lyrics

"Went exploring the castle again with Bloogus last night. I didn't get back to our apartment until dawn. Mother discovered I was not in my bed chamber and had sent several guards to find me, which they failed to do, obviously!

We were lost for some time in the most complex network of secret passages we have discovered so far. They led us deep beneath the castle where our advance was finally halted by a large iron door bearing a mysterious symbol. it looked like a curved ribbon or bow with a post rising from the middle, adorned by two cross beams.

I cannot be sure, but I think Bloog recognized it. Possibly because of all that time he spends in the castle's library. He appeared quite disturbed, but refused to talk about it.

Maybe Bloogus could smell that noxious odour emanating from behind the door and that is why he was in such a hurry to turn back. There has been talk of unusual nocturnal deliveries of mysterious foul smelling crates. Perhaps this is where they are being kept? There was something weirdly familiar about that smell, but I just can't put my claw on what.

It's hard to read him lately. He hasn't been permitted to see his mother for many weeks now and he misses her dreadfully. I think that's the real reason why he has gone exploring with me so much recently. He's trying to find a secret passageway that leads to the queen's bedchamber.

Also there's that business with the vixen servant girl he's fond of (too fond is you ask me). Her grandfather was recently convicted for telling those old stories. he has been imprisoned in Yggdrasil Dungeon, and had all his property confiscated. Not that he will be needing it anymore. That's the last anyone will see of him.

Anyway, mother was in a rage and has threatened to lock me in at night. Haha, as if that could stop me! I'm an earwig, for fethsake!

Eggs for breakfast again! I hate eggs!!"

excerpt from Laria's diary

...

"The chandler scolded me for dropping my tears into the candle wax today, shouting that 'candles are supposed to bring joy and light to the castle, not fill it with your sorrow and darkness!'

Idiot!

How I wish my tears could bring darkness and sorrow to this accursed castle, instead of this fakery! Everyone pretends to be happy as they prepare for the celebration of the royal birth, while ignoring the fact that no one has seen Queen Carlotta for weeks now.

Even Bloogus is avoiding me. Everything he said to me has been lies. He was never going to help rescue grandfather. I saw him this evening, skulking around the castle halls with that horrible daughter of that witch ambassador.

I've made up my mind. I'm leaving this place as soon as I'm able. If the prince won't help grandfather, I'll find someone else who can!"

excerpt from Raine's diary

Something primal and eternal stirs within. Like wading through an archetype of time. No bleak premonitions for a future nor recounts of ages bygone - just the fleeting and ephemeral moment between it all which peculiarly seems to last forever. A wonderful experience. MarsDragoner

O death, where is thy sting?
by feth

supported by 46 fans who also own “Castle Binn Ghulbain”

Feth excellently captures the symphony of decay that is ever present in the soil beneath our feet, a constant battle of life and death, mandibles grasping limbs, soft flesh crushed by shining jaws, and the cycle repeats. A brooding and excellent release. sjöhäxan
