...we go. So, you all wanna know just what Miasma's all about, huh? Well, listen up kids as the old man in the corner tells you the tale that started it all. Actually, it was a dream of mine. Or a nightmare, however you wanna put it. Anyway! Old man! Tell the people the story!

An exchange student in a place called Lybrinnia
A violent past for a violent nation unraveled in my Fundamentals book
A hand piece of gold with two rings and a finger piece
Weaponry stashed under the stairs of the dungeon. Why?
Advanced weaponry seen in the arms of a small army walking past the dungeon
The violent past is seen as;
Two silhouettes, a skinny boy and a man in his 60's with voices coming from the book.
"Look after the place while I'm gone"
Both turned to look at each other
The old man puts his hands around the boys' neck and starts shaking him.
Confused, student dismisses this a his imagination
Student goes to his new teacher and talks about his piece and how it is used for the Internet.
Looks through normal study book to find a blank piece of paper to write a letter for his friends back home. Can't find one. Flips through his fundamentals book quickly.
A voice is talking to him. It's his old teacher. It says;
"My teachings tell a story. If you try to read through it slowly it won't make any sense. But flip through your book quickly and you may get the whole picture"
As this is being said, the student can see the story of the furnace man and his boy clearly.
It goes;
Silhouettes of the two.
"Look after the place while I'm gone, right boy?"
Both face each other. Man tries to strangle boy. Boy fights back. Old man gives up and leaves.
Later, the boy is cleaning, no silhouettes, real, up the smelting furnace and the small moat that his master had filled with the smelted iron that no-one wanted. View is from the old man's eye level. Boy looks up and horror fills his face.
"NO! NO! NOOOO!!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" The boy screams for mercy of the old man. The old man laughs and gives the boy an almighty push. The boy is sent flying into the moat of smelted metal.
The old man laughs for a few seconds, but then realizes that the smelter is out of control. A holy light appears at the bottom of the stairs of the dank room. The boy has re-appeared and is running for his life up the stairs to freedom. The room is quickly filling with smelted iron and the old man perishes in the rising levels of iron.
Outside of a castle, a young girl, perhaps the boys' age, is climbing the castle gates. The castle is huge; inside the courtyard is a neat little town with a bakery, a deli and other houses and stuff. The girl is muttering to herself;
"Why should the grown-ups have all the fun? Why can't we kids do this thing more often?"
An explosion almost sends her falling off the gate. She climbs quickly to the top and sees one of the castle walls pouring out smelted iron from a huge hole in the wall, pouring its load onto the town. Camera at a medium close up to show the shock on the girls face as wind slightly blows and colour of smelted iron reflects off her face.
End dream.

((PS: That was an actual dream, so it's rather disjointed, so yeah...keep dreaming, people!))
