A man walked, alone, through the dark, eerie stone brick halls. He clutched his sword tightly in one hand, a torch in the other. He jumped at every little noise and relit the torch before it was even close to burning out. He wasn't taking any chances with this place. It had a creepy sense to it.
The man was forced to stop when he encountered a set of iron doors. He waved the torch around, searching for a button or lever of some kind. He spun around three times searching for it. After the third turn, he sighed. This was obviously a dead en- wait.
A small, stone button now sat on the wall where none had been before. The man looked behind him before finally pressing the button. The iron doors opened with a click, and the man walked in.
The room was filled with stone bricks – no surprise there – and some sort of white, crumbly stone. He bent down to study the rock. When he was on the floor, holding a piece, he looked and realized that the door had shut. He jumped up and looked around for a button, but there was none to be found.
He stopped his frantic search when he came across a wall, covered in ancient drawings and symbols. Under a few lines, there was a message.
"To get the sword, go to a place,
Where the floor is hard stone, white.
A great dark serpent, you must face,
And break the crystals, with fire, alight."
The man didn't know what sword was being talked about, but he decided that he'd go and find out when a wall opened up, revealing a portal frame with green, glowing eyes in the slots. Black goo was stretched through the inside of the frame. The man jumped in and disappeared.
He reappeared standing on a small cube of obsidian. There was a floating island made of that white rock like he found in the portal room. He looked, but saw no way off the island. Well, not a way that didn't end in death. There appeared to be no ground; the man could see right into the void.
He found his way off – maybe not how he would have liked – when a giant tail smacked him off the cube of obsidian and into the darkness below. The dragon chuckled darkly and flew back to its cave, challenging another player to try and slay him.
YEAH first story! It's just a really short one-shot because… I don't know. I just didn't feel like a whole story JUST yet…
