Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

In the hallway beyond the stairs there were several doors. The first we opened were double doors past several other doors. Dorothea and Velicia entered, while I stood in the hallway by the door. There were a lot of paintings all covered with cobweb and dust. Velicia used her magic to clean them off and suddenly it got very cold in the room. So cold that there were ice crystals forming on the walls and the paintings started to change. There were three on the right wall and five on the left. On the right there were paintings of two women and a man in the middle. Small name plates read Lorelei, Vorel and Cassandra. In the paintings their faces rotted away. Vorel turned into mold and burst out into the whole room. On the left the names were Cyralee, Traver and three children, Zeeva, Aldern and Sandeli. When those changed Traver's throat was cut and blood poured from the picture. Cyralee, a beautiful woman with red hair, looked like she got burnt and broke. Aldern turned into monster, but the girls didn't change. I suggested that perhaps that's what have happened to the people in the paintings.

Continuing on through the room and another set of double doors in the other end we entered the master bedroom. I noted a shaving kit with a very beautiful silver shaving knife, that I thought moved. I felt a massive feeling of loss, like I had just lost someone very close to me. I couldn't quite explain it as I've never had anyone to loose. I reached for the knife but Nathaniel had already taken it and was looking at it. I still wanted to hold it. Velicia got to look closely at it but not me.

Velicia somehow didn't like my curiosity and took me back out to the room with the paintings. As I didn't like that room I continued out into the corridor. Next we looked into the last room with double doors. In that room was a couch facing the sea with several large windows, but they were painted with scary pictures, blocking the view. There were also some instruments. I didn't like the windows so I left for the corridor. I walked left, from where we came, and stood outside a door. There was no one there and I hesitated and returned to the doorway to the music room. I didn't want to be alone. The others were finishing up fooling around with the instruments. Dorothea said I should check some other rooms so I returned to the door to the left.

I went back towards it when it suddenly felt like I had been there before. It felt very familiar. Nathaniel had followed me out into the corridor and kept an eye on me. As I opened the door I could hear a child crying. I entered and Nathaniel followed me. I realized that it was me crying and I knew that outside the room, further down the hallway, my parents were fighting. They weren't just screaming at each other but physically fighting each other trying to kill each other. I knew that whoever would win would come into the room and kill me too. I hid under my bed. I knew I was in my room. Then my father walked up to the bed and leaned down to look under it. He held a knife in one hand and reached in under the bed with the other trying to grab me. Suddenly I realized that it was Nathaniel holding his sword and grabbing my leg, pulling me out from under the bed. I could have sworn that it was my father, and I hardly remember what my father looked like. I was breathing heavily and had tears in my eyes. Nathaniel said I looked like I had seen a ghost. I stuttered some vague answer that I thought I heard people fighting in the corridor and got scared.

Dorothea joined us and looked at me stranger than normal. Then she told me to follow her and dragged me into that room with the paintings that I didn't like. She stood me against the left wall next to the paintings of the girls, and backed away. Velicia joined us, and Dorothea asked me
"What did you do when you were three years old?"
"I don't remember that. Do you remember what you did when you were three?" I answered.
The others seemed to think that I might look a little like an older version of Sandeli, but I protested by telling them
"But I'm from Magnimar."
