"Hello there! Hello? Are you awake? Hey!!" A mysterious floating figure spoke.
"Huh... GAH! Who- who are you?" Pen jumped. "More importantly, where am I?" Pen glanced around, this wasn't Yoyle City, or even Goiky! It was a foreign land.
"Welcome to the Vitae Kingdom! I am Cloud Neek, but you can call me Cloud! You must be the Hero! Let me guess, hmmmmm, hmm hmm hmmmm," Cloud looked over at Pen's bag. "Your name is Pen?"
"You're... right. Yeah. I'm Pen, and also, why am I here? This isn't a dream, right?" Pen stared at his hands, they were reduced to black nubs, his arms black noodles. He wasn't a human anymore... he was really a pen!
"Nope, not a dream! Anyways, you were summoned here because fate has chosen you as our hero! We inhabitants waited... and waited... and waited... and waited... OH WAITED SO LONG WE HAVE!!!" Cloud announced. "But now that you're here, we may begin our journey! Fate has called upon you to find the four soul stones of what once were our guardians!"
"I dunno, this seems like a big responsibility," Pen shrugged, "I've never been this responsible, because I'm always overlooked." He sighed and looked back on his life. His sister always getting praise, his brother being spoiled, everyone else at school getting A's, nobody recognizing his art, he could go on and on.
"Don't worry, Pen! Here, you'll fit in!" Cloud smiled and picked up a lamp. "Take this lamp, we need to go to the caverns!"
