Serene Apocalypse.
How about a bedtime story.

There was once a young woman who received a crystal ball from a mysterious, darkly clad stranger. For years she would look into the crystal ball and see nothing in return- not a thing. As she grew and matured she began to think of it as a mere novelty of her childhood- a trinket to get nostalgic over.

The day of her sixteenth birthday came. It was a joyous, memorable day- much more joyous and exciting than she expected. The day fully partied out, she approached her room when she was startled by the strangest blue glow emitting out her doorway.

Entering cautiously, the glow almost blinded her- it was coming from her old toy chest, as magnificent and beautiful as anything she had ever seen. Sparkles floated in the air wherever the glow permeated the air, seeming to call to her.

Delighted, she opened the toy box to see what was casting out this light- it was the crystal ball, the old one she had received from that old man many a year ago, like a beacon it shone out.

She leaned in closer, answering it's call. Peering at it, she saw in it her one true love. She couldn't tell where he was- the best she could do was guess. Admiring her love, she quickly knew that she had to find this man- for herself and, maybe, for him.

The very next day, she began to pack and plan- her parents were agast, confused- scared. They asked her "Why are you seeking this which surely must be merely folly? You could end up dead, or worse!"

She could provide no real answer, but remained sure in her course.

Without anyway to convince her otherwise, they let her leave- worried sick, but still confident in their daughters strength- both of mind and body.

As she left, each of her friends and loved ones asked the same question- truly, even before she reached the city gate, she was severely disheartened by the lack of optimism for her journey.

As she approached the gate, there was one last person to say goodbye to- a childhood friend whom had been like her sister for as long as she could remember.

The adventurer-to-be explained the situation and what she had experienced to her 'sister', getting nods and "hmm"s throughout. When she was done, her friend nodded to herself and informed the lovesick adventurer she was coming with her.

Surprised, she asked "Why would you accompany someone who is surely seeking mere folly? You could die, or worse!"

She just smiled, having no real reason..
