STORY
"Wh... what is happening?" The grand seer thought aloud as a layer of peculiar dust floated in to the city. As the town hall clock struck midnight a strange glitter descended as a result of the magical wind drifting through the calm, sleeping city. The seer was on high alert, his hands clenched tightly around one another. Attendants already woken, they buried themselves in the libraries, researching and recording the phenomena. It wasn't until four hours afterwards however that a discovery was made.
"They're missing..." The grand seer murmured, flicking through the first book in one of many piles. True to his disciples' words, the Rumpelstiltskin book had changed, quite drastically in fact, as the riddler himself had vanished.
This was not good news for the city. "How many have we found so far?" He asked, sifting through the pile at the desk; "Ten, maybe more?" The king had to be warned, something fishy was happening in the Royal Capital.
The morning followed not long after, with little else being found. The seers were busy cataloging the missing characters, list after list forming with no real understanding. It wasn't until an urgent message arrived at the castle that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
"S-sir, this was engraved into the church bell!"
The royal seers, the King's most trusted and loyal servants, informed him of the coming darkness. Fearing for his own life, the King had sealed the gates to his kingdom as well as his castle; locking himself away with only his trusted swordsman and seers, all of whom had access to the castle.
"Rid my city of these evil pests! Whomever can save our city will be rewarded riches beyond their wildest dreams!" The King had commanded his people. However, not only the innocents had heard his plea. Gaining the King's trust was a prize that anyone would want - the power, the influence and the glory...
