There are few who know of this fortress's exact location, those few are loyal to the Black King and are not likely to reveal its location. The exact number of attendants and warriors in his service are not known. Notable members of the Black King's court include The Lord Ninetails, a powerful Wind Spirit.

Ameno wakes up within a cold stone cell, with no doors or windows, and no light. Her whole body aches with a mind numbing pain that leaves her barely aware of herself. The only clothes she has are mere dirty rags.

Ameno: You'd think when they capture and kill me they'd at least dress me for the occasion...

Suddenly the bricks in front of her open up, and a shadowy form of a girl peers out at her, flickering with red light of some sort that without it, would have left Ameno completely unable to see her, save for her haunting glowing red orbs for eyes. "''Sssssh! Come with me. I've been exploring around this dungeun and I think I know my way. We can get out together. I don't know what they did to us, but we aren't.... whatever we were before. Let's stick together and get out of here!" ''The girl waves for Ameno to follow her, and quickly moves out of sight down the hall.

Ameno: I'd rather die in here than trust a stranger ever again...

The girl sticks her head back in the doorway, now slightly irritated. "''Hey. I'm sure not going through this place alone, and I'd rather have someone rather than no one. At least you've got personality unlike the others who just curled up in these cells. Come on!" ''She grabs Ameno and pulls her along the corridors, ducking into a ventilation system and pulling Ameno with her.

"By the way, I'm Nex. Made it up cause I don't remember what I was before this. How about you?"

Ameno: I... I think... I don't know... I remember Ammo. Call me Ammo. *Ducks under a hanging nail*

Nex laughs quietly. "Already warming up I see. I think there's a way up to the next floor of this place at the end of this ventilation shaft, we'll have to be quiet though. I'd hate to run into guards or something."

Ameno: *Looks in a chrome piece of metal* I look terrible...

Her form is composed of some sort of darkness as well, with the same flickering red energy about her, though she seems more solid than Nex. Her eyes are partially the same, but overcast by red.

Nex rolls her eyes. "Hey, you're prettier than the majority of the people I've seen here. And trust me, there's some creepy ones in here."

Ameno: I remember... My beauty... I had a- *passes out*

Nex irritatably starts lightly smacking Ammo's face with her hand. "Hey, wake up doof! This ain't nap time!"

Ameno: *Throws Nex off with a loud roar* 'GET OFF OF ME!!! YOU BITCH!!'

Nex goes through the wall, and then emerges looking very much irritated. "Gaaaaaaah. What did I say about being quiet?! You don't just go falling asleep when you're trying to escape from somewhere!"

Ameno: I'm... I'm sorry... I don't know what happened...

"Ya went bitch mode lady. Now come on, let's get out of here before you decide to suffer from multiple personality disorder again."

Ameno: Alright. *Continues following*

They come to the other end, and Nex carefully peeks out of the vent. "Hmmmm.... ok we're good." Catlike, she easily climbs out of the vent, and into a more well lit hallway, with marble flooring, where Ammo can see slightly more of Nex. She wears similar rags like Ammo, only her hair is in two buns, and seems to be rather young, possible twelve or at the most fourteen. She seems very thin and stick like, while Ammo has a more healthy build to her.

Ameno: How long have you been here? *Ameno looks in the mirror at the two of them.*

"A week or so... ...can't find anything to eat in this place." She keeps walking silently along the hallways, looking around for something. "It's amazing how I've not seen any guards in this place. It's huge. I swear this castle goes for miles."
