Crombe
Once upon a time, there lived a princess in a castle, name Lucy. Her father, the king, had recently passed away, leaving his daughter and servants alone in the castle. Even before her father's death, Lucy loved exploring the castle and found many secrets in the nooks and crannies.
One day, she was venturing down a corridor, when she stumbled upon a room that she had never seen before. In this room was naught, but a single mirror, that stood proudly at the center of the room. Curiosity overtook her, and she peered into the mirror.
As she looked inside, she saw herself standing next to her father and mother, both smiling at her. Lucy stared at her parents, and vice versa. Just as she was about to call out for a servant, her mother in the mirror spoke.
"Please be silent, my child, for I have a favor to ask of thee.",said Lucy's mother
"Whatever is it, mother?",asked Lucy
"We wish for you to set us free.",replied her mother,"For we hast been tricked and sent into this mirror of death."
"Who hath deceived you?",asked Lucy
"A servant named, Crombe.",replied her father,"For it is he, who hast tricked us into this darke mirror."
"But, there art no servants carrying the name, Crombe.",said Lucy
"Ah, for this wicked servant goes by another name.",replied her mother
"What is his name, then?",asked Lucy
"Verum nomen oportet non esse revelabitur.",replied her father. Lucy's parents vanished from view, leaving her alone again.
At once, Lucy left the room and headed toward the dining room. As usual, the table had food and wine laid out, and Lucy ate supper, then went to bed.
The next morning, Lucy walked to her parents' room, hoping to find something there. When she got to her parents' room, she found a torn piece of cloth on the floor before the bed.
On the torn piece of cloth was the initials: J. S. S.
Realizing which servant had done it, Lucy summoned the servants to the throne room.
"How may we serve you, my lady.",asked the servants
"May the servant known as Janus Sonjin Saimond come forth.",replied Lucy
"What might I do for thee, my lady?",asked Janus after stepping forward.
"Does this cloth belong to thee?",asked Lucy
"Why yes it does.",replied Janus, looking at the cloth.
"Guards, capture this man, for he caused my parents' deaths.",ordered Lucy
"Not so hasty, my lady.",said Janus
"Either leave to whence you came, Crombe.",declared Lucy,"Or be thrown in prison."
At hearing this, Crombe smiled wickedly.
"How foolish, my lady. For I come from thee!",replied Crombe, before possessing the princess.
Because the rest of the servants were not paying attention, none of them noticed anything wrong.
"Lux numquam fallit veritam tenebrarum.",said Crombe, as the princess
Many years passed and the kingdom that was once Lucy's faded into obscurity.
