Wildcat goes to the elevator that will lead up to the castle morne main area. It a while to do so until he made it to the top of the place. Entering the main area he sees.... Well quite the site of this place. To his right are a group of the servants or what the book calls them the misbegotten. They all are praising at a much bigger version of them on a pile of the people that lived here. To his left are the undead dogs, Tho they are easy to deal with and he feels he doesn't want to deal with that many of those misbegotten's. So he decided to go and kill the dogs to his left and sneak by the misbegotten's. Killing one undead dog and dealing with another he sneaks by them, until up ahead in another type of enemy he saw on the book. A mad pumpkin head with a giant makeshift hammer who is sleeping. He quietly move pass the creature and make no noise, until a misbegotten sees wildcat.

It runs up to him as wildcat waits to move at the right moment. Once it jumps at him he dodged out of the way, but he sees it hitting the mad pumpkin head. This wake it up in anger and swings it's hammer at the misbegotten. The others on the mountain of bodies hear it's cry and run to attack the mad pumpkin head. This gave wildcat some time to escape while the creature kill the misbegotten's. He goes and sees a ladder that leads up to the castle. Climbing up and making it to the top he sees a misbegotten already going to attack him. But wildcat struck at the misbegotten right when it jumps in the air, which pushed it back. Wildcat went to finished it off and continue on his goal. He makes his way on the bridge when two misbegotten appear, only this time they can fly. They all shoot their arrows at wildcat as he constantly dodge all of them. Wildcat puts his sword up and equip his crossbow and shoots at the flying misbegotten. He shot one in the head as it falls to the ground and the others moves a bit higher. Wildcat shoots this one in the wings and it falls to the floor, he than runs up to it and finished it off. He goes across the bridge and hears something to his left.

A group of godrick soldiers and the misbegotten's are fighting each other, something he and his friends haven't seen before. Wildcat did sees something on the other side of their fight, so he makes his way to it. He tries to ignore them while they fight, but one of the godrick soldiers turn and attacks him. Wildcat fought back and moves on, but he has his sword out just in case one attack him. Going up the wooden stairs he sees someone sitting on a bench and assume is irina father. He goes up to him and he sees wildcat approaching.

???: Ah, there's a face I've not seen before

Wildcat: huh? Oh me?

???: Yes of course, who are you?

Wildcat: I'm tyler

Edgar: nice to meet you tyler, I'm edgar and I'm the warden of this castle as ordained by Lord Godrick himself

Wildcat: ok

Edgar: But you can see how things have turned out. The menials have all rebelled. They gave me good service, or so I thought, but it seems it was all an act

Wildcat: oh shit

Edgar: huh Foul creatures, as it's said. And true enough they're foul inside and out. I'm sorry to disappoint you, But whatever you've come here to do, I'm afraid Castle Morne won't hold much longer. Take this, by way of apology

Wildcat: *takes what he gave him* thanks, but I'm here to deliver something to you

Edgar: what is it?

Wildcat: here *gives him the letter*

Edgar: I see, from Irina... Thank you. I'm in your debt. But I can't leave yet. Even if the castle should fall, as commander, I must remain

Wildcat: but why?

Edgar: To ensure the treasured sword of Morne does not fall into the wrong hands

Wildcat: sword?
