Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mommy, i can't sleep..."

"What's wrong dear?"

"Someone's always playing music! It's really pretty, but it's annoying!"

"Oh, don't say that! Here, i'll tell you a story, how about that? This is actually the story of why that music can always be heard..."

A long time ago, families all throughout town had that problem and would always tell their kids the same story. Once upon a time, there was a noble family of lords that lived outside the small town in a beautiful mansion. The wife of the lord at the time had just given birth to a baby boy, and the son's father couldn't be more overjoyed to have a strong young heir to the family fortune. Unfortunately, that was the year that all further misfortune seemed to spawn from. It started when the parents learned that their son had a strange illness, causing his health to be frail and delicate. Unfortunate, but nothing major. The boy, forbidden from going outside for his own well-being, grew up happy inside, though he'd often long to play in the garden he could only see from afar. He was 9 when his mother passed away due to another illness. As he grew older, his free time became absorbed in his studies and other indoor activities like fencing, reading, painting, and a variety of other art-based things, becoming especially fond of all forms of music. Singing, dancing, playing any instrument, he could do it all though only those within the mansion could see him. At the age of 18, his father was trampled by a runaway horse while on an outing into town. The boy had become the soul heir to the fortune, though some servants found it a waste as they all knew it was only a matter of time before their needy master would die early. A split formed between the truely loyal servants, and those that plotted their master's downfall. The boy was found one summer night with a knife in his back, slumped over the piano. A massacre between the servants broke out over the death of the boy until not a single living soul was left.

Present day, and the mansion remains untouched on the edge of town-turned city. If you listen closely over the city noises, you can hear the fragile sound of a violin or the flowing tune of a piano coming from the old house. Those who know the story will tell you thats the boy that once lived there so many years ago. Having never been allowed to go outside, he never got the chance to find love. Now they say his soul still haunts the house, waiting to find that special someone and hoping that the gods will give him a second chance to be with them. Some people even claim that they've seen the ghostly figures of his servants walking the streets at night; the truly loyal ones whose souls continue to serve their master after death. The story has spread lately, and a lot of talk has been going around as to what will become of the old house. Some say it'll be torn down, while others have been saying it'll be fixed up and turned into a city landmark. Whatever the reason, it's only a matter of time before the house begins receiving guests and visitors of all sorts.

"Grandma, do you think that boy's ghost will ever find his special someone?"

"That depends, dearie...Are you willing to go see him for yourself?"
