The only light on in Death Manor was the one in the library where Charon was sat at a large table surrounded by pile upon pile of books. They were on the floor, on the chairs, on the tables and stacked partially in the hallway, somewhere with a laptop was Charon reading and tapping at the laptop keyboard. She'd been like this now for days, she got up and made her umpteenth cup of tea, as she waited for the kettle to boil she rubbed her eyes and her mind began to wander.

She knew she had a visit to Castle Mortis to make and then her mind wandered to some vague recollection of some evil seed and a tree. She shook her head and yawned, what was now very obvious was she needed to make a stop at the castle first before she could formulate any solid plans.

Several days later Charon was well rested and dressed entirely in black from head to toe. She checked her watch, it was almost 1am, she smiled to herself and then there was a quiet pop as she disappeared.
