The music plays, the people dance, and the household servants walk about, helping guests in every way imaginable. The guests of the celebration are elated, the ball to be one of the most extravagant of the decade, possibly the century. After all, the Nightheart family easily boasts throwing the best parties. Members of high society are gathered. Laughter fills the room. The succulent smells from a buffet table flood through the room. From the grand staircase descends the hostess, a young woman in her early twenties, possibly older. No one has ever been quite sure. A smile is upon her face as she joins the crowd, many pleased to see the young woman. Little had any of the guests noticed the dark clouds that began to slowly gather around the mansion and the surrounding area. Still, the revelry continues, none quite aware of what may be in store.
