The Ivory Tower is a tale from my childhood.
It’s all about a tower that reaches the heavens.
Wary travellers often avoid this big tower.
Rumours suggest a villain lives in this place.
Sara, an explorer, wants to brave the tower.
Yet, there are people that warn her not to.
Sara somehow finds a way into this tower.
She calls out for someone as she climbs up.
Reaching the top, she finds a skeleton.
It turns out that the villain died years ago.
The people of the land did not need to fear.
Sadly, the girl regrets not meeting the villain.
