Chapter I: The bright orb
Once upon a time, it doesn't really matter which time, an old, little dwarf ran upon an ancient stairway. Ancient but not with any signs of time written on it. The stairs led him to the majestic throne room. The room from where his king governed his kingdom, the underground.
When the dwarf entered the room he was breathing heavily. It seemed he had a very important message to announce, but the king didn't notice him. The king sat on his trone with a letter in his gloved hands, an old letter written centuries ago, but still the words filled him with strong emotions as if it was the first time he read it. No wonder he didn't notice his loyal servant.
-"Uhmm … your majesty?" the dwarf said.
The king was surprised to see the dwarfin front him.
-"Yes Hoggle? Why are you disturbing me?" the king said.

-"How can somebody call me with no words? They have to use my name and by the way, how can somebody wish something without any doubt in their mind if they do not dare to speak out the words aloud? And purple you said? It can not be.." the king said.
The king left the room with sparkles of magic en rematerialized in the castle's highest tower. The tower where the Orb of Crystal was kept save.
The king saw the dwarf was right. The orb was glowing in a bright purple color and he heard no words but somebody obviously wished for his presence. The king became very curious but also a little afraid although he would never admit that. He decided to transfer in his owl form and have a look at the person who was calling this loud. It had been ten years since the last call was made so he really needed some action, any kind of action.
So he went…
