Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.- Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
"What the hell was that?" I hear Ludwig ask, in a whisper as he turns around to face the top of my stairs.
"I...I don't know." I answer quitely as I try to gather my nerves.
First, Ludwig finds that cursed red book with it's yellowed pages, form the manison. And now something has invaded my home. Could it be just a large bird or worse a Steve?
"What should we do?" Ludwig whispers as he looks over his shoulders at me.
"I..I don't know." I say quietly again as I step back,. So much for being brave.
We then hear the sound of sharp claws on my wooden floor.
In a hush tone, Ludwig says "I think it headed to the kitchen. I'm going to see if I can get a look at it."
Before what my friend had said registers, Ludwig is already down the stairs. With my heart pounding like a bass drum in my chest, I quitely run to the top of the stairs and look down into the darkness filling the first floor of my house.

Silently as I can, I step off the last step of the staircase and onto the wooden floor. As I sneak across the floor I enter the living room, where I see the destroyed window, its white curtains blowing gracefully in the cold evening wind. Broken pieces of glass sparkle with the light from the street litter the floor.
Hearing the sound of a steel pot fall to the floor, I quitely tip toe to the closed kitchen door. Pushing it open, just enough to look in, I see three creatures gathered in front of Feliciano's stove. Pulling away from the door, I quickly head back up stairs, where a panic stricken Feliciano waits for me.
"Ludwig!" Feliciano says happily when he sees me, tears starting to form in his eyes.
"I'm okay, Feliciano." I say as I embrace him in a hug.
"So what did you see?" he asks in a mumbled voice as he speaks into my shoulder.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
"Well... what I saw was humanoid in appearance...They had grey-colored shin, with arms longer than their legs. Their heads were large and lacked ears,...but what got to me was the large opaque black eyes that seem to lack an iris or pupil.
Hearing this causes my friend to pull away from me. Looking at his face I can see the fear in his eyes. "Did they see you?"
"No, but I can't be one hundred percent sure."
"That's okay." he responds before taking a quick look down the stairs. "We need to leave and soon."
"Should I gather some clothes?"
"Yes, I don't know how long we will be gone."
Watching Feliciano walk into his room, I then walk into my room. I then quickly pull on my shoes before gathering my few outfits and stuff them into a bag. I then walk back to Feliciano's room. As I walk down the hall, I notice the red book is still laying on the floor. Even though Feliciano has shown a great hatred to it, I for some reason I dislike the idea of a book laying on the floor like that. Picking it up, I step into Feliciano's room.

Grabbing some clothes, I quickly shove them into a bag before grabbing my cell phone. As I pull up my brother's number, I hear my door open and Ludwig walks in. Hitting the call button, I try to contact Romano , but all I get is a dial tone.
"I'm ready." says Ludwig.
"Good, because it looks like we are on our own." I respond.
"I understand, but how are going to escape? I might have been able to get a look at our intruder but I don't think together we will be able to pass them."
"Well, the back room on this floor has a window that we could reach the drain pipe. We could use it to get down to the street. From there we could get some help."
"Sounds like a plan." Ludwig responds with a nod.
Just then we hear a door downstairs slam open, followed by the sound of clawed feet on the wooden floor.
"They're coming!" I say in a state of panic.

As fast as I can I move to the bedroom door. I barely get it locked before one of those creatures slam into the door. How they know where we are makes me afraid.
Pushing against the door when I feel another slam against it, I look at Feliciano, who is trying to make a rope out of the bed sheets. "What the hell are those things and what do they want with us?"
"They're Steves!" Feliciano answers. I can see the fear in his eyes even though he continues his task.
"Steves?" I ask in confusion.
"Little over a year ago, some friends my brother and I ended up in a haunted manison. The place was full of these monsters, that we later dub Steve. The Steves chased and attacked us through out our entrapment. They are..."
Noticing the tears on Feliciano's face, I wanted to comfort him but another slam on the door keeps me in place, so I say "What happened?'
"The Steves are the cause of the death of my best friend."
Hearing this causes images to flash in front of my eyes. Some contain images of a manison surrounded by dead trees, to a blood covered Feliciano in a bed, to a black pillar slowly increasing in size. There is also an image of Feliciano and me sitting around a table with other people, I assume they are the friends that Feliciano mentioned. For some reason though the silver hair person stands out the most.
Feeling another slam and the sound of wood cracking I am pulled from my thoughts. They are going to get in. Knowing this I scan the room looking for a weapon or something to use like a weapon, but I come up with nothing but the bedposts.
Suddenly, I am thrown across the room as the bedroom door explodes. Looking up from my place against the bed, where I had landed, I see the creatures trying to force their way into the room at the same time.
"Feliciano! Get out of here!" I yell as I quickly jump to my feet but Feliciano is in such a scared state that he just remains frozen. Seeing this makes me realize that I am going to have to protect him.
Grabbing one of the bedposts to Feliciano's bed, I rip it off before swinging at the first Steve to enter the room. Getting in between the Steves and Feliciano. Sending another Steve flying back to the door, I call out to my friend again, "Feliciano! Snap out of it! You need to get out of here!"
Sadly one of the Steves makes it past me. As it reaches out its clawed hand, Feliciano lets out a scream and falls onto the bed.
"Get away from me!" I hear Feliciano scream.
"NO! Not again!" I cry out for some reason as the Steve climbs onto the bed as it follows Feliciano.
Dropping the bedpost, I grab the Steve and pull it away from my friend. Unfortunately for me the creature rotates in my arms before it digs its black claws into my shoulders.
"Ludwig!" Feliciano calls out to me when he sees the blood the monster draws from me.
A bright light then comes from the middle bed, around where Feliciano's left hand rests. This is followed by the sounds of pages turning.

Looking down at my left hand I can see that the cursed red book, how did it even get into my bed yet alone my bed, has opened to a random page.
"ThE BoOkKeEpEr! We FoUnD HiM!" I hear one of the Steves calls out but I am to busy focusing on the words appearing on the page:
Take up this sword
That I give to you
And fight for what
Is important to you
Wither it be a
Place or a person.
Fight!
And never give up!
A bright light then starts to fill the room. Looking up from the book, I see a bright white light forming in Ludwig's hands. Ludwig just looks at his hands for a few seconds before moving his hands in a clapping motion.

When I bring the energy that is forming in my hands together most of the power moves upward and a little moves downward. This causes the light, the energy gives off, to become brighter, which causes the Steves to jump and freeze in place.
The energy then slowly starts to take form and start to solidly. I quickly recognize the shape, it is a sword.
The sword has a circle pommel with a black cross outline in silver, in the middle of it. The grip of my weapon have a vine like weave with two circles: one containing the same cross from the pommel and the other circle has an bear, that is on its hind legs, in it. The guard continues with the vine like weave with a large circle in the middle with a eagle in it. On the left end of the guard is a shield shape with a star surrounded by branches from a tree and a ribbon at the base. On the right end of the guard is another shield shape with what looks like two people holding another smaller shield. The blade has a black vine like weave with the weave wrapping around two black crosses (like the one in the pommel.)
The surprise of the appearance of my sword only lasts for a few seconds before one of the Steves (the one that I assume when through the window first) starts to make hissing noise. The Steve then launches itself at me. Swinging the blade, like I have always wield it, I succeed at slicing the monster across the chest. This causes the other two monsters to attack me. In return I kick one, the window glass cut one, in the chest way and somehow stab the other one in one of its black eyes. Swinging my sword at the three monsters again and again, not caring if I hit them or not I slow drive them from Feliciano.
"Feliciano!" I shout over the snarls and hisses of the Steves. "Get out of here!"
Hearing my demand Feliciano moved from his bed to the bedroom door. "What about you?"
"I'll be right behind you."
Watching the Steves with one eye, I watch my friend leave the room. Slicing at the Steves a few more times, I then quickly leave the room. Slamming the door hard as I could so it would be enough to jam it, in hopes to slow down the monsters in the bedroom. I then call out for my friend, "Feliciano?! Where are you?!"
"I'm in here!" I hear Feliciano yell. Turning to the source of my friends voice, I see that it is coming from a room at the end of the hall. I then run to the door and open it.

Seeing my friend, Ludwig, enter, sword in hand, into the room unharmed brings a slight relief to me. The sword must have been as much as a shock to the Steves as it was to my German friend and me.
"Thank God you are okay." I say as I embrace Ludwig.
"Same here." he says as he returns the embrace with his free arm. "So how are we going to escape now?"
Pulling from the hug, even though I do not want to leave the safe feeling that Ludwig's arms bring me, I move to the far wall of the room that contains a window. "Well, there is a drainpipe just outside this window. We could use it to climb down to the street. From there we could go somewhere safe."
Walking over to the window, Ludwig looks out of it to exam the drainpipe, I was talking about. "I am not sure if it will hold our combine weight but it will have to do. We don't have much time."
Hearing this makes me notice how serious Ludwig has become, taking control of the situation and protecting me, exactly like Germany.

Slamming against the wooden bedroom the Steve, with the wound on its chest, failed at breaking it down.
"ThIs Is NoT wOrKiNg!" the window glass cut Steve hissed at the other two.
"I kNoW!" answered the Steve with the missing eye.
"ThEy ArE gOiNg To GeT aWaY!"
"I kNoW!"
"So WhAt Do We Do? MaStEr Is NoT gOiNg To LiKe ThIs!"
Before the opened wound (on the chest) Steve could tell the others to "ShUt Up!", the door blew off its hinges and the three Steves scampered back in fear.

Forcing open the window open, for it had not been opened in years, I look at the ground hoping to see wither or not anymore Steves. Lucky for us I did not see anything of those monsters moving around below.
Swinging one leg over the window ledge, I try to reach for the drainpipe. Pulling back for a bit because I did not want to slip because of all the rain, I try again.
"Be careful." I hear Ludwig say as I lean even further out the window.
"Don't worry." I said trying to reinsure him.
It does not seem to work because the room door jumps as something slams against it.
Not waiting for it to happen again Ludwig presses himself against the door, try to support it.
"Ludwig?" I call out in a panic.
"Don't worry about me!" Ludwig yells as he embraces the door against another slam. "Just get out of here!"
"But!"
"I said don't worry about me! I got the sword now!"
Just then the door is blown off its hinges...

I am throw with so much force, from when the door is blown off its hinges, that I land by the window. Feliciano is quick to be at my side but that does not stop me from look at the person in the doorway.
The man appears to be around two meters tall (a little over six feet and six inches) with extremely long, slender arms and legs. Four black tentacles seem to protrude from its back at different lengths. The man is wearing what appears to be a black suit.
As the man reaches into the room darkness seem to craw out from behind him and slowly flood the room in blackness. The man then reaches out towards Feliciano and me but before I could react a golden eagle fly through Feliciano's open window and at the man.
A bright silvery light fills my vision...

When I come to I can hear water falling from leaves of trees, the smell of wet grass and damp earth. Somehow Feliciano and I have been transported to a forest.
Inevitably they find their way into the forest. It is there that they lose and find themselves. It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done. The forest always large, immense, great and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest posses the power to change lives and alter destinies.-Jack Zipes, The Brothers Grimm: From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World.
