THE VALLEY OF SPIRIT
You look around curiously. You are now standing a path... It is paved with
flowered tiles. Looking to either side of you, you can see a rolling, green
meadow as far as the eye can reach. Then, you see a bright, lime green colored
fox dash out of the tall grass and scurry down the path ahead of you, into
the forest. Two tails sweep behind it as it runs-
Wait! How can a fox have two tails and be... green? the thought snaps
into your head.
There is a bright flash of white light, and in place of the fox is a rabbit.
It turns around the corner of the path and disappears behind the trees. Then,
the path you are standing on seems to move. You jump off of it into the grass,
and peer out curiously as the road starts to crumble away into a fine dust,
revealing a simple dirt path. The wind blows the strange, powdered dust into
the grass. The blades it touches suddenly shorten, so that they look like
the grass you would find in a well kept lawn. You stare in astonishment, and
walk back onto the path, and examine the dust that you pick off the ground.
They fade slowly away in your hands. You turn your attention back to the patch
of grass, to see that flowers- in all different colors of the rainbow-
have bloomed!
How strange.
You spot one that actually has all the colors on it. You back away quickly
when you see that it seems to be opening a pair of eyes! A mouth forms below
them.
"Welcome to the Spirit Isle..." it says in a voice as if it was singing.
Then, the flower closes up its petals and falls to the floor. It disappears,
and another rainbow colored flower springs up to take its place. Except this
one doesn't come to life. You carefully smooth your finger across one of the
petals, and a sudden shock comes to you. A strange new energy seems to course
through your veins... You have the feeling that you can do just about anything
at this moment. You walk down the path...
