Writing Prompts Week 13 *Castles*

 Week 13

Genre of the Week: Fantasy & Historical Fiction

How they work: Each week there is going to be a post completely dedicated to writing prompts. This will compliment the genre of the week, named every Saturday. Below three pictures are posted along with word prompts to go with them. Three options will be beneath each picture. All suggestions are welcome, and if you desire, please share your ideas. 

*Many of these prompts are geared toward the fantasy genre, however, I can see how they can be applied to historical fiction as well. There is also a great amount of potential for a fantasy and historical fiction hybrid.* 

1.) Trickling of water echoed through the trees. Finally, they had found it. The fountain of youth. 

2.) Emeralds trees ldd the way to a castle. Until now this building only lived in my dreams. 

3.) "My lady, why are you out in the gardens without your handmaids?" 

    "Do I need chaperones to walk around my own castle, dearest knight?" 

1.) Our enemies thought they could destroy us if our land was taken away. No, it was only just the beginning. 

2.) The only thing left of my kingdom was the castle, stricken by water and mermaids. Come visit us if you dare? 

3.) "Let me go," she said. 

    "Back to a castle where the damned increase by the day and angels fall victim?" 

    "Yes, for who is to save a court in shambles except for their princess?" 

1.) "Did you set the table correctly for our guest?" 

    "Yes sir, I'm sure the lady will be pleased." 

    "One could hope, she hasn't taken to me since our wedding. Please go fetch her and her sisters." 

     The butler could only nod and disappear around the corner. 

2.) "The castle is gorgeous," her voice echoed along the corridors. 

    "Wait until you taste the food my lady, some say it's magical." 

3.) "Chandeliers make a great weapon."

    "Do you always think about fighting? Can you not take in the beauty and accept the craftsmanship? 

    "When you've lived the life I have, you would be thinking about weaponry too."
