The Devil’s Contract
I looked closer and realized the only flowers that grew were roses, but I didn’t bother to ask why.
There was a small gate ahead of us, and after we walked through it, I saw that we were at the entrance which had a grand water fountain situated in the center of the courtyard, with a winged angel-like statue rising from the depth of the water.
We finally made it to the door which was over seven feet tall, and when it was opened, the interior was just as impressive as the exterior, with the high ceilings adorned with intricate frescoes, crystal chandeliers, walls lined with oak paneling, and smooth marble floors.
