The Tsuki Saga

The Eastern Tower

"This tower," Tsuki whispered, "Is half fallen down, and is also haunted. We avoid the tower during the night time, because of the spirits of my other siblings, some of them were very troubled." She shrugged, "I guess I was lucky." She gave an ironic little smile before taking them up to the second floor. It had obviously been deserted for some time, probably over twenty years. It was deep in dust, and full of creepy-crawlies. Looking up the stairwell, you could see the overcast sky, but the air was warm. Tsuki lead them through a small door into a small room. The room was painted a cheery yellow colour. "This was Leyenna's room. Unfortunately she was banished to live in the grounds by my father, as she was 'evil', though she proved to be the least of his worries." Before they could enquire further, Tsuki was heading back down the stairs. They followed in curious silence.

As they reached the ground floor, a strange wailing could be heard in the distance. Tsuki stopped suddenly and gasped. "No! Not again! No!" she turned to the five; her eyes were glowing a brilliant orange and black. "You must hide. This way, there is a safe room." She led them into the northern wing, lifted up a rug, and opened a trapdoor in the floor. She shepherded them down and explained to them how to lock the door. "Do not open the door to anyone, even me, unless they tell you this word." She handed them a piece of paper with 'Anarlentian' scrawled on it. She closed the door and they locked it behind her. They looked around the room.
