You are suddenly transported to realm, where, throughout the winds of magic and time, your wildest dreams and fantasies merge to become one of a real life. You are standing in the foyer of an old castle. It's musty smell is old yet celtic and soothing. Abruptly, and without warning that she was even there, in front of you is a sleek elven woman with silver hair that rests lightly upon her shoulders. Her dark brown eyes stare intently at you, and you are lost in a sea of mystery and awe as you watch her plum colored robes glide with an unseen wind around her.

Greetings, and welcome to my humble abode. My name is Cailida Starr, Renegade Mage from the outskirts of the elven forests. You look fatigued from your journey, traveler; please, have a seat."

A red, velvet cushioned chair instantly appears with a flick of her wrist behind you. Startled yet intrigued, you slowly sit down.

"There you are. Now, I wonder how you stumbled upon my castle."

She holds up her hand suddenly, cutting you off, her silver hair glinting off the candle light.

"No, nevermind that. So many do in the most unpredictable ways. But I'm glad you did. Exploring is the first and fore most way to being a traveler in the realms of fantasy...and eventually even becoming a hero."

She smiles at you, mysteriously, as if beholding some phenomenal secret.

"That is fine. You may explore all you want. If you need anything, just call and I will asist you."

The elf mage flicks her wrist, and in a moment you are surrounded by a rainy mist. When it dissipates you find yourself alone in the darkness.
