Darkness. Blackness.

Dim.

Suddenly, light.

You blink rapidly, and try to remember how you got here.

[Who are you? What do you like? What are you carrying? What's the last thing you remember?]

[Answer these questions. Your answers will shape this realm.]

Guna 'Marcus' Godkiln is not a hero, and wants to become one.

He is a flailing probably-Indian-or-analogous occultist wearing orange, who wished for power, and loved innovation and surprises. He was carrying the Angry Scroll and something extremely flammable, but indiscernible even when directly referenced.

The last thing he remembers is the building being on fire, and scrabbling at the exit door with a mysterious symbol on it. The next is the long fall, and the long rise through the loading blackness with wisps of smoke.

The blackness subsides, and leaves only a fading memory of the voices heard.

But yet, somehow, it persists, perhaps to acclimate others...?





YOUR

NAME

IS

Guna 'Marcus' Godkiln.

You are in a library. Water flows in a translucent pipe overhead, flowing elsewhere. SCROLLS litter the walls, and they are peaceful, rather than angry. A large MAP is spread across a slanted desk to your left.

There appears to be at least one other being flitting through these halls- you can hear its wings.

What will you do?

Marcus aims to identify the immediate situation: a few glances around the room and above to verify the flapping thing is not an immediate obstacle, and then....

The map.

What have we here? he thinks, moving over.

(Relatedly, which direction is the water most likely flowing towards?)

The flapping is not nearby- it appears to be receding in the general northward direction, which also happens to be the same direction the water is flowing.

You examine the map. It is mostly incomplete- there appears to be space for several other adjourning countries or regions.

The only complete region appears to be covered in stylized flames. There is a single caption scrawled into the corner next to it.

300 years ago, Echattel was stolen by bats.

The flapping appears to be getting closer, now.

Marcus approaches the incoming target, but is actually seeking a way to avoid confrontation and some not-dead-end ways to go around the shelves along the way. Perhaps there is another way out somewhere among the stacks of scrolls.

The flapping continues near, and as you approach the entrance, a demon-esque girl rounds the corner, flapping her wings to hover above the ground. She startles, nearly crashing before righting herself.


???: Oh! A hero from the legends! You've arrived!

"Hi, what's going on?"

The first greeting of a hero in this world, and a request for more information delivered with a smile.

That's totally how heroes show up outta nowhere in confusion, right?

Let's let this lady talk first, she's probably got a better idea.

???: Right, uh, one second.

She takes flight again, maneuvering upwards to a large, blue-covered book. She struggles with it for a bit, before taking hold and immediately spiraling down to the ground, bashing into a shelf of scrolls on the way.


???: ow
???: Er... I'm Memphis.
MEMPHIS: Normally Scrollmaster Ifrit would be telling you about everything, but he's been missing for a couple days.
MEMPHIS: It's a long story,
MEMPHIS: Uh, before I can tell you this, I have to ask you a question, for magical binding reasons.
MEMPHIS: ...
MEMPHIS: Do you accept what will happen to you?

"No." Marcus says flatly.

dude what

really just gonna go reject things like that wow okay

"I don't like binding without knowing what's gonna happen. Why the disclaimer without the disclaiming?"

oh okay it's one of those things where you don't just give fairies your name

still rude tho.
