Underground Castle Novels & Stories

I ready myself to be let down, but he doesn't, and the impenetrable metal doors open wide without even a nudge. "......" Okay, so there is a palace within a palace? A sandy trail runs along well groomed gardens to stop at the doors of a castle without walls, made in striking reference to the one in the Underworld and showed hints of modern architecture. Not a soul greets us with its presence as we make way to the almost identical bedchambers and he places me down with a word on the neatly made bed.

Under this spectacular sight, it appeared just like an underground dragon city. The scarred man, who was following closely behind, also stood still. Looking at the scene in front of him, he opened his eyes wide for a moment. He almost couldn't believe his eyes, nor could he believe that there was such an underground city hidden under the Castle of the Heavenly Devil. They had been living in the basement all year round in order to avoid the war. Some of the basements were several meters deep. But in such an environment, there was such a super world underground, which simply overturned all his imaginations.

Haden "This way," Elias leads us down the stairs that slope into the basement of the castle in the west wing. This particular basement exists under the common bathrooms relegated to the castle staff, and it smells of mold, dampness, and various other odors related to a secluded, dark, underground place. We are careful not to slip on the mold and fungi that dominate the staircase. One flashlight brightens our way, and I have to spend some effort to keep myself from gagging because of the stench.

Large gargoyles covered the roof's edge, glaring down at them. The castle had been built from a slick black rock that was only mined in Udril. It gave the castle an even more ominous presence. A grim-faced servant waited for them near the front doors, clothed in heavy white furs. The carriage slid to a halt and their door was opened.

I guess that came with knowing each other for so many years. Laura looked down the hallway. “This way.” She hurried through the stone walls of the hallway, resembling a castle more than a modern Compound. Then I realized that the Compound may have been built over the remnants of an old castle that fell to ruin. “There’s a door on the other side of this hallway at the end that leads outside.” “Where does it open up?” Adan asked, looking into her eyes, searching for the truth. “Outside the castle,” she replied. “We’re now underground, but when we open that door, there’s a set of stairs that will lead us out.”

“But you have no control yet,” He said with a warning tone. I simply ignored him and made my way down the stairs towards the dungeon. My heels clacking against the stone ground. I wore a strapped, pale green maxi dress that was cut just above my ankles. I hear Cassius follow behind me. According to him, the dungeon is located at the very bottom of the castle and there are about six floors. The dungeon is hidden and no one knows about it except for the royal family and some few servants that guard the place.

I clutch my basket tightly and say a small prayer I know will go unanswered, and take one step forward and then another. Soon after I begin my explorations, I realize there are at least four different entrances to this cave system, and only one leads directly to and from the castle. Which, I deduce, means the original castle was built directly on top of the tunnels and channels made by an underground creek, which I sometimes have to carefully cross during my hours of exploration.

I questioned them. “Maybe a week’s ride from here if the weather permits. It’s in the city of Perch. The old destroyed Starling Castle had an undisturbed casemate and vaulted undercroft. We were able to enter them when we went into hiding. They are hidden under the castle’s rubble, making it an inconspicuous hideout. Only rebels know the way in or out. Many secret tunnels still lay beneath the castle and would be useful if we needed to escape,” commented Sam.

After a brief moment, he estimated that about three thousand people were living in the castle. Suddenly, he heard a miserable scream. His brows slightly furrowed. “What’s going on? Why are there shouts?” He carefully analyzed the sound. James frowned and murmured, “It’s from underground. There’s a secret underground basement in this castle.”

The castle looked empty. At least walking into it from the now ridiculously large exploded hole. Auri, King Uriel, Vale and I stepped over the rubble and the dead bodied of the witches to enter it. Everything was eerily quiet, as though no one had been in here at all. Had all the forces emptied out the different exits just now? Or were they lurking somewhere deeper? “The castle has an underground area as well, correct? If I saw the building plans correctly.” King Uriel looked at the three of us.
