The cold never left this place all year. It was frozen solid and did not permit just anyone’s feet from walking on its grounds. It was a place where one could look down at the sharp, sword-like boulders sticking out below.75b03541e83ab9cb

We walked out from my small, long room and into the corridor. The female shamans were standing in a line along the walls of the corridor. This completely dark castle was made up entirely of black marble. And these women were also wearing long, black robes. They wore tall crowns on their heads, but they were all wearing black veiled hats that covered their bodies, so I’ve never gotten a proper look at their faces.eaeb2aaea73bf3b4
Among them, I ef433ec9a4 was the only 107498b40a one who wore a1d238050a a long white c9f89fd4d1 robe made up 443c8430af of wool.596cc53dff6ab63e

They did 851c31aaf1 not light deb4071e32 torches in 4d1f6fb4b3 the castle. The only source of 9ec64d2e2b light came from the 84686915df natural light coming from 97fe722279 the tall ceilings, but 73580efbb7 it was faint and b49b026b22 weak like the light 8d0fd904f3 that reached the bottom 67e90410a3 of a deep well.7c02c0a3e26429bc
From before 0c4d5b7af1 I could 4486055362 remember, I 4822bfe61e had always 43cd11a09a lived in 7ee413defe this castle. My daily routine was cd7527e579 always the same. When the moon 1b42897e9f rose, I would bd327306d3 get up and 664b7f0b98 read the scriptures 288ff62017 and begin to 30838609c2 pray. I would 71238e45fd recite the 136bd19964 chants that 34948c00c4 had been f74e5d5efc passed down ee25a468ef since ancient 1d1d46be47 times.89980e3e733792db

And then I 596b99a226 would pass the e66eb79a3c central palace of 14e86beecb this stone fortress 1fcca61bfc and go down 291f21cc00 a long flight b826b97fa8 of stairs. Still unable b77ecd0878 to turn a4c5dd7cbe on any bcfefdcdeb source of cf172fff59 light, I 2c40ca558f would go 45c19c97b5 down until 7838bd43d4 I reached 294e31454f a large 0d9b03ae92 underground cave. Once there, 6a96b4bed7 a pond d8a81a3f13 full of b208629a69 moonwater would 03f50b2c14 appear. I would have to ad040bf642 completely undress and dunk e7bd84d927 my body in the eb45714a7a pond every single day. And with 1b2996370b that, my 5f100b28f6 day in 135020f58f Paran would 43faada405 begin.0e6670a6c4d9d46d
The moonwater was the 51e2dc0cd6 essence of this entire 057bfd263a stone fortress. The Snow Mountain, a4923ec249 a difficult 9769c74641 place for people ccba612d3f to climb, and 16116959b7 this fortress, surrounded 6fa5052bca by sharp, piercing 28567918c6 swords, was for 8491fcdfe0 the sole purpose 97ab595a0c of protecting the 97daf7f4e4 moonwater.81e7ef7939bc2f65
