Day 9: Morning

[wizardseason]

Morning: 6:00am - 12:00noon

[ IRL Timeframe: June 14th - Onward, 2020 ]

When your characters check their phones, clocks, calendars, or any other timekeeping implement they'll find that the year is 00 AW, forty years before the present day. The year before the Wizard's first game was held, the year before it came down to only two knights and the Princess facing off against the Wizard. It was before all of it.

Everywhere your characters go, there are no people. Their devices will not connect to the internet outside of the island, their companions will not appear, the Wizard and Monsters will not answer, but they can text each other without difficulty.

Outside, the heroes will not be greeted with the sight of the sky from Day 3. The sky lacks the massive vortex over the center of the mountain. Honestly, it all looks fairly serene. The only thing that seems amiss is the rumbling of the ground, the constant feeling of an ongoing earthquake. There are no fractures in the ground yet, though, no splintering of the planet.

Because nothing has happened yet.

Prompts:

  They're at the top of the mountain, right beside where the mysterious doors were in the current day. But right now there's a wide-open metallic stairwell. It looks unnatural, like someone copy-pasted it into place. From beneath, there's a blue glow and steam rising up from below.
  
  Guess it's time to wake up, make a plan, and walk downstairs?

The prickle of magic in the air makes his hackles rise, his body tensing as he watches the door swing shut on them. He shifts around Luka in that moment, eyeing the door as he places himself between it and the princess. He's not sure what the Wizards intention is exactly, but hearing that they've been heard is enough to make him relax just slightly.

His attention returns to them a moment later, and he asks, with the faintest touch of hope in his voice, "So you'll stop gathering the crystals up?"
