The mystery of the flying castle
Setting:
Engulfed by an endless blue sky, a light tiny castle is surrounded by fluffy white clouds. Six strong yellow ropes carrying the building are attached to a huge balloon. Compared to the size of the sphere, the castle looks like a little toy, weighing nothing. All colors on the image are very harmonious - different shadows of blue, white and yellow naturally fit each other. The colors on the balloon are mostly various shadows of blue - dark blue, light blue, blue mixed with a little bit of green, and very dark blue, looking almost like black. The castle colors are mostly different shadows of blue as well, however, there is a little yellow on the walls, implying the sunlight. In comparison to such an abundance of colors on the building and on the balloon, the plain white clouds look too simplistic and dull. The windows on the castle are all different sizes - some are tiny, some are huge. All roofs are conical, and the three main ones that are the tallest have little windows on them.
Plot:
All of a sudden, a tremendous earthquake struck the peaceful lands of Alfheim. A castle standing on a steep hill almost bounced off the ground. The thick walls began cracking, causing panic among the castle workers. Running around the building and trying to look for a safe spot, the workers did not notice any change outside the windows. The shaking and cracking did not stop, but the cause of it was different - making loud creaking noises, the building was slowly going up into the sky. The only calm soul in the entire building was the lord himself - sitting on a wide soft armchair, he was looking at the changing landscape outside the wide windows in his office. The tall green trees shrank in size and looked like little bushes; the houses in the nearby village reminded the old man of a dollhouse he bought for his daughter. Soon, he could only see huge white clouds and an endless blue sky outside the windows.
Only after the building reached the sky and all the shaking stopped, the frightened workers noticed a change in the landscape. Shocked, they stood still and stared at the plain blue sky. A few moments later, the lord came out of his office and said: "Please take a seat, our journey will be long.". After these words, he told them a long story about the strange earthquake, about the huge balloon carrying them and about where exactly it is going to take them. Listening to this mysterious story, none of them noticed that the memories of their loved ones started fading away... Moments shared with those outside the castle were replaced with the episodes spent within the thick walls. By the time the flying castle landed in sunny lands of Crimea, not a single soul in the building remembered their past outside the building.
