Who was in love with the man the most would be my guess.

@Zealz

Hmm... The visions appear every now and then... I bet... If we go to the basement where we lost the wisps... We'd see the whole picture.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Well, I believe we are trapped to figure out this problem. there is a barrier keeping us in. Not that I could maybe find a way to break it, but that might not help us.

@Zealz

Mmm, we found out a few things... We have the book... We have the rings... Now the question... Who is this spirit? My instincts tell me it's one of the two... But who would be struck with so much grief?

Our friend Mike's confession. On one hand, it's kinda romantic, but on the other, it's scummy.

@Meta

*I take the notebook and look through it myself*

Oooooh.... Laila and Eve... Hmmm... I- Damn... Eve doesn't even seem that bad of a woman. Maybe that's why she was so apprehensive before... She might've known...

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*breaks through the ground underneath me and rushes towards both of you*

@Zealz

*Baron bursts through several floors*

Well... What an entrance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Looks like it. In the meantime, I found this.
*Yanks the book from the abyss of fabric and riffles it open*

@Meta

What's that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Noted.
*keeps climbing up the walls in an animalistic way, resting up top and getting a better lay of the land*

@Zealz

*As you reach the top you find the lay of the whole town and the surrounding forests and hills*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Did you find the room you were looking for?

@Meta

*I show the other ring*

It's exactly the same... My my.... Michael has some explaining to do...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Hmm, so it’s mostly just us…
*notices the barrier and rips a chunk of the wall that I am on off*
Hope you don’t mind…
*hurls the piece of the wall at the barrier*

@Zealz

*The chunk bounces off of the barrier and hurtles to the ground*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Closes the book and latches it to an unseen mechanism hidden within the folds of my dress, and makes my way back out into the hall*

@Meta

*At the same time Veil and Noct come back from the Queen's chamber with the second ring*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Snatches the notebook from the bed and shimmies into a corner before opening it up*

@Meta

*When you open it up you find out its a journal of sorts. You stop on a particular entry*

"... I fell in love with her, despite having fallen in love with someone prior. But I cannot help myself, I am merely human. If only there was an easier way to tell her, but I confronted her by the lake where we first met. Oh Laila, I'm sorry - I'm sorry for being only one person. I'm sorry that I couldn't keep a leash on my heart." - Michael Evans, 21st of Summer, year 933

*Sneaks into the room and traces the patterns of the maps*
Huh...

@Meta

*As you trace the maps you notice a small notebook by the side of the bed.*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*stares then begins to sniff into the air, trying to catch a scent of anything out of ordinary*

@Zealz

*You don't smell anything out of the ordinary, just the smell of dust and ruin. However, as you look on you do notice a faint barrier around the castle.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Peeks into the rooms as I jaunt down the hall, sticking to shadows*

@Meta

*As you do you reach a peculiar room that looks different from the others. Decorated with banners and maps and trophies of conquest*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*walks outside and begins to climb the castle*

@Zealz

*As you climb you notice the shadows refusing to enter the castle. As if something was stopping them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Salutes*
Aye aye.
*Twirls to the left and vanishes into the shadows*

@Meta

*As she vanishes I continue down the hallway in search of the bedroom*
