The Fantastical World of Noval

[Mundane Monster]

4 Open Spots

Prologue

For the past six years, Texas has been plagued with sinkholes. It seemed liked as soon as people were able to recover from one and start to rebuild, another one formed. It was a terrifying occurrence that was turning daily, and most people were quite fearful that one day they would be swallowed up. However, there was one city in Texas, that didn't worry about the sinkholes. Most of the horrifying natural disasters occurred towards the center of the state and the city of San Azure was pretty much on the fringe of the border of New Mexico.

Yes, the citizens of San Azure thought themselves to be untouchable from the vast tendrils of Mother Nature.

But they were wrong.

It appeared at the San Azure Library, a building that had just been built about three years ago. The library was filled to the brim with thousands of books of all genres, however a lot of community groups met in the libraries many meeting rooms.

When the sinkhole began to form, everyone panicked. Sure there were protocols that should have been initiated, but the majority of San Azure citizens didn't practice them as they believed they were untouchable. And so when the sinkhole began to form and shelves, books, computers and the like began to disappear into it, a frenzy started.

Screaming people could be seen scrambling backwards, parents were snatching up their children and racing towards the exits that were already clogged with frantic people. Fight or Flight took over the minds of some people, and instead of helping others, some began to shove others behind them or tear them away from the pillars they held fast to, in an attempt to save themselves. Those poor souls who weren't fortunate enough to escape or not were shoved out of the way, fell screaming into hole.

It was brutal.

And when the sinkhole finally ceased it's growth, emergency personnel were sent to investigate the hole, and search for the people who where being reported missing. However, all they found was an forgotten subway and no bodies.


Chapter One
Welcome to the land of Noval! A wonderful place filled with fantastical beings of all shapes and sizes. You might have traveled here from a far or fallen here from...Even farther. Either way, you are here and you will be happy! For this is a place of endless opportunities, where you can choose your own destiny!

So welcome, welcome, welcome! To the land of Noval!

In front of you are two paths, one leading to a forest and one leading to a road with a castle in the distance. Which one will you choose to follow? Either one will take you on a glorious adventure, unless of course you don't want that, in which case you can close your eyes and wish you were back home! (Satisfaction not guaranteed!)

Oh dear me! I seem to have gotten ahead of myself! Why am I telling you were to go without telling you what you can be! Let's first start with, who you were!
