Prologue

In the daylight the floor was hoping for a cloud to cover it; however , at night the courtyard was gasping for light .

Morrigan and Hawthrone could hear scales tapping on the floor and hissing of a snake .

The courtyard was filled with darkness as dark as death .

The smell of fear hung around .

The trees looked like a hand trying to get hold of you .

In the daylight the birds sang songs of joy but as darkness came the squarks of eagles piercing people’s ears overcame you .

Death dune courtyard wasn’t a place you wanted to go .
