- The old man at this house greets you: "My friend! My good old friend! It has
- been nearly 57 years since the last time I saw you! How are you?"
- You look at this man and recognize him from your adventure of many years ago
- when you prevented the awakening of Khalal, "I am fine," you say nerviously
- "but what am I doing here?" Drakgos, as that is his name looks at you very
- surprised and says: "Don't tell me you haven't come here to visit us!", --you
- wish you can answer differently, but you say that you were somehow summoned to
- the land. "I can't believe this!" He replies, "we gathered around the sacred
- fire yesterday, to ask for a champion to come and help us, and I think we got
- you as the answer to our problem... But you have aged my friend. You are not
- the same who help us prevent the awakening of Khalal..." You interrupt Drakgos
- and ask him why a champion was needed anyways. "KHALAL HAS BEEN AWAKEN!" he
- says with fear in his eyes, "about 30 years ago our beloved king died and the
- princess decided that the land needed no more kings or queens, so ever since we
- have done without one. Everything was ok and we prospered much. We built
- cities left and right of the land and to the South and the North. We even
- discovered there is another Continent to the South of here, everything was
- going so well, until one day the old wraith-king of Khalal came back and stole
- the body. Now, the land has become a playground for many evil creatures and
- Khalal him self is on charge of this invasion. So powerful is he that even
- Lucifer's favorite son serves him." You feel your blood boil as he mentions
- Khalal name and tell him that regardless of your age you will hunt him down
- and kill him. "Very well" Drakgos says, "I will help you recover your youth
- so you can finish your task. You will need to go the the South Continent and
- visit the fountain of youth. But you are way too old and may die in the
- journey, so begin by going 2 countries to the South and 2 to the East. There
- you will find Vador... ask him to give you some of his healing herbs and bring
- them back to me. I will mix them and prepare them for you to recover some
- youth. Once you are stronger, you can journey to the South Continent. Go my
- friend... Ah, remember to travel diagonally by using the numeric-keypad keys
- 7, 9, 1, and 3. You will be faster and waste less time. Be as fast as you can
- for you are running out of time. I have foreseen you dying at the age of 99.
- Something else before you leave: there are many healing centers and other
- facilities available troughout the land, use them to your benefit. If you have
- no money to pay for healing services, go rest at the RIVERS... is not very safe
- but you'll get some health back. Also, some trees have miraculous fruits that
- can restore all your HIT POINTS, but some may make you sick. Lastly, sometimes
- you will come across rings and boots that can boost your abilities EVEN IF IT
- IS NOT OBVIOUS TO YOU! Naturally some will hinder your abilities... It is up
- to you to find out wich ones are good and wich ones are not.

- MAY THE SACRED FIRE MANIFEST BEFORE YOU OFTEN MY FRIEND... and wish wisely.
