Tales From Terraria (Fan-Made Short Story)

Empress of Light

Quentin gazes into the mirror, returning to his town. The people ask where Jacob is, but he just walks past them into the forest.

He stepped foot in the Hallowed Forest, he felt a soft breeze of air graze his face once he did. It was very warm. The trees were all different types of colors. The ground was soft, he leaned down and felt the grass, it was soft as well. He continued through the forest. 

An hour later, he arrived at a pond, where he saw a giant woman resting in the pond. He backed up, not trying to wake her up, but she was already awake. "You can stay here awhile if you'd like." Quentin's eyes widened. "Mother?! I thought you were d-" She interrupts him. "I am truly sorry little one, but I am not your mother." He looks down at the ground. "Don't be sad, little one." She picks him up. "Just rest, you look like you have been through a lot." She rubs his head with her finger and puts him in the pond. He falls asleep.

She flies out of the pond towards the dungeon, where she meets up with a hooded cult leader. "It's done, now restore my memories." The cultist faces her. "How do you know you have any memories to restore?" He asked. "That poor little boy, he said I sounded like his mother." Her hand lights up and a giant ball appears. "Restore my memories before you meet your maker." He shoots a lightning bolt at her, exploding the ball of light. "My friend has a few mechanical beasts he would like to test on "your little boy." Now make haste, before he wakes up." She looks at him. "How did you know he was..." She stopped and flew away.

She tells Quentin that he has to face a few more challenges and that there are 3 mechanical beasts in the area. "What about the alters?" Quentin asked. "Destroying the alters will bring out ancient resources that were before The Destruction." Quentin thanks her and walks off.
