I am amazed by the beautiful decor of the palace, I could not imagine living in such finery, and my mind wanders to those whom called it their home.

I stare up at a particularly beautiful crystal chandelier, gazing into the crystal globe. I feel that if I look close enough, I can even see people reflected back, royalty in elegant clothing and old furniture with exquisite trim. The harder I stare, the clearer the figures appear, until I feel like I am in the crystal with them, moving about them in a large room. I hear music playing, old minuets by a string musician with piano accompaniment. I sense danger, and I wonder what is happening here, what are they doing in this room...

"Miss Baket?"

"Eek!" I shriek, nearly losing my balance and falling! "I seem to have been quite taken away..." I shake, a cold chill running across my skin as I turn away from the crystal to return to the tour group.
