Chapter 22: The Wizard King

As Cedric and Elena approached the castle gates, the sight that greeted them was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The castle stood tall and proud, its walls reaching high into the sky, with turrets and towers that seemed to scrape the heavens. The massive structure exuded an air of grandeur and ancient power, as if it had stood here for centuries, witnessing the ebb and flow of time.

The gates were made of solid iron, adorned with intricate patterns and symbols that hinted at the castle's rich history and magical heritage. As they drew closer, the gates creaked open slowly, as if welcoming them into its enigmatic embrace.

Massive stone statues of majestic creatures lined the pathway leading to the castle entrance. Gryphons, dragons, and other mythical beings seemed to come to life under the pale moonlight, their stoic gazes watching over the visitors with an air of solemnity.
