quote:

During your apprenticeship with the Fisherman you learn a great deal about magic; this will help you in your search for Uriel. In particular, you learn the spell "Nonexistent Alteration": Combine Holy Water and Blessing, transforming you into a platypus, which can only change back into its normal form once it has hit its target. "This spell is your most useful spell" says the Fisherman "Since you are a telepath, you can also command animals."

It looks like your travels have brought you to the Big Apple. Is Uriel here, you wonder? A scout was sent out to look for Uriel and he found you. He approaches you and says "Greetings, noble messenger! Welcome to the land of..."

Uriel bursts through the window, screaming and roaring.

"What in the world is going on in here!" he asks.

The Fisherman says "I told you, this is my apprentice, Jake."

"This boy is no disciple of mine. I'll have to kill him." the Fisherman exclaims. "I'm going to have to kill him!"

The Original Man gasps. "Wha-what?" he asks.

"Uriel! Uriel! Oh no! He's destroying everything!" the Original Man exclaims.

Jake asks the Original Man "Why are you upset, sir? You're leaving the island!"

"Yes. My life is over." Uriel responds "And the son I had will never get to use his powers, nor his spirit. It's all over."

It is clear he has lost his mind.

"I should just kill him now." The Fisherman says "But I need him to reach Uriel!"

You and Jake watch as Uriel dies, destroyed by the Fisherman.

"That was the dumbest thing I've ever done" the Fisherman says "It's a shame to waste a power like that."

You and Jake are shocked to see Uriel vanish. "What did he do?" Jake asks.

"I know what he did! He disappeared!" you exclaim "But why?"

"I know that he isn't truly dead" says Jack who is also the White Deer Lady. "Uriel is strong. The darkness will not win."

"What?" you ask.

The White Deer Lady says "I'm sorry I had to call you back. But Uriel is not gone. He is in the Castle of Darkness, but it is well guarded by the powers of evil. You must join him. We must follow him, and find him before the Darkness does."

The White Deer Lady instructs you to climb the Mountain of the Stars, the highest peak of the island. "This is where Uriel must be. We must go through the mountain and that's where the castle lies."

The island is made of sand and is surrounded by high rocky mountains. Jake decides that this would make a great time to learn a useful spell and launches a green ray of light toward the mountain. The light reflects off the mountain and forms the shape of a stairway. The stairs lead up to a long tunnel.

It appears that you will be accompanying Jack to find Uriel, who is apparently living with an evil Queen. There is also a Raven who is guarding a castle in the center of the mountain. The tunnel you had seen before appears to lead to the castle.

You venture forth into the tunnel, and suddenly this happens:
1. You fall down the hole.

2. You hear the voices of your friends who had gone through earlier.

3. You pull out a gem to summon up Uriel.

4. There is an explosion.

5.

6. There is an overwhelming sense of peace and purpose, and the urge to look for him overpowers you.

7. "That's right!" You exclaim. "It's Jake! Hey Jake! What's going on!"

"Uriel is gone" says Jake. "And so are the rest of you. The island has turned against you."

"So what are you supposed to do?"

8. You lose consciousness for a short while, but when you wake up, you are standing in a large temple.

9. You have found the Castle of Darkness.

10. At the bottom of the stairway is a voice.
