The secret passage (by BlackRabbit-13)
It's been several months now since Kyu had first stayed at the castle. Since then, the young dragon has alternated short visits to even several days long stays.
Prince Borgon certainly never minded once to have someone with such a jovial and cheerful soul around him, and he's in fact spent hours staring at the field grass-like green of those lively eyes.
Kyu also got to know the other inhabitants of the castle.
Silva, at the suggestion of Borgon himself, gave him one of the robes that the prince used to wear when he was more or less the same size as him.
A seemingly welcome gift, considering the way the little dragon sports that orange jerkin around the castle.
Moreover, like any guest who spends at least a few nights at the castle, one day Kyu also had to meet the guardian spirit of the place: the ex-captain of the guard, Sir Cordiale.
Although a little intimidated at first, the little dragon eventually became familiar with the gosthly hare as well.
Not that it was difficult, considering the latter's friendly nature.
And Sir Cordiale certainly didn't mind having someone to chat with from time to time, when at night the castle becomes quiet and the only noise is the one produced by the flames of candles and torches.
And so it happens one night that, lost in the tales of the hare's ancient adventures, Kyu realizes that he has stopped for too long at the castle. Important chores await him right at the crack of dawn, and he cannot sleep there.
But he can't even go through the main door, certainly Lady Silva is asleep at that time, and he would be sorry to wake her up to have the main door open.
And so, the ghost beckons him to follow him.
After crossing several corridors and passing a couple of flights of stairs, the little dragon and the ghostly hare stop in front of a corridor like any other. Before Kyu can ask why they climbed so high, if he had to go down and out, the hare moves an almost transparent paw in front of a candlestick, taking possession of it.
The candlestick turns backwards, and the sound of poorly oiled gears makes Kyu shiver. A little later, from behind one of the drapes bearing the castle's coat of arms, a wall turns almost ninety degrees, thus revealing a secret passage .
Sir Cordiale beckons Kyu to cross it: the path ends in fact outside the walls, hidden by a dense forest, right in the direction of the village.
Will it be trustworthy?
The hare seems to be convinced of its own thing about it!
Once again, BlackRabbit-13 proves to be a very talented artist and a nice person to talk with.
And, as usual, Kyukyusaurus shows to be the kyutest dragon of the princedom! Surely, Sir Cordiale will have good care of him ^^

Well, he's technically in between life and death, so... he's kinda truthful?
I mean, since the good Sir's been living in the mansion for a very long time might as well trust him I suppose OvvO
