Aaron was sitting in his room trying to think of a gift for Orwin; Orwin had done everything for Aaron; he was more of a father to Aaron than anyone. Aaron knew that this gift had to be special, something that Orwin would like, and in his price range.

Aaron was struggling to think of a gift; then he remembered something that Jaden had told him.

"During my first year, there were these guys called the Shadow Riders. One of them was a vampire that had a huge castle on the lake. Even though I beat her, some say that she still appears on the island every now and again."

"Vampires are usually old, and a castle usually means wealth. Maybe she'll have something cool." Aaron thought to himself. Aaron then began formulating a plan to actually get in to the castle; he didn't even know when it would appear, so his best option would be to bring everything that might be used to rob someone.

Aaron had been gathering everything that he would need a grappling hook, rope, a knife, and his duel disk and deck. Aaron didn't want to have to rob someone, but he wanted to do something nice for Orwin; Aaron went to the lake and sat under a tree waiting for something to happen.

It was midnight and nothing happened; Aaron waited another hour and was ready to call it quits when a fog appeared out of nowhere. Aaron looked around and all he could see was a large castle; Aaron felt like something about the castle appearing was weird, but he decided that it would be his only chance to try and find something for Orwin. Aaron looked around and saw a bridge leading to the front gate and he cautiously walked down it fearing an ambush. When Aaron got to the front of the castle, he pulled the grappling hook out of his bag and aimed for the window ledge; Aaron shattered the window and cursed under his breath, but he still managed to secure the hook. Aaron climbed the rope in to the castle; he found himself in a hallway with several doors that he opened and examined their contents. Aaron finally found a room that looked promising, and he began searching for something that Orwin might like. Aaron poked around a few shelves, and found a book with the insignia of a millennium item; Aaron flipped through a few pages of hieroglyphics and found that it was a tome of some sort. Aaron put the book in his bag and got ready to leave when he heard a noise.

"Didn't someone tell you that it's not nice to steal?" Aaron heard a feminine voice say.

"You must be Camula." Aaron said standing up and clutching his bag.

"Can you tell me why you have that tome in your bag?" Camula asked calmly.

"I needed a gift for my mentor, and I thought I would have a chance of finding it here." Aaron said removing the tome from his bag and walking over to Camula where he handed it to her.

"What about your parents? Why didn't you steal a gift for them while you were at it?" Camula asked curiously as she took the tome from Aaron.

"Why? They never did anything for me. They were too busy working to do anything meaningful for me. The only reason I'm here is because of Orwin. He is the only one who cared about me, and I owe him everything. Plus, I only take what I need." Aaron said with a twinge of anger in his eyes.

Camula saw the emotion in his eyes. "This Orwin is your mentor I presume?" Camula asked as Aaron nodded his head. "You seem like a nice boy, and I respect your principles. Tomorrow night we will duel, if you win you can have the tome."

"If I lose?" Aaron asked with a slight uneasy feeling.

"Do not worry. I won't take your soul. Now go home and rest. Your duel is tomorrow night, and I won't lose." Camula said smiling. Aaron left the castle, and as soon as he got to the shore the castle disappeared; Aaron went back to his dorm knowing that his duel would not be an easy win.

"Clearly this boy has had a rough patch." Camula thought to herself as she placed the tome back on the shelf and walked in to a room filled with magical relics. "I do need a child to carry on my vampire legacy. Perhaps this boy breaking in was a gift." Camula said to herself as she thumbed through a potion book until what she found what she was looking for.

She called one of her bats and whispered something to it before it flew off; Camula had to make some preparations for her duel tomorrow night.
