《(OLD VER.) TRX's Adventures》Prologue
Advertisement
This is the story of TRX and her friends. TRX is a little yellow triangular-shaped creature, and she looks cute. Roundy is like a circle, and he is red. Blocky is like a blue square, and she likes to freeze things. Pointy is like an arrow... or a rocket, he can fly and he can explode... And he likes to do that a lot, he loves it.
TRX and Roundy were resting in the forest around a campfire. It was nighttime. Stars adorned the sky.
Out of nowhere, something moved through the bushes: it was Blocky, who had gone for a walk, bringing some wood and ropes.
TRX, thanks to what Blocky had brought, began to build something.
At that moment, in outer space, a meteorite was approaching the planet.
After a while, TRX finished: she had made a wooden sword. She raised it and, in her imagination, a light from the sky appeared above the sword.
Blocky and Roundy marveled at that sword, which had a beautiful design.
The meteor was getting closer and closer, its impact was imminent.
While TRX kept raising the sword, Pointy flew at high speed towards the others, but he couldn't brake well and ended up colliding with TRX's sword, which fell into the bonfire. Everyone was a little sad about it.
Just then, the meteorite fell, startling the group. It had fallen on top of a nearby mountain, so TRX and his friends decided to investigate.
They went to the mountain, but halfway there they were met with a big surprise: due to the collision, the path was blocked.
Pointy, without thinking twice, decided to shoot himself into the landslide and exploded, opening the way. TRX and his friends continued on their way, leaving Pointy behind for a few moments as he was still regenerating.

After a while, they had reached the top of the mountain. The meteorite was there and had made a large crater. It was still hot.
Blocky, seeing that the meteorite might be made of some metal, decided to mine it. She jumped on the meteorite, froze part of its surface so it wouldn't burn, created her famous ice axe-pickaxe again and started mining... Or at least she tried to, because at the first hit, the meteorite started to split, which frightened the group. Blocky quickly moved away from the meteorite.
From the crack, a beam of light began to shoot into the sky, which expanded greatly. After that, a strange root started to come out as well... It was not a root, a strange being started to emerge from that crack. It was an abomination: it looked like a log, but it had many eyes and mouths (and eyes inside its mouth), it also had several rings around it. That creature changed its appearance constantly, it was still very similar in spite of that.
The creature looked at the group and, in a voice of thunder, said the following:
- "I know what only one of you will be able to understand what I am about to tell you... It was not a mere coincidence that I fell in this place... But before I tell you something, I must test you. You must collect four pieces of a portal, which are found in four different temples in the underworld. After you find them, you must return to me."
TRX explained the situation to her friends with signs, and they agreed.
"It looks like your friends decided to do it, magnificent. But, before you go, I must hand you this coin, it will be useful to you later on."
Were the words of this unknown creature. After this, TRX and her friends left.

The next day, TRX and the others went to look for caves that would give them access to the depths. All the caves led nowhere. Everyone was disappointed, until Roundy came up with a great idea: to mine until they reached the underground.
The others approved of the idea and, thanks to Blocky's pickaxe-axes, they began to mine. It was arduous work, but in the end they succeeded.
That area of the underground had ceilings adorned with various precious rocks and several stalagmites. In the distance they could see some very old structures, which were different from each other. There were four of them and, according to what the creature said, in each of them there was a piece of portal, so they decided to separate.
In TRX's temple was the upper part of the portal, it had very strange designs and was colored red with yellow. In Pointy's temple was the lower part. In Blocky's was one of the sides and in Roundy's was the other.
Then they brought all the pieces to the surface and went to the mountain where the creature was, at that time they were still wondering what they were for.
- "So you made it... Now build it."
Said the creature. TRX and her friends did so. They finished after a while. Everyone stared in awe at that portal.
- "Now you must pass through it, but first I must give you one last gift."
TRX and her friends began to glow, which lasted for a few moments.
- "I have given you the ability to talk to other living beings, for this reason you are now able to understand my words... Now pass through the portal and be sure to protect the coin I gave you."
They all passed through the portal and disappeared without a trace. The creature was left alone, and said to itself:
- "I know they must find the Hero, but... They are still weak, sending them there will make them strong enough to withstand all the things that will happen to them... But still I know they are going to make it; however, what about the Hero? That information was not revealed to me... I must stop thinking about such things, my work here has already been culminated."
The creature quickly began to disappear and a beam of light shot into the sky.
