The taxi drops you off in front of a big, dark house. An iron gate fences in the yard. Despite this, the house isn't foreboding. The houses on either side of it are built in a similar style, but are less grand. The city sounds give this area a very different ambiance than the little town you've been used to the last few days.

You walk up to the gate and push an intercom buzzer. You're expected. A female voice asks you your name. "Melissa Parker from Hays and Lager." You reply. A buzzer and a click, and the gate swings open. You close it behind you.

You walk up to the house. A middle aged woman opens the door for you. "Welcome in. Baron von Furchstam is expecting you. Follow me please." She leads you through the house. It's old and grand, but well kept.

She knocks on a door. "Come in." flutters a weak voice. She opens it. A withered old man is seated at a huge oak desk.

"Walfreid von Furchstam?" you ask.

"Yes." he intones. You have found him at last! "So Carl left me that dread thing. I can't say it's an inheritance I would choose, but so be it."

You go over the papers with him. When everything is settled, he waves you out of the room. "I must rest now" he says. "My health isn't what it used to be."

You close the door behind you and turn around. A young man is sitting here. He motions you over. "So you're Grandfather's lawyer?" You explain that you're only delivering the inheritance. "I didn't know we owned a castle!" he exclaims.

"I've seen it," you reply. "It's not much."

"Still, that must be exciting! You must tell me all about it. I'm Traian." He extends his hand to you. "How long are you in town?"

"My flight leaves tomorrow." you reply. You introduce yourself.

"Well Melissa, you must let me show you around town this afternoon!"

You gladly accept Traian's offer. He is a charming man, and what better way to pass the time?
