OK, I'll start off by saying that this is a continuation of an unfinished piece, and branches into so many other things. I'm starting with this peice though because, although it's short, it is finished, and as I said, moves into many other things, which will probebly be added over time. Please critique honourably.
- The Diaries of Mindi Fursoul. Published: 978[/ul]
The stories of portal opening up around Tesem had reached a new high recently. People had begun to speak of the end of the world, of the destruction of our continent. It was all very depressing.
A young Nekomata, named Mindi Fursoul, was sitting in a bar, conversing with a robed human. Her hood was down, and her short grey hair was matted with dirt, and cobwebs. Her recent foray into the local tombs almost cost the two their lives. Her tail twitched irritably.
“Dias, why are people so easy to speak of the end of the world?” Mindi asked.
“People always speak of things that frighten them.” Dais replied quickly, “It seems to lessen the fear of it.”
“Well, I’m getting sick of it.” Mindi said, obviously annoyed “I’m gonna look into it.”
Walking outside, she heard a group of people talking about the portals.
“Excuse me?” She said, questioningly, “but where has the latest portal appeared?”
“Just out of town, miss.” The man said, fear in his voice.
“Thanks much.” Mindi said, beginning to follow the man’s pointing finger.
“Mindi!” Dias said, running out of the inn, “You can’t be serious.”
“Of course I am, Dias.” Mindi said calmly, “What do you expect of me?”
Mindi continued to walk out of town, seeing strange clouds in the distance, assuming those to be a portent of the portal. Outside of town, she made her way directly towards the portal. She noticed a strange, yet familier, sight. A strange green oval outline, about the size of a person, standing on nothing. Within the oval, was nothingness. That isn’t to say there was blackness, but simply a void. Mindi moved up to it, and peered inside. All of a sudden, she was pulled forward, by an unknown force. She tumbled straight into the portal. She heard Dais cry out her name, and the portal closed behind her.
“Mindi.” A light voice echoed out of the darkness, “Mindi, why did you go into the portal?”
Mindi thought of this for a moment. She could see nothing around her, but she could see herself, her hands in front of her face. “Who are you?” She said, as she floated in nothingness.
“Me?” the voice said, “oh, you can just call me the Games Master.”
“Do you have any idea how cheesy that sounds?” Mindi asked unconvinced.
“Well, little missy.” The voice retorted, “I haven’t actually seen anyone in for a long time. Up until that strange mage person forced his way in here.”
“The Necromancer!” Mindi exclaimed, “Where did her go! Take me to him!” she was almost shouting into the darkness now.
“Now now, no need to get angry.” The voice said, “I don’t actually know where he went. I have no way of tracking him.” The voice paused for a couple of seconds, “although, you could follow him. Yes, sounds like a fun game.” The voice said triumphantly.
“What?” Mindi started to get a little worried.
“You need to find him. I’ll give you something to bring you back to where you came from, but it will only work once you’ve found him.” The games master said excitedly. “Oh, and before you go, you should know that when you enter a new world, you may gain an item or ability that will aid you in that world.” A new portal opened on Mindi’s left, “Have fun, my little gamer.”
Mindi was pulled through the portal, unaware of where she would land.
