♪♫ Nightingale's Heart ♪♫
You hear the sound of clockwork gears clicking together, steadily slowing down.
Tick ... tick ... tick ...
Just before they stop, church bells begin to ring.
Tick ... tick ... tick ...
Just before they stop, church bells begin to ring.

You are in a dark room; there is no light and no sound, and this goes on until it hits the very edge of being too much when small gold letters burn themselves into existence, revealing two doors. The left one is boarded and chained; the right one stands wide open. There is light beyond it.
Once upon a time, in a certain treacherous kingdom, a fourteen-year-old princess ruled from the summit.

the throne room
You are standing in an opulent throne room; the door through which you came is gone, if you turn to look -- there is a wide set of double-doors across from you, covered in a fantastic array of intricate elaborate carvings. The floor is made of marble, the carpet is made out of plush red velvet, there are three chandeliers of gold and crystal hanging from the ceiling. The throne itself, on a raised black dias, is apparently made of solid gold. On the wall behind the throne hangs an elaborate tapestry, detailing a lush countryside surrounding a castle that appears to be covered in gold leaf. One wall is covered in heavy black velvet curtains.
Very distantly, you can still hear the sound of church bells. They ring fourteen times before coming to a stop.

It's another dark room -- barely larger than a closet, really. It stinks of blood.

Lucifenia
The path is steep, but not enough to make walking difficult. At the end, you arrive at a bustling city, full of people going about their daily lives. People are predominantly wearing different shades of yellow, though a large minority are wearing Coral-pink, and there are flashes of other familiar colors may be seen in the crowd. It is your ideal storybook scene of happy and hard workers, with nothing out of place ...
... except for the large guillotine that stands in the center of the square. Judging by the blade, it's been recently used ...
There is a woman in a hood and cloak standing in front of the guillotine, looking up at it.
Re: Lucifenia
[because wow normality around something so dark is pretty morbid, and someone was recently executed, maybe she knows]

The Ballroom
None of them have their heads; the stumps of their necks are all clean-cut, if still bloody.
