The dungeon was dark and damp, I could hear something scurrying around beneath me. I pointed my torch at the ground. As the light illuminated the floor, a small animal hissed and ran away, as if it were afraid of the light.
What am I doing? This is no place for a princess. I looked back at the stairs, perhaps I should go back. Back to my nice warm room, my soft bed and loyal cats. No, I must continue, this is my last chance.
I continued down the dungeon halls, looking at various cells. They were all empty, we only had one prisoner this night. He must be bruised and beaten, cold and shivering. As I thought about him, all alone and helpless, my legs began to shake.
