On the outskirts of Vamcult Island, a cliff overshadows the dark depths of the ocean. The waves pound against the hard-jagged rocks at fifty feet high, barely reaching the mansion that sat on the brink of the cliff, surrounded by red wood trees that were hundreds of years old. The full moon shone brightly in the star filled sky, with clouds rumbling in the distance from an oncoming storm that seemed to be disturbing the ever-changing sea.
In the mansion on the second landing, looking through the tall center window, stood a single man, staring out at the storm that was brewing less than a mile away.
A knock sounded at the door and, without turning, the man replied, "Come in Edwin."
A slightly older man, with gray hair barely touching his temples, walked in the cold dark room. He wore a butler's uniform fitted with white gloves and a white cloth draped over his left forearm. He stood erect at attention and with an expressionless face announced,
"The preparations have been made my lord, everyone expected to attend has been informed of your request."
The man smiled, never leaving his view of the thundering clouds.
"Excellent Edwin, and the letter?" he asked.
"It has been sent about an hour ago, along with the Mercedes that you inquired. I expect them to arrive in another couple of hours, my lord." Edwin informed him with a steady grace.
"Good Edwin, when they do arrive, make sure no one hears of it and I mean no one, is that understood?"
The butler bowed slightly. "Yes, my lord." He left the room with a soft click of the door.
Once again, the man was left alone in semi darkness. Down below he caught a movement in the corner of his eye. It was too dark to tell who it really was, but he didn't need to see the face of the person to know. Judging by the young person's stance he had a very good idea. He watched the young man pick up some pebbles and throw them out at the raging sea.
"One day you will thank me for all I'm about to do and realize that I do have your best interests at heart." he said, looking out at the boy as he slowly grinned.
