[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1632625, member: 15338"] [B][CENTER]All[/CENTER] [/B] You take the straw- the tarnished metal feeling cold in your hands. Uou can feel the imperfections where the metal has begun to rot away. As you hold it, an image comes to mind. An old man sits alone, from his head radiates beams of light- each shooting out, creating a net. As the picture flows out you can see the net, encircling the shadow lands. And along the strands you can see spiders, scorpions, centipedes and worse, gnawing at the strands, trying to break the net. The old man looks at you- hs eyes boring into you, imploring. "[COLOR=PaleGreen]Help me, I will not live long and the ONE must be found. Already the strands break and not all my heroes can be found.[/COLOR] With that, the picture fades. You see the messenger in front of you- looking at you with the eyes of the old man. [COLOR=PaleGreen]There is an old charge - many cycles ago the clans agreed to protect the Empire. Into their hands was given the charge to never allow the Shadow into the jearts of men. The temples and monasteries have always formed part of this sacred trust. The Hengeyokai, Vannara and Korobokurru have always been part of the great cycle of the Kami. Now you are all called on to fulfill the needs of the sacred trust. Prepare yourselves- in three days time I will return. Come with me on my return it is th eonly hope of the Empire that those chosen by the Guardian answer his call- for you are the ones that together will find the ONE.[/COLOR] With that the messenger collapses, and slowly fades from sight- his horse, clothing and belongings remaining where they were.
