Chapter 1: A New Beginning
                        --------------------------

   The wind blows.

   A dark figure moves around in the rubble.  The moon is full, and it
gives him the boon of shadows.

   Slowly he climbs up one of the larger rocks and scours the countryside.
He puts his hand to his forehead and turns, examining the horizon.  The
wind blows again, his clothes and cape ruffle in the wind.

   "I love these calm little moments before the storm," he says to
himself.

   The light catches his dark features in a deathly contrast.  "It seems
that the world has changed much in my absence.  I wonder if it was for
the better.  We shall see.  For now, though, I need to find something to
do.  This place bores me.  Upward and onward to new things, better
things!"

   The mass of dark clothing slides down the side of the rock, which
crumbles behind him as he goes.

   As he walks away from the ruins he sings: "Let me introduce myself.  I
am a man of great wealth and taste!"

   He continues after a slight pause, "I hope you guess my name!  But
what's confusing you is just the nature of my game!"

   His voice fades into the distance, his form only a dark blot on the
horizon.

   The wind blows.
