It's been ages since I last posted here...
     Anyway, here's the start of what I've been working on the entire time
I've been lurking.  (Really.)

     Long ago, the youngest of seven Saillunese princes had a small 
castle built for himself, his wife, and their young son in the most 
isolated area of the kingdom and named it Rose.
     It was a lovely castle, palace-like in many ways; the stonework was 
exquisitely carved, the floors were wonderfully laid tile or marble, the 
walls and ceiling were painted with the utmost care.  But the best 
feature was the stained glass windows, which were featured prominently 
throughout the entire estate.  The family of the Prince's wife were 
known as the best stained glass window makers in the kingdom and they 
had worked hard to produce the best windows imaginable.
     They moved into their new home on Midsummer Day, with the minimum 
of servants in accompaniment.
     By the dawn of the next Midsummer Day, the castle lay empty.  The 
prince and his wife had vanished, and all but one servant were dead; the 
surviving servant, a young girl who was working as a nursemaid, had fled 
with the baby.
     The nursemaid told a horrifying tale of nightmares, deaths, and 
mysterious disappearances...
