THE RATRI MANSION

A place full of elegance and royalty no monarch has ever toppled. With a playlist of classical musics playing in every corner of the room, the latest head of the Ratri clan, Peter Ratri, waited in his room for the news about the whereabouts of the last of the members and associates of their clan who betrayed them in favour of their support of one William Minerva, a mysterious figure that has been lurking around what was known as the Demon World.

Until a news arrived at his doorsteps delivered to him by his guards... Grace Field House, one of the top-of-the-line Premium Farms, was caught on fire. The demons there were in high alert, as they were informed that the fire was a ruse so that the children will escape. But even then, 15 Grace Field children have gone missing.

During this time, Peter was furious. How could this catastrophe ever happen in a place for the manufacturing of high grade meats? It was all but a mystery. Out of his desire to know the truth, he sent a detective down to the Premium Farm to investigate.

"Hmm... Alexander Primo. One of the currently active top officer for James Ratri, my brother and a traitor. I summoned you to my office today to investigate on the recent events that happened on that Premium Farm... the Grace Field one. I need you to go down there and find out what you need to know. 15 children have gone missing, but neither trace of them nor their ashes are found in the scene, and the head there, Isabella, assumes all responsibility for the tragedy. I'm guessing they have escaped." Peter stood up from his desk and walked around the room, "I know that you worked for James Ratri for a long time, and I know in my heart that you wouldn't betray me..." Peter then got near to him and whispered to his right ear, "So don't fuck this up, capiche?"

Alexander responded without fear in his heart, "I will." Peter's guards escorted him out of the Ratri mansion to start his objective.

GRACE FIELD HOUSE

He went to the Grace Field House, where he was met with demons guarding the bridge that leads to the central area of the farm. From there, he was met by caretakers known as 'Mamas', with their head being the "Grandmother". He pulled out his badge in front of them. "Director Alexander Primo, I've been sent by Sir Peter Ratri for a special investigation." he said as he stared at their scary eyes covered by special masks. He was eventually let in, and from there, he shook hands with the Grandmother, Sarah.

Sarah took him to her office, where she was interrogated by Alexander.

"Grandmother Sarah, I must say that you're the chief of Grace Field House, yet you're still encountering accidents. Sir Ratri expect big from you, since this is one of the Premium Farms out there. Whatever happened to Plantation 3 must be taken care immediately. Where is the caretaker of that facility?" He said, bearing a smug face as he looks for the truth.

"She is currently in solitary confinement. We'll put her in hold until further evidences are discovered. In the meantime, you will not get anything from me... it's all her fault. She did not manage to follow the structural code of the facility nor manage the situation that is engulfing in flames. She needs to be put down. She failed me when I chose her to become a Mama. This is what she'll get. Take her away." Sarah tried to solidify her statement that Isabella, the caretaker of Plantation 3, must be punished for her epic mismanagement.

"I understand your point, Grandmother, but like you said: until further evidences are uncovered, we'll keep going. Should these things adhere to my final decision, you will see to it if you're right or wrong. I will stay here to talk to the convicted. Good luck if your claims are false." He walked away from the room, leaving Sarah speechless.
