You find yourself in front of the second door, and you knock heavily on it. Before long, you hear the door open with a loud creak. Behind it is a young woman in pink, and she has wings!
"Ah, welcome," she says in a refreshing voice. "I am Angelica," she sighs, "but some call me Angelheart...I am not very fond of it, however..."
She stands up a bit straighter and clears her throat. "Well,I see you've come to visit the castle. Did you come because of the party?"
You explain to her why you've come, and she looks a bit surprised. Before she can comment, however, you ask, "Why aren't you at the party?"
Rather than looking offended, she looks pleased. "Well, I was invited, but everyone knew I couldn't come. I help the... I help Rulyan guard this tower. Well, not so much gaurd as take care of the creatures here."
"Like who?" you ask, having seen no creature here yet.
"Like me," says a low male voice.
What you see next is quite startling. A large half-horse half-bird creature trots over to Angelica, sitting down at her heels. "I am Quom, a hippogryph."
Angelica smiles and continues, "Rulyan is a very special person. He's more than anyone could ever ask for. If you go down to the last door in the hall, you should be able to talk to him for a bit."
The hippogryph looks at the woman with curiosity in his eyes. "Why did you tell the wanderor that and not that Rulyan is..."
With one look, Quom stops talking and looks over to you. "Some of the other inhabitance might want to talk to you as well, wanderor... Please go now."
