and have lots of mosses growing on them.  But there is also a magical quality about this entrance.  It is not something you see, but rather feel.  And every now and then you can catch a shimmer out of the corner of your eye.
Entrance to castle, Outside Castle
knight
king
I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
Ah brave knight. I have a most onerous task for you. Are you up for a challenge? Does it involve that dragon over there? You are both brave and astute my loyal knight. I have to admit I'm terrified. I don't think this armor is going to stop dragon fire Thanks to my utter fearlessness and unparalleled courage I have done the impossible. Do you know what your magnificent king has achieved loyal knight? You have achieved greatness so that you can send people like me to die at the hand of a dragon  Nay. I would never sacrifice my warriors for nothing. Even one that is insolent such as yourself. I will do my best sire. To fear is to he human Stop you fool! You said you wanted me to attack the dragon, did you not? Nay. Whence did I command it? I did not you fool. I have forged an alliance with the dragons and you risked destroying that alliance.  I'm sorry
