Outside the gates of Ria,high up in the sky is a creepy floating castle.Once in a while the castle comes down to set itself firmly on the surface.Its a midevil style black castle surrounded in black esence.The crows from Raven's Tree are instinctively drawn to this place.As you reach the doors of the castle you must push down a lever lowering the door.The castle inside looks like a queens palace,just....a little dusty.You know the usually cobwebs,rats,spiders,and maybe some other things.The castle is quite noticable from the Ria dorms.Its almost as big as Ria after all!
THE HALLWAYS
Inside there seems to be a never ending hallway,with traps set everywhere for intruders.Even getting to the main room on the first floor is a hastle.Trap doors,spike walls,mazes,and false enteries surround the coridors.Also.....there are RATS,and lots of them all over the place.
THE MAIN STAIRCASE
If you happen to make it out of the hallways you will come to the main room of the castle.In this room is mostly old furniture,rugs, and paintings.Leading upwards and then to the right and left are huge staircases.They will lead up to the second floor of the castle.Before you go up the stairs,....hidden in the frame of the right staircase is a secret passageway.Some say it leads to a wicken santuary hidden deep in the castle.Though.....the door is locked and no one to this day has found the key.Some say it is hidden in a priceless heirloom somewhere on the first floor.If you go towards your right and in a worn away door,you will find the dinning room.
THE DINNING ROOM
In the dinning room the floor is covered with dark red carpet.A huge painting covering the west side of the wall is a sad looking girl in all white.Some fell a bit dizzy in this room,especially for people who have spiritual abilities.In the middle of the room is a long table reaching from one end to the other.Around the table are some antique chairs with reds seats to match the carpet.The table is of a hard wood and has several candle holders near the center.The chairs are seated all around the table and one at the head and bottom of the table.If you back track to the main room again....
THE LIVING ROOM
When you get back to the main room go right away form the staircase.Another door just like the last will be awaiting you.In the room is a red circle rug in front of a fireplace.A bookcase or two and a sofa in front of the fireplace as well.A reading desk here and there ,candles,and strange books on creaking shelves.
THE SECOND FLOOR,EAST WING
Up the the right stair case is the huge library full of books on dark magic and elemental manipulation.The bookcases reach up to the ceiling ,which is about twelve feet tall.Once more.....the cases are filled with book after book after book.On the first bookcase is a rolling ladder to reach the higher places.Its also an easy way to get around the library.I mean this place is HUGE!Its about Ria's two courtyards put together.Its also just for fun,....rolling across the bookshelves with great speed.In the middle on the library is a cleared out space that has tables and chairs spread neatly about.A few papers with some writing on it may appear on some of the tables magically.The library is so big that it take up the east wing of the castle.
SECOND FLOOR,WEST WING
Going to the left of the staircase is another long hallway.With two doors one on one side of the hallway,and one on the other.The first one to your right is the ballroom.Its a white tiled floor ,with white curtains hanging form the six foot windows.Its just an empty room with a piano in the far corner.This room in particular is a very haunted part of the castle.They say the spirits of teenage girls wonder about this room,looking for their dance partner.
The door on left is an old bath room.Its has an english style tub about half the size of a high school basketball court.They say the waters of this tub come from the heavens and can cleanse the soul.Other than that there is a towel racks and some towels in a small closet.Also a sink and vanity by the towel rack.By the tub is a loose plank that is supossed to have a hidden stairway.
THE THIRD FLOOR
Mostly on the third floor are highly decorated bedrooms.Here in the rooms strange thing happen.People......have claimed to feel they are being watched...It is true that people with little confidence should not go past or to this floor.There are about siz rooms total,three on each side of the hallway.They all mostly look the same,a canopy drapping over each queen sized bed,a chair in the corner,and a vanity.Though one room is has a wardrobe with clothes that look brand new!People say a spirit came back from the dead and haunts this castle.
THE HIDDEN ROOM
This room so far has never been seen by anyone....Though people know of its existence for the spirits have left warning notes....,to keep outsiders away.....
(Well I worked for an hour I think......thinking of all this and typing it down.I hope you all enjoy it,.....Ive put my heart and soul into this thread so please take the time to read it all through.After all......you would have no idea where you were going!*laughs*There are other rooms that I havent added yet.Except that will come later..im saving it....)

As david watched the castle in the sky in silence,he felt a sudden urge to be back home.Looking both ways to see if anyone was coming he said a few words,its seemed to be in another language."Howlio na opiano."Then came a hirrible scretching sound as it looked like the castle was coming for the ground.It tall black figure gliding across the the air like a kite.The castle landed on the ground with a crash,and you could feel the vibration of the landing in your feet.He would leave the castle on ground for two days,and then he might go explore Ria some more.David's hair was grey and long.It laid across his shoulder in little layers,it was blowing in the wind as the castle shot to the ground.He was wearing his jacket with a lavender colored fuzz on it.It was a black leather jacket with black leather pants to match.His eyes were of a palest blue color as they shone on the sunlight.It was early morning and he was feeling good to be back home.The castle set on the ground let down its gates magically.David walked forward entering the gates with ease.
Once inside he found himself in the many booby trapped hallways.He just stood there and grinned as he placed his hand to the wall."Howlio utsu clinio."There was a small click as you could hear some things shifting around in the heart of the castle.David walked across the floor calmly as if the traps were never there.Only he knew the spells to contol the castle....Well I wouldnt say only one....,after all there was his assistant.David came to the main room and sat down on the staircase to rest.The hallways were really long and he had run most of the way.As he sat down on the spliting staircases,he looked around the room with a frown."Well I can see she hasnt done much cleaning since Ive been gone....."

Nioki stopped on the castle edge and jumped down from the ledge.She came to a huge gate and felt a little disapointed."How are we going to get up there?"She looked around and walked up to the gate.She put her hand to her heart trying to catch her breath after the flight there.She sat her hand on one of the bars to rest for a minute not really thinking of anything.Then ......her hand slipped and she fell righ through the bars of the gate!She was so small her frail body fit right through.She stood on the other end looking out at Zasz a little shocked."Oh my gosh Zasz! Now what?"She looked around and pulled a lever causing the gate to rise."Come on!It so cool in here!"Her voice echoed through the castle,ringing in her ears.

Zasz looked at her and smiled,
"good job..." Zasz walks through the gate, looking around him, a long hallway, a bland hallway...
"I have been here before, i know it, i feel a strange connection to this place" He looks around, all around, always watching behind him, keeping the gate in sight....
"This place is a dark and evil place, i know it..be careful Nioki, i dont want you getting hurt"

Nioki wasnt really listening as she ran down the dark hallway.The hallway was lit by a few candles here and there down the hall.Little did she know this long corridor was....booby trapped.Nioki nearly froze when knifes shot from the wall as she ran.She tried to run faster knowing if she stopped she would get killed.Then when she thought she had escaped a huge ax fell down wards....Instead of running she just stood there her eyes wide with horror.Looking up at what could be her demise......

Zasz sees all thats happening...he sees the axe falling towards nioki...he reacts instantly, diving towards her, tackling her to the ground, knocking her out of the way way...the axe hits the ground with tremondous force, nearly cracking it...
"Nioki, are you alright, are you hurt at all.." Zasz says in a frantic, his black wings covering them with a large feather shield....

Nioki had shut her eyes the moment all this happened,and in the process fainted.She lay there a moment and slowly opened her eyes to see Zasz over her.She sort of blushed feeling stupid for just standing there.I guess I was in shock.....I feel so stupid now.Now....he is going to say we have to leave....She tried to stand up as quickly as possible to show she was okay.When she was tackled to the ground she had gotten a nasty bruise on her leg.Though....she thought it was better then getting killed."Yeah Im fine!"She sort of laughed in a strange unsure way....
She started walking down the hall again making sure to stay close to Zasz.As she walked she could feel the ground below her feet sinking..She was freezing up again..,and then the floor diappeared as she started to fall through the hole.It was deep and dark,in the light you could see the glimmer of sharp spikes at the bottom.Nioki tried to pay attention and get her body to move...She then while falling down the hole,pushed back on the side of the square hole and pushed upward.Slinging herself out of the hole she did a full twisting layout,and came out safely on the other side.She stood looked across the wide gap back over and Zasz.She was so nervous she fell to her knees rying to trying to rest her body."T-that was......t-to.....c-close."She was panting for breath as she waited for Zasz to jump to the other side with her.

Zasz looked at her and shook his head...
"You have to be more careful.." He jumps the hole with no effort, standing next to her and looks at her with all seriousness...
"What up here can be so important as to put you in this danger Nioki...i dont want you getting hurt, and it seems that this hallway never ends and is just a giant trap, a giant hallway of traps and demise...." He lays a hand on her shoulder and gives her a small smile, even though he tries to be serious, he cant keep himself from smiling at her, espessially when shes scared or in pain, he wants to be strong for her.

Nioki looks up at him ashamed for getting in so much trouble."I dont know....something in here is telling me to search for it."She stands up holding her hand on top of his.All of a sudden her eyes went wide as she smiled."I got an idea!"Her hands start moving in a circluar motion over each other as the room started to get colder.In her hand formed a small snowball which got bigger and bigger.Soon it reached Nioki's knees,and she threw her had forward.The ball started rolling across the hallway,as you could hear a few clicks here and there.Out of the wall knifes and axes sprang out.At this instant Nioki's eyes glowed a bright blue as she thrusted her hands foward.The hallway froze over with ice.Filling up all the holes with ice and stopping teh weapons in their tracks.Nioki chuckled and laughed happily."See I told you....no sweat!"

"In this cold, sweat is the least of a persons worries..." Zasz can only give her a faint smile because of her enginuity, he is proud of her, he never would have thought of something like that...but then again, thats why she is the one guiding him through this hell hole...
"Alright, lets get going..." Zasz reached down to his waist, ready to grab his still gone blade, he misses it so, he wants to hold the hilt, feel its power flowing through him so strong, wants it to comfort him, have it tell him that he can always protect Nioki....all he has is his dagger...which is almost worthless here....

Nioki was being so boastful that she forgot about the ice all over the ground.As she took a step forward she slipped falling on her butt onto the ice.Then just like that starting sliding down the icey hallway at a high speed.She shreaked as she seemed to go faster and faster down the never ending hallway.Zasz........was far behind her as she looked back,only to see him fading away behind her."Zasz!".......Then she could see a small light in front of her after gliding along for a few minutes.Nioki sniffled and closed her eyes wondering how long it would last.Before she knew it the ice disappeared as she rolled across a well waxed floor.She screamed and bumped into the staircase across the room knocking her out....

Zasz sees her hit the wall....his eyes gleam red....his wings spread as he dives towards her, his wings collecting the wind and he lifts up and glides towards her, flapping once in a while to stay in the air...granted, flying in a hallway was one of the hardest places he has ever had to, but he manages..he lands next to Nioki....worried...he has never been so worried before, he kneels down before her...laying a hand on her cheek, she aws cold, probably from the ice, he lifts her into his arms, wrapping his wings around her....
"Dont worry Nioki, you will be alright...i know you will"

Nioki opened her eyes not being hurt that bad.She looked up to see Zasz with his wings rapped around her body.She was a little bit cold form teh room being froze over and smiled."Im....okay Zasz....just took a bump to the head thats all."She stood up looking around the room where there was the huge main staircase.She smiled jumping up and down,"Yay Zasz we made it out of the hallway!"She ran around looking at the palace like castle.The place was so big.....you could get lost in minutes."Look at it its beautiful!"She was pointing to a crystal chandleier that hung on the ceiling in the middle of the room.It gave off a faint glow giving the room a warm feeling.

Sansuke opened his eyes slowly, briefly rubbing at them afterwords. His mind took forever to catch up to him. All of his memories for the past year seemed to have been erased and now he found himself puzzled. The castle in all its ominous majesty had attracted him. Maybe it was the scythe leading the young man, after all it was becoming aware. Cursed scythes, fires, hails of light...you really have a knack for attracting wierd things.
