One year later…
It was one stormy night in Quesa. The thunderstorm was strangely powerful and the heart of it seemed to be centered over the Reigns Castle itself. Every time a crash of thunder sounded, the entire castle seemed to shake and vibrate. The doors and windows would rattle in their frames. The chandeliers would shake and the crystal pieces would clink against each other as the entire thing would sway a little from the ceiling. Even the furniture would lurch a little and joggle when the more powerful thunder crashes.
