Welcome from Ian Borthwick!
The newcomers enter the far end of the valley, passing beneath a great stone arch of carved marble and marvel at the incredible foliage beyond it. The greenery and the towering oaks, the majesty of cedars that are centuries old as well as the village of Cresca Libere itself...a place that time forgot. The villagers watch them with smiles and welcomes, children play and animals dash about in concert to the frantic play.
Unknown to them, a lone man watches them from far away, at the distant end of the valley, from high atop the castle he inherited. The guardian of the valley.
A voice intrudes on their thoughts. Warm, baritone and rich in peaceful greetings.
"The time is now...your journey is JUST beginning!
Reality and Fantasy join in this moment.
You have entered the gates of our world,
travelling through time and space.
This corridor of mystery, enchantment and limitless power!
it is the world where all imagination dwells!
it is the land of Cresca Libere!"
Their eyes widen and the people of the valley wave as they travel along the winding road towards the castle. it all passes as if in a dream..and the bushes seem to whisper as they pass.
"Magus...spiritus..."
Time seems to become meaningless, as the miles dwindle in what feels like minutes rather than hours. The castle looms into view as they cross a long wooden bridge, all gasp at the majesty of it the white stones gleaming in the sunlight.
Suddenly, from the forest erupts satyr's, nymphs, tiny fairies, pixies, centaurs, brownies, and all manner of brightly and earthily clad fey creatures, to escort them on the final leg of the trip. With wonder and enchantment in their hearts, the newcomers gasp in awe while the fey folk begin to dance on the road before them, beckoning them to greater speed.
"There's a world beyond reality,
A place of light and dark,
A world beyond infinity,
A realm of mind and heart,
It's a shadow world of fantasy upon which dreams are born,
A kingdom where illusion's given light and sound and form!"
The powerful baritone voice softly sings before them as Ian appears in the midst of the woodland creatures, and previously he had not been there. His bright blue robes would have stood out against the other colors of the creatures who surround him. The mage tosses his blond hair and turns to the castle, gesturing them on as he leaps into the air and floats unaided just ahead of the entourage!
"It's a magic world where rules do not apply!" Ian sings, smiling and wagging a finger at them.
"It's a brave new world, where any dream can fly," he cries joyously, throwing his arms wide and rising higher into the air effortlessly."Magic and mystery turned to reality in the world!"
Flying in a circle wide about the group, the music fills the forest and animals set foot out of their normal domain to watch as their friend regales the new citizens of the valley with his explanation of their new home.
"A world of mystery of stories yet untold,
A bright and shining tapestry of dreams yet to unfold,
An amazing ride through space and time that stirs the very oul,
Let the child inside you come alive,
Gather all you can behold!"
Rising higher, the blue robed mage gestures to the heavens and the skies respond with answers to his requests as rainbows, dragon's roars, fire singing the heavens and angels streak across the skies in waves. They cannot help themselves, gasping in awe at the spectacle!
"Give me rainbow colors illuminate with lights of every hue,
Give me sounds of dragons, thunderbolts and nature's magic toooo,
Give me images of yesterday, paint the future bright as well,
Give me dark and light, Give me good and bad,
Give me heaven, Give me hell!"
At last they come to the main gates of the castle and step lightly through into the courtyard, Ian simply floating high above the walls!
"Set aside all your worries, all your problems leave behind,
You've given into fantasy, your body heart and mind,You're one of us,
A piece of every story yet untold,
A part of all the magic and the dreams yet to unfold!"
Landing lightly before the huge double doors at the top of 20 stone steps, Ian looks to them, his hands on his hips and his cloak thrown back. He smiles, true joy twinkling in his bright, hazel eyes. His song done for now, he addresses them to allay their worries.
"Welcome, I am the Magus Ian Borthwick,
I'm in charge of this unusual land,
A land governed by spirit, by magic, by laughter, and by time.
Let us take you on a journey,
a journey bounded only by the limits of your imagination,
Only by the vision in your minds eye!
Welcome to our castle of dreams,
Welcome to Cresca Libere!"
Before the last of his words are out of his mouth, the group dash past him as he bows them in, their eager faces gleaming with the promise of rich dreams yet to be brought to life. Turning to the last of the children who wish to enter, a young blond boy named Trent, he holds out his hand and the boy takes his large hand in his small one. With a wink, the two vanish within.
