The roses of Grindell were sweet, sweetest that there ever was. They embraced the palace walls like trees in a forest, lying languidly upon the open stone hallways, wrapping themselves on the balconies and sneaking shyly in to perfume the bed chambers.

'Tis a tale, a tale of Lovers, Loners and Those Born To Die.
