<strong>Adventure 1</strong><br/><br/>When you open your eyes after retiring to bed that night you find yourself in an entirely new location. It is a small white room with no windows or doors. You feel somewhat dislocated as if your not fully here. In the center of the room is a statue of a child made of a polished dark marble. You feel like there is others with you in the room but whenever you turn you see nothing but the white walls.<br/><br/>The statue is slightly off-putting. It is almost as if its eyes follow you around the room, until you realize they really are following you around the room. When you stop and stare into the child’s eyes you feel yourself pulled in. For the briefest of moments you know everything. Every thought of every being since the beginning of time, Of planets coming into being and of their passing, you can see every atom and know intimately its place in the universe. Then with a blink of her eyes its gone.<br/><br/>She whispers to you and her voice lingers in the room as if millions of children were murmuring the same sentence.<em>We failed so long ago. We did not take the threat serious enough. The wound we suffered it was almost fatal. But recover we never can. We...loved the land and its people and the danger for them is very real. We can do no more than what we have done. You are the chosen at the place of worship. Should you fall return there and breath again.</em>The voices and the room fades.<br/><br/>When next you open your eyes. You find you are naked. Looking up you see fog and a large stone with runes marked on it. Not the place where you had laid down to rest. You feel damp grass beneath you and can hear the quiet lapping of water against a riverbank. Neatly placed next to you is your equipment and clothes.<br/><br/>As you are trying to unravel the disturbing circumstances of how you ended up in this location a searing pain so strong that it leaves a silent scream runs from your wrist. You see a glowing rune as if from a magical brand, and upon the stone in front of you [one rune for each of you] you see the same rune burning brightly then it fades. Looking at your wrist there is no sign of the rune that was causing you such suffering moments before.
