You walk cautiously into the Shoikan Grove. Fear
grips you as you hear the whisperings of the living dead beneath your feet and
from above. But even though you are intimadated by those you fear the most, you
hold the Nightjewel (a gift sent to you by one unknown) high above your head,
letting its unseen light shine upon the things that jabber and cackle all around
you. You know with the protection of this dark charm that nothing can harm you.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, you run out of the terrifying Grove
and come to stand before the infamous Tower of High Sorcery. Turning around, you notice a
young man clad in velvet black robes sitting upon a large stone formation near the end of
the path in the shadows. A slight smile plays upon his lips. He carries a staff topped
with a golden dragon's claw clutching a crystal. By the appearance of his long white hair,
golden skin, and hourglass eyes, you know you are staring straight at--
"Greetings, and I bid you welcome to my Tower," the
archmage whispers in his soft voice. "I am Raistlin Majere, Master of the Past
and Present. It was I who sent you the Nightjewel to guide you through the Shoikan
Grove. I will take you upon a tour of my Tower and there you will learn the histories
of the Heroes of the Lance and much more. Come." Rising, he gestures and the two of you walk
inside as the doors open.
