DB: Explore the area around your house, try to make contact with those damned ponies.
Sounds good. The lush rolling fields that surround your home, however, are separated from you by a waist high fence around your home. Normally, this would be no problem at all, but, somehow, despite your best efforts, you cannot get over it. It would appear that some magical force has rendered it insurmountable. Weird.
Two ponies notice you, however, and trot up to you. The orange one addresses you, while her deep blue companion remains silent.
"Hey there! My name is Twinkle Star! And this is my friend, Midnight Stroll! It's nice to meet you. Would you like to be friends?"Oh, and here comes your philosopher sprite. It seems he wants a word.
BM: Do a sweet flash animation where DB, RL, and AL all get talked to by their sprites.You wish. I don't even
have flash animator.
RL: Mess around with the gear in your house, then sit down for a chat with Snakesprite.
You mess around with some of your stuff, but you mostly just end up littering your home with more of those cruxite dowels. Also, you've worked out that the punch designix has something to do with the codes on the back of your captcha cards. It seems your sprite wants to talk to you about something though.
Snake-sprite: Danielle, take a sssssseat. We have much to dissssssscussssss.
AL: Converse with Kamina-spriteKamina-Sprite: Ah, good work Alex. I was getting bored, sitting on the wall there. Are you ready?
AL: uh, for what?
Kamina-Sprite: Alright Alex, dig the wax out of those ears and listen up! You and your house were transported to this world, The Land of Pearls and Volcanoes, for a purpose. You will stop the agents of Derse, and lay low the Black King, and take hold of Skaia!
Al: huh? what? slow down, i'm lost.
Kamina-Sprite: Your friend is gonna build up your house so you can pierce the heavens! Those gates above your house are the ticket to gathering up your buddies, and stopping Derse from getting its mitts on Skaia!
AL: i'm still confused. maybe you could back up a bit? what is skaia?
Kamina-Sprite: *sigh* Okay. Here's the way it is. There is this world, Skaia. It is orbited by two great powers. Prospit, the Kingdom of the Light, and Derse, the Kingdom of Darkness. They have always been locked in eternal conflict, one never being able to beat the other. That was, until your friend, Danielle, entered the Medium.
AL: you mean rl?
Kamina-Sprite: Yeah, her. Anyway, when she entered with her Sprite, some of its powers went to Prospit, Derse, and Skaia. The shape of Skaia itself changed, and now, both Prospit and Derse are better equipped to make war on each other. As more and more of your friends enter, it will become more complex, and each side more powerful. There's a problem though. The Kingdom of the Light, Prospit, is doomed.
AL: oh no!
Kamina-Sprite: Don't fear! Your axe is the Axe that will Pierce The Heavens! You and your friends have the power to stop the Dersites in their tracks, and save Skaia!
AL: how?
Kamina-Sprite: You build! Get each of your friends through each of their gates. Each world has something to offer each of you, and when you reach the Final Gate, you will come upon the Battlefield, where you will face the Black King. Then, all you gotta do is crush the guy!
AL: i'm not sure i can. i'm not that strong...
Kamina-Sprite: Alex! Don't be afraid! Believe in me, who believes in you! When you reach the Black King, you will be able to destroy him! Do you believe me?
AL: i... Yes!
