Land of Gems

You open your eyes. The sun is blinding, yet you do not squint. You awaken on hard, stony ground from which multicolored, glittering stones protrude. Your gaze catches a silhouette in the distance; it is walking toward you. A tall, large man looks down at you with an expressionless face.

— I will take you to a place you can call home.

He lifts you with enough care not to accidentally break you. The journey is long, and he remains silent the entire time until a massive, multi-leveled structure appears in the distance. A small pond stretches out before the building. In the middle of the pond, a large metal bell is mounted on quartz pillars.

When you arrive, several expectant, glittering, multicolored eyes await you on the threshold. The man sets you down on the ground.
