Lela struggled through the cavern to find the Imperial Crystal. Legend holds that every decade, the crystal is fully charged with energy. That energy would be able to grant the user one wish, no matter the intent. All that time, she thought that the whole thing was just a legend, but now, she wasn't as sure as she was long ago. The only resource to help her find the crystal was a peculiar diagram given by the village Priest, Father Bowdern.
Lela entered a circular chamber with a domed celling, a fork that spilt into two pathways with one narrower than the other, and a large rectangular tile in the center. "Here goes nothing." She thought to herself as she inserted the symbols into the tile. The tile slid out to reveal the crystal. "Finally, after all these years, I found the Imperial Crystal!" Lela hollered with joy. The crystal was glowing as bright as a star, filled to the brim with the energy of a thousand wishes.
As Lela reached for the glowing crystal, she couldn't help but feel as if the whole room was spinning. She clutched a rock on the wall, but she lost conciseness shortly after. When Lela awoke, she saw that the crystal had disappeared. Panicked, she ran through the cave and emerged only to see a dark red sky with strange creatures emerging from those clouds. Instantly, Lela knew she had to retrieve the Imperial Crystal.
