"Now it is high time you begin your training!" the voice boomed. Astra screamed as the ground beneath her opened up and she plunged into darkness, trying in vain to keep her skirt from flying up so her underwear would not be seen. She hit an incline and slid down a strangely slick slope for several minutes before bursting through a hatch and landing hard on rocky floor. Looking around Astra realized she was in a rather strange place. The rocky floor she was on was in fact part of a large stone platform somehow suspended in mid-air over an abyss. On each side of the platform were more stone platforms, stretching as far as the eye could see, each one spaced just far enough apart for Astra to be able to jump over, though if she miscalculated even in the slightest she would plunge into the abyss and it would be game over. On the platform directly to the north of her Astra saw a giant hammer wielding minotaur guarding a chest of gold. On the platform to the east she could see a long hemp rope tied to the side of the platform and leading down into the abyss. The platform to the south was strangely empty, and the platform to the west she could see a strange glowing icon floating in the air, which read "1UP". Also, Astra noticed a part of a raw, bloody leg of lamb lying on the ground next to her and realized she was hungry. She again cursed her captors - did they consider her a wild animal, to eat raw meat like that? Or were they simply not thinking of her needs at all?
