"Lost, you say?" It ignores your question.
The creature moves in an arc around you. The other mimics its movements in the opposite direction. They seems to glide on the sand. You look more closely and see that parts of the creatures crumble and reform occasionally, as if they are made of sand...
"This is not a very--opportune--place to find yourself lost in." A wicked grin crosses its face. It begins to advance toward you. So does the second creature...

The other man stifles his questions to answer yours.
"My name is Bicola Rogers. I found you lying on the ground, unconscious. The shadows are closing in, so I carried you with me while I tried to find somewhere safe..."
The man's face grows puzzled. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
You answer him.

[Good thing I expected it. ]
Aspero gathers his thoughts, then says,
"Long ago there lived a powerful wizard by the name of Eldroff. He watched over this land, protecting it from the forces of shadow with his four powerful stones. Each stone had a unique power, and together they made him stronger than any force of shadow.
"One day, Eldroff realized that his age was finally weakening him, and saw it fit to train an apprentice to continue his valiant work. He chose a witty young man by the name of Aldron. Day and night, the two worked to ensure that Aldron new every trick of the shadows and how to fight it, and every power of Eldroff's magic.
"Finally, the day came for Eldroff to complete Aldron's training.
'Take my Stones,' he said to Aldron, 'and keep them with you at all times. Now, I give you my magic.'
"As Eldroff transferred the last vestiges of his power to Aldron, one of the most cruel, triumphant grins crossed Aldron's face. Realizing his mistake, but able to do nothing to reverse it, Eldroff lay. Aldron exercised his new power and began torturing the old man, his wicked grin growing crazed as the power maddened him.
"However, Eldroff was clever. He reverse-tapped the wealth of magic in Aldron, and used the tiny bit he acquired to disperse his stones across the land so Aldron would never find them. In Aldron's rage, he lost control and demolished Eldroff's home and everyone he loved.
"According to legend, Aldron still lives. He has been unable to find the stones. No one knows what became of Eldroff..."
Aspero turns, thinking. "I never believed the legend, but if this is one of the Stones, then is it possible that Aldron really is alive?"

The man beats you to it. "Just hold on a second... Who are you, and where am I?"
You answer him, then ask, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
He responds, "I am Mael'thanos, and I believe we're in the same situation. Trying to escape these shadows."

[Hehe, tricky, tricky. :P
Oh, by the way, you can tell how old your character is if you want. I just didn't feel a need for an entire row devoted to it. ]
You force yourself up the last ten feet. As you crawl out of the whole, you find the heat unbearable... You are so shocked by what you see that you almost fall back down the hole. Flames burn everywhere. It reminds you of a lush field, except with fire substituted for brush and torched earth for grass.
You think you hear people talking nearby...

The soldier get back up, and stare at you angrily.
