it'll be joshua centric for a few chapters

Joshua pushed through the overhanging of leaves to peer through. There was the castle. How was he going to get across he mused? It was clear that whatever was affecting the surrounding areas was emanating from the castle. The case details only told him the history behind the place and what was happening. As always, his job was to find the source of the problem, in this case what was making the surrounding areas be overrun with thorned vines and get rid of it.

All the clues he had gotten from the agency told him to head to the castle and find out there. It was a curious case as the Kingdom Roselium had just fallen off the face of the Earth thirty years only to return. No doubt the castle’s reappearance was the cause of vines taking over the areas. But the issue was getting in and getting rid of whatever was causing it.

He was on a deadline. A very short deadline. One week before the entire area and the nearest city would be consumed. Joshua had to work fast.

Slowly he rappelled down the cliff, making use of his climbing equipment. Pity he had to leave it here. He sighed as he looked up and turned towards the castle. It wasn't going to be easy given the look of castle ruins. Joshua perused the dead garden. Time to get dirty.
