Please Lord watch over our home. Last night there was a tremendous storm which drove us all into shelter. The heavens opened up. Gales blew like none seen before in these parts. During the storm there was a tremendous clap of thunder followed by screams down by the dangerous rocks at the foot of the Villa. By the time we reached the spot all was silent and the clouds parted for the full moon. Before us lay the wreak of a sailing ship but one not seen before. It is the spirit of a ship crashed against our shores. And whoever was aboard has left ship or drowned at sea. But it is now empty. But there is a dreadful feeling of something on the island.
Since this sinister event many frightening visions have been seen on the island. Too hellish to be named. I have sent as many as I can of the citizens of Melioria aboard my ship the Fire Sprint and sent them toward the safety of the mainland.
The Villa sits empty of life decorated for the Danza Macabra today at 2:30 but I wonder who or what will attend.
Yawns!Goodness gracious, I fell asleep down in the spirit cellar, again! I know the Principe appreciates all the hard work I do keeping his most precious wine bottles free of dust and cobwebs. But it's so dark down here now, with the last candle starting to sputter out.What is that clanking outside the door? I wonder who could be awake in The Villa at this hour?
Methinks it's time to get out of that "spirit" cellar posthaste, CeCe!!
