Lady Eliza stood at the top of a hill, looking down at her new home. It didn't look like much. "Well, it will have to do."

Golden eyes flashed as Harkin made his way though the uneven terrain of the lands between the two valleys.

Eliza clicked her tongue. "Bit boring." She looked up at the sky. "Not a cloud in sight." On her command, lightning flashed, and the sky went dark as night. "There we go. No rain, no rainbows, after all," Eliza said, admiring her quick work.

"That's...a bit unusual..." Harkin remarked at the skies. "Even for these parts. Now what could be happening here..."

Eliza looked around at the quickly flooding land. "All right, that's enough," she said, and the rain stopped, the skies returning to normal. "That should give the land something to think about."

"Mother Nature seems more than a little moody tonight..." Harkin muttered. "Must be that time of the month."

Eliza looked around at her little hill, and down towards her new home. "All right, spirits, tell me how I'm going to make a new life here. Here, of all places." Eliza had no family and no friends. She'd come here to build a new clan, but how she was supposed to do that, she had no idea.

"Hmm..." he mused spotting a strange looking demon on the hill side. "That's new..."

Lady Eliza caught sight of a red pony out the corner of her eye. How dare someone try to sneak up on her? She ordered the earth to create a tent around her to shield her from the stranger.

"Apparently Mother Nature's feeling a little blue today..." he said tilting his head at the structure. "Hey!" he shouted. "I know you're still there! Just because I can't see you doesn't mean you disappeared..."

The stranger was talking to her. Well, Eliza, you wanted an answer. You shouldn't ask a question if you don't want one. "What do you want?" Eliza shouted.

"What do I want?" he echoed. "The usual, wealth, power, my own little castle in Dream Valley, no,no - Nightmare Valley - they have cooler castles..."

The tent slipped back into the ground. "A castle?" she asked. She looked behind her, nodded to the earth, and summoned up a giant structure of stone. "You mean like that?"

"Hmph," Lady Eliza muttered. Spikier Spirals. The castle returned to the earth. Underground, however, she knew the castle was waiting for her. Her own secret world.
