*Aurora looks like Ann “except with a rat tail scaled near the end, four-inch-long eyelashes, randomly colored fur, one bat and one feathery wing, a row of spines along each forearm, and another crestlike row of spines starting on her forehead where her hair does and going straight back. The spines are stripey.”

*Author Brothers house has two brick fireplaces: 1. Midwestern Family room, 2. Grand Library
 +
*Description of Author’s Midwestern family room: “The room was a stereotypical Midwestern family room, with a fireplace, a couch, loveseat, and two chairs. The walls were painted a nice white-ish color, and the furniture managed to look pretty good. There were small bookshelves on either side of the fireplace. The two bookshelves held various books, including two books of quotations, a dictionary, several works of fiction, and one that read "The Identification and Classification of Birds".”
 +
*Description of Author Brother’s Dining Room: “It was painted a light shade of yellow, and there was a table with six chairs. Usually we only use four chairs, but sometimes we have company, and we like to be prepared.” A curtain leads to the kitchen and a folding door leads to the hallway.
 +
*Description of Author Brother’s Kitchen: “It was a neat-looking room, with organized cupboards and light-blue walls. There was a stove-range combination, a fridge, a dishwasher, a sink, a microwave, a toaster, and a small freezer, as well as a door out to the back.”

It has a couple of paintings in it, one a copy of the Poker Dog Painting, the other a rip-off that had cats playing poker.” There is a door to the basement here. Next to it is the bathroom. hose stairs across from the basement lead up to my and Eshli's room. Down there are the doors to Atescu's room - left side - and the library - right. And that door at the end of the hall leads to a closet.”

*Description Author Brothers House Freek’s Room: “He led them through the second door on the right. There was a small door in the left side of the room, and a closet slightly ajar in the right back corner. The bed was covered with dark blue sheets, although they looked like they needed to be re-straightened. The room was painted a dark green, and the window trim was a light green. A ceiling fan hung in the middle of the room, and the light coming from it made the room look very nice. There were several overflowing bookshelves, as well as a small desk cluttered with papers.”
 +
*Description Freek’s closet: “A brightly burnished silver helm fell out as she opened the closet. Freek looked at it, slightly surprised. I didn't want anyone to see that... at least the broadsword hasn't fallen out yet...” and “a silver suit of what was obviously fitted armor revealed itself. On the right side of the chest was a golden symbol reminiscent of a sun rising on the horizon. The gauntlets were holding the hilt of a broadsword, the sword's point between the metal boots of the suit of armor. Hanging next to the suit of armor was a yew longbow, and hanging next to that was a quiver of what appeared to be arrows sharp enough to pierce armor.”
