Did you know that somewhere, somewhen, your name will be written on someone's calendar, with the name circled twice round? And when that date is fished out of the stream of time and into present, you will be presented with a peculiar offer.
This happens but once in everyone's life. The offer is unique to your circumstances, your character, and the date in particular on which your name is pinned.
And on that day, should you choose correctly, you are granted a peculiar reward. But the true test lies beyond the gift; it lies in your response.
Deny this first gift, and press the gift-giver with an imperative: command them to give you what you truly desire.
Nine times out of ten, you can learn a lot about yourself this way. The one time, though... well, they've been known to bristle at the request.
Sometimes they demand a trial to prove your worth for such a gift.
And this is the key to your adventure's beginning.
