> You begin to climb down the cliff, but almost slip to your death. It occurs to you to climb down slowly and carefully.
> After a long climb, you reach the bottom. What do you do now?

> The interior of the castle is grand, filled with cabinets full of treasures, with gems and extravagant paintings lining the halls.. You pass by dozens of different hallways, but they are all barred off with various methods, forcing to stay within the giant group of the burned villagers.

> You continue down the halls until you reach a vast throne room, supported by ivory pillars. The decor only grows even more profound in this chamber.
> However, you don't pay much mind to it, as your attention is immediately grabbed by the gargantuan piles of riches and treasures placed into a hoard behind the throne, which seats one awfully pretty young woman. She hardly reacts as you draw near, merely raising her hand, obliterating all of the people around you with bolts of red lightning. The thinned crowd behind you flees with terror , leaving you alone with a clearly magical ruler of some sort, and her slightly imposing hoard of goodies.

> The woman is wearing a rather frilly gown of a bright pink, clashing with her deep blue hair, which also appears to extend past her legs. Her eyeballs are completely black.

That is a very nice name, actually.
