By clicking on this story you have just opened the door to a large stone structure. You walk into the dark musty hallways of an unfamiliar environment. lights begin to flicker on above you. From what you can see this place hasn't seen use for years, you somewhat fear it crumbling around you. Your friends stand behind you, you brought them here following the rumors.

You pass down, further through the hall. Along the way you see furnishings. Furnishings not native to the building, in fact, they look new as if someone had just began to renovate this place. The hard stone floors echo your footsteps as you move to a door at the end of the hallway, lights shining, welcoming on the other side. You peek through to see a number of others, much like yourself who are here for a similar purpose. You open it and receive somewhat uncomfortable glances from the others in the room who feel the same as you. Each one of them with friends of their own making by their sides, much like yourself. Perhaps you have only come to watch. Perhaps you are here to become a part of it yourself.

Regardless you take a seat on a hard wooden bench lacking a back rest. You peer around the room at the others, observing their many states of mind. You notice a large black chair behind a thick oak desk, the chair turned to you. On the desk is a stack of stationary and a quill basking in a vial of ink. You notice a gold plate sitting on the desk, It reads Kalgante.

You may take a moment to ask yourself why you had come. Before you finish however the black chair turns around. A shadowy, hooded figure is sitting there, a grin across his face, above that you can see no more. Leaning against him, on his lap is a blue and red raccoon, one of his own friends, she slumbers against his chest as he observes you. You stare in silence for a time, not knowing what is to come next. Then the figure begins to speak.

"Welcome all. My name is Kalgante. I am a writer, and a reader, much like you all. I came across this hallowed structure only recently. I have taken the liberty of reshaping it to create a place of excitement for you all. You have answered my call and whether you're here to watch or participate I welcome you. This my friends is the proving grounds. Here the friends you chose to offer shall be pitched in epic battles across all reaches of the globe. They will fight for glory and honor with whatever they can. They will fight solo, they will fight on teams, they will fight horrors beyond your wildest dreams. I shall leave their destiny to fate and let come what may. You need only watch and hope for the best for your friend. Some may see battle more than once, others I may return from the grave to fight again. You all remember your envelopes don't you. Read and decide which path you chose. I shall await your decisions."

You suddenly remember a letter. One that had come from unknown origin. You remove it from your pocket as do the others in the room and begin to read.
