The sky here is iron grey. From its dark clouds falls showers upon showers of rain. When it doesn't rain,the clouds stay thick so rarely sun reaches down to the sodden grass. Upon this bleak horizon stands a castle. Or what used to be one. A squat tower still exists and the reminder of a wall here and there but most of the rooms are reduced to knee height. Moss builds up its sides but it stands stoidly on, as though waiting for something, like an arrival.

At the bottom of the hill upon which the ruin stands is a dense fog. Within that fog is dark forest where wolves creep and the only birds are hunters. Through this fog many will come. The castle will open up and the children will bring a new life.

But something will be waiting for them in the fog. And the children will have to face more than they thought possible.

Add your character, describe their talent then join as the children fight the monster beyond the boundaries of the ruin. They have all been chosen because of their talents so make it good.

The tower will be a kind of shelter for the children to come. Remember that they have been drawn together for a purpose. They could have some special talent. They could be magical, or brave, or clever, or mysterious, anything you choose. They could be completely ordinary and have been thrown into this for some reason that they don't know at all. But as they arrive, something is building in the fog, and in the sky. They will have to be on their guard and be very very careful. I'll write up characters on here as they appear in the story.
