A brilliant white flash envelopes your senses, blinding
but strangely comforting. You begain to hear welcoming voices calling
to your spirit, envigorating you. Confused but calm, you attempt
to glance around you, only to find yourself drowning in visions
that flood through all senses known to you. You see noble men and
women gathered at a great Iron Table, faces poised on some goal,
a bond between them so obvious that it would not be hard to convince
you they had a telepathic link. Just as you become engulfed in the
gathering and brilliance of the Iron Table, the vision fades, replaced
by another.
Your feelings of awe and admiration, of curiosity and anxiety,
are all quickly washed away by a vision not nearly as pleasant.
Every scream, every cry, every unanswered call for help rip through
your soul like the claws of a deathspirit through a ship rat. You
try to stifle a cry, but realize your own agony lends itself to
the pleas and torments of the others. About you lay bodies, hundreds
of them, perhaps thousands, most mutilated and disfigured. Falling
to your knees, you feel sticky red liquid that covers so many acres,
you wander if even a blade of grass still remains. As you glance
to your left, your heart takes a break from its normal task as you
notice a familiar face lying in a pool of crimson life water, arm
torn from its socket and laying across a mail breastplate. You cringe
and feel your insides ready to cough themselves up, but before you
can recognize who the friend or family member is, the vision fades.
Back in the realms of brilliant white light, you pant and perspire
heavily, body fully exhausted. A voice, with the sound of a hundred
voices in chorus, "sings" out to you in a gentle, but
stern tone.
"Those times are returning, noble one. Once again, the Iron
Table must be formed, the Circle reunited."
A vision of 3 dragons appears before you, smiting an evil army
of great stature. A great leader appears with fiery red hair, sitting
atop one of the dragons with a fierce and noble look in his eyes.
Then you see in the heavens a brilliant Circle forming....it seems
endless. As it sprays its magical radiance across the lands, a peace
settles in your soul, and all around you seems to become tranquil
and at ease. The voice speaks again.
"Loyal one, I extend to you a great responsibility, burden,
and blessing all in one." You then see a great hand extend
to you with an image of a Circle with multiple rings hovering over
its palm. It has a magical and powerful aura about it as the Circle
rotates and beckons to you.
" But it is up to you to take it."
