"You see a dark underground temple; you are kneeling, praying for the safety of the planet. You smile as a friend joins you in the dark – but suddenly a shadow falls over you from above, and a stabbing pain...",
"It is midnight; you are in an underground cavern deep inside the desert ruins. Slowly, as if half-asleep, you wander up the spiral pathway, towards the ancient vase at its center. As you reach out to touch it...",
"The old castle smells of mildew and swamp gas. It has not been used in centuries, but you were here before, when the world was young. You turn to face your companions – but something is wrong with all three; an ancient force has possessed them...",
"As you put the horn to your lips, you feel winds flowing, gathering, condensing in your chest. Soon, you can no longer contain it; the storm unleashes through your mouth, into a deafening fanfare. The black dome around you begins to crack...",
"You are alone inside your head, confined by the laughing man's circlet. Powerless, you witness how your hands shoot out flame after flame, incinerating innocents for that man's experiments...",
"The village may be in ruins, but it must have been where you grew up. The engravings on the walls – images of powerful beasts – look strangely familiar, and you can make out writing, words about you, wishes and prayers for you... You are at home...",
"Deep underneath the city, the rocky cavern maze turns into an opulent palace. This must be where the beast of the many eyes resides. Nervously you grip the wand; will the power to repel it be sufficient to defeat it and its magic?",
"At the bottom of the abyss, infinity opens before you. You have proven yourself worthy, and the ancient finally reveals its wisdom...",
"You may only be children, but you recognize that it is this man only who can save the world. As the walls rush towards you to crush your small group, you exchange a glance with your twin sister – there is no doubt what you must do...",
"The sacred place is surrounded by nothingness; were it not for your magic, you would have no hope of returning. The old and young man stands nearby; he has been waiting for you, for centuries. He has all the time in the world, after all...",
"Nothing remains behind. The underground castle is empty now, its chambers plundered, its throne destroyed. Shivering, you climb down the stairs, towards the wailing of the underworld that is waiting beneath...";
