[It's a beautiful day in the Kingdom of Under. The crystals shine in the sky, the weather is calm and still, and monsters bustle about in their everyday business.

But this seemingly happy land harbors a sinister curse: a single thorned flower. It lies in wait in a beautiful garden, hoping to prick an unsuspecting victim with essence of eternal sleep.

But for now we turn our attention to the castle, where a lone queen reigns. She's strolling around the outer castle grounds one night when she hears that telltale noise. A breaking of wind. Startled, she removes her foot and leans over to look at it.]

What an unusual device.

[Technically, the Underground was already a kingdom, but fairy tales are a special occasional. And fortunately, not everything changes. Somebody chuckles nearby, accompanied by a faint rattle of bones.

A skeleton steps out from a nearby column, grinning like the fool he could have probably been - if he wasn't already a sentry.]

Oh hey. You found it.
