They look at each other. The second one says:
"Well... I'll answer the last question first. The little box you
pressed the button on... That was a Portal Box. Specifically, the
Black Portal of the 13 Souls. Any mortal that touches it without the
Magic Gloves are condemned to go to Blaqqavoyd. Touching it realeses
the 13 Souls of Doom. They haunted all of Moodara for hundreds of
years, until finally, a wizard named Getafix captured them in the
Portal Box. Before they went in, they made a curse- all who opened it,
pressed the button- were transported here. A portal opened in your
realm, and all who get near are sucked in. The Souls are also taken
back into this realm. The only way to close the portal is to capture
the souls- almost kill them, then push the button, and then get the
Black Portal Box Lever. You connect that to the portal box, push it,
and the portal is closed. The souls are also sealed inside, and the
box sent back to it's origianal place. If you do this within six
months of the opening, you are not sent to Blaqqavoyd. If not, you ARE
sent to Blaqqavoyd, and the souls continue to haunt. About the Forest
of the Oopaloosa's..." he looks at the other hippie, and the
first one takes the second ones place.
"The cow you met- Jenny- heard you came, and also HOW. Her
friend, a human witch- a good one, fotunately- has been captured. We
do not know by who. It is especially important because she protects
anyone from entering a door in Mirror Land. This door leads to the
headquarters of the Non-Magic Human Hero-assignement Company. This
gives special weapons off to heroes, and good ones who need it. If
sent into the wrong hands, it could cause theives and, even worse,
souls, these weapons. This would cause disaster."
The hippies change place again.
"The pen that Jenny gave you? It's a Hero-Pen. It has powers that
you can't even imagine. YOU are a hero. You must close the portal,
capture the Souls, and free Jenny's freind!!"
A bell rings. You luck around. There is an old woman ringing a bell,
and shouting "Grub! Grub!". The hippies look that direction
and rub their stomachs.
"Well, whoa, dude! Already? Well, see ya, man, we gotta go!
Dinner's on! By the way, what's your name?"
You tell them your name.
"Like, cool name, man!!! Totally grooved out!! My name is
Gabriel, and my brother's name is Dylan. Remember that! I'll remember
yours. If ou need us, we'll just be around here! See ya, dude!!"
With that, they jog over to the lighted doorway that the old woman is
standing at. The step inside and disapear. Then, you look at your
surroundings more. The ground is swirling, the sky is black. All
around are people milling about. Also all around are doorways- not
normal doorways. Like a portal. You step inside, you're sent to some
other place. You canput your hand through one side, and it won't come
out the other.
What do you do?
"But... Where's Mirror Land? And why would I want to know where
the Forest of the Oopaloosa's is, anyway?"
