This is an idea I just came up with...I hope Chance will approve...
Scenario I
As you take your evening stroll through the woods, a soft light appears before you, just out of reach. You pause, and reach out to it, but it dances away from you, tinkling like a soft bell as it moves. You can feel its warmth, a respite from the chilling early spring air. You want it. You begin to walk toward it, hand outstretched. Always, it dances just beyond your reach.
You follow it, unaware of where you are going. Soon, it grows dark, and the only source of light is the small sphere eluding your grasp, and tinkling like a bell.
Suddenly, the trees open up into a clearing. The lights darts to the middle of it, and rises just above you. You run after it, now having no idea where you are, but not caring. All you care about is the light...
You reach up to it, and try to jump up to get it, but it's just too high.
A soft, deep chuckle pierces the air, a supplement for the tinkling that stopped when the light stopped. You freeze, fear slowly overtaking you. The chuckle grows louder, and soon the entire alcove rings with malicious laughter. You try to escape, you you cannot move your legs. Head snapping down, you see that your ankles are secured to the ground with chains, but...these aren't normal chains. They seem to be made of your own shadow, cast directly downward by the light above you. You struggle helplessly, and more chains reach up from yur shadow, encircling your wrists and pulling them down, immobilizing you.
You try to yell, but the only sound you can manage is a hoarse whisper that is quickly drowned out by the laughing.
A figure steps out of the treeline in front of you, seeming to emerge from the shadows themselves. You blink. It must have been a trick of the light...or lack thereof.
The figure walks slowly toward you, and its laughter stops. The light of the orb above you illuminates its face, and you can see it clearly. It is a man, about six to eight inches taller than you. He has...jet black hair with crimson streaks, and matching crimson eyes that flash dangerously in the light. His malevolent smile reveals sharp, elongated canine teeth, to sharp to be normal...
He speaks. "Greetings, foolish mortal..." His voice is deep and enchanting. It calms you, even though you are trapped. Almost as though he's putting a spell on you...
"My name...is...Kratos. And you...have walked right my trap. Now...I will give you one chance to free yourself."
Your eyes widen as you stare into his. "Wh...what happens if I...I don't get free?"
Kratos' smile broadens, the light from the orb glinting on his canines. You're now certain that they are fangs.
"I suggest that you do not think of what may happen then...Now...You must answer but one riddle. Do you think you are up to it?"
You nod vigorously. Anything to get away from here. Your heart races as you wait for the challenge.
"You must answer but one riddle. Are you ready?"
You tense. A riddle?? There must be something more...
-------------
PM me if you want to continue this story. I'll PM you the riddle, and, depending on your answer, I will create and ending to the story. Just tell me which Scenario you want. Sound like fun?
I'll give a new scenario each week, or whenever I have time.
Good luck to all, and may all your endings be happy!
Muahahahahah....
