Sunrise
Preliminary
Intro:
You find
yourself in a clearing, and to your mistrusting eyes, everything is
in shades of gray! There is no color anywhere. Upon looking down,
you discover that you as well as your clothing, is also in greyscale.
However you hold a strange staff that has a glowing crystal in its
head. Where is this place, and why are you here? What has happened
to the color of this strange location?
Your eyes are blinded by a burst of color, made all the more brilliant
by the lack of it in your surroundings. It is Elemorrah, the spirit
of color. Elemorrah has given you an enchanted staff, capable of absorbing
color. She has tasked you with choosing from this world the colors
each day for the sunset and sunrise. You are puzzled because you can
find no color anywhere within site, but she assures you that color
abounds as you explore this odd landscape.
As you venture from the clearing, you find that the forest indeed
begins to color. The trees and ground begin to be tinged with the
slightest hint of blue. There are strange creatures meandering around
that match the forest surroundings in hue. You are sure to keep your
distance from them as you explore deeper. To your wonderment, the
forest begins to deepen in saturation, becoming a brilliant fuschia,
and further ahead you can see the tops of massive trees that are the
deepest red you have ever seen.
As you stand in awe, one of the odd creatures discovers this new gray
intruder, and bounds towards you. It does not look friendly. Having
only the staff to defend, you steel yourself for battle....
and thus begins the quest
for the sunrise.
