				It was an overcast day with rain falling hard and thunder echoing in the distance every few minutes. Lightning flashing only rarely, though it was there. The castle stood high within the hills, surronded by an old stone fence and hedges here and there. The grass was healthy and green though the soil, now not much more then mud, had an eeiry blackness that seemed to bleed with each footstep. The castle walls were odd as well, carved from black stone like something out of a horror novel where men and women would step in but never come out. <br><br>The master stood at the front door, with the double doors open wide and pressing against the twin red rose bushes just to each side. He was a tall man with a muscular build even for a man of his size. Although everything from his body to his mere presence seemed powerful. He wore his brown hair short and an intensity within his deep green eyes was evident to anyone that looked at him. Being close to him always gave an aura of insignificance to a person and he often carried a powerful scent of roses and something else that could not be identified.

				Myu raised her arms over her head, linking her hands to rest on her neck, balancing her umbrella with her chin and sholder. She stood still in the rain, only for a moment. She needed to catch her breath. The climb was something that she was used to... but not with her own luggage in tow. Until now, her father had carried her bags for her. This was her first trip ever alone... and the first time that she had a job outside of the town she had grown up in. She smiled up at the sky, past her umbrella. She decided then and there, she would do her best to please her new master, so that she could send money back home to her family. She moved to pick her luggage up again, ready to finish the climb. The castle gates were only about a five minute walk away... along with both hers and her family's future.<br><br>She opened the gate, pressing against it with her back. It felt as though it hadn't been opened in some time. Her feet almost slipped from under her as she made her way down the rock path, and stared up at the castle. Her heart beat within her chest. It could have just been the climb.. but she felt that there was another reason. 'This place looks scary..' she thought to herself, yet she forced her feet to move, trying to find the door. A few feet away were two blooming rose bushes. Their beauty shown even in the rain. She moved to touch one of the buds, to pull her face to it and smell it. "Beautiful..." She had yet to see between them, nor spot the man on the porch.

				The sound of rain hitting the umbrella made him turn and he walked out toward the garden. "You must be Myu. Welcome to my home." he said in a deep voice before moving to the side and offering her entrance inside. "Wont you come in so we can discuss your employment and so you can see the grounds."

				Startled, the girl jumped a bit, allowing a small squeak of fear to escape her lips. <br><br>"I'm sorry!" She bowed quickly from the waist up, struggling to hold on to the umbrella. As she stood back up, she saw the doorway, open for her entrance. "Yes, M'Lord..."<br><br>She moved through the door, folding her umbrella and setting it in the holder next to the door. She waited for her eyes to adjust to the dimly lit interior, and for her new employer to tell her what to do.

				He waited for her to seem comfortable before extending his hand to shake hers. He had an overpowering presence, the kind that seemed to make entire rooms look at him and pay attention only to him. "Welcome to my home Myu. I am Rasputan Cherkolfski the owner of this estate but while you are here you may simply call me master." <br><br>He turned and walked past her to close the double doors so the rain would stay outside and then turned back to her as he walked forward. "Would you like a tour of the castle grounds before we sit down and discuss your employment?"

				She stood in awe of the man, her back crawling with both fear and amazement. His words seemed to hang in the air, by some magical spell. They captivated her, making her want to obey his every whim. That was a good thing, she reminded herself.. since he was her boss. <br><br>She was eager to learn both about the castle and her job, and was unable to choose for herself. After a moment of consideration, she smiled up at him. "Whatever you wish to do first, Master... or we could do both at once!" her violet eyes shining up to him in adoration.

				He gave a handsome smile as he walked over to her and put his hand on the small of her back. "Then lets begin our tour." he stated before leading her out into the courtyard. Instead of stones set everywhere they had been taken out and fresh earth and grass had been grown. A stone path lead toward the main entrance but all around them was a fertile garden with flowers, apple trees, bushes, and interesting works of art. "This is the courtyard. My private garden and where I tend to spend my time studying the books in the library."

				She was in awe at the beautifully maintained garden. Her eyes drifted from one plant to the other, admiring the colors and unique petals. <br><br>The statues and artwork that were scattered through the area also intrigued her, but she would wait to ask about each one's meaning until another day. She wondered if she was going to be able to take care of this room, or if this was her new Master's hobby.<br><br>She made note to ask about it later, if he did not cover it by the end of the tour.

				He leads her through the courtyard and into the main buildings first floor where an old stone throne stands. Part of it has been eroded over time but a great deal still remains. Many antiques and banners line the walls"This is the throne room, the one room that must be maintained above all others. We have guests arrive from time to time and this tends to be their first and most interesting stop."<br><br>He then takes her down the east wing, first to an old room with dozen's of bunks set up with footlockers at the foot of each bed. "This is the guards quarters. Another popular stop that must be maintained."<br><br>They move past there and to the end of the east wing that opens up into a chapel. The pew's have been removed but the alter and stained glass windows remain. "This is the chapel, the second most popular stop in the tours that happen here. It has a great deal of history and much of it bad."<br><br>He leads her out of the chapel and up to the second floor, the most decorated part of the castle. "These are our quarters. Mine are on the end and I have perpared a room for you as well. You may decorate it as you see fit and if you require anything just let me know. There room in the middle is the bathroom. It has open showers, a toilet, and I recently installed a hot tub as well. All of it indoor plumbing of course."<br><br>From there he leads her into his room, a beautiful spacious room with a king sized bed on one end, a balcony opening out to the back wall, a fully stocked kitchenette, a fireplace, and all manner of cushioned seating arranged around the fireplace for discussions. He took a seat on one of the couches and motioned to the other. "Please have a seat my dear. Lets discuss your employment."

				The rest of the tour seemed like a&nbsp; blur to her, being whisked from one elegant room to the next. Finally they ended up in his own chambers. She took a seat on the couch across from him and folded her hands in her lap. <br><br>"Yes, Please. Tell me what is expected from me."

				He took a small envelope from his jacket pocket and tossed it on the table for her. "You're job will be to clean and maintain the areas you were told about. There is also the library which I havnt shown you yet. I offer a large sum of money to start with ten percent raises every year you work here. If you are willing to I could also use a cook and would be willing to raise your monthly salary twenty percent for. Should you need supplies for anything just let me know and Ill see that they arrive within a weeks time...That envelope is an advance of your first months pay."

				"Am I expected to tend the plants as well?" She asked as she took the envelope, glancing inside. Her eyes widened at the sum of money that had been put in her hands. "Are you sure that this is the right amount?" Her mind reeled with the thought of being able to send most of this back to her family. They would be so proud of her... and grateful. She looked to her Master with a new level of adoration.

				He shook his head at her mention of the garden and his smile brightened as she saw the amount inside. "I have a gardener come in once a month for a few days to tend to the garden. He also brings supplies with him so you will not need to concern yourself with the courtyard or rose bushes unless you would like to tend to them." Then he motioned to the envelope with a smile "That is the correct amount for just a maid. Again if you are fine with cooking there will be a slight raise. I pay my employee's very well for their hard work."

				She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly through slightly pursed lips... then she smiled. "I'm absolutely fine with cooking, Master.. What would you like for dinner tonight, and I'll get working on it!" She was filled with joy now, her eyes showing it clearly. She eagerly looked at him, awaiting his answer.

				He smiled and tilted his head to the side, thinking about what was in the refridgerator and cupboards. "I believe there are some pork chops in the freezer. How about that, some steamed calloflower, and rice pilaf? You should find everything you need in the kitchenette."

				She smiled, standing to bow from the waist up, her hair hanging down in front of her face. He deserved a true bow, one that merited her respect to him.&nbsp; She then ran off quickly to the kitchette to prepare his food, practically jumping with energy. The meal was made with care, then arranged artfully on the plate. She then moved back to him, delivering his meal on a sliver dining platter.

				As she came back to the coach she saw that he had his nose buried in a book. Its title was in a language that she could not read or recognize but the book was extraordinarily thick with pages made of parchment and hand written. As he sensed her presence he looked up and gave her a smile, closing the book and setting it to the side before motioning to set everything on the table.

				Setting the serving platter on the table, she glanced at the book.&nbsp; "What are you reading, Master?" She asked, making sure that she looked at him rather than the cover of the book... trying her best to show that she would not be nosy if he didn't want to answer.

				He set the book to the side and took the plate and silverware, setting them on his lap as he looked up to her. "Please join me Myu." he stated in a welcoming tone as he cut the bone out of the pork chop. "Eschwald's occult sciences. Written in the sixteenth century by a german noble and only one of four copies left in the world."

				Myu smiled again, picking up her own plate and moving to sit beside him, smoothing her dull brown dress around her knees where it ended as she sat. "Occult sciences?" She inquired, looking towards him. "...like witchcraft?"

				He took a bite of the rice and looked up at her smiling handsomely as he tasted it. "This is very good Myu, Ill be looking forward to more wonderful meals like this." he stated before taking a piece of calloflower into his mouth as well. After chewing for a moment he looked over at the book. "There are a variety of subjects in it. Witchcraft is one but the one I am more interested in is alchemy. The process of transmuting an element into something else."

				She felt a blush seep into her cheeks at his kind words. She was not used to being praised by anyone. And by someone as attractive as him too!&nbsp; &nbsp;She took a moment to realize that she must have looked like some peasant, still dirty from her trip here.&nbsp; She took in the last few bites of her meal, pondering how to ask the next question. <br><br>"Master, isn't the study of this against the rules of the church? Aren't you scared that they will arrest you?" She conveyed her concern through her eyes, daring to meet his once more, taking in the beauty his striking emerald optics.

				He looked up and smiled warmly at her question shrugging for a moment. "My dear, at one time it was illegal to believe the world was round. At another it would have been illegal to create toilets, light bulbs, and other modern marvels. I believe that studying these books can give me insight into a science that was overlooked and can still be harnessed. If a metal could be transmuted whats to say carbondioxide couldnt be turned into oxegen without the need of plants? Visionaries often dont follow the normal lives that the church or others expect us to."

				"You're much more brave than I am.. Master." She blushed slightly, then stood, taking his dirty dishes into the kitchenette and washing them with her own. <br><br>"Would you mind if I went and cleaned up from the travel now, Master, or is there something else that you need me to assist you with this evening?" She inquired when she was done cleaning from the meal.

				He shook his head side to side for a moment before standing up and stretching. "Of course not my dear. Ill show you the bathroom and your personal room. I hope you will think of this place as your home and enjoy your stay within the castle's walls."

				The bathroom was a large, luxurious space, with a bathtub big enough to fit at least three full-grown adults. She drew a bath, soaking in the warm water, lounging back and enjoying the little time of relaxation before bed. She knew that she would have much to do the next day, and was looking forward to pleasing her master. After the water began to cool, she stood, allowing herself to begin to drip dry, then wrapped a towel around her naked form. She moved to the room that had been delegated to her, opening her suitcase to get out her white sleeping gown. <br><br>After getting dressed for bed, she braided her long brown hair down her back and looked in the mirror. The travel had burned her skin, even with the cloud-cover. Her cheeks were now a bright pink, a shocking contrast from the pale ivory that they normally were. Her lips had also gained a bit of color from the trip. Now the bright pink seemed to pop out from her mouth, accentuation the luscious lips that most ignored. <br><br>She moved to the bed, settling down with a book for a few pages of late-night reading, when she heard a strange noise that seemed to be down the hallway.

				After the noise the hallway was silent, lacking any type of sound from the wind blowing to the footsteps of the master in his own room. Likewise it was empty, or at least as far as she could tell. The darkness surronded her so completly that she couldnt see her hand in front of her face without light and even the lantern would only light a few feet around her giving her a small bubble of light and who knew what else lurking just outside of it.

				She could feel the dark looming in on her, almost like the light she held in her had was having to fight against it's veil. She wanted to know what happened, but she didn't have the ability to see anything outside the small glow of the lantern. She made her way down the hall, looking left and right, and whispered "Hello? Who's there?" <br><br>She never wanted to admit it, but the dark scared her more than anything in the light ever did. The dark was unknown, mysterious...&nbsp; enigmatic... terrifying. <br><br>She took a few more steps in the hall and turned towards an open door.

				Just as she reached for the door something darted past her, no bigger then a house cat but running past her feet and through the dim light far to fast to make out any detail in it. As she raised the lantern just ahead, half surronded in darkness was a small vase, knocked over from the stand it was placed on and laying on its side.

				Myu moved in the direction the 'thing' had went, holding her lamp out ahead of her, looking for anything that might tell why the vase was out of place. She stooped down to pick it up, then noticed a weird set of marks in the dust on the floor. She puts the vase back on the stand, then inspects the wall, looking at the marks, trying to figure out what had been there... After a few minutes, she leaned against the wall slightly baffled. As her back touched the wall, something happened. The wall began to slide out, following the path of the marks to come sliding out a bit and to the right. A hallway was revealed, with a set of stairs leading down a bit. <br><br>Myu raised the lantern, looking down into the omnious path. A chill of thrill mixed with a bit of terror slid up her back, but she took a step into the hall. Nothing happened to her... she was half-expecting something to jump out and eat her alive, but nothing happened. With a small boost of courage, she begain making her way down the stairs, which in the end led her to a small room, lit by a single torch. She looked around, and her heart sped up a little. <br><br>The room was like a science laboratory, but she didn't know that... she had never seen anything like it. There was only a table in the room... a workbench of sorts, with an array of glass vials and tubes, intertwining, bubbling, creating, destroying... working. A working chemistry set, or so it would seem to someone who had seen one before. And in the middle of it all, set at the end of the labyrinth of glass, was a vile slowly filling with a red liquid. As she noticed this, the sweet smell almost snuck up on her. Until this moment she had not noticed it.. but upon seeing the concoction, she subconciously had found the smell associated with it. <br><br>She took a step towards the table, wanting to investigate it closer, but found herself falling towards the ground. A fallen stool had caught her foot... she had been so distracted that she hadn't noticed it in the shadows of the room. Her arms caught her fall, but she scraped up her knee a little, along with straining the ankle that had managed to somehow get caught in the thing. <br><br>Tears sprang up to her eyes, and for a moment, she felt a sense of panic... She was suddenly aware that she shouldn't be there. She stood quickly, and turned to go back up the pathway... but it was too late now.

				As she turned around she suddenly saw the massive form of a humanoid silohette in the darkness standing at the entrance. Its presence overpowering and speaking of physical and mental might that few things could feel this powerful from just looking at it. Then she heard the familiar voice, the voice of her employer "Myu, I believe I already told you where your duties were so why are you in my laboratory?" he asked in a stern tone. <br><br>The light bounced slightly as he stepped down the few stairs and his body was illuminated from the torch and lanterns light yet his face always seemed hidden as if the darkness would not reveal the disapointment and annoyance on his face yet it was easily heard in his voice and seen in the way he stood.
