In an Scottish county Sutherland there was a group of 4 teenagers called "Ridirean an Dorcha", it stood for "The Knights of the Dark". And they were big admirers of the game called "Dungeons and Dragons" and there goes no week over without playing on that damned game as their parents used to call that. It was clear that the group has always have costumes ready to play the game. People even thought that they were just silly little kids who cannot be ever taken seriously. The leader of the group Ricky the Dungeon Master, who always chooses several different locations to play with his friends has decided a location that is more different than the other locations that they have been with. The rest of the group wasn't really aware that Ricky would choose that cursed location, but they were definitely not fond of it. But they promised to follow the leader wherever he goes. But the rest of the group had one question in mind "Why would Ricky choose this?".

On 3 AM in night, the group were together on their rendezvous at the Dunrobin Castle, where it has a reputation. Ricky orders everyone to break inside the castle, but everyone else was worried about this situation and especially Ricky's behavior. The castle is an official estate and therefore, it is not allowed to be opened by the public under the closing hours. But Ricky had this kick of getting in the mood of something eerie and spooky, everyone else wasn't. So therefore, they would think that the role of the Dungeon Master will not suit Ricky as well. So they planned something secretly behind Ricky's back while wandering through the castle after breaking in. When they have reached the upper floor of the castle, Ricky makes sure that the game tools were ready before playing it with the rest.  The rest of the group their plan was to dump Ricky alone as he already was distracted by preparing the game, so everyone began to run away quietly from Ricky and tried to leave the castle as well. Ricky was already done with the preparation for the game, as the turned around.... His friends were nowhere to be seen. He began worrying and starts to search for him in the entire darkness of that castle. Ricky heard a crying from the left side of the upper hall in the castle and started to follow the crying sound. He may have thought it was one of his friends crying over something and so he was even more worried. But the hall was a dead end with the window on the big wall, and yet he heard the crying still happening. So he looked over the window and he began to take a deep shocking breath as he saw all of  his friends are on the ground. Dead. Ricky was full of questions and he began sobbing over the loss of his friends, but despite the deaths of his friends... He still hears the crying... and the weather started to get rainy.... As Ricky began to turn around, he saw a young woman, covered in wet clothes and everything.... Like she was on the rain... Ricky was startled by her presence and asked for her wellbeing, the woman didn't reply his question and stopped crying. Ricky wonders if that woman is responsible for the death of his friends but the woman did not move, she only stared at him and vanished after few seconds into thin air.

Ricky out of horror began to scream and ran away from the castle as soon as possible. He told everyone in the county about what happened but everyone had a questionable look on their faces after Ricky's story.... But then Ricky realized after that he is no longer in the town.... He still is in that castle.... And it were not his friends who have passed away, it was him this whole time....
