The sun never seemed to rise over Morytania, evil seemed to hang in the air like a curtain. The rays of light fought as best they could to break the darkness but even at the sun’s zenith at noon the light merely resembled a bleak dawn.
They continued down the blackened path and walked into a decaying forest, every tree was wilted and dead, the bark rotting away. The branches hung low and a carpet of mold covered the forest floor. The shuffle of dead leaves could be heard from the horrible creatures lurking behind the fog. They soon passed out of the forest area and into Mort Myre Swamp. The dull muck gurgled and bubbled as snails slunk around in the tall grasses and the air was foul and stagnant. Adam gasped as he took his first breath of the swamp air. It barely seemed to be air and was more like breathing putrid water.
There was a long winding path through the tall grass that lead to a massive wall that surrounded Meiyerditch, the city controlled by vampires, the Vyrewatch, and the evil King Drakan. Even more massive than the wall was Castle Drakan, directly behind it. The gargantuan castle touched the sky it seemed, and was a massive silhouette against the sky, eventually evaporating as it rose above the low hanging clouds.
Adam and Rachel were exhausted. They had gone a distance that should have taken them two days in only a half a day. The vampire guards stood at the wall and looked as the feeble white light of the sun sank below the western horizon.
