Montebello Castle

Azzurrina: The Ghost of Montebello Castle

Born pale as candle wax, Azzurrina lived in a century that treated difference like a curse.

So her parents sealed her inside Montebello Castle, where even the servants lowered their voices.

A Name Made of Fear

Those hushed halls watched her mother rub dark dye through Azzurrina's white hair.

The color slipped away each time, and the stubborn blue tint gave her the name Azzurrina.

Two guards shadowed every step, their hands fixed near the iron keys.

On the summer solstice, thunder rolled around Montebello Castle, and the guards stood closer by her door.

Blue That Would Not Stay

The storm beat the windows as Azzurrina chased a rag ball across the cold passage.

One bad bounce sent it skittering down the stairs toward the underground icehouse.

She ran after it, and her scream cracked through the stone.

The Ball Rolls Down

When the guards reached the icehouse, the rag ball sat alone on the wet floor.

Azzurrina was gone, and Montebello Castle kept only dripping silence.

Every five years, when summer thunder returns, Montebello Castle answers with Azzurrina's laugh from below.
