Remove my last, I'm a soft messy pile. Remove my first, two may dangle, four you should use for a while. As large as a world, or small and whirled as well. What am I while I'm around, pray tell?

I surround the castle and everyone is to see for protecting the king castle is my only destiny

Bright in colour, loud in song Am I an island, or foreboder of deep down danger?

I hold your name and show your face, I help you travel place to place. Stamped or signed, I open doors, And let you roam to distant shores.

hollowed halls, looming spires holding ancient waters or flickering fires some see a trap, some a kind of thrill yet all know the feeling of awe i instill there’s beauty and danger within my walls of stone and never forget, i was your first home
