Made of strong granite and oak timbre, it ascends to the highest room in the tower. The granite glitters in the light from the torches that line the walls. The oak is sleek and coated in a glistening protectant.
A spiral staircase, Inside Tower

king
I am the king. I rule this kingdom alongside my wife, the queen. It is my divine right to be the king because my father was the king before me.
I haven't heard any yet, but I'm very concerned for my people. Who is working on finding out what's going on? I am here keeping guard, but people say little things here and there. You are the king, you tell me! If I knew, I would tell you. I haven't heard anything yet. I wonder how long we should stay here in this spiral staircase.  What are you going to tell the people out there? They are going crazy! I've really got to come up with something good to calm them. Do you have any suggestions? Be honest! Make a plan and tell them! Ok, let's call in the general to see what will be our next move.  You seem to be a bit clueless or not concerned. Why so? Do you know who is behind this? Clueless? I am THE one and only king. I rely on the experts here to advise, but I make all ultimate decisions. The rumors are that a neighboring king is plotting to take over our kingdom.  SEE, now I see some concern here. You almost made me feel there was nothing to be concerned about here! I serve to protect your family. I will die for you. There is absolutely cause for concern, but I must not show it lest I cause the people to panic. Come help me fight, loyal guard.  I will help you fight til the death!
