Puppy Palace
#1 Halloween Fright
A Special.
High above, deep in the clouds, laid a mystical, hidden kingdom ruled by puppies of all kinds. In the center of this fascinating city was a grand palace made from copper, silver and gold. This castle was painted an elegant white, with large thin paw print windows scattered across the walls. The double triangular roofs were painted a bright, cheery red, with tons of puppy sentries patrolling the center. Way up on top, were the two flags of the current monarchs flapping in the gusting wind. Grand Steel-enforced bulletproof doors were the only way into the castle, and out, and patrolled day and night by more soldiers. Such a place could only be a speck of imagination in a humanâs mind, but actually existed.
Today was the day before Halloween, and everyone was making preparations for one of the most loved festivals in doggy history. It was also to be one of the most dangerous nights of the year, so the palace had doubled the guards. Tons of puppies strolled here and there on the streets, usually carrying cranberries or pumpkins or candy. Nobody here was allowed to trick-or-treat, so everyone usually had his or her own supply of candy to enjoy during this holiday. It seemed like a usual routine, but nobody would have thought that this would have been one of the scariest Halloweens ever, or else the king would have been even more wary of his safety. However, fate cannot be known or decided until it happens. That is a fact.
Since the palace was closed on the days around Halloween, the guards usually had nothing to do. They tried to pass the time by playing cards, practicing sword moves, chatting, anything as long as it wasnât against the rules. However, there still wasnât a time that the guards werenât bored on a holiday. This time was no difference. On guard currently were the fierce trio, Lieutenant Poppy, Sergeant Praw, and Private Plam. They had already worked together for a few years, so they knew how it was like. They had to be on guard all Halloween, so they were very well prepared for the endless boredom that was yet to come. The day slowly passed, with nothing happening as usual, and they decided to pack in for the night. During the evening, they always had one guard sleeping with the other two keeping watch. They knew that usually it was not needed, but to be paid well and to stay safe, one had to be prepared. After what seemed like a year, dawn finally broke out.

This castle was painted an elegant white, with large paw print windows scattered across the walls. The double triangular roofs were painted a bright, cheery red, with puppy sentries patrolling on the high walls in between. On top of the roof were the flags of the royal family flapping in the gusting wind. Grand steel re-enforced bulletproof doors were the only way into the castle, and out, and patrolled day and night by guards. This kind of place would only be seen in a fantasy, but it actually existed.
Today was the day before Howloween, and everyone was making preparations for one of the most loved festivals in doggy history. Tomorrow was also one of the most dangerous nights of the year, so the palace had doubled the usual number of guards. (Which wasnât many) Thousands of puppies strolled here and there on the streets, usually carrying bucket-loads of cranberries or pumpkins or candy. Nobody here was allowed to trick-or-treat due to safety reasons, so everybody usually had his or her own supply of candy to enjoy during this holiday. It seemed to be a usual holiday, but nobody would have thought that this would have been one of the creepiest Howloweens ever. Nothing would have prepared them for what was coming.
Since the palace was closed the few days before Howloween, the guards usually had nothing to do. They tried to pass the time by playing cards, practicing weapon moves, chatting, anything as long as it wasnât breaking the rules. On guard during Howloween was the fierce trio, Lieutenant Poppy, Sergeant Praw, and Private Plam. They were respected by their fellow warriors and feared by the enemy, but they didnât work too well together. They tried to spend the day playing âGo-wagâ, a famous doggy card game, but Sergeant Praw kept accusing Private Plam of cheating and the game was quickly stopped. Lieutenant Poppy also suggested a game of tag, but Sergeant Praw feared that Plam might start playing unfairly again.
âYouâre the one who plays unfairly by framing me!â groaned Plam.
Poppy quickly decided to change the subject. âSo, what are you two planning on doing tomorrow or the day after?â
Praw thought for a moment. âWell, we canât possibly all go to the marketplace together, since at least one of us have to stay guard here. I could try going down to the pumpkin shop and get a few things to decorate this entrance.â
Plam looked around at the dull, empty porch. âYou could be right. Iâll tag along with you then and maybe I might find something good that you missed!â
Praw batted the suggestion away. âIâd rather have a cat go with me!â
