Plot Description: I just made a bad dream. The Eye was floating in front of me, so close it was taking all
the space so I could not see anything but It. Then it began to get brighter and brighter
until I was completely blinded. Alone and disarmed, I suddenly heard the Eye’s cold whisper
as It talked to me: "I want to see you..." .
I woke up in a sweat, pulled out of the dream as I heard knocking on my door.
- "Garrett, I want to see you." said a voice.
'Keepers! Why am I not surprised?'

their arrival. When Keeper Malone was already inside, the three others were captured. Keeper
Malone is the only one who returned. He was severly shocked and before he felt unconscious,
we barely heard him whisper a strange word : 'eye'. Garrett, you're one of the most experienced
among us. We know that you prefer minding your own business and stay away from us, but let me
at least try to convince you. We need you to go into that Fortress. It was builded inside the
rock, which was carved by magical means. It stands above the High Creek along the sea. You
should be able to find an easy way in and..."
- "Save your breath Keeper, I’ll go take a look inside that Fortress."
