Once upon a time, in a land far away, there stood a mysterious castle on a cliff. This castle, known as the Castle of Whispers, was said to be haunted by the spirits of long-dead knights. The castle itself was a masterpiece of gothic architecture, with its tall towers and arched windows. The walls were made of dark stone, and the roof was covered in red tiles that glowed under the moonlight.
The castle was surrounded by a dense forest, where twisted trees reached out like skeletal hands. At night, the forest came alive with the sounds of rustling leaves and distant howls. The air was thick with an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional hoot of an owl or the flutter of bats.
