WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF DEATH.

These words flashed on the screen to reveal a silver skull who was emitting smoke. It seemed like the skull was transforming into a dull grey smoke. The words too turned into smoke and vanished. The lower movable jaw of the skull slightly parted from the upper jaw. It appeared that the skull was smiling but Casper's mind was blank to conceive any information. The space between the two jaws emitted a dense smoke and the skull broke into pieces after turning upside down.

The reflection of the screen that formed on the retina of Casper's eye was something shiny. He stared the screen without a single movement and his eyelashes were scared to blink. They were afraid to break the dark painting painted by his brain on the canvas of his retina.

Casper inclined towards the LED screen and the world around seemed to fade away.

The dense smoke covered the vision and suddenly it started to form some faces. First the wings came into existence and then the feathers took a shape. A body followed and soon a beak poked out of the head. All of a sudden, a raven appeared. Its eyes glowed a shiny light that radiated fear.

An essence of scary aura descended with the raven. The puny raven sitting on a hollow or rather lifeless branch which was black in color with a slight greyish tan upon it. A dry leaf stood wearily at the end of the branch its dryness indicating that there was no value of life there. Nevertheless the light of the moon which should be radiating hope, somehow seemed scary to the souls it kissed.

Casper inclined back onto his sofa, making himself comfortable, nevertheless he was scared at the gaze. A bead of sweat marched down his forehead, making its way in between of the two eyes, having a funny slide at the nose and jumped down from the nose's tip. Then it went soothing the ground with its warm and wet touch. Casper stared at the LED screen without blinking his eye, his mere countenance went pale with no expressions engraved on it.

I have to agree my dad's programmers are awesome. Thought Casper boasting his dad for giving him the first prototype to test.



Slowly the raven shoved itself up manifesting its perfect aerobic body and its feathers aligned perfectly giving it a pair of wings for which it should boast of. The raven screamed and flew higher. The raven flew piercing the air with it's body.


When will this game start? Casper questioned himself annoyingly. Not because of the storyline which is being manifested but because of that puny raven which he began to hate the most.

The scary aura however left his place, wherewith leaving Casper all alone. Casper kept his joystick upon his lap and stretched his hands in air to loosen the muscles of his shoulder and returned back to his normal position. It seems like this raven has no destination wondered Casper fed up of gazing the raven.

The raven was flying in between the smoky clouds which hovered the land majestically making it impossible to look beyond them.

The raven suddenly started to descend with its beak penetrating the cloud's dew and its wings open, ready to shove it up from hitting the ground hard.

"Die...raven, die.....!" Groaned Casper at the top of his voice at the view, but his wishes never last long. Then the next thing he saw caught his eye grabbing all his attention.

The raven shoved itself up in the mid air and lo, a castle stood in front of it. The blue oceanic eyes stared at the castle with full of astonishment. Casper's senses came to a halt giving him a complete chance to stare at it's beauty. A scary music began to be played in the background. The raven went descending on a window and the view changed giving a complete look of the castle.

The castle glistened in the moon light and proudly boasted of its platinum body. The high towers kissed the sky in such a way that one can say that those towers are penetrating into the sky. Thunders and lightning descending from clouds gave the castle an imperial look.

The central castle along the towers descended Disney's famous scary effects. The castle was slightly tanned and upon the windows were engraved beautiful yet scary patterns. Ravens sat on those windows and they seemed to be guarding it from any intruders.

Dry creepers crept through the side of the wall of the castle, its surface filled with deadly potion. Surrounding the castle were various dried trees ready to trap anyone who dares to cross its boundary, in its branches polished with deadliest poisons.

Casper's mouth was hung open at the gaze of the castle. The scary yet imperial look of the castle sent shivers down his spine. His eye dared not to blink. His heart struggling against his ribs, his breathe becoming heavy by every passing second, goosebumps made their way all over his body. The castle radiated an aura of fear, a frightening essence seeped into Casper's heart scaring it struggle much hard.

A blow of thunder with a heavy sound jolted Casper in an instance. He jumped a meter back and hid himself behind the sofa. Another thunder went down and a scream escaped Casper's mouth, a scream of pain, a scream of agony, a scream which is let out when a person is hurt badly or brutally.

After a minute of scream, Casper found himself safe without any injuries. Yet another blow of thunder was heard by him. Casper slowly tilted his head and glanced at the LED screen and his sound systems with annoyance engraved on his countenance. Those weren't real thunders wherewith they are the background effects of the game.

He let out a sigh of relief knowing that the sound of thunders came from his sound system. He turned his blue oceanic eyes to have a glance at the LED screen and nevertheless wasting no time made he himself to stand upon his feet. Forasmuch what he saw engraved astonishment upon his fair complexion.

His eyelids dared not to blink, nevertheless it could obstruct his view. For he gazed at the glory of the castle being radiated into the atmosphere as the thunders strode behind it. The castle resembled an essence of immense power. It's imperial look carried a scary aura. It's unique platinum body shone brightly in the dark night absorbing the light emitted by the moon and thunders. But this astonishment lasted not much longer. Soon Casper's eye caught something, something he never expected, something that wondered him.
