I am the Chosen One. That much I’m fine with.

However, it was not cool to learn that to be the Chosen One means to find some device called the Garden Of Eden Creation Kit (she calls it GECK, which is admittedly quite catchy!) while the rest of the villagers just bum around waiting for me to get back. This GECK is so important that the fate of the village hangs on it, so they send only ONE of them to go find it, namely ME. Even worse, I can’t even start without going through the Temple Of Trials. Nice name. Very creative. You want me to find a device so important to the village, so the first thing you do is to send me to an eerie stone castle, where I could probably die.

Am I missing something here?

And so here I am, forced in front of the place. No, I’m pretty sure this isn’t a temple. Elders have such funny naming conventions. I am stripped naked of all my possessions and somehow, I only have my pants on. Klint is standing behind me brandishing a spear, blocking the only exit I see. But I prefer to call him Wierd Dude. Maybe I should talk to him before I do anything.

Hmm. Seems like Wierd Dude is just being true to his name: he’s just wierd. He’s not letting me go back, and he won’t answer any questions. Nada. Zip. Zilch. When I threaten him, he gets all philosophical on my ass. Thanks buddy! I’m about to die and all you can say is something along the lines of “It takes two to tango”. It was nice knowing you too.

Here goes nothing: I’m about to enter an derelict stone temple with nothing on me except my pants.

Something tells me that the only reason I have my pants on, is because I can’t take it off.
