[In an undisclosed location, a young man wanders a dark cave, only carrying an old book and an oil lantern.

Soon, he comes upon a crystal, encased inside is a young woman. Her skin is a pale green, this is who the man was looking for.]

[The man sits and opens the book, reading a passage from it quietly.
He is too focus to notice the message carved into the side]


"My dearest lady Medusa, He sacrificed himself for you, I'm sorry.
But you still have work to do, the gods had a secret weapon, but we cannot find the box.
We have sealed you untill the war ends, but as soon as you awaken, find it and destroy the things inside.

- Vlad"

Yeah yeah who cares that object you picked up is magic just rub it onto to someone else they'll hear us. Just give 'em a good old rub.
How old are you? The description says boy but that can be from 5-19, you look maybe 15? I dunno, listen, soon shit is going to go down so I hope your age doesn't limit your independence and what you can do.

Also, hey, are you in the industrial revolution or the information revolution or somewhere in between? When I mean industrial, I mean are there factories and production at mass level? And by information I mean portable telephones and easy access to almost any information without having to go to a damn library. Something like the internet, if you've heard of it.

Kit: This box is magic? that sounds kinda cool, I hope it isn't dangerous or something.

I am 15, and no, that doesn't limit me much as far as law is concerned.

And is you're asking for technology, well, we're pretty advanced in terms of tech, there's alot of new things coming out everyday, I guess now that the war is over, people are putting technology to other things besides weapons...

Kit: Um, lets see...

[He pauses for a bit.]

Kit: Well, I think the thing everyone wants right now are those techpads that can browse the web and video chat.

And the Thousand-Year war? that ended a few, maybe 10 years ago? um, I don't think that was the one with the gods though, it was the one that one lady, uh...Medusa caused.

And this box is locked pretty tight. I've been trying to open it for a few days, now that it's talking to me I really want to see whats inside.

Somebody was here recently and you need to find them so searching for them.
The very reason I didn't right out to you that everyone you is dead is because...
1.)I'm not really if that's true.
2.)It'd make depressed like you are right now
and finally...
3.)If it did happen I want to make sure that you're prepared for it.

1. What else do you think would happen? Medusa seals Boxxy, quest ends, everyone lives happily ever after? Or Boxxy does absolutely nothing despite being a very hungry elder evil? This isn't exactly a best case scenario.

2. True, but letting him suddenly find his ruined hometown and then going "we knew this would happen but didn't tell you" would be worse. There's really no way not to be depressed by this except self delusion and/or heavy emotional repression.

3. Yeah.
