Book 5 Chapter 11 - "the Burden of Protection Part 4 Temptation And The Sample"
Description
In Part 3, In the pouring rain, Garret and Phrixus finally arrived at the Tower of the Fallen Paladin, the last resting place of Lenore Drache. Once a holy warrior dedicated to assisting Garret's family in their own sacred oath, the paladin succumbed to temptations that assailed her. In a last ditch effort to serve her vows, despite falling from grace, she ended her own life, and now haunts her former home, constantly bleeding to fulfill her oath of supplying several drops of blood to Garret's family and their mission, but also tempting those who might dare enter.
Garret warned Phreixus of the temptations he may face, as well as alluding to the fact that he nearly succumbed to his own temptations in his last visit.
The pair entered the tower, searching for the ghostly warrior, to complete a portion of the ritual Garret needs to help keep a mysterious portal closed. They find evidence that someone was in the tower recently, and the possibility they have met an unfortunate end.
As they climb higher in the tower, they hear a mysterious moaning on the floor above them...
