Canis's heart

[soulping]

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

You choose the sparkling circle. Your outfit abruptly changes into a white, light clothing - it's cheap, but it does look nice, and you're given a white cloak as well. The stone turns into a book, hovering in the air for you to grab.

[oh, well, he guesses he'd better reach out and take it, then]

You equip the book. You're compelled to support your companions - and your enemies alike; no person doesn't deserve to be cared about, and when you take the mantle of the ACOLYTE, you swear to be the backup of your party, the final barrier between them and death.

You can use one spell: COMFORT.

Once you've chosen the stone and equipped your item, the circular platform glows even more brightly - blindingly bright, and you're compelled to cover your eyes. When you next open them, you find yourself . . . lying down in grass.

It's peaceful; the sky is blue, the clouds are rolling by gently, and it seems to be early afternoon. For some reason music plays in the background, ever present but not entirely obnoxious, and you can hear the faint bustling of a town, of people.

Where are you. . . ?
