An Ol' Man's Memory: Katarn Dragonbourne RP

[Mr.Fabulous]

The first thing that happened was the symbols slowly glowing with a purple light; after which the light was absorbed into hidden lines connected towards the door, the aura disappearing into the other side; the middle parted open slightly, allowing a rush of still air to blow past the group; with an agonizingly-grinding sound the doors parted open and revealed a very dark room.


The old veteran and the 3 kids went in, and were surprised at how strange the room was: it was a pyramid-shaped room with 4 walls, 2 doors of equal strangeness to the entrance on each wall except the one that harbored the way they came; fixed to the corners of the room and on the ceiling point were dimly-glowing crystals of different colors: starting from the back-left corner going clockwise there were blue, green, yellow and red crystals, while the apogee on the top was a purple one; the walls were ebony-black, with dim purple lines running across them like strange angular graffiti, all eventually connecting towards the purple crystal. The floor was equally lined with the dim lines as the walls, but these were all shaped in spiral-rectangular formations, unlike the pure randomness of the walls.


The kids were shivering at the very eeriness of the room. It didn't have any strange insignia on it, but the described details of the room alone made them think it was some sort of ritual chamber of sorts, "What do you think this place does, Captain Katarn?"


[color=#FF6666]"I wonder what that purple light on the ceiling is for? Those crystals look so cool I wanna touch 'em!"


... What be this place...? What be the use o' these crystals...? And where might these other doors lead te...? This be not feelin right, no matter how I be placin it... He looked around the room and went to the very center of the place.


"Oooohhhh... I wanna touch the green one!" When the excited boy was just a meter away from the green crystal several things happened in seconds: the purple lines immediately flashed and they seemed to rush back to the purple crystal, leaving the room almost totally black; then the room was replaced with green lights that quickly ran across and once again filled the room with lines, only this time these lines were green; when the lines had all but filled the room as the former the old veteran observed that the green lines, unlike the purple, were organized in smooth, circular patterns, while the floor ran with organized circular-spiral formations... And suddenly, from out of nowhere, the veteran felt a slight twinge of sadness and despair.


"WOOOOOOOW!!!" The kids were amazed at the lightshow they've just witnessed, "Hey, Jess! Touch the yellow one over there! That's your color anyway, you chicken!"


When the chubby boy approached the yellow crystal basically the same thing happened: but the yellow sported chaotic, diagonal lines on the walls, while the floor was filled with zigzag lines running well across. This one made the veteran's senses slightly sharper.


It was the girl's turn to approach a color, and she chose the red one: the red lines that followed filled the room with totally-parallel lines, the floor being dominated with crossroads and intersections. The red light was giving off a sense confidence, of new hope, and of courage from within.


Katarn soon observed that he was being affected by these colors by some form of unconscious power, yet the changes were too subtle and indirect to notice at first glance. After some thinking he said, "Hmmm... I'll try the blue on then, lads, HAHAHA!"


"Yeah! Let's see what Captain Katarn shows up!"


When Katarn walked towards the blue crystal and touched it with his right, human hand, the room was basked in blue, dim lines that filled the walls with snail-like patterns, while the floor only had one enormous spiral that ran towards the center of the room. The warm glow of the blue light gave respite to the veteran's spirit, as if he suddenly found himself in a luxury spa in a 5-star hotel... He felt... peace...


"Say, Captain Katarn! I have an idea!" The girl raised her hand up in a question, "Why don't we press all the crystals at the same time? It might make a combination of all the colors, making something like an awesome rainbow or something!"


"... Smart lassy... I like yer thinkin, HAHAHA!!!" His eyebrows raised in excitement, and his grin grew wider.


"Okay... On the count o' three, we all press our crystals an' see what happens, eh? One... two..."


When three was said all of them touched the crystals they were close to... For a few moments nothing seemed to happen, "I think we broke the darn---"


Suddenly, as the girl predicted, the entire room flashed with the four different lines, filling it with a dazzling array of colors and leaving the kids in awe. But just as how fast it went all the lines quickly ran towards the purple crystal, disappearing altogether... Yet the lines came back, only this time they were purple, and after a few seconds of waiting found themselves with the exact purple formations when they first entered the room.


The old veteran tried to see if this color was making any sort of change... For a moment he didn't find anything; but then he found it... He found it easier to focus, to concentrate, as if he was just about ready to stare at something for the next hour without becoming tired.


"Well, those were some awesome lightshows, Captain Katarn, but..."


"Looks like we need to get back to our parents now!"


"Thanks for letting us in, Captain Katarn! Bye!" The kids all left the room one by one, eventually leaving the old veteran to himself as he pondered still at what the room was exactly for...


... and how it was able to do all those things...
