Okay, So I’m here.
I still fail to understand, but I’m here. I don’t know what I’m doing here, though. I hear a distant voice. Who is that? Its telling me to step forward. Yes, I can walk, obviously; I have legs, don’t I? Damn. And now its telling me I’ve agreed the this “dangerous task” ahead of me. Yeah, if I honestly would have agreed to such a dangerous task, I wouldn’t be here. Sorry, ghost buddy, but you’ve got me mixed up with someone I’m obviously not. But I don’t understand. Who is this beautiful maiden? What does she have to do with me? …I still don’t understand any of this, and this voice I keep hearing is not even helping the slightest-
The door is opening.
What? What are you saying? I don’t even understand—-
Rumbling? Why is this thing trembling!? Oh my goodness, please don’t tell me the pillar is about to collapse! Is this it? Am I going to die now? In my sleep!? I cant believe this is— It stopped. And now… three statues stand before me. A mage, a plaldin, and a knight. They’re stone, but they’re holding real… weapons? Three weapons. A staff, a shield, and a sword, respectively. Well, this just took a really weird turn. Where the hell did three stone statues come from a stained-glass pillar!?
Power sleeps within you. If you give it form, it will give you strength.
…Power? I don’t understand. Power is not in me. Nor does it sleep. I’m sleeping. Don’t you understand?
