I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and the soft rustling of leaves outside my window. It was just another beautiful morning at the enchanted castle where I lived with my father, Maurice. But little did I know that this ordinary day would soon turn into something extraordinary.
As I made my way downstairs, I couldn't help but notice the cold, eerie atmosphere that seemed to surround me. The chandeliers were flickering dimly and the shadows cast by them seemed to dance across the walls like dark creatures. My father had warned me about this place before but I never really believed him until now.

The door creaked open as I entered the great hall where my father sat slumped over a chair, his eyes fixed on something in front of him. The fire crackled and spat as it roared to life, illuminating the darkened space with a warm glow. It was then that I noticed her - the beautiful enchanted rose placed delicately in a vase on a nearby table. She had always been there for me since my father's imprisonment but today she seemed different somehow. Her petals were slightly wilted and her colors less vibrant than usual. Little did I know, this would be our last encounter before she disappeared forever.
