Part 1: Secrets and Doom CHAPTER 1 The Pendant of Circle Secuity was passed down through the family. Henry Pike didn't think much of it, other than it had been in his family for generations. It didn't look like much. Simply a bronze circle with a shape of a key in the middle. It was kept on a thick chain, hung around the neck of his father. Henry only got a quick glimpse of the pendant now and again. Each time, he had asked his father what the pendant was for- and why he was always wearing it. He was never told, even as he grew to be a mostly- honest young adult. His father simply gave him the same reply he had been hearing all his life. "I'll tell you about it when you're older," and that would be the end of it, before his father turned and disappeared into his room. He tried asking his mother, hoping to be enlightened. She didn't offer him much knowledge either. "It's a special pendant. That's all you need to know." Henry would sigh, feeling as though all he needed to know, was just not enough. The years passed him by, and he found himself his own appartment. His father, who still wore the pendant and chain, would begin to ask him questions. He found them odd. "How do you keep rooms seperate and private to other strangers?" Henry always frowned, finding this question insulting. "You close and lock the door behind you," he answered. That simple answer alone brought a smile to his father's face, so he tolerated his strange behaviour. This day, five years later, began no differently...
