Inside the walls of Darkmoor Manor, the revel had just begun. All
the windows were bright with flickering light, and through the
windows, casting reflective sparks from the glass and the colorful
silk of ladies hiding smiles behind their fans, the ball was the
perfect picture of the easy merriment of upper class living.
Accompanied by the swelling strings of a violin and the jaunty song
of a flute, the lords and ladies within the Manor danced a waltz
charming in its elegant intricacy, while the servants moved like
ghosts through the revelers, ensuring that a glass was never empty
and a plate was always full. And from the hillside, someone was
watching the waltz through the windows, and it seemed to her but a
pale reflection of the history to be found within those walls, a
ghostly shadow cast from an earlier and happier time, when music
still filled Darkmoor Manor and the sparkling laughter of long-dead
lords and ladies drifted freely through the courtyard and beyond.Now
instead of laughter, there was only a haunting song, rising above
the violins and the flutes, as the watcher sang. And when her song
was done, and all the flickering lamps seemed to cast shadows more
than light, and the waltz had ceased and the laughter had stopped,
she saw faces turning towards the window. She lifted her hand in a
ghostly salute to those who did not yet know what spirits had been
awakened, and a white rose fell from her fingertips, and was caught
briefly by the wind before it hit the ground.
*********************************************************************

In 1870 at a place known as Darkmoor Manor, near Cambridge, England,
a man named Dr. James Wellington lived with his daughter,
Christine. He was highly regarded in both his field and the upper
class. He was the host of many elaborate balls but the walls of
Darkmoor Manor also contained a dark secret. And it is this secret
that still haunts Darkmoor Manor and the land surrounding it to this
day. Now fifteen years later, the manor has been purchased by a
Baron Nathaniel Caldwell and history is threatening to repeat itself
once again.
