Part 1

Once upon a time, the world of Heldion was at a time of peace. But, one day, an evil conquerer by the name of "Theron" invaded the land, and captured the fair princess. As the kingdom was in panic, there was one hero, that was destined to bring peace back. They called out to him, gave him his quest, and what he would need. Our hero, Deric, gladly accepted the quest.

Deric:Wait, you guys want me to stop HIM? No way!

Well, not at first. But, after he was told about the rewards he'd gain, as a hero to the kingdom, he took on the quest.

Deric:Look, that's all fine and stuff, but I'm not going to set out to who-knows where and get myself killed! I haven't even fought before!

Deric was so bad at being a hero, it's a wonder he was chosen in the first place.

Deric:..Okay.. What are you?

Villager:..A fellow villager? Look, please, I beg of you! Take the first of the seven Macguffins and start your quest to save the world!

What AM I? I'm the storyteller! You see, I've crafted an entire story, all about you! You have a wonderous journey ahead of you! But you have to take that first step! Take the quest! Take the story!

Deric:..What is this MacGuffin?

Villager:I'm holding it right now! You can SEE it! It, when combined with the other six, gives you the power you need to vanquish Theron, and save our princess!

Deric:..But the King's safe, isn't he?

Villager:Yes, but the princess is the heir to the throne!

Deric:..Can't we just get a new one?

Deric spent a lot of time asking trivial questions, none of which progressed the story in any way whatsoever. By the way, the kingdom is still under seige.

Deric:Eh, not really a hero. Not who you're looking for. If Theron succeeds, not my problem. *closes the door*
