It was a cloudy day, looked as if it might rain on the town square of Torona and it's cobble-stone streets, walls, and buildings. At a glance it would seem like a god-fearing society, but it holds it's own secrets... A lone figure walked across the square with a sad gait, arms tucked into his coat to keep warm on the relatively cool day. He walked towards the cathedral at the end of the square, climbing the steps of the holy place. A slimy creature crawled up the wall behind him, Torona's well-hidden denizens. The figure pulled open one of the large doors to the sounds of a funeral ceremony.
The man looked up and down the line the pews as he entered, bowing his head slightly in respects before continuing down the red carpet. He was a middle-aged man, late twenties, dark brown eyes and a fateful frown spread across his face. It was a sad day... Gerald took a seat at the inner end of a pew, crossing his fingers on his lap and watching as the ceremony played on, a mother and father's salute to going on to the after-life... A damn shame... Gerald thought to himself as he looked at the father's open coffin, the old man had single-handedly supported Torona's modest economy.
Gerald's eyes scanned across the pews to the other side and closest to the aisle, there was the daughter, poor soul. She had no idea what she was in for. No other relatives...
