Kalm said, "What is going on here?" but nothing came out. A small girl walked from behind some trees, she was holding a bow, apparently ready to fire with an arrow. She had long tangled blue hair, with leaves caught up in it, and green eyes. She was wearing some torn white robes.
She said, "This is Star's place, why are you in Star's place?" apparently she could speak.
Kalm tried to ask, "Star's place?" but nothing came out again.
She said, "Your..not from here, be careful of Kentilion, we all must hide from him in our own way," she started to walk away and then said, "You should leave Star's place, I dont like people in Star's place," then she walked off.
Kalm followed her and said, "Hey, wait up!" actually being able to talk now, but she was gone, he came to a small clearing however, where there was a pond. He walked up to it to see it was filled with some sort of weird purple colored water, he decided to stay away from it. He walked behind the pond, and heading back into the trees. He continued to walk and came upon the same girl again, but now she was uncounscious, and bleeding from the stomach. He noticed he was at the mouth of a cavern. The wound was very small, about the size of a pin needle, but she was pouring out blood extremely fast, she would die soon from blood loss. Kalm used some leaves and other forest material to bandage the wound, then leaned her up against the cavern wall in a sitting position and said, "I'll be back," then he went inside the cavern. Who had done this?
Kalm darted through the cavern carelessly, which was almost his death, as the cavern floor fell out beneath him. He quickly turned around and grabbed the remainder of the floor behind him. Kalm muttered, "Damnit..." then he pulled himself back up. He suddenly felt dizzy once he did so, however. He tried to steady himself, but he fell to his knees from the dizziness. Kalm spoke, "What..whats happening?"
Then a man in a tuxedo came out from a tunnel to the side, "Your experiencing symptoms of a poison thats beein injected into you, not really harmful by itself, however, when coupled with say a.." he jabbed a knife into Kalm's stomach, blood spilling onto the cavern floor, and Kalm falling down, "..knife, or an explosion...," and then he pressed a small button on a mechanical device and an explosion occured above Kalm, rocks falling upon him, pinning his leg, "..it can be quite deadly,"
Kalm looked up at him weakly, "Who..are you?"
He spoke, "I am Number Zero, from Daethir's Elite Corps, I am generally thought of as the most deadly, good night, Kalm, enjoy the poison," then he walked out of the cavern, leaving Kalm buried.
Kalm muttered, "Damnit..." and fell uncounscious.

Kalm awoke at the bottom of the cavern, he assumed. His wounds were completely healed, but what forces he did not know. He looked up, only to see rock. Upon the floor was the symbol of a star. Kalm spoke, "Star's Place?" he looked around, "What now?" he reached for his sword, expecting trouble, but found it was gone! Kalm said, "Oh, great! The 'ancient weapon' has been stolen!" Kalm looked for a trace of Number Zero, it had to be him who had stolen his weapon! There was none, however, just the Star, and two cavern exits leading out of this room. Kalm darted out of the one leading south, and downward.
Kalm saw the cavern was made of suspended rock bridges, and beneath them was bubbling lava! He better not fall, as well, this place looked like it was some sort of maze. Star sure had a complex home.
"Hey, Kalm, been wondering if your ever gonna get your act together, sure doesnt look like it," spoke someone from behind.
Kalm turned to see someone in a red cape, and all red clothes, and wearing a red hat. Kalm backed up and said, "I've seen you before, and heard about you, the 'red caped man,' you were at Earthrealm,"
The man said, "Been following you for some time, sure making a bad name for yourself, getting yourself beat up all the time, hmph,"
Kalm said, "Who are you?"
The man said, "Perhaps you'll figure it out eventually,"
Kalm asked, "Star?"
The man shook his head and said, "We'll meet again, try not to get yourself beat up, till next time," and he leapt into down towards the lava. Kalm was not so sure there'd be a next time, now.
Kalm walked over the bridge in front of him, continuing through a tangled maze of a bridges he eventually made it to a circular platform, with three levers. He pulled one, the bridges turned and move one way, he pulled the next one and they pulled another way, he pulled the next and yet another way. He tried diffrent combinations and it'd seemed to make the room's bridges be in whole diffrent configurations. There was also a door at the other end of the room, with three bars barring entry. This would be kinda tricky.
