Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

    When the red-eyed girl awakened for the first time on her soft bed, she looked at the ceiling, feeling that everything she had experienced yesterday was so surreal.


    My great-grandfather crawled back from Hell, and it seems that his return was fully expected by Lord No-name. What exactly did the Shivas family go through? Why has there never been any mention of this in the family texts?


    Eventually feeling disheartened, she got up, jumped off the bed, walked to her own wardrobe, and changed into the clothes she had brought.


    Minnie is a special variant on the Wise Man Path; her Sequence is very unique and it's called the Stargazer.


    When Minnie was five, she had her first dream. In the dream, she danced with the elves under a gigantic tree.
