"There have always been three castles; Vampiria, Fright, and Hope. All three have been around since this land was created. In Vampiria, there were four rulers: Syrial, Mala, Nekko, and Alrept. Three of which died with no children. Syrial had three daughters who were married off to the other two Castles. His pride was his third daughter, the heir of Vampiria. Alyss was the sweetest, youngest and quietest of the trio. Her husband was the Prince of Fright Castle. They fell in love shortly before the wedding and were happy to be so lucky. She had three beautiful baby boys. Her oldest sister, Joy, was sour, vain, and nasty. She constantly complained and was never happy with her husband, Joseph. They had a daughter and a son. Syras and Kali were inseperable. When Kali died, Syras vowed revenge against her older sister and protection to her youngest. They never seemed to get along much..." Syrial took a deep breath, adjusting himself.
"Castle Vampiria has been a safe haven for any who so seek protection from the ever-present wrath of Syras. She left her castle to consume all the lands and castles around her. In the war between Hope and Fright, Hope was the first to fall, named after its' creator: Hope Reas. Vampiria the last. Or so the legend goes. There were supposedly three heirs who would step foward when all hope had been lost but many of us stopped believing the story and it became burried. After a few centuries, not more than a handful knew the real location to the castles..." He sighed, his mother had been strict with him keeping every detail but he decided Crimson should figure some things out on his own. "Thus the Castle Vampiria stands before you now, a heap of debris and cobwebs. Nothing but grahnem."
