Amy
Hi! My name's Amy and I found this phone at Rocky's Climbing Gym. You're the only contact in it...do you know who it belongs to?
Senna
Yes. The phone needs to be returned to Amaranth. She's a talented climber and exceptional young woman.
Senna
Can you find her for me?
Amy
Umm...my name is Amaranth, but NOBODY calls me that. Who are you?
Senna
Amaranth! Thank goodness. I'm Senna, a friend of your parents'.
Amy
You're mistaken. My parents died when I was a kid.
Amy
And the most exceptional thing about me is my stupid name. Sorry.
Senna
I'm a friend from their homeland, Avalon.
Amy
What are you talking about? My parents were from Oregon, same as me.
Senna
Your parents fled Avalon when you were born. Your birth drew attention from our enemies.
Senna
To protect you and the Avalon, they left.
Amy
This is absurd. This is some kind of joke, right?
Senna
I'm afraid not, Amaranth.
Amy
My name is Amy. What do you want from me?
Senna
You must come reclaim a powerful heirloom your parents left, Amy.
Senna
It helped us fend off the Aphidians once, but they are plotting to steal it and use it to overtake our lands.
Senna
Please, Amy. You must transport your heirloom to your new world, or else all of Avalon may be colonized by our adversaries.
Amy
Where even is Avalon? I've never even heard of it.
Senna
You can reach it quickly from where you are if you head to these coordinates: 23.774.23 and 84.180.23
Amy
What? Right now? I have to get home for dinner. If I'm late coming home from the gym again, my aunt will ground me from climbing.
Senna
You will be able to return home soon. Please, it is a great adventure and a small sacrifice to make for your homeland.
Amy
Yeah. I'll do it. I'm on my way now.
Senna
You are your parents' daughter, no doubt! :) Let me know when you arrive.
Amy
The coordinates go to Dillard Forest Park. I'm here, but it's just a giant cliff face...
Senna
Perfect for climbing!
Amy
Without any ropes or safety belts?
Senna
All Avalonians are natural-born climbers. You'll only need to go thirty feet up.
Amy
Well, I guess I am in my climbing clothes right now...
Amy
Ok. I'm going to do it.
Amy
Omg, there's a cave up here!! It's really dark tho and I don't have a flashlight, just my cell...
Senna
The tunnel will bend to the left after a few feet, and then you'll see the light.
Senna
Amy? Did you go in?
Amy
Oh my god. It's beautiful.
Senna
Welcome to Avalon :)
Amy
How am I so high up? I can see waterfalls from here! What a jungle!
Senna
It's a beautiful place.
Amy
Where do I go from here?
Senna
4AW.32T.3P and 764T.A4G.WED.
Amy
Whoa, those shouldn't be coordinates, but when I plug them into the phone, they work!! How do I get there though?
Senna
Climbing, of course! You're a good tree climber too, yes?
Amy
Ummm, for two miles? I don't think so. I'd rather walk on solid ground.
Senna
NO! Aphidians crawl the ground. It's not safe for Avalonians down there.
Senna
The vines and branches of our trees are strong, don't be afraid of them breaking.
Amy
OMG. I just grabbed a vine. It IS strong. I couldn't pull it down if I wanted to. I'm swinging! Like Tarzan!
Amy
I think I see someone down below...or something. I'm going to slide down for a closer look
Senna
No, don't....the Aphidians might see you and try to knock you to the jungle floor!
Amy
OMG They're disgusting! They've got hard, scaly skin and they're all green!
Senna
Get back up, Amy, before they see you!
Amy
They already have! They're rocking the tree! D:
Senna
Quick, do you see any trees with glittering bark?
Amy
Yes, but I'm afraid to move!
Senna
Grab the bark, it's the strongest pitch you can find. Once your hands are sticky you'll be able to climb back up and away
Senna
Amy, please tell me you're okay!
Amy
I am. I think I lost them. This sticky sap is amazing! I feel like Spiderman...I'm almost to the coordinates now.
Senna
Princess Wisteria will meet you there. She'll personally deliver your Soul Flower to you.
Senna
The plant that bloomed the moment you were born and will bloom until you die.
Senna
All Avalonians have one. Yours happens to be an exceptionally magical amaranth plant.
Amy
Whoa, really? That sounds amazing!
Senna
It is, but since you are tied to your soul plant, if it is destroyed while you are in Avalon, you will die too.
Amy
So that's why my parents left? To protect me and leave my amaranth plant with the Princess?
Senna
Exactly. But such a thing is too powerful a weapon within Avalon. As soon as you remove it, we will ALL be safe again.
Amy
Hold on, I think I see someone. It might be the Princess.
Senna
She'll be waiting for you in the royal apple tree. Apples are a sacred fruit in Avalon.
Senna
I don't know if you have ever seen one in your world of Oregon.
Amy
Uh, I think I know what they look like. ;) It's definitely her. Hang on, I'll talk to her.
Amy
I can't understand her!!
Senna
Oh! I guess you never learned Avalonian living in Oregon...
Senna
Press the star button on your phone, it'll translate for you.
Princess Wisteria
Hello, Amranth. It is an honor to have you here. There isn't much time, but I am grateful you have come.
Princess Wisteria
You must take your soul flower to your other world.
Princess Wisteria
In Avalon, its blossoms are explosive and can result in fantastic strength when consumed.
Princess Wisteria
It is too dangerous in this world. Godspeed.
Senna
Has she given you the flower? Is everything alright?
Amy
Yeah, it's potted in this weird clay satchel. It's so tiny and beautiful, but...Senna?
Amy
Do I really have to go back to Oregon? I'll be able to come back, right?
Senna
That won't be possible without your soul flower here :( You can only exist in Avalon as long as your soul flower does.
Amy
Oh...ok...Princess Wisteria is ushering me away. Does she know grateful I am?
Amy
For...getting this chance to come home.
Senna
I'll be sure to forward that sentiment :) Now, hurry home.
Amy
I feel all turned around though...I think I heard a noise down there.
Senna
Try not to draw attention to yourself. If you run into any trouble, let me know.
Amy
A BRANCH JUST SNAPPED ABOVE ME
Amy
I think someone's trying to shoot me down out of this nut tree!
Senna
Don't drop your soul flower!
Amy
They're slingshotting rocks and shooting arrows!
Senna
I'll send for the Avalon Guard, keep moving!
Amy
I can't...I'll be exposed! I'm scared!
Amy
OMG I think they're trying to saw the tree down!
Senna
The guard is on it's way, stay calm and try to get to a different tree.
Senna
Amy, are you alright?
Amy
They're retreating! I did it!
Amy
The Amranth plant, the Princess said it was explosive. I crushed some of the blossoms and coated some of the nuts in it.
Senna
Improvised bombs! That's ingenious, Amy!
Amy
I hear something coming from overhead...the guard?
Senna
Yes, they say they see you now. They'll escort you the rest of the way to the cave.
Amy
Maybe I could stay a little longer though? See more of Avalon and meet more people? I never even got to meet you!
Senna
You have to get home safely. I'm afraid there isn't time for all that.
Amy
Nothing ever changes. I'm just going to go home and be boring old Amy again.
Senna
No, you will always be special, Amaranth :)
Amy
Wait - something's wrong. Everyone looks worried. They're leaving. What's going on?
Senna
Another group of Aphidians have been spotted heading toward the great apple tree. The guard has to return to protect Princess Wisteria.
Amy
Oh. okay. I guess this is goodbye then. I can see the cave face from here.
Senna
You've done a great service to Avalon, Amy. Your parents would be so proud of you.
Amy
Send the guard back! Help!
Senna
What is it? Is it more Aphidians?
Amy
He's huge! He's blocking the cave entrance!
Senna
Wait, how big is he?
Amy
Almost twice my size! I can't get past him
Senna
Oh no. That's their warrior king, Jut-roll
Senna
I'll alert the guard immediately. Stay safe, Amy. Just don't let him take your soul flower.
Amy
I can't fend him off. He's going to take the amaranth plant.
Senna
The guard will be there soon
Amy
He's too big. I don't have the strength to fight him. I'm sorry.
Senna
Don't worry Amy, just get out of there. It'll be okay.
Amy
My parents left Avalon to keep it safe. I don't want that to be in vain.
Amy
I've got to destroy this plant.
Senna
No! It'll kill you!
Senna
The guard says you're in sight, they say you're alive!
Senna
They say they see you FIGHTING him!
Senna
How is this possible!?
Amy
Oh my God. I just forced him off the cliffside
Amy
It's such a long way down...
Senna
Do you still have your soul flower? Is the amaranth safe?
Amy
No, I had to destroy it to protect Avalon.
Amy
I had to destroy it and keep it from the Aphidian King...so I just swallowed it.
Amy
I've never felt so strong. I feel invincible.
Senna
No one has ever done such a thing.
Amy
Does this mean...does this mean I can come back to Avalon?
Senna
We will welcome you home with the highest of honors!
Amy
Then I'll return soon.
Amy
I think I should get back to my aunt though.
Amy
She's probably worried about me.
Amy
I'm going to be REALLY late for dinner.
