Welcome. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Silvinisy, a silver and black dragon from Mysteria. I am also the Guildmaster of the Healers Guild. Let me tell you why I am here.
I was sitting in a big comfy chair in my study reading a book on Druidry. Knowing I was alone in the house, I was puzzled when I heard a feminine voice calling me to come and join them. Putting the book down, I walked around the house but couldn't see anyone. Deciding that it was my imagination, I went back to my book.
The voice was back. It was urging me to come and meet them. I put the book back down and walked to the door. The only other place it could be coming from was outside. I opened the door, and instead of seeing the front yard and street as usual, there was a shimmering haze.
Through the haze I could make out the outline of a building. As I looked closely at the haze, a figure dressed in long green robes stepped through and walked up to me.
"Welcome." It was the voice I had heard inside the house.
"Who....What...." I stammered
"All will be explained inside. Come and join us." The figure pointed to a fiery portal. "Just step through the portal and you will see."
Fascinated by the flames, and unable to contain my curiosity, I walked nearer. To my surprise, the flames gave off no heat. Giving in to my curiosity, I stepped through.
I was falling. Eternity in the blink of an eyelid.
I opened my eyes. In front of me now was the building I had seen through the haze. On a sign above the door it said "The GroggyGremlin Inn".
As I was studying my surroundings, the green robed figure stepped in front of me. Small delicate hands reached up and pushed back the hood, revealing a face surrounded by flame red hair.
"Welcome to Mysteria," she said with a smile. "This is the Inn where we all meet to have a chat."
"Who's we?" I ask curiously.
"We, who like you, have come from another world to this one. Why don't you come in and meet some of the others." With this she walks to the door and enters.
Not knowing what else to do, I followed.
The room I entered was large, with a fire burning in a hearth on the wall to my right. A bar occupied the wall to my left. The far wall was taken up with a staircase leading up to another floor.
The room was filled with tables and benched, most of which were empty.
The one whom I had followed here was now seated at one of the tables with two others. She gestured for me to come over and take a seat.
Once I had seated myself, she started to speak again. "Let me introduce myself and my companions." "I am Diamond Lightfoot, a druid here in Mysteria. This here," pointing to the blonde haired, blue eyed female seated opposite her, "is Vixen Lightfingers, thief extraodinaire. And this," indicating the other red head at the table, "is Brianna Dreamwalker, warrior, prophet and leader of our group."
Both Vixen and Brianna greeted me warmly as Diamond called to the innkeeper for another mug of ale.
Once this had been brought over, Brianna started to speak.
She told me about Mysteria's history. She then explained who they were and why they were here. At the end of her tale, silence fell. I sat and thought about all that I had been told. I realised that I felt drawn to this land and the people in it.
I turned to Brianna. "If you are willing to have another companion, I would like to stay."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, there is nothing for me at home. I can be of help here."
"Thankyou. You are welcome to join us. I will take you to Darius's Keep. There you will go through the process of joining us. When you emerge, you will have adapted to Mysteria."
Darius's Keep is where all newcomers who decide to stay go. The process of adaptation occurs in the Hall if Meditation.
When I emerged from my meditation, I was the silver and black dragon you see before you now.
Well, that is my story. Mysteria is always open to visitors and we always welcome new members to help fight the evil. All you need do is go through the portal below. See you in Mysteria.
