[b]The Darkest Solstice [/b] [b]Chapter One[/b] Once again, another email received from Coldbourne castle. This one however was sent out to many, many people. In fact, it's quite possible everyone even affiliated with the dojo was invited. The email also was not the usual job recruitment, but rather a invitation to join Alex Coldbourne at a Galla(or as described in the email, "A fancy ass party"). The Galla is was being held at Coldbourne Castle, in the Ko-Rudo mountains. All of the guests were expected to be dressed to the nines, which was odd considering who was hosting. But, many people obliged, and made their way to the mountains and Coldbourne castle. The Galla started at 4:00pm, so it was still light out when the guests started to arrive. When they did get to the castle, they walked across the long bridge that stretched across the mountain range and towards the tall and impressive castle. That being said, the castle wasn't intimidating. Rather, it looked warm with its light orange lighting and fashionable walls. The bridge also provided the best view for the village that had been built in this mountain range. The homes looked incredibly cozy with their wooden design, and there were dozens of them that were built all across the mountain sides. Bridges and platforms connected them all and there were railings to ensure no one could accidentally fall. There were also homes built on some of these platforms, which were reinforced with strong steel beams that dig deep into the mountains they were in between. Inside the castle, there were already dozens of guests. Some were familiar faces to dojo members, others were not. That being said, everyone there was incredibly well dressed for the occasion. The throne room had been turned into the destination of the Galla, and there were many different things inside. There were tables that had more food then needed for the occasion, and tables with a variety of what an innocent mind would think is punch. There were also servers, all dressed incredibly well, and probably two dozen heaters stationed around different points of the castle to keep the populace warm. More newcomers came in, and aimed to greet others, or simply wished to attend. [spoiler]Combined post!(meaning anyone signed up for the plot can reply here). Objective: Talk to people at the party. You can either enter, or already be there, it's your choice! [/spoiler]
