Opening
In the dead of night, a woman stands on the ledge of a mansion's balcony. In the room behind her, her drunk husband lies unconscious on the king-sized bed. "The Chosen rise..." She looks down at the harrowing height she's at. "While I sink ever-downward..." A few tears escape her eyes and fall down her cheeks. "Into the darkness, never given a chance..." ... Suddenly, a pigeon appears from the darkness of night, carrying a scroll within its claws. The scroll magically unwinds itself, presenting the invitation to the woman, Lueri Lyza. [Will you enter the Jewel Box?] [YES or NO] ... Her thoughts are scattered by the sudden, life-changing offer. It seems impossible for her, a nobody from some lowly noble family, to be invited to the Jewel Box, the most prestigious of all events. Her heart stops for just a moment before she leans forward and presses a kiss unto "YES", marking her decision with the imprint of her lipstick. ----------------------------------------- #The Jewel Box On a lone island in an unknown location lies a massive, pristinely white castle. Within the castle were many rooms; some big, some small. On its massive balcony that overlooks the entire island lies a dozen chairs, one for each Jewel. They remain empty for only a few moments before a stunning woman manifests in one of the chairs, dressed in a beautiful black gown. She studies her environment and spots a few hovering magical machines, currently floating around with their sights set on the Jewel Box's first arrival: her. "Magic Stones..?" She observes the machines silently with pursed lips, her hands neatly folded on her lap.
