Dethan, City of Perpetual Darkness

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin rubbed Aquaria's hand to try and help her stay calm.

"What's the building look like?" Aquaria asked. "I could help you look for it..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I'm not sure," Garin replied. "But it's going to be old and ornate..."  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria pointed to an old, ornate Victorian mansion several houses down. "Like that one?" she asked.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"No... It would be bigger, I think," Garin replied and kept walking.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Do you want to ask someone?" Aquaria suggested. "Or...we could look for a group of beings with an appalling lack of heartbeats amongst them..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"No, I think..." Garin said. "I think that's it." He pointed.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria followed his hand to a huge ornate mansion on a hill. "Wow," she said in awe.
Sanvi looked too, and liked that place. It was a fitting haunt for vampires.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin lead them to the door. He went to open it, but it was locked.  

[marixe alcyone]

"How are we supposed to get in?" Aquaria asked. If the door was locked...she didn't want to think about the things that could have happened there.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I don't know," Garin said, looking around.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi stepped forward and knocked hard on the door.  

[Cecily D Aria]

The knock echoed back at them. No one answered.
"Who in the would-" Garin's voice cut off when he put his hand against the door. He jumped when he recieved a minor shock.
The lock clicked.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria stiffened beside Garin. She heard the lock click and prayed that it would be someone remotely friendly, rather than a hunter of a group of ravenous, bloodthirsty vampires.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin slowly turned the knobbed and pushed open the door, soundlessly.
The house seemed deserted.
