Teaser II: The birth of a Hero
Deep within the earth you find yourself lost in the caverns of dirt and rock. The air is toxic, the fumes caused by a nearby pool of swamp powerful enough to render a man unconscious. But you are no man, you are a hero. You fight the urge to sleep and push on through the darkness. Your torch is burning out, with the only other light coming from across the cavern. It seems that the deeper you go, the harder it becomes to breathe.
You can feel something watching you, from where you do not know. You draw your weapon, prepared to strike. You slowly step forwards into the black, the cold, wet mud freezing your feet, Your sword in hand, you slowly tip-toe your way through the darkness. You can feel something getting closer, but what? You feel overwhelmed, the fear of being powerless eats at your mind. You are frozen in time, unable to move.You can see figures, skeletons slowly inching towards you. The fear strikes deep in your mind, you begin to surrender, but something calls your name. Suddenly a you feel a surge of energy overcome the feeling of paralysis, you swing your sword wildly in all directions. Your fury is maddening, hacking away at the skeletons. You continue to swing, your rage not finished. The air slices as the sword passes through air, until it finally hits something.
You swing again, but nothing's there. The feeling begins to go away, as it seems your all alone again. You breathe deeply, your fury has left you without breath. You look down, searching for a place to rest. An eye, covered in green slime lay staring at you as if it were alive. You pick it up cautiously, and place it in your backpack hoping to tell stories of how you encountered a mysterious creature.
The air is cold and toxic, your mind tells you to leave, but something is attracting you farther into the cave. As you walk deeper into the cavern you enter a room with a strange looking monument. You make your way over to examine the monument, only to find the floor below you is no longer dirt, but tile. It reads: "Offer an eye of sacrifice and worship the elder..." You turn to the sacrificial table, blood still covers it. Someone is watching you, but what? You turn to see what you sense staring at you through the darkness, but nothing is there. Something is there, you can feel it.
You open you pack and pull out the eye, It's green liquid smells worse than the toxic fumes and sticks to your hand. With a powerful shake it falls to the table, then something mysterious happens.
You look up to see that the room you are in is different. You think to yourself, where am I? You begin to step forward, but something stops you. That feeling returns, you are certain something is watching, but what? You try to move, but you are unable. The paralysis is stronger, unlike anything you have ever felt. You stand staring straight ahead, the only thing you can move are your eyes. A deep, growling voice echos in your mind. "You shall die for disturbing me..." Your mind goes black, as you peel over and crash into the ground. You want to fight, but something is holding you down. With all your might, you force yourself to break the hold that shadows you in darkness. Light from your torch finally reveals the creature in front of you. It floats up and down, all of its many eyes staring at you. You raise your sword and the feel the fury come on again. It takes many hacks but finally the creature lay dead in front of you. A prize, it seems the creature carried a helmet. You take it as a token of your victory. You look up to see a strange glowing light appear in front of you. You take the helmet and pass into the portal, to continue your adventures.
