The Castle of Layobin

Courage Watercolor style

In the heart of Austria, young Abme finds a magical doll that leads to a thrilling adventure in the mysterious Leoben Palace. As a series of challenges unfold, courage becomes the key to overcoming fear and isolation.

Abme, a lonely girl with a love for clowns, arrives at the old Leoben Palace for Christmas. The palace, filled with mystery, is quiet and eerie. Abme discovers a magical doll named Harley in an abandoned house nearby. Harley whispers about a hidden treasure within the palace. Abme feels a mix of excitement and fear, knowing she must uncover the truth.

Abme shares her discovery with her cousins, but they are skeptical. Lucas, always cheerful, just giggles at the idea. Sofia is too busy with her phone, and Albert is wrapped up in his books. Abme feels a pang of disappointment. She realizes that finding the treasure might be a task she must embark on alone.

Abme faces her first real challenge: the palace is a maze of dark corridors. The doll, Harley, hints at clues hidden in the library. But the library door is locked, and she can't find the key. Abme feels a wave of frustration. She wonders if the treasure is just a silly dream.

Feeling defeated, Abme considers giving up on the treasure hunt. She sits quietly by a window, watching snowflakes dance in the night sky. The loneliness feels overwhelming. - Maybe this was a mistake, she whispers to Harley. The doll's silence seems to agree.

Just then, Peter, the palace's old caretaker, approaches with a knowing smile. - Sometimes, the key is in the least expected place, he says, handing her an ancient book. Inside, a map reveals the treasure's location. Abme's heart leaps with newfound hope and determination.

With Peter's guidance, Abme bravely navigates the palace's hidden tunnels. The final hurdle is a riddle that only her courage can solve. As the clock strikes midnight, Abme unlocks the treasure's chamber. Gold and jewels glisten, but the real treasure is Abme's newfound courage and friendship. - We did it, Harley! she exclaims, beaming with joy.
