Penthurst Manor had not been occupied for a very long time. Stories about the previous Baron circulated all around. Some say he sold his soul to the devil, while others said he became the devil himself and still walked the earth.

Archeologist Patrick Neville had been drawn to the said stories. For almost 9 years he dedicated himself to solve the Baron's disappearance. Following a torn journal, he unearthed the Baron's residence.

Kristania 'Krista' Vinna Neville was jumping between her Mom's place in Ovido Heights and back to her Dad's mansion in Richmond. Ever since the divorce she had been constantly patronizing her mom's hysterics while her Dad travelled the world. She'd heard of the story about the Baron Lucian and had actually grown a tendré towards the man. No one knew that the man visited her in her dreams. She had contented herself meeting Lucian at night, however, the Baron had grown bolder and seductive. Can she resist his charm and solve his mystery?

The Baron and his Lady

 As soon as I walked through the passage I could no longer hear anything. Its as if the forest just dropped dead. Not even the slightest scruffle can be heard. 


I looked around and saw a series of endless bridges everywhere. Some entwined with the others connecting like a web. And when I peeked below there was another series of bridges leading somewhere. 


Suprisingly it looked like I wasn't inside a tree. I was expecting I would be hurled to a narrow space and remained trapped forever. But this! This was totally nuts! It looked like a fantasy setting. The bridges were made of very thick vines where tiny leaves grew on some with small flowers blooming. Above was a cloudless sky and the sun shone brightly while a soft beeeze blew around. 


Its not so bad, perhaps I can learn to live this place. All I had to lose was my life.
