As the light sudden light dimmed he realised his surroundings has gone from the vibrant, tree covered expanse to a grand yet ancient feeling hall. A huge vaulted ceiling which made one feel awe at its construction towered above a huge skeleton which looked to be in mid flight, Striking an instinctual fear into all who laid eyes upon it. It's Bones so black they looked to suck in light. Tearing his eyes away from the skeleton that he wanted so badly, he looked forward to see Twelve stunning marble pedestals either side upon which rested various Grand looking items varying from Rings, amulets, Armour and weapons.
At the far end of the hall Lay a throne cut from an elegant white stone with veins of gold running through. Upon it sat a figure that looked Shockingly out of place yet radiated an aura of power unlike anything jack had felt before. Though lets be honest, at this point that isn't a very high bar.
Covered head to toe in a Dulled Armour covered in Mystical symbols glowing so faintly they could barely be seen, The armour twitched and The head slowly looked up, Its piercing blue eyes watching jack like a hawk and a voice rang out through the hall.
"Ah Finally, I have been waiting so long" The words felt.. Wrong from the Kind and wise vibe the voice gave off "I am dying, I put myself into a deep sleep that I could only be awakened from when someone worthy of my legacy was nearby. Come forward, I will allow you to take one item from this room before you are teleported out again"
Jack stood stunned unable to process what was happening for a second. 'What the heck who is this old dude why is he offering me free stuff?? Wait why does he speak Earths language??' *1
"you can understand me?" Jack said confused
"..." After a moment of silence the figure Responded "It's a skill I have?"
"You don't sound to sure about that? I mean this feels kind of fishy but With an opportunity like this how can i say no! I just lost all of my possessions so why not! So i can pick anything in here Right?" Jack Said with an energy that stunned the One who sat before him
"Hahaha, That's the spirit!" His laughter boomed throughout the hall "Anything in this room, Every item in here is of the highest quality, Swords wielded by heroes, The throne of an ancient king, Hell when my armour, Whatever you like"
"Nice! I want that" Jack said pointing directly up ward
"... Why don't you pick something else What about the Legendary ring which can revive any dead being once a year"
"Nope! I want that!"
"A dragon skeleton isn't as useful as Any of the items here, ya know what since i like you if you don't pick the skeleton you can have two!"
"WAIT ITS A DRAGON? DRAGONS ARE REAL" His eyes shined with a desire so strong it made the figure shudder "I definitely want the dragon please, You said I can have anything and I want the dragon!"
"Urgh fine all of the items in the room or the dragon" He sighed "That is my final offer."
For a moment Jack seemed moved, His eyes slowly going from item to item but finally resting on the Skeleton once again "You sure are making it tough Sir uhhh I don't actually know your name?"
"But i still want the dragon"
An awkward silence ensued...
