Instead of green, you see silver. The grass is silver, the leaves on the trees  are silver...and that's it. Everything else is what it (sort of) would be; brown tree trunks, a purple-blue sky dotted with stars...it was sort of peaceful, really.

You walk up to the nearest tree and watch as the leaves seemed to sparkle in the moonlight. You sit there, almost mesmerized by the sight. This has to be one of the prettiest places you've ever been in. How can this get any better??

That was when the earthquake began.

The ground starts shaking fiercely, causing you to panic. Instinctively  you wrap the tree trunk in a tight hug and hold on for dear life. You wonder when the earthquake would stop, because if it goes on for much longer, you're certain you'll die.

You feel something land on your head. It's not a blow big enough to knock you out, but you feel it all the same. Briefly you wonder what it could be. 

Thankfully it stops about five minutes after it started, allowing you to examine the mystery object. It's a silver apple. Frankly you're not too surprised to see that it's silver, especially since it probably came from the tree you were standing on. But should you eat it? 

You decide to take a chance and take a small bite. You spit it out instantly; it tastes like metal! You pick a nearby apple from the tree to see if they all tasted like metal. This second one doesn't, surprisingly; it tastes sweet and juicy. It was delicious.

Now you remember what your sprite said; "Welcome to the Land of Silver and Quakes! Everything that is important in this world is silver, but that's usually ruined by the constant earthquakes. So your job is to stop the planet!"

How would you be able to stop an entire planet??

Everything was in pastels; light pink tree trunks, baby blue leaves with something that resembled lollipops hanging from the branches...to put it simply, it was like a sweet-tooth's dream come true. There's even a waterfall/river, but it's not made of chocolate. But the water does look a little different than what you're used to. It's tinted pink, for one thing.

Curious, you walk towards the river, scoop some of the water into a cup you brought with you and cautiously take a sip. It tastes like sugar and something fruity (apples, maybe?), so you sip some more. Feeling refreshed, you decide to wander some more.

Until you notice a chocolate bunny sitting on the ground. You blink. What's a chocolate bunny doing here? Maybe it's one of those consorts your sprite told you about?

"Heeeeey!"

Speak of the devil.

Your sprite zooms into the scene, tugging you from the chocolate bunny. 

"What was that for?" you demand. 

"Just watch!" it responds, picking up a rock and chucking it at the bunny. Almost instantly, the bunny's eyes glow red and it destroys the rock. It snarls at you and your sprite before attacking. 

You yelp and destroy it with your specibus. Catching your breath (that nearly gave you a heart attack), you ask your sprite, "What the hell just happened?!"

"You gotta be careful here!" Your sprite tells you. "This world may look sweet and innocent, but there's a dark secret inside. That's why there are demons in those chocolate bunnies. It's because of the Denizen, you know. That's your mission; find the secret and bring it to light. Also to destroy the Denizen."

"Okay," you say, still a bit freaked by what happened. "And how am I supposed to do that?"

"Salt!"

"Salt?"

"Salt! Demons hate salt! One grain and they come out of the bunny! Haven't you ever seen Supernatural?"

You groan, putting a hand to your head. Sure, you were familiar with Supernatural and its shenanigans, but...

You never thought you'd actually work the phrase, "Get the salt" into your daily vernacular.

Heir of Rage.

Any negative emotions that your fellow players or consorts have are drawn to you. There is much hidden anger in this world, so you will become a force to be reckoned with.

At least the weather is somewhat pretty; it's practically the epitome of a perfect summer day (except for the fact that the sky is green instead of blue), and the (orange!) branches rustle and swing with the gentle wind.

So do the dolls.

The dolls that are hanging from the trees in every which way; by the arms, the legs, or even by their necks. The dolls swing from the strings tied to the trees; every color you could imagine. Red, blue, purple, pink...

The dolls vary, too. Some resemble those pretty porcelain dolls that people have been known to collect, there are the plastic Barbie dolls that your little cousin used to play with,and there are even little hand-made dolls (the ones made of cloth).

But what really creeps you out about this whole thing was that the dolls all looked like you. They had your exact hair color, some had your exact eye color...everything about the dolls resembled you, down to the clothing that the dolls wore. 

You had heard about how the consorts were waiting for their hero in each world, but this was ridiculous and really creepy.

You're still not sure what your mission concerning this world is. Maybe it has something to do with the dolls? 

You think you can see a small village in the distance. Maybe the inhabitants can give you some hints? You make your trek towards the village and hope that nothing happens.

The world is dark.

That's the only word you have to describe it. It's so dark you can't see anything, not even your hand in front of your face. Part of you is unsure whether or not to step out. What if you fall off the edge of the world? 

Slowly, ever so slowly, you make small steps. The ground is hard. You are unsure what you stepped on, really...because it's so dark. 

You go back into your house and grab a flashlight. You click it on, hoping it'll help lead the way. 

It doesn't work. Well, not really. All that happens is the small beam of light piercing its way through the darkness. You deflate, looking around. Not a tree or rock in sight! You idly wonder if the world is actually like that - desolate and barren - or if this is advanced darkness. So dark that not even a flashlight will help you out. 

Your thoughts are interrupted by a flash of lightning. You jump at the sudden light. Colors seem to explode in your eyes - but not before you realize something. 

Did you just see a tree...?

The second lightning flash comes. You can see an outline of the land - there are a few trees and a boulder in the way. You can faintly see a pathway (possibly leading to a consort village?) and you nearly jump in realization. The lightning flashes! That's how you would get through the world, isn't it?! Memorizing bits and pieces of the layout and going from there? 

That does explain what your sprite meant when it said you had to 'draw the world'...
