Nobody knows when Dark Tower also known as Dark Tower Dungeon was created, it was and will also be a mystery to common people who walk earth to work, get married, have children and eventually die.
It is only discovered to those who receive the letter, but this is not an invitation, when a member of Dark Tower dies someone else has to take their place, but this is not a random selection of events, if Dark Tower consul sees potential to the dead members relative or someone they truly care about, they are the ones who get the red envelope.
It is indeed their choice if they want to accept the invitation or not, but no one really tells them what are they signing on.
There are also trespassers who get to the Dark Tower without an invitation just like Ethan and his friends.
As the Dark Tower's light swept on Ethan's face he was unable to process what just happened, looking confused at the person who just told him he violated the law.
"What Law? We don't even know where we are" Ethan mumbled.
"Oh, but you do, Mr. Winters, you are here that means you live by our rules now."
Replied the nameless shadow of a man, he was pale, no hair, no eyebrows, but he had a cunning eyes with red sparkles jumping out like a wild fire.
"That is called kidnapping and I'm gonna call the police" Crystal replied with a strong tone, as she started searching for her phone.
"Oh, humans and their cellphones, I'm afraid your items are in our vault till we investigate your potentials"
Sighed the unknown man as he kept glaring at Ethan.
"Who even are you? And what gives you the power to talk to us like this?" Claire finally spoke, her tone was very calm but also very sensitive, she was scared.
"As for my given name, I'm Zena, head master of this tower and as far as the power goes i have more than you could ever imagine" Zena's tone was unchanged, it was spectacular, no emotions or gestures just plane words.
"Now, Ethan, you will come with me like it or not, and your friends will be escorted to the Dark Tower's main Manner, there they will be tested and checked very strictly to make sure their minds have enough strength to stay in this place" Zena's face was overlooking Ethans and directly starring at Crystal, he knew more than anyone about Crystal and perhaps everything about everyone but he wanted to see the shade in her eyes, hate and confusion she was emitting.
"I will come with you, but answer me this, what do you mean their minds are capable or not for staying here?" Ethan replied.
"If that's the answer you want to finally come with me, sure. When you saw the doors at the entrance of the building, it should've been just you Ethan coming through that door, i'm amazed how they both didn't get shredded into peaces in that dimension since we don't have any information about their potentials, but they are like" Zena's smile was ruthless, his grey tattoo on his head was not helping the situation either, it was that crow symbol again.
"As long as they are not harmed, Lead the way" Ethan replied, he was bit calm now.
Claire and Crystal were looking at each other, confused and agitated, as two shadowy figures approached them they sighed and held hands.
"No matter what happens we have to stick together and find Ethan after this is done"
said Claire. Her hand was soft and sweaty unlike Crystals.
"But we ar-"
As Crystal was finishing the sentence two guards grabbed their hands and started chanting, after a split second both of the girls were on the floor, passed out.
"Great, we lost 10 days of our lives for this spell, we could've just dragged them" said the first guars.
"You know the rules, be cautious. If they escape we will be the ones in that room" replied the second guard, as they took the girls to the Manor.
