Violet flexed her wings as she landed, making a soft thump in the grass around her. she was in cennet, the paradise in Hell. Before her, was a gigantic stone castle, straight out of some medieval story with a mote and everything.

Cayden came much less gracefully, landing on his stomach the way one would after doing a belly flop off the diving board, if you missed the pool completely. "Oww," he winced as he got up, blinking a few times when he saw the scenery. "WOAH!" He exclaimed, looking around. "We're not where we was anymore! So where's the kitties? An is that your castle? That BIG ONE?"

Violet turned toward him when she heard Cayden land, and she just couldn’t help feeling a little proud at the utter amazement that was clearly written on his face. “Yes, that is my castle.” She said, turning to it, then looking back over her shoulder added, “you want to see inside? That’s where the kitty is.”

Cayden clapped his hands eagerly. "Yeah! I haven't seen a castle in a really really really long time, and that one wasn't this nice! An' it didn't have kitties either! Do you have a dragon at your castle? I seen a dragon once." With each word he spoke, he moved his hands in an animated fashion, as if his mouth was telling one story and his hands another.

"I used to have a dragon," she said slightly distracted, "But then some stupid hero guy came and slew him." Violet started walking down the path towards the front gate. "Follow me, I'll give you a tore of all the main things you should see, then I'll show you your room."

Cayden nodded when Violet mentioned the hero. "Hero guys are very annoying. Keep trying to kill me! Meanies! I didn't do anything!" He paused, both listening and dredging up ancient memories, of people and places long gone. He apparently decided to stop thinking about such things, and instead grinned. "Okay!" Cayden agreed happily, half-walking, half-skipping after Violet, looking around at everything and occasionally gasping as his eyes filled with newfound delight at what he saw.

Violet nodded. "They can be quite tiresome." She singled to someone on top of the wall and the drawbridge lowered. Grinning, she turned back to Cayden. "What do you want to see first?"

Cayden gasped when he saw the drawbridge be lowered, then stopped, considering Violet's question. "Hmmm…. Everything! The ballroom and dinner place and if there are knights and horsies and the kitties and doggies and everything!" His grin stretched from ear to ear, and he spread his arms as far as they could go to emphasis the everything.

Violet smiled and continued walking. after they entered the main door, She turned to a servant. "Make ready a room for the one with me." She turned to Cayden "Do you want anything special in your room?"

"Like what?" Cayden asked, thinking hard and nearly tripping over his own feet. He caught himself just in time, and kept walking like nothing had happened.

Violet hid a smile. "what do you want most?" she asked

"Food!" Cayden's reply was immediate. "I'm hungry!" His stomach, as if in agreement, growled, much louder and deeper than should be possible, seeming to come from soemwhere far behind him

"Make it fun." Violet said to the servant. to Cayden she said "What's your most favoured food?" then started to walk down a well lit hall.

"Whales! An' french fries! An' mangoes! Fruits and whales and potato fries! But if you don't have whales I can have a shark!" He grins at the prospect of food, the dimple in his cheeks showing.

Violet opened a large door to reveal a huge dining room. "Whales? why would something as small as you eat a whale?"

Cayden gasps at the room, then grins again when he ehars Violet's question. "Because I'm not small! I'm really really very big! A big big big!"

"Oh are you?" Violet said. "But you look so small to me." she clapped three times, and a large whale landed on a table in the middle of the room.

Cayden gasps when the whale lands, then continues expanding on how big he is. "But I am very very big and so is-" Cayden stops mid-sentence, his expression turning from that of a happy child to that of an old man who's seen far too much sorrow and grief in his life. "I'm very very big because I'm a Megalodon! I'm big big like a… bigger than that whale! That's how big!" He continues hurriedly, trying to smile and ignore what he'd said.
