Prologue

Everleason museum, Everleason CBD, June 11th, 2006*, 13:11 A.M

*June 11th, 2006, in Australia

It was quite silent within the room which held all manner of gems and rocks. There were statues made from igneous stones in the darker parts of the room. The only light was the dim light of a half-full moon. Someone was in the room, he hid behind one of the brown curtains, but you wouldn’t know they were brown because it was all but pitch black in the room. The unknown person wasn’t Percy Flank, as he was just wandering into the room.

Percy was the current night guard on duty for this fateful night. He had his torch in hand and checked the exhibits to make sure that everything was still there.
