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

Tristane drove this car out into the woods. Lucian and I sat at what he called back seat. It was like a modern carriage without horses and much faster. 


It was midmorning but inside the forest it was dimmer, the trees hovered tall and their leaves prevented the sun to pass through. 


I aided Lucian as we followed a path, I had the feeling I was here before. Tristane was walking ahead, he carried a satchel and refused to say what was inside. 


There was a clearing up ahead and he paused in-front of a peach tree. I stared at it. The roots and bark seemed familiar. It can't be! This the same tree Letecia had left me to die. 


"It's fine Claus, I can stand now." Lucian said to me. 


I simply nodded and stared at Tristane, he was touching the tree as if he was looking for a latch. His satchel lay untouched by his feet. 


"How big was the opening?" He asked Lucian. 


"Small, but enough for one person to pass through.."
