Diary entry 94: It is truly fascinating, this old bent key has been within the castle for uncounted years, not in the basement or anything, but hung above the main hearth, yet no one notices it's presence, it even had the date chiseled under it's form, not even a wandering eye, after everyone has gone to bed to rest, I sneaked through the darkened hallways to the main hall where the key hangs, I almost jumped after a rat ran past me, when a bat flew past a window, I swear it's shadow almost looked like a demon, I laugh at my stupidity, but in the end I was able to snag the key and go back to my room without being noticed, lets see if anyone notices it's disappearance. - Alber Kooning.
