Ah, this girl is dreaming.

Her sleeping face suddenly

shows discomfort.

I back away, going through

the door which is locked

from the outside.

The hallway is empty and

quiet.

I proceed to walk until I

come face to face with

a dark shadow.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"We have work to do."

It tells me.

"Yes we do. What's the

plan?"

I question the shadow.

The shadow leads

me to the mansion's

library.

On a reading table,

there's a red plain

book with the only

title called,

Cast the Die.

It's written in golden

letters.

I've read this book

before.

The shadow opens

the first page.

It's all blank though.
