FOOL | Part 1 – A Rough Start
January 4, 2025
My name is Kiria the Lionhearted, but it used to just be Kiria Forman. Then a car came speeding across the crosswalk and I couldn’t get out of the way fast enough.
I woke up locked in a dungeon cell. It was dark and wet. No one else seemed to be around. Was this place abandoned?
How I got here, I don’t know. All I know is I need to get out.
As I wandered around, I found a man crying lightly in a corner. He was holding a broken sword. Upon talking to him, I learned his name was Damien Thorn; he was tasked to watch over a prisoner, but failed because the prisoner had control over air itself and overpowered Damien.
He asked if I could try to help. He said he could sense something special about me. The man was crying because if he went home empty-handed, he would certainly hang.
How could I say no?
I followed the tracks the criminal left behind. Was this an accident or a trap? I didn’t know. Damien followed close behind, though with his sword broken, he was more a cheerleader than a fighter. He had a crossbow, but said he had very little practice with it. That was no help.
We tracked the criminal to a bar in a nearby town. He laughed as we walked in and everyone turned to face us. Turns out a lot of people like this guy. They all lunged at once; I shielded myself with my hands but when I looked back up, a cloud of darkness had each of the people, criminal included, grabbed either by the hands like handcuffs or by the throat; the criminal was grabbed by both.
How did this happen? How did I do this?
I took the criminal and the other thugs to some kind of law enforcement, warning them about the criminal’s power. They took me seriously, I think, because they covered his hands fully in a ball of metal and gagged him.
Whatever happened in the bar… I hope I can manage to control it…
That’s the first quest done! I plan on playing more, so I hope you like it!!! I put important lines in those boxes to help me remember what’s going on if I don’t play for a while, without having to read the whole game so far.
I hope you liked it!
