I ran. The sky was gloomy and a strong wind blew on the bushes. The clouds were gray and it seemed that it would soon be raining heavily. It was already late at night and I could feel the wind blowing at the back of my neck as I ran through the green fields. I did not know if they were chasing me or even knowing that I had managed to escape from the mansion, but the main thing that preoccupied me was that I had succeeded in the mission. I was able to get the coveted and mysterious thing that many people had already tried and failed to achieve for years.

I had already lost my sense of time and only knew that I had been running for a long time among the bushes and trees in the fields of the Black Mansion. I told myself I had to go on, but I had to rest for a few moments to regain some of my strength. I tried to convince myself that I had to keep moving and that there was no time to rest. But on second thought I concluded that nothing serious would happen if I just rested for a few moments.

I stopped. I gasped several times as I bent down and put my hands on my knees. I looked back and behind me stood the Black Manor. The mansion was very large. It had four pointed spires and, though called the Black Mansion, it would look more like a gray castle, however there was something a bit hideous and intimidate in its appearance. The fields of the manor spilled all over  and they stretched a few miles around.

There was a wide range of trees and shrubs in the fields; for example, about half a mile ago, I went through a whole field of watermelon trees. These are trees that grow very small watermelons that can be picked and then put them in the mouth and chew them for several hours without their taste coming out at all. There are several kinds of watermelons and each one has a taste that is unique to its. Before that I had seen bushes of thorny persimmons exploding and a grove of peach tins that did not stop spinning when I passed between them.

Now, where I stopped, the vegetation was thinner than before, and the only trees around me were banana trees of all kinds. There was the banana mulberry tree which has red bananas, and also the green banana tree. I looked over me and noticed that I had stopped by a tree with blue bananas. The bananas were pale blue like the sea and has dark blue dots. I realized that of course they were blue-spotted bananas. Despite all the variety of special and colorful fruits that were on the Manor, the gloomy weather, the place and the Black Mansion were alienated and the feeling of a little emptiness and depression.

I was only wearing a black shirt and I did not have a jacket or coat and so when the strong wind blew toward me I felt the cold beating at me. When I ran I could still stand this cold, but now that I was standing and resting I felt all the cold air begin to freeze my limbs. Now it was cold not only because it was already past midnight, but also because a storm was coming soon from the north. At least the only thing I could console myself with was that I was wearing long jeans and not short, so at least I did not freeze my feet.

I looked in front of meand saw that I was very close to the mansion wall. I'm only a few hundred meters from its. I have to proceed cautiously toward the side entrance of the wall, where there are few guards and I can pass it without much difficulty. As soon as I pass the wall I will meet Rey and Jordan. Or at least that was the plan.

I got most of my strength back and I keep running toward the wall. I slow my pace and notice a guard standing about a hundred yards from me. It is close to the wall. I approach him and hide behind a greenish bush. I raise my head above the bush and peer at the guard. I notice that the guard is looking at my area. I was a little nervous, but since it was late at night, it was very difficult or even impossible for the guard to notice my head emerging from the bush. There was a gun in the guard's belt. The guard turned and now I saw his back.

I pulled my knife out of my belt. It was a small but sharp knife that would do its job perfectly. I got up and walked toward the wall and the guard. I clung to the wall where even if the guard turned he could not see me in his field of vision. I was preparing to go out and attack the guard. I approached him slowly, quietly.

Suddenly a cold and slightly big hand clogged my mouth. The hand grabbed me and dragged me back. I was frightened and for a moment I did not understand what was going on. I looked back and saw a tall man with brown hair wearing a guard uniform.
