Soon, you reach the Tower of Recognition and land at the great marble arch. The author seeker says a few words of advice, then vanishes with a snap of his fingers.
You gulp, then pass through the huge arch. You look up at the vast interior, directly in the middle. You can barely see the ceiling, there are so many floors.
On one wall, a desk stretches. Sitting directly in the middle is a secretary. You walk over. She looks up at you and finishes her marzipan.
"Welcome to the TOR. How may I help you?"
"I'm a new author, and-"
"No need to say anymore. Stand straight."
She blinks, and suddenly, you stand before a great door. It is made of a very dark wood, and there is a large gold knocker directly in the middle. You knock twice, as instructed.
The knocker vanishes, and the doors swing open, revealing a large chamber.
You walk inside.
The chamber is made of marble. It is circular and almost empty except for a large pedastal in the middle, on which a huge book rests. A small, wrinkled man robed in black is resting on an open page.
You walk up to the pedestal and look up.
"Sir? Hello?"
He stirs and looks up at you. He quickly stands up and sits down on his stool. He pulls out a pair of glasses, and looks you up and down.
"Hello, there. I am Orion, the Sage. You have taken the first of many steps towards becoming an Author. Now you must be recorded in the great book."
He pulls out a shining feather and turns a few pages.
"Name?"
"Max Johnson."
"Age?"
"15."
After what seems like an hour, the questions end and Orion smiles and points you to a door a foot above the ground.
