The Castle

A ten-story-tall castle is directly in front of you. It looks abandoned, so you decide, why not? You slowly walk across the drawbridge, over a moat filled with... is that an octopus? Wait... that's not just one, that's a few. You nervously try to stay on the drawbridge so you don't fall in.

You reach the castle doors and heave them open. You don't expect what you find inside. A large throne is in the back of the castle, and on the walls on either side there appear to be hundreds of doors. You slowly walk back to the throne. Someone is sitting on it, you realize. A younger woman, probably around thirty, is sitting on the throne, asleep.

"I better get out of here," you whisper.

"Who goes there?" the Queen says, as she awakens.

"Oh, sorry, I was just passing through," you say.

"No one passes through the realm of the Queen!" she says.

"What?" you ask.

"This is my island, after all," she says. "You have foolishly stumbled upon this castle. You will not enjoy what comes next."

Knights from the walls that you did not previously notice come to life and grab both your arms.

"Now, take him away to face a horrible fate," the Queen says, smiling.

You struggle and thankfully escape from the Knights. You run towards the door, and try to force it open, but it is locked. What happens now?
