You enter the tavern, a little bell tinkling in the silence. Behind the bar, an older gentleman with an impeccable mustache and a fancy shirt, vest, and slacks is busy cleaning a mug. He glances towards your entrance, then returns to his mug, "I'm sorry, but we're closed today. The most recent shipment of ale and food got stuck in a landslide down at the other side of Riverbend." "I'm not here for lunch." You answer, striding over to the counter and plopping down on one of the stools, "I'm here to learn how to D&D." The man, whose name tag reads as Gerald, slows his work down and places the mug on the counter in front of you, clean as crystal. He puts his arms on the bar, looking around before meeting your eye, voice low, "So what you are telling me is that, ah... you want to be an adventurer." "Yes." "Travel the lands? Fight monsters? Become the hero?" "Yes." A wry grin spreads across Gerald's face, and he nods, "Alright then. Let's get started."

I sat shaking in the cold, glass box I have spent most my life in. As a child, I would be thrown in here whenever I disobeyed orders or whenever I complained of my head throbbing like the sound of a hammer smashing a wall. As I grew up, I spent more and more time in here learning the lessons - that were close to impossible to figure out - that would cause the walls to dissolve and set myself free. "Maybe if I help you learn your lesson, you can join me at the dance?" He calls out of the darkness once again, my body growing in anticipation to see his face but still he remained hidden. "You might be here for some time then." I sighed and rubbed my arms with a chill, catching some of my wounds that were still healing. I had the urge to scratch at my skin again but I held myself back. "Is that a yes to the dance?" He laughed causing me to laugh again, I took a step back from the glass and into the bright light of the box, that didn't seem to make a difference to the outside. "Well, I am dressed for it and you would be helping me....how could I say no?" I asked rhetorically and I felt a brief movement from behind my see through prison. "Shall I help you learn your lesson then?" A playful tone echoed out towards me and I tilted my head, holding back a smile. I nodded, I had guessed he could see me and by the small sigh of content I had been correct. "Or I could do this?" Before my eyes had caught up to the shift in the dust particles, a man stood behind the glass, now clearly visible to me. His dark hair fell over his eyes, high cheekbones pushed his eyes into slits as he smiled at me and not a flaw on his skin. Dressed in a black suit and tie with a grey shirt, his finger reached up to the glass. He touched it for half a second and it dissolved beneath his pressure and my eyes widened in shock. "Now may I escort you to the dance."
