Voice: So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be
afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?
The boy takes a few slow steps forward. A light shines down from above as a large
stone pedestal rises from the platform in a shower of light and magic. The boy turns
toward it. A red shield blinks into existence, floating above it
Voice: Power sleeps within you...
Another pedestal rises from the platform, a blue staff floating above it. He turns
around to face it
Voice: If you give it form...
A third pedestal appears in front of the boy, who turns toward it. A metal sword
appears in midair
Voice: It will give you strength.
The boy stares ahead at all three
Voice: Choose well.
The boy runs over to the staff and holds it in his hands
Voice: The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and
ruin. Is this the power you seek?
????: Yes.
Suddenly, the staff vanished from his hand
Voice: Your path is set.
The boy turned around to face the other two weapons
Voice: Now, what will you give up in exchange?
The boy approaches the sword and holds it up
Voice: The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of
terrible destruction. You give up this power?
????: Yes.
The sword disappeared
Voice: You've chosen the power of the mystic. You've given up the
power of the warrior. Is this the form you choose?
????: Yes.
The three stones suddenly sink into the floor, knocking the boy back onto the
platform. The ground rumbles and he looks around. The edges of the platform crumble off
and the platform shatters. The boy falls through darkness and lands on another platform,
this time depicting a girl in a beautiful silver ball gown. The staff appears in his
hand
Voice: You gained the power to fight.
He slashes at the air
Voice: All right! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself
and others.
Shadows appear
Voice: There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning
strong.
The boy fights off the Shadows. They fade back into the floor. One crawls around to
his back
Voice: Behind you!
The boy defeats all of the Shadows. A black void appears in the center of the platform
and he is sucked into it. He bats the darkness away and wakes up on a multicolored
platform with three silhouettes. He sees a door near the platform edge and walks toward
it, examining it
????: I can't open it...
A treasure chest appears and he opens it. He turns around and a large crate and barrel
appear. He smashes these items and opens the door. Light floods out from it and he walks
through, squinting his eyes through the bright light. He arrives on a small island
bridge where three kids stand quietly waiting
