Apple's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Your arrival is marked by the feel of sand under your feet, with the sound and smell of the ocean wafting in from behind you. A dampness hangs in the air and the sky is overcast. Directly in front of you the sand fades into a grassy hill, on top of which a white castle rests. To the left, a little ways off, you can see tall sandstone cliffs. Off to the right is a large field of sunflowers that stretches out into the distance. There are no paths or signs anywhere to be seen.

Apple? That nice girl...

I want to see her so I can make sure she's okay.

He thinks for a long moment. "That's a good reason. Sometimes the simple ones are always the best, right?"

There is a clunk, and a portion of the column disappears. Inside is a spiral staircase leading up.

Thank you so much.

"It wasn't me. You're the one who said it, aren't you?"

He smiles and steps aside. You can head on up.
