As you come around the side of Muddle Manor, you stop dead in your tracks at the sight of an expanse of land you never expected stretched out before your eyes. Never in your wildest dreams did you realize this place was so big! It's more evident now that you're up on the tallest hill, able to see for miles. Boy, the air here sure is crisp!

Not too far away, you see a clear, little pond, and you wonder how long it would actually take to walk there. It looks very well maintained and inviting. The surface of the pond is so still that it looks exactly like a drop of liquid mirror landed on the landscape. The reflection of the sky is so perfect that you find yourself in a mezmorized state momentarily.

Is that a storm coming? Wait, what time is it? Where's the sun? Are you standing in the shadow of the manor?

What time is it?
Go through the gate to the Back Yard.
Hop over the little path border and head toward the pond.
Back away slowly claiming you have no problems with darkness.
Start stammering about vampires, werewolves and something about Shrek ogres and scream
"I have to leave IMMEDIATELY!"
