Exploring the Castle

The Vault

Henry went right and rounded the corner to find a large door at the end of the hall. It was massive, situated in an ornate gold door-frame decorated with jewels, the door had a stylized sun with a hole in the middle as some sort of lock. It beckoned to Henry, practically screaming there's something important behind this. He stood in quiet contemplation and eyeing the gems embedded in the door-frame.

"Several instruments detected unusual magical anomalies early this morning, I'll be checking on the elements before we start court, just to be safe."

Henry heard voices from the corridor behind him. He looked around, there was a door just behind him, he squeezed into the room, a small, vacant storage room of some kind with wooden crates stacked haphazardly against the back wall, and left the door ajar to peak through it.

A tall white winged unicorn, with a flowing mane and tail, strolled past with a pair of armored unicorn guards behind her. Her unique appearance, practiced grace and golden regalia indicated she was someone important. She approached the door and lowered her head to slide her horn into the lock, her horn glowed a soft blue, and the door, no vault, slid open with all the flair of revealing some ancient, mystical wonder.

Henry squinted to see past the dazzling display as the mare stepped back. Placed on a pedestal, was a large bejeweled case. The precious stones decorating the blue case gleamed in fading mage light, their splendor immediately caught Henry's keen gaze.

He didn't care what the box contained, the case alone was worth a fortune in his eyes. He strained to keep it in sight, made a soft noise of frustration as the regal mare blocked his view as she inspected its contents. In a matter of moments, she returned it to its place and closed the vault door. Henry waited until the entourage were well and truly out of sight to leave the storage room. He made a beeline for the vault, staring intently at the lock.
