(In a plains biome…)

???: “Hey…hey…wake up…”

(You wake up, and see a strange girl with orange hair and amber-colored eyes. She seems to be wearing a hoodie that resembles a creeper.)

???: “Oh, thank goodness you’re awake!”

You: “What…happened?”

???: “Well, it seems like you landed quite hard here in the plains biome. I found you unconscious and brought you back to my small shelter. Do you remember anything?”

You: “I… I can’t recall anything. Who are you? And how did I even end up here?”

???: “I’m Cupa, by the way. As for how you got here, that’s a mystery to me too. You appeared out of nowhere and crashed right into the ground. I’ve been watching this area for quite some time, and nothing like this has ever happened before.”

(You try to stand up, feeling a bit disoriented but otherwise okay.)

You: “Nice to meet you, Cupa. Thanks for helping me. I’m still a little shaken up, but I think I’ll be alright. That’s strange though, how did I end up in this biome? And why can’t I remember anything?”

Cupa: “I wish I had answers for you, but I’m just as clueless as you are. There are rumors of strange occurrences happening around these parts lately, but nothing concrete. Perhaps you have something to do with it?”

You: “I have no idea. This is all so confusing. Is there anything else you noticed before finding me?”

Cupa: “Well, as I said, I’ve been keeping a close eye on this area. It’s normally peaceful, but lately, there have been strange noises at night and sporadic flashes of light. I’ve even seen some mysterious figures lurking on the outskirts of the plains. Perhaps they have something to do with your arrival.”

You: “That definitely sounds suspicious. Maybe we should investigate and try to find some answers. I don’t like being in the dark about my own situation.”

Cupa: “I agree. It’s better to be proactive than to wait for something else to happen. We can start by exploring the area and talking to some of the other locals. Maybe they’ve seen or heard something unusual.”

You: “Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, Cupa, and let’s unravel this mystery together.”

Cupa: “Alright, let’s start by heading towards the outskirts of the plains. That’s where I’ve seen those mysterious figures lurking before.”

(You and Cupa walk towards the outskirts of the plains, keeping an eye out for any signs of the strange occurrences. As you approach the edge of the biome, you notice an old, worn-down structure in the distance.)

You: “Is that a village? Perhaps we can find some answers there.”

Cupa: “It certainly looks like one. Let’s go and see if anyone there has noticed anything strange.”

(You and Cupa arrive at the village and begin to ask around. The villagers seem hesitant to speak about the strange occurrences at first, but eventually, one of them opens up.)

Villager: “You’re not from around here, are you? Well, let me tell you, things have been going haywire lately. Unexplained lights in the sky, strange noises coming from deep within the plains… it’s got everyone on edge.”

You: “We actually witnessed something like that. Do you have any idea what might be the cause?”

Villager: “Some say it’s the work of ancient spirits, while others think it’s a curse. But there’s another rumor going around – they say a hidden portal has been opened, connecting our world to another dimension. People have been disappearing, and now it seems even outsiders like you are being brought here.”

Cupa: “A hidden portal? That would explain a lot. We need to find out more about this so-called portal and figure out how to close it if it’s causing all these disturbances.”

You: “But where do we even start looking? Do you have any idea, Cupa?”

Cupa: “I’ve heard tales of an ancient temple deep within the plains. It’s said to hold great power and knowledge. If there’s any place that might hold the key to these mysteries, it would be there.”

You: “Then let’s not waste any more time. We need to find that temple and uncover the truth.”

(Cupa and you continue your journey, determined to find the ancient temple and put an end to the strange occurrences plaguing the plains. Suddenly, you notice a strange portal in the ground - it was surrounded by several flowers.)

You: “Look, Cupa, another portal!”

Cupa: “That must be the hidden portal they were talking about. But why are there flowers surrounding it?”

(You cautiously approach the portal, examining the flowers closely. They seem to be glowing faintly, emanating a mystical energy.)

You: “Perhaps these flowers have some significance. Maybe they’re a clue to accessing the portal safely.”

Cupa: “It’s worth a try. Let’s gather some of these flowers and see if they have any effect on the portal.”

(Carefully, you pluck a few flowers from around the portal and hold them in your hands. To your surprise, they start emitting a brighter glow, and a gentle warmth spreads through your fingers.)

You: “They’re reacting to our touch! Maybe these flowers hold the key to unlocking the portal.”

Cupa: “Let’s place them in a specific pattern around the portal. Maybe it will activate something.”

(Together, you and Cupa arrange the flowers in a circular pattern around the portal, ensuring they are evenly spaced. As you place the final flower, the portal begins to shimmer and expand, revealing a swirling vortex of energy.)

You: “It worked! The portal is open.”

Cupa: “Be careful, though. We still have no idea where this portal leads or what dangers may await us on the other side.”

(With cautious optimism, you both step toward the portal, ready to face whatever lies beyond. As you take your first step, you feel a surge of energy and excitement, knowing that the answers to your questions and the resolution to the mysteries of the plains await you on the other side.)

You: “Here we go, Cupa. Let’s discover the truth and put an end to these strange occurrences.”

Cupa: “I’m right beside you. Let’s uncover the secrets of this portal and bring peace back to the plains.”

(You and Cupa step through the portal, and, on the other side, are greeted by a forest with occasional strange oaks and incredible trees that stretch into the sky.)

Cupa: “So…this is the Twilight Forest…”
