To tame the Stonelands.

[Blackrat]

You take only a few steps forwards when a cowled figure in tattered robes comes from the cave. "Welcome, Lady of Red Castle. We have been expecting you." The voice sounds strangely familiar, but you can't get the hold of it. It is a voice of an aged woman, trembling and somewhat croaking, but pleasant.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Launa stops and stands firm. She motions for the rest of the soldiers to do the same.

Identify yourself she says in an unwavering tone.

 

[Blackrat]

"I am who I am, my dear. As are the others who they are. We stopped carrying names long ago. Now leave these men behind and follow me, there is much to discuss." You take a look around and notice that your troops are as if frozen to place.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

At ease soldiers, I'll be back in a few, Launa says.

Launa draws her sword and follows the hooded figure.

 

[Blackrat]

"You don't need that my dear." The old crone remarks as you draw your sword, but she doesn't seem threatened and leads you inside. A couple of turns later the bright green light has become so intense that it hurts your eyes. You turn one more corner and infront of you is a barrier, almost as bright as the sun, made of green energy. "We have to pass that, it is the Rift. Don't worry, it feels a bit dizzying but is safe."

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Launa strains her eys. "What the hell, whats the worst that can happen," Launa cooments.

She then jumps into/past the rift.

 

[Blackrat]

You emerge from the other side where the light is much more pleasant and more yellow than green. The crone is nowhere to be seen. Instead there is a figure in similar but much less tattered robe. Younger for all you know too, for she stands with straight back unlike the woman who lead you here.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

All right, whats with the light show, and what exactly is going on?

 

[Blackrat]

"The light is a rift in time my dear. This place doesn't exist in your world as no longer does any of us living here. You saw me in the form I would be had I lived all these years on the other side. I can't be there very long anymore, or I'd die. It's a bit complicated but you'll learn one day, when you eventually join our sisterhood. Come now, the matron needs to speak with you" She starts leading you forward, the walls soon change from natural rock to worked corridor as she leads you on.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Whoa, okay, thats just a little weird. What exactly are you telling me? You've ssen the future or is it that time is as malleable as clay?

Launa ponders these thoughts aloud while being led to the matron.
