Enjoy!...PS, sorry I didn't review sooner, I sprained my fucking ankle (left one) AGAIN! GRRR! LOL! .
The
next day, after having discovered the child's room, Robin continued
his way across the vast manor in search of anything else suspicious.
On the next level up, he found Mistress Ammoraye's den, or what looked like her home office, which was also an uncannily large space.
Before entering, robin looked around the hall to make sure that no one else had followed him here.
It was completely clear, and with that, he entered, however, there was one person inside who could help him get the answers he needed.
As he looked around, he noticed that the red walls and all of the white framings adorning the walls, were in the same rococo style as the little girl's room on the level below.
Robin then turned and looked over towards the west side of the room, there on the wall, hung the six missing portraits from the girl's bedroom.
The first one, had a prim and proper looking young girl sitting in a stool.
Her dress was obviously of very fine quality, and she had porcelain skin, crystal blue eyes, and long black hair, which hung neatly past her breasts with little red bows on the ends.
Robin walked over a little closer to the painting, on the frame on a little golden panel, there was a Pahoran name engraved in it, and they were the same symbols that were on the little girl's bedroom door.
The next one had the little girl standing up, in the same dress, with a tall pale man with his hand on her shoulder, standing next to an elegant but stern looking woman with short black hair and black lipstick.
Upon looking at this one, Robin didn't really care about the remaining four portraits.
Not because of the girl or her father, but because of the woman in the background.
She was the only other woman in the portraits, so she had to be Mistress Ammoraye, without a doubt.
Just then, the silence was abruptly broken, as Robin harkened to the sound of something breaking.
And the sound was coming from the same room he was in right now.
He quickly whipped out his birdarangs and prepared for combat. Only to see that the culprit was the same old housekeeper from before.
She'd been cleaning in the Mistress's office when she knocked over a small vase.
Robin let out a heavy sigh and put his weapons away.
"Robin, what on Earth are you doing in the Mistress's office?" The woman as ked as she began to sweep up the mess.
"Oh uh, sorry. But, I was wondering, if you could tell me about this." Robin replied as he pointed to the portrait of the three member family.
The woman walked up a little closer and nodded with a smile.
"Robin, pull up a seat, this story may take awhile." The woman said as she and robin both grabbed a chair and sat in front of the long row of portraits.
"You see Robin, that woman over to the right, is My Mistress, Ammoraye Veh, her husband Dothspero, and their daughter, Nizaca." She began.
Robin nodded, happy he was right about the Mistress's identity.
"So, if you say your Mistress is the only one besides you and the other servants in the house, then, what happened to her husband and daughter?" Robin asked again, as the woman nodded and moved her chair up a little closer to the pictures.
"Well, Ammoraye's husband died of an unknown , but natural cause only last year, and her daughter died upon the new millennium." The woman said.
"But why then?" Robin asked as the woman shrugged and out her chair away.
"Hmm, on Pahora they say that in wealthy families their children are appeased as a sacrifice. But my Mistress would never do such a thing to her own darling kin. Especially to Nizaca." The woman finished as Robin nodded once more and looked around.
"So, where is your Mistress now?" Robin asked as the woman shrugged silently and continued on with her work.
However, Robin was still unsatisfied with her answer.
But, for now, he had no real choice, so he decided to just go back downstairs with the others and see what there was to do in the manor.
But, as of now, robin couldn't find one group anywhere, everyone was scattered throughout the mansion, all doing different things.
Most of the girls were outside at the pool, the guys, inside at the big screen TV playing video games, and those who weren't doing either of them were just wandering around.
As Robin looked out the mansion's large windows, he saw that the rain had finally stopped, and now most people were outside.
As Robin made his way down the last flight of stairs, he walked through the large dining room, and out to the large backyard where everyone was playing happily and just having fun.
However, as expected, Kyd Wykkyd and Raven were both sitting out in the shade, just talking about spell books n' such.
"Hey Robin, it's about fricken' time you come out!" Hayley called to him as he looked over at her with that same unsatisfied glint in his eyes.
As Robin shut the back door, he gazed upward at one of the uppermost windows, where a mere shadow of a tall woman stood.
But, this shadow looked somewhat like the silhouette of Mistress Ammoraye.
Meanwhile, back inside, it was indeed Mistress Ammorye standing in the window, watching her guests intently, as her servant approached her.
"My Mistress. Forgive me for revealing Nizaca's identity! I had to! Unless you want that meddling child finding out about- With that, Mistress Ammoraye raised her hand and silenced her servant.
"Quiet. I realize you did what you had to. And you're quite right, Robin is a meddling child, but he's different from the others I've dealt with before. He's the kind that won't give up. The kind I distaste the most." Ammoraye finished as she turned around to face the servant.
"Do you want me to do away with him, Mistress?" The servant asked as Ammoraye raised her pale hand once more.
"No, they'll begin to do away with each other eventually." Ammoraye replied as she continued to gaze outward towards her guests, and the towering wall of forest and woodland that adorned the back of the manor.
"After all, you know what they say, my friend-all in good time, all in good time." Ammoraye finished with a smirk as she walked away, and closed the curtains.
All of her plans were slowly coming together, and that was going to be a big issue for the two teams.
