The Crackpot Mystic
Well hello, young adventurer. You look like an intelligent sort.
Would you like to hear a tale of a mystical realm which lies outside the confines of both time and space?
|
No thanks, Mr. Crazy Man.
|
|
- Well then. You can take your grounded-in-reality attitude and stuff it.
- Good day and good day.
|
Sure, old man. Tell me all about it.
|
|
- Excellent.
- Then allow me to start my tale at the beginning, which is where tales should start, don't you think?
- What we see of reality, here in the Kingdom, is but a fraction of what truly exists.
- Long before the Times of Old, all was Void. And the Void was stumbled upon by an ancient race of trans-dimensional Beings.
- I know not what they called themselves, but I call them "The Designers."
- They created all that we see, through their mastery of a strange technology I refer to as "The Pixel."
- Do you believe me, young adventurer?
|
Nope. I think you're insane.
|
|
- Then I see I am wasting both of our time. I shall waste it no more. Jerk.
|
Against my better judgment, yes.
|
|
- I knew you would...
- I shall continue my tale, then.
- Many years ago, I stumbled upon an artifact of great mystery and power. Its power is exceeded only by its mystery, and by manipulating it, I was able to move outside of the Kingdom, and into a sort of border realm between our world and the world of the Designers.
- It is a strange and dangerous place, filled with an assortment of strange and dangerous creatures.
- For years I fought with and defeated these creatures, and became skilled, to a certain extent, in the manipulation of the Pixel.
- Alas, I have grown old. These brittle bones can no longer withstand the rigors of combat, and my supply of Pixels has dwindled to nothing.
- Will you pick up the torch, Adventurer? Will you journey into this realm so that I may continue my studies?
|
I changed my mind. You're nuts.
|
|
- Sigh.
- Come back when you're less of a meanie.
- Sigh.
- Wonderful!
- This artifact, when equipped, will allow you to enter the 8-Bit Realm.
- Unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten where the door to this realm lies.
- Oh well, I'm sure you'll find it.
Occurs at Forest Village when visiting The Crackpot Mystic's Shed until the continuum transfunctioner is acquired.
