Opening your eyes, you find yourself standing in a well lit room, filled wall to wall with books of all shapes and sizes... In the hearth a fire flickers warmly, inviting you to explore the stories within these walls...
Curious, you pick up a small, deep blue leatherbound novel... As you do, a young, darkhaired woman approaches you, carrying a black carved staff. She draws nearer, and you notice her eyes seem to stare past you, smoky blue gaze peering into the night... She is blind.
To her right, a middle-aged woman, with rusty auburn curls falling over plump shoulders. Sapphire eyes sparkle merrily, and her youthful face radiates peace and comfort.
Smiling, the younger of the two speaks toward you... "Welcome, dear friend! Welcome to our world... I am known as Misery Quinn..."
"And I am October DeBorgia," the sapphire-eyed woman speaks up, voice like liquid silk.
Misery gestures to the grand study you have stumbled into. "...and this is our library! Come, sit, and you shall hear fine tales of my sisters and I! We were created for entertainment purposes, but have taken on lives of our own." The young woman chuckles. "We are harmless, I assure you... In this place, creativity runs rampant, and imagination gives you wings to fly!"
"Just choose a book to learn about any one of us," October chimes in. "But be careful, XyaNdeRr over there is a bit shy..."
October and Misery smile toward a pale, shuddering woman huddled in the corner... XyaNdeRr lifts her scarred face to you, and you see nothing but terror in her crimson eyes.
"She's a bit on edge lately since Malikan booted her out of the Tower..." Misery whispers to you.
A colorful flash zips past you and crashes into the wall. The women hear the crash, and Misery rolls her eyes, still smiling. October laughs, the sound of music touching her voice even now.
"THAT would be our insane sister, Kit*Fans Angel... Shes... Oh how do I put this nicely... The hamster wheels spinning, but the hamster died a LONG time ago..." Misery grins playfullly.
The tiny, brightly dressed girl hops to her feet, pouting. "Shaddup Quinny!" She laughs and waves to you. "I'm just silly, thats all!" She flutters her multicolored angel wings and adjusts her crooked halo.
Laughing, Misery swings her blind gaze toward the little angel. "I know dear, no reason to pout..." She turns back to you, eyes dancing. "Shes a handful, my little Kitty..."
A silver shimmer to your right catches your eye... You turn your head and see a long, slender silver dragon slinking through the stacks of books, watching you with curious, swirling emerald eyes.
Clutching her staff tightly, eyes dark, Misery gestures to the enchanting creature. "She is our newest sister, SilverTears. A bit on the wild side, but she will do you no harm if you leave her alone."
Satisfied that you've got the message, SilverTears retakes her place amidst the shadows, tail twitching.
Misery nods and turns her blind gaze back to you, once again smiling. "Thats all of us! Click on our names or one of the books below to learn more about any one of us!"
She gestures toward five books on marble pedistals, and October joins in the invitation, both women speaking in perfect unison.
"Which will you choose?"
