Prologue
The sound of rusting hinges could be heard from behind as Rowden stepped into the room. A chill wove itself through the air and into his body, making him shiver as gooseflesh popped up on his arms. The sound of dripping liquid and something dragging against the cobblestone floor could be heard in the room and felt like it was coming from all angles.
"Come out and fight, Dolthkine!" He yelled out into the still air, gripping his sword.
"Now, now, child. No need for such violence." Something yanked on the blade but Rowden held fast, "Do the Four Monarchs really think they can stop me with one pathetic little paladin!?" The voice rang off the stone walls and echoed painfully in the holy knight's ears. He suddenly felt something grasp his legs but he was too disoriented by the weird ringing in his ears that he couldn't stop the things grasping him from dragging him down and slamming him into the floor.
"You'll never escape this place, paladin, and before the end you'll renounce your soul from the Sky king and pledge it to the Shadow Prince."
"Never." Rowden rebuked through the pain and blood of where he hit his head. He could feel Dolthkine's minions pulling him into the darkness of the Court, but this was not the first time the darkness had imprisoned him and he got the feeling it would not be the last…
"It's not here! Anywhere!" He gripped a handful of auburn hair in frustration as he looked down at the papers. His eyes searched for the missing document but it was nowhere to be found amongst the trash.
"D...Do you need help...? I can help, you know..." The sudden sound of his best friend, Lexi, beside him made Railey jump slightly but he got past the nervous reaction quickly.
"The Court! It's not here anywhere!" Railey held up the yellowing papers to the black-haired boy's face. "They say that the Nevermoore Court that just opened was actually built twenty years ago, but look at this! There's no news on it ANYWHERE!" Lexi brushed his bangs out of his face and took the papers from Railey, shuffling through them.
"How strange. I mean... It is strange, right...?" Lexi nervously fixed his glasses, "The Nevermoore Court..."

Railey franticly riffled through the old yellowed newspapers scattered across his desk. "It's not here! Anywhere!" He gripped a handful of auburn hair in frustration as he looked down at the papers. His eyes searched for the missing document but it was nowhere to be found amongst the trash.
