There's a castle in the woods, known and not lost. Still some people don't know of it. Some think it's a myth. Such as people who live far away. In if the castle has legends within it. In books and journals of journeys into the woods. The unknown to most. The people in the castle and villages say there are unnatural, immoral, magical, and weird beings. Such has Spell Casters, and potion users. Such as creatures in fairy tales and books for when the young ones go to sleep. Dreaming of those creatures in the night. Living in secret, behind the bars of the trees.

Such as the Queen in the castle, Blue Diamond. There's no King, no higher leader than the Queen. The family of the Diamonds only accept gem like names. Such as her daughter, Lapis Lazuli Diamond. She will become the new Queen when she becomes twenty-five years of age. The problem is, she doesn't want to be the new leader. She doesn't want to boss around the Pearls and Rubys. She rather not be the bad guy, she rather not be the one everyone looks upon. She rather be a peasant in the village. She finds it as a more relaxing and carefree life. But it wasn't the villages were always under harm. From raids, kidnappings, and things being stolen. But these crimes don't come from the poor humans. They believe the creatures and beings from the night stole their goods and children.

The woods is indeed a dangerous place but people still travel through. All the daring souls that entered, they never returned. So, no legends or myths can be proven fact. A lot of families lost their loved ones from the dangerous woods, the unknown. People never call it woods any longer, only the unknown. The Unknown is the most feared place in the area, the land. This is why no ever crosses it, the gate that stands tall outside the unknown. WHERE NO ONE RETURNS.

Never enter the forest, the woods, the UNKNOWN. Never, you're only hurting yourself and your family. This was the warning on the fence, but there was one person who didn't listen...
