"Really, after killing a dragon, the thing they all do is have a vacation somewhere in the remote parts of Alaska?"
Logan Thackeray thought to himself.
"It's not like this is gonna be the Shining."
"So you don't say?"
A voice came out from the storm
"What now Boss?"
Logan responded to the voice that seemingly came out of nowhere.
"I'll be dammed if we have to play murder mystery in the cabin we rented."
Big Boss laughed to himself.
Destiny's Edge had decided to take a one week vacation away from Tyria and they had decided to bring their friend Big Boss and unfortunately for them, "Babysit" Prince Anduin (Who was missing his VERY close friend, the Black Prince Wrathion). After a one mile hike to the seemingly eight bedroom cabin they had rented from a person simply named "Erik", they entered the cabin foyer where they were promptly greeted by Big Boss' going by the alias of "Snake's" friend, Kazuhira "Kaz" Miller.
"Snake, and, oh, members of Destiny's Edge. Welcome to your vacation cabin that you have recently rented from Erik."
"Yes I can see that Kaz. No need for formalities."
Rytlock said, naturally speaking in his deep voice.
"But it is my job since I have taken a part-time job as a-"
"You don't want to make Rytlock angry right now, he's not really in a great mood right now."
Eir blurted out, interrupting Kaz.
"I heard that."
Rytlock retaliated.
The group was clearly agitated by the situation, feeling as if they were in a stereotypical horror movie. Anduin wasn't taking this too well as he was on a cell phone trying to talk to Wrathion or Li Li. Zojja and the others were looking inquisitively at the large and practically wobbly chandelier that looked like it would crash on the stairs at any moment. It was very large, even if it looked like the one from the Paris Opera House. Zojja was also disappointed that she couldn't bring her golem and that Rytlock couldn't even bring his sword that he had "rightfully" looted from Ascalon, Sohothin.
"So, may I take you to dinner?
Kaz asked the group, who had just settled into their surroundings.
"Whatever you say Kaz."
Snake responded as he got up from an elegant end chair situated from the door.
Caithe wasn't very talkative, since Eir and Zojja thought this vacation would work and that she didn't want to have any part of a pointless vacation. Anduin wasn't very talkative either since he was in a group chat with Wrathion, Li Li and Chen Stormstout (Who was monitoring every text the three sent to each other). He only used his headphones and was only wearing a dark blue t-shirt and black cargo shorts even though it was negative five degrees outside the cabin.
"Now you'll be meeting the person who actually hired me. So please, please don't mess up the dinner."
Kaz begged, nearly kneeling down on his knees in desperation.
"Greetings, my friends, I hope you have been accustomed to your settings."
An elderly man said, greeting them as they went down from a long hallway into the dinner room, which was also visually impressive.
"My name is Erwin, and you have met my intern, Kaz yes?"
Murmuring to themselves, Snake was the only one to raise his voice and politely say "yes". The guests sat next to each other, and Logan and Rytlock uncomfortably has to sit next to each other.
"Now then, dinner has been served, take what you'd like, and would anyone like a drink?"
The guests were quiet at first, taking turkey, pork, steak and whatever they could onto their plates, then Logan raised his voice and asked for whiskey, strange as he had never drank whiskey before.
"Same."
Rytlock added, trying not to make a scene right now.
"Same here."
Snake replied in response to Rytlock's statement.
"And make that two please."
Erwin politely nodded his head, as he went down into a cellar-like room to retrieve what his patrons had asked for. As the guests began to socialize even more, the elderly caretaker came back upstairs with two bottles of Canadian Whiskey, seemingly aged. The guests couldn't help but notice a strange weapon that looked nothing like a gun in his holster.
"Now then, I think its best that you all get to your rooms now. Kaz, if you would please lead the guests to their rooms?"
"Fine."
Kaz responded, in a dreaded mood.
"This certainly was something."
Logan claimed.
"Now if you would follow me your rooms."
"I hate this job."
The group went back through the hallway, and back up the staircase to another hallway that was directly on top of the bottom walkway. The hall was about twenty feet long and once it reached the back wall, it turned in a ninety degree angle to the right to reveal two more rooms and the caretaker's office. From Zojja's perspective, the layout of the mansion was complex in mind with many twists and turns everywhere. Unfortunately for some, Logan and Rytlock had to share a room, and even more unfortunate for Rytlock, the bed was too small for him, and he had to sleep on the floor, which in turn was extremely dusty. Kaz unfortunately had no room so he had decided to just sleep on a loveseat that was situated in between Snake's and Anduin's room near the caretaker's office. Caithe, Zojja, and Eir (In no particular order) slept in rooms along the hallway room. The guests began to fall asleep at around eleven o'clock, well except for Anduin who was thirsty for water. He only had a flashlight with him to go downstairs since it wasn't well lit. Erwin was also beginning to retire to the night, only for a small chandelier to fall on him and kill him.
"What the?"
Running back upstairs, dropping his glass of water on the stairs, he saw the dead body of Erwin, with many fragments of glass on his back, the gruesome image of Erwin's dead corpse had traumatized Anduin, sending shockwaves through his body.
"Oh my God!"
Anduin screamed in shock as he saw the body.
The scream was extremely loud, nearly sending Kaz falling to the floor because of the scream. Anduin woke everyone up, gathering everyone to the scene of the accident.
"What now?!"
Snake blurted out, clad in a midnight blue robe.
"Anduin please don't tell me."
"I swear I didn't do this, I was downstairs and I-"
"What now? I was tryin' to sleep here on a floor that was- Oh."
Rytlock interrupted Anduin and Eir's conversation.
"Great what now, murder mystery in Alaska?"
Just as Snake finished that line, the lights began to flicker and the ground began to tremble, softly. The group was visibly shocked by the event, with Logan and Rytlock hugging each other and Snake and Kaz thinking it was just an earthquake. Questioning the scene, Zojja promptly asked everyone to examine the cabin for clues. Unfortunately for all of them, the so-called "accidental death" was only the beginning of a nightmare. So, who murdered Erwin?
