The Bright Above Land

by Gygax Mimic

I have found the way out of this underground maze. I have enjoyed my journey so far, puzzles, traps, lots of interesting things to eat.
Then there was this bright light that I walked to and found that were no more stairs to climb, thankfully. The warmth I felt was different and comforting, and so many new sounds and endless options for directions to go. So I just went to the light, it was as good a direction as any.
All the new smells, sounds, and sensations were a lot different than I was used to but it was fun, an adventure. Everywhere I looked a new thing to look at and eat.
Then Darkness, in a bag with many other items. What a way to wake up from a nap. Oh well, at least there is food in here. Then after a day or so the bag opened and I was dropped on the ground. after the slight daze of being dropped on my head I looked up and saw a floating creature with one big eye looking at me. there were tentacles on it's head that looked like they had eyes at then ends. And it's mouth was very large and full of long sharp teeth. My first thought was, "I hope I am not it's food.".
Well he did not want to eat me, and we learned to work with each other. I made my very first friend and got to know Melvin over the days we wandered together. Days later we ran into others, Doots, a pointy eared humanoid. Ton Ton, a large turtle that has little to say, but listens very well.. Then there is Balthazar, an odd humanoid that invited us all to a feast. Talking about the land we are on as an Illithid Island and that there are dangers all around.
 
I really hope we all get along and have a good time traveling together.
