Scene I

  Black and Red Jester:

  (enters the scene)

  Curtain up! Curtain up!

  I have a story to tell!

  Chorus:

  A story the Jester will tell!

  Black and Red Jester:

  Four fools will venture out,

  but will find no solace for their weary minds

  In search of crystals bunch,

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  their doom will approach fast

  Chorus:

  No solace!

  None will be found!

  Doom will approach fast!

  Black and Red Jester:

  The snake will cry, armor break down,

  the shadow go mad and kelhound die

  Chorus:

  Cry, break, go mad and die!

  Black and Red Jester:

  A book will lead them astray,

  where no glory remains

  Chorus:

  No glory!

  None at all!

  Black and Red Jester:

  (looks off into the distance)

  And who do I see,

  approach us swiftly

  Pale as a ghost,

  white as a snow?

  Chorus:

  Where?Where?

  Who?Who?

  Black and Red Jester:

  The story I will have to tell in haste,

  as the Kahin’s sleep has come to an end

  (the curtain flings open)
