*leyla looks at the strange scroll and doesn't think its a idea good to mess with it. So she starts to walk away*
English
-
nothing happens, but you see a helicopter with several soldiers preparing to take the scroll. Their intimidating armor is obviously meant to inspire fear, and you get the feeling that it is bad news if they get the scroll.
-
*leyla sighs and mutters to herself* *leyla grabs the staff from her back as she starts chanting a spell in some ancient language. she then taps the ground with her staff making the ground open into massive hole under the soliders which swallows them up before closing up on top of them with a slam.*
-
The scroll falls to the ground, and comes open, revealing a message inside. It describes a contest, and a fabulous wealth at the end. This, you realize, is what drew the soldiers. They, for whatever malevolent purpose, are after the fortune at the end. Then, a simple riddle appears, apparently the first clue in the challenge. "Box without hinges key or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid. What am I?"
-
"Oh a riddle let me see i know this...is it an egg?" Says leyla
-
You get the faint impression of a smile, and the scroll crumbles to dust, replaced with a glimmering golden egg, with hinges, and a clasp.
-
*leyla cautiously opens the clasp bracing herself for anything that could pop out from it.*
-
A swirling red portal lies inside, imploring further exploration.
-
*leyla looks at the portal for a second then jumps into no knowing where its will take her*
-
You find yourself in a completely blank room, with dull brown walls. There is no exit. Another riddle echoes around the walls. "I have been many, but known to few. I wear many faces, only one is true. Speak my true name, and I disappear. The moment I'm found, I'm no longer here. I live in the shadows, I die in the light. The answer you seek, lies in plain sight. What am I?"
-
"Hmm its a riddle?" Leyla asks
-
"Quite correct. The answer to the riddle, is a riddle!" The walls fall away, leaving you standing on a high platform, suspended by apparently nothing, high in the sky. You see an open topped ship, sailing through the sky beneath. The platform begins to crumble slowly.
-
*leyla times her jump as platform collapses beneath her as she jumps in the nick of time landing in the ship with a thud*
-
Immediately, the crew turns and looks at you, several of them drawing gleaming silver pistols. "Where'd you come from?" One of them asks, frightened.
-
[i]leyla says nothing but she points towards the sky [/i]
-
"Impossible! No one comes from above the clouds!" One of them stutters.
-
"Well i did through a strange portal "leyla says calmly [i]she watches them careful[/i]
-
One who looks like he is in command steps forward. "Wherever you came from, my question is, who are you? And what do you want on my ship?"
-
"Name is leyla and i mean you know harm" she say
-
The man narrows his eyes, and evidently judges your character, he motions and his crew puts away their weapons. He motions to follow him, and walks inside a door on the ship.
-
[i]leyla follows not know what to expect and wondering where she is at [/i]
-
The man leads you inside, and sits down at a table. "Look lady," he lilts, his accent unrecognized, "I don't know where you came from, or why. To put it frankly, I don't trust you. But either way, you came at about the most inopportune time possible. We're about to head to the Kraziel."
-
"Well if i could go back to where i came from i would but as far as i know there isn't . So i guess for the time being im stuck here and im not happy about either. "She says crossing her arms
-
The man quirks an eyebrow. "You must not be from anywhere near here. That portal theory is sounding mighty plausible now. You had no reaction when I mentioned Kraziel."
-
"Well im not and have map to prove it" she says [i]leyla then reachs into the pouch on her belt pulls out a map that has all earths lands on it even the island where she originally came from before she to the dojo. She holds it out for him to look at.[/i] "This is a map of where im from. I wouldn't have even shown up here if never messed with strange scroll and answered the riddles correctly" she says
-
The man raises an eyebrow. "A scroll you say?" He chuckles. "You've gotten yourself into a whole mess of trouble now, haven't you. To put it simply, Kraziel is the capital city, and rests in the center of a massive permanent storm. Most trade is done through cramped underground tunnels, but I'm carrying an important message to the..." He cuts himself off, sternly, angry at his big mouth. "Suffice to say, we have to fly through that storm. And no one has made it through in hundreds of years. Many have tried. By land, air and sea, searching for a better route. Only one has ever returned. Legends say there are pirates in the storm."
