There was a cave, as old as time itself. It lay in deep woods, surrounded by a smal piece of nature, which itself was being besieged by a sprawling metropolis. Many legends ranked around it - some say it is an abode of monsters, which delight it eating naughty children. Others say that it holds marvels of which man may have dreamed after eating a little too much. Others say that it is the spot where horny teenagers make out. Many of these tales are told from generation to generation, and are met with wonder, shock and exclamations of "Grandpa, is it time for your medicine ?".

However, fact is that, here in the dark and damp depths of the deep cave, there is a lamp.

It isn't a particularly tasteful one, rather old and also tacky. The ornate black-and-white design that had once adorned its surface is almost wholly faded, which reveals the pot metal underneath - and that might be just as well, because the design twists and turns in ways that are unpleasant to the human eye. A thick layer of dust cakes its surface.

There seems to be something about this lamp - maybe it's the strange design, maybe the way that it softly glows in a dim, unearthly light. Maybe it's the fact that the prose keeps referring to it, in a "LOOK ! THIS THING HAS "DESTINY" WRITTEN ALL OVER IT !" sort of way.

And there are footsteps drawing closer, echoing in the dark, quiet cave.

((Oh, come on, people - post and you get a song and I'll write three short plots / stories for your wishes.))

[Captain Blue]

((I'll join. Might as well seeing as everything else I had planned with my character has gone to shit. So are we approaching or in the cave?))

[BAMFing ARCHER]

((Can I join too?))

[Lord Vaati]

(If a desert is involved I'll join with Sand.)

[Die4Less]

((Eh, why not. I'll join. I need to select an alt for this purpose...))

[Zelnor]

((Well, I'm basing this on the average Genie mythology with a
spin. Somebody just needs to find the lamp so I can rip off Aladdin and maker a big muscial entrance and then continue to spout references, only this time we get eet. XD


Battle for lamp ? Maybe. Three wishes - three-

Uno, dos, tres,

[[Lamp finding first, big musical number later !]]

[Die4Less]

What did Shadow say to look for... oh yeah, a lamp... Why would he want a lamp?...

*Ponders for a Moment Before Continuing the Search*

Ah, what does it matter... When I find it, I shall find out...

[Karim]

Karim wandered throughout the cave, looking for any sign of progress, but finding little. "This place sucks. It's got no sense of direction.", he complained.

[Zelnor]

Deeper in the cave, flourescent crystrals suddenly sprouted on the walls, illuminating one of the many winding paths as if someone wanted an adventurer to venture deeper.

[BAMFing ARCHER]

Bartz Klauser, following in his father's footsteps, ventured deep into the cave, searching for adventure.

[Die4Less]

*Continues Down One of the Paths*

Light Crystals... Must be a good sign...

[Karim]

Karim, perhaps following one of the others, perhaps moving on his own path, was walking alongside the walls, trying to stay hidden in case anything popped up. However, as he passed each the light crystals, he would switch walls to keep himself hidden within the shadows.
