A Mysterious New World
Prologue
By Chessrook44
Chesrook: I've seen it done before, so since this is my first series (I
have another one on hold) I've decided to do the talk with others. So, I
have with me my best friend, Lister.
Lister: Hello, everyone!
Chesrook: .and, of course, Sakura!
Sakura: Hi!
Chesrook: Anyway, this is the Prologue, so it explains how they got. where
they're going to be. Be sure to read it!
'.Li swings his sword, but misses the creature he's aiming for. The creature laughs in his face, swings its sword, and with a single swipe, chops of Li's head. His head rolls along the floor, a frightened expression on his face.'
"Well. that's bad."
"Ha! About time that brat got what he needed!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!! LI! WHY? WHY? WHY?"
"Meilin, will you please stop trying to crush my lungs? It's just a game!"
Meilin opened her eyes. She was hugging Li -with his head still tightly on his shoulders- quite hard. Next to her, Madison was looking at her with a worried look on her face. Next to Madison, Kero was rolling around on the floor, laughing hard. In front of her was the game board. And across from the board.
"YOU!!!!" Meilin screamed as she dived across the board straight for Sakura, her hands wrapping around Sakura's throat. "HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU LET HIM DIE LIKE THAT?!?! HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM?!?!"
"Meilaaakkk. Meiaaaakkkk. Maaaakkk."
2 minutes later, after Li, Kero, and Madison had pried Meilin off of Sakura and Sakura had caught her breath, Sakura said, "Meilin, please! It's just a game! I-"
"But. but. it's not fair!" Meilin said.
"Meilin, it's all luck! I don't control it! It's all the luck of the roll! Dungeons & Dragons was meant to be as fair as possible. You can't always win!"
"But. but." Meilin crossed her arms in anger. "It's still not fair," she muttered.
"Maybe we should stop playing now, guys. Meilin might. well." Madison said.
"Good idea. We'll stop for today and come back next week, ok?" Sakura said.
"Sure, Sakura. But I'm just curious."
"Yes, Madison?"
"Well, you're always the Dungeon Master for the game. You were never an actual player. If you were, what would you be?"
"Oh, well. I'd be a beautiful, tall elven sorceress. With long, flowing brown hair, and-"
"Yeah yeah, I think we get the picture," Meilin interrupted.
Sakura glared at her. "Right. Well, I'll put the game away. See you guys la-"
Sakura stopped and stared at the game board, as did everyone else. A tiny, yellow light was rising from the board. It froze in midair, and for a moment, Sakura thought she felt the sensation of falling.
Then, she knew no more.
Chesrook: There! The prologue of my first series is done! Don't worry, I'll get to work on Part 1 soon. By the way, what did you guys think? Lister: Interesting. A bit shorter than your other stories, but what was that light anyway? Chesrook: Ah, you'll have to wait for episode one to find that out! Or maybe longer! Ha ha! Sakura: But what about the people who don't know what Dungeons and Dragons is? Chesrook: Ever seen an RPG where you control a party of characters or just one character in a party of characters through a medieval setting fighting monsters and collecting gold and fame? Sakura/Lister: Yes. Chesrook: There you go! They're basically the same thing! Sakura/Lister: . Chesrook: Well, I'll see everyone later! Oh, and here's a tip for you beginning writers: before you start writing, think of all the things you want to write about. Then, after you've chosen one, think about what you're going to write in your spare time for a few days. Once you've finished figuring out what you're going to write, write it! Seeya!
