After lunch Maria went to play dust and ashes in her room. but stopped in front of her window modeled to look like a large spiny spider web.
she was looking out of her wide round window hand pressed against the cold glass she saw her brother walking to town in his commoner outfit
"Hmmmm". she looks out at the grounds that surround the Palace, from the Ebony willow trees that dotted the garden by the water to the large, tall and burly timber oaks that lined the drive. 
Hugo shadowy form was gliding around the room in silence leaving a thin trail of shadowy smoke in his wake.
"hey lets go Hugo! lets go play with the dead Big brother is out today so we can play alone" she said before a giggle escaped her.
she started to hum to her self as she unclasped the latch of the window pain.
Hugo saw what she wanted to do and flew strait at the Crystaly glass passing through it without so much as a shimmer.
Maria stood up on her window ledge and jumped off falling into the thin air below her. she never had the chance to hit the ground. Hugo had swelled to the size of a large eagle golden eyes gleaming as he flew her to the outside of the castle walls. his transformation flickered and faltered as he was stugerlng to sustain his size. and he shrunk back as soon as her feet touched down on the mossy ground. she kicked off her shoes and ran through the woods sounding the castle summoning Ravens to race and birds to shreack. 

she slowed to a stop outside a pair of pitch black gates of twisted metal. she tried to push them open but failed so she pulled herself through the bars in the gate.
finally through she walked around the graves of the city's crematory humming and singing to her self and the dead and decaying around her. she walked up to the biggest stature and climbed up to sit upon the blackening shoulder or an angel.
