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?

Emma raised her hand and slapped her descendant. The sound was ear breaking. Tristane's face turned sideways, caught unprepared. 


"Shut your yodelling. There's nothing you can do anymore. She chose him not you!" 


After using his magic several times in one night, his body has gone limp. He laid his head against the tree where the passage appeared awhile ago. When he stared at it the trunk it was just an ordinary trunk, part of the tree and nothing magical at all. 


"She's gone. And even if you try to reopen the passage you can't. You're too weak, I've enclosed my own spell this time. They cannot reach out to anyone anymore."
