In the mystical land of Triok, an evil wizard named Veldor cast a dreadful curse upon the realm.
The skies darkened, the rivers have run dry, and a great depression fell upon the land. The beautiful princess Lindura, daughter of King Moza, fell under Veldor’s wicked spell.
She is forever trapped in a never ending sleep, from which no one can awaken her.
Desperate, King Moza has sent out a call for the bravest soul in Triok to undertake this perilous quest. Veldor lives in a castle far beyond the city, where no man dare adventure, as it is forbidden. Many brave souls have been lost to the castle which is a labyrinth of stone and shadows. You will need to find the magical keys hidden within its depths. The path ahead is fraught with danger, and you must be ever vigilant as the curse can cause even the brave to succumb to Veldor. Terrible things lurk within the walls as you will press ever deeper into the castle. The walls will echo with the whispers of ancient spirits casting doubt on your adventure, but stay strong. In the dungeons below, crushers descend from the ceilings, ready to crush any who dare to pass so time your steps carefully. Possessed bats swoop down from the rafters, their shrieks piercing the darkness, so be careful. Skeletons, that were previous adventurers now reanimated by Veldor’s dark magic, will rise from the ground to block your path. Deep within the castle, you will need to find the keys – each glowing with a different hue: red, yellow, magenta, and green. You will need to find the corresponding doors to match the keys to collect the magic. Each piece brings you one step closer to activating the doorway to escape the castle, but the secrets must be found. Locate the secrets hidden within the ancient castle to break the curse and free the princess. The entire realm of Triok is counting on you.. Are you brave enough?
Sometimes a little help is needed....
The warlocks of Triok have presented you with a riddle to help you with your quest.
"In a dark and dangerous castle, old and grand, Red is hidden where shadows stand. Drop to a ledge where the light is thin, And let your daring quest begin. Leap to a candle's flickering light, Where yellow lies, hidden from sight. By guarded waters, in a secret place, Green awaits within this space. Above the void where the brave ascend, Magenta lies at the journey's end. Amidst the danger and ancient lore, Secrets await for those who explore. Through perilous paths and secrets deep, Wonders lie where shadows creep. Can you brave this castle's plight, And uncover the secrets hidden from sight?"
