Story
Grandpa Jay has been wandering up into the mountains again! He is too old and confused to be going off by himself. Even Grandma Rosie can't keep up with his eccentricities.
The Nishai Village calls upon Larry, the blacksmith to hike up to Red Castle Mountain to find Grandpa and bring him home. "He can't have gone far." Larry is assured by the villagers. "He never makes it past the old ruined mansion up there."
But after all what is Grandpa looking for up there? Little does Larry know that he is about to find out what lurks in the shadow of the mountain...

-- Dedication --
To Kyle, who gave me a pair of wings,
to Adriaan who showed me the sky
and to Leeland, who kicked me out of the nest
and made me fly.
Finally, to the AltaSquad for being my flock.
