Dave's ears were caressed by the gentle sweet tone,
And a beautiful glow, around the lady, did shone.
He wondered what sort of magic she held,
For her song and her music strongly compelled.

The woman, she spoke and Dave was entranced.
Down the small path, he slowly advanced.
"My child, trouble's nigh; you have a great task.
There is a great feat, of you I must ask.

"The war, it is rising; of this, there's no doubt.
The Molemullions shall fail if your help is without.
There is only one way that victory is yours:
It requires your bravery and t'is a great chore.

"To surpass the evil Leprechaun kind,
and bring down the King: The Rings you must find!
You hold in your hand, one of the six.
But just one will accomplish little but tricks.

"You need all of the rings, together once more.
And now comes the importance of this furry great door.
It will bring you to lands far from this place.
You must seek out the one with the warm, gentle face.

"He possesses a Ring and will give it to you.
His want is to help you, this is certain and true.
From there, he will tell you which way you must go;
The path to the second Ring, he will easily show.

"Please take heed of what I have said,
or your race of Molemullions will surely be dead.
Go now, and swiftly, through that great door.
I will certainly see you on your journey once more."

Dave was in shock but still feeling quite easy.
Her beautiful song had made him all breezy.
He wondered if he should do what she said,
And if, through that door, he really should tread?

MAIN CHARACTERS:
-- Dave - A curious young Molemullian who loves adventure.
-- Seamus O'Greary - A greedy Leprechaun who wants Dave's ring so he can give it to the Leprechaun King and be rewarded with riches.

OTHER CHARACTERS:
-- The Molemullians - Small, mole-like creatures who live in an underground city which is encased in glass in the middle of the Leprechaun city. Why? You tell me.
-- The Leprechauns - Greedy little bastards who live in a magic underground city and are planning a war with the Molemullians; a war which probably has something to do with the Leprechaun King's rings, one of which Dave's father somehow acquired.
-- Badgels - The ugly, vicious creatures with red beady eyes who kidnapped Dave from his Molemullian city. They are feared by Leprechauns and are somehow involved in the upcoming war between the Leprechauns and the Molemullians.
-- The Lady in Yellow - Plays mystifying harp music and honestly wants to help Dave save the Molemullians.
-- The Green Devil - Informed Dave of the war-to-come, and seemed to be interested in helping him, but only in exchange for Dave's key.
-- Balou - Small mouselike creature who lives in the Leprechaun city and seems to oppose this war they're plotting. He wanted to help Dave steal the ring from the Leprechaun vault, but then he suddenly ditched him, and we don't really know what he's up to now.
-- Gurgle - Blob creature who lives in the secret prison-room above the Leprechaun city. He sleeps all the time and would love to have a magic ring, because that would be cool.
-- Dave's Father - Deceased. Somehow acquired one of the Leprechaun King's rings.
-- A Troll - Lives in a cabin on a knoll.
-- A Huge Bird, a Shark/Eel/Mutant, and a Giant Squid all exist.

IMPORTANT OBJECTS:
-- Magic Rings - There are 6 of them, and they each have special powers. When they all combine, it's totally amazing. Dave has one of them, and one of them is in the Leprechaun vault. The rest are hitherto unaccounted for.
-- The King's Keys - Currently Dave has the Leprechaun King's precious keyring. It's usually kept very safe, yet somehow Balou stole it from the King, and he left it in the prison room for Dave to find. There are four keys; One of them goes to the broom closet in the prison room. One of them goes to the vault where the King keeps the only magic ring he has left. The other two... what do YOU think?
