I am Miku, the Pythoness. My job is to make sure no one passes through these doors under any circumstances. The reason is, beyond these doors are the Dragon and the Diva. In order to keep peace, the Diva must sing the Dragon to sleep.
Legend says the Dragon came of another world; it wreaked harvoc across the land. The kings and queens of all the kingdoms rallied their solders to defeat this savage beast, but despite their efforts, they were utterly defeated. Then one day, an oracle met the rulers. She told them, the Dragon cannot sleep, we must find a Diva in order to restore harmony. They searched far and wide, and found her. Her voice was so beautiful it could tame the beast, but such a voice comes at a price. She was fated to sing her life away to the beast. When the Diva dies, she must be replaced; thus, it starts the Dragon System.
I look up towards the blue ceiling of the cave. The cave glows and pulses with life, but it's fainter than usual. And, I can feel it, the Diva has died.
