Story Dialogue
With hood pulled over his head Dribble makes his way through the busy streets of the Ramble.ON city making sure not to accidentally bump shoulders with passing by strangers. As he gets closer to Azip’s cart he starts to pick up his feet a little faster until he stops on his heels right in front of the potion cart, but Azip is nowhere to be found. Dribble can hear clanking of glass coming from behind the cart. He leans on his tippy toes to see Azip behind his cart organizing his potions, blissfully unaware of the customer at his stand. Dribble pulls down his hood and gently knocks on the cart to alert Azip of his presence, Azips’ head moves viciously upwards with a thrust banging his head against the upper shelf of his cart, knocking bottles all over the ground with a clank. Azip leans up straight, rubbing his head and smiling, “Oh hey there Dribble, sorry for all the commotion. What can I get for you, the usual?” he says with a giggle. Dribble nods with a smile as he taps his fingers in rhythm on the cart’s table top as he looks off in space. Dribble then looks back at Azip and says “you know what, how about I get a health potion also.” Azip nods, “Dribble, you’re not planning on going any place dangerous are you? Like the deep woods?” Dribbles eye flash for a second and then he smiles and says “Wouldn’t even think about it.” Azip reply’s with a sarcastic sigh, “Oh good, because I was going to say that would be very reckless, especially for a wizard that is less capable then others.” He winks at dribble as he finishes packing the last of the potions into a sack. Dribble grabs the sack of potions swiftly and runs off pulling up his hood simultaneously throwing a couple of rams as payment as he yells back with a smirk, “I am very capable!” as he holds his potions up high and jangles it.

(After buying his potions Dribble goes home and puts them away. While at home he pulls out book about the world of Ramble.ON and turns to a chapter labeled, “Deep Woods” and jots down notes about dangerous plants and animals found there. He goes and grabs a couple potions and puts them with the notes and a map into his cape then climbs down the ladder from his home.)
​
Dribble slides down the ladder to outside landing in the grass with a thud, then spins on his heels off to the deep woods, but as soon as his feet hit the ground to take off running he hits what feels like a brick wall. Dribble lands on the ground with a hard smack, he looks up and sees a mountain standing in front of him, or rather Topa. Topa stands there in front of Dribble laughing at the top of her lungs, she holds out her hand for dribble to take. Topa laughs, “Woah there buddy, sorry for getting in your way speed racer! . . . Need a hand?” Dribble smiles and grabs a hold of Topa’s hand as she hoists him up to his feet, “Topa I can’t play with you today.” Dribble says distractedly as he pat’s off the dirt clinging to his cape and walks past Topa. Topa steps in front of dribble blocking his path, “but the bakery just opened and they are going to sell out of cheese custard if we don’t hurry and I need you to help me pay for them!” she said whining as dribble laughs and says “I don’t have money to spend on cheese custard and especially for you to eat them all again, besides I already have plans for today by myself.” Topa replies with a gasp “It’s not my fault that you didn’t grab one fast enough!” “Topa you have enhanced speed, how am I supposed to compete with that?” “Well if you know so well that I have enhanced speed then you could have use one of your little potions to prepare for that, but that’s beside the point. We need to go get them before they sell out and if they sell out then I’m going to have to buy the salt custard and I hate the salt custard. It’s all crunch and cold and taste like boogers. Who even eats that junk? Grandmas, I bet grandmas eat them, grandmas always like the things no one buys. I think they buy them because they feel bad that no one likes them. But cheese custard it’s gooey, warm, flaky, and taste like... flying. And who doesn’t like flying? No one, that’s who. But any way, will you come with me, please?” as soon as Topa stopped rambling on she noticed that dribble was nowhere to be found and he had left her standing there talking to herself for who knows how long.
Dribble is off exploring in the deep woods when he comes to a cliff that is way too steep to climb up, so he pulls out a levitation potion and pores it onto himself. Dribble beings to float up and up till he reaches the top edge of the cliff where the potions effects wear off. As he places his feet firmly on the ground he notices blocking his path are creeping vines, which are extremely dangerous and are known for strangling anything that crosses their path. Dribble just ran out of his only levitation potion and no other possible way down the cliff, his only option is to go through the creeping vines. Dribble checks his cape for potions to solve this problem and finds that the only potion that would do the trick was enhanced speed and he only had one bottle left. He pours it onto himself and starts running over and passed the creeping vines, but they are chasing after him. The potion starts to wear off and the vines are catching up until his enhance speed is completely gone and the vines start wrapping around him. The vines are completely covering him but his hands are reaching out for anything to grab, until he feels something grab back. All of a sudden he is pulled free from the creeping vines and topa is holding his hand running away from the danger. Topa came to find him after she talked to Azip in town when she was buying cheese custards, by herself. Azip said he thought Dribble was going to go exploring in the deep woods, and Topa knew that her friend might need her help. After realizing that maybe potions won’t work perfectly for everything and he might need some help from his friends along the way, Dribble decides that maybe it would be OK if Topa tagged along on this explorations. . . just this once. As they are exploring they come across a path that seems to be untouched by wizards. Being the adventuress duo they decide to take the path even though it will be near impossible to make it through all the over growth. Somehow they find a way through the path to a clearing which reveals a ruin. As they are examining these lost ruins, dribble notices something that is catching his eye on the shamble of rocks circling the center of the ruins. They are covered in strange symbols, that somehow begin to make sense to dribble and he begins to read the symbols that are leading him to the center of the ruin where a dusty and over grown crystal lay embedded in the ground. Dribble goes over and touches the crystal as it starts to glow and all the dust and overgrowth fade away. Dribble steps back in awe, as Topa is flabbergasted and frozen in place by sheer amazement. And as Dribble is stepping back away from the crystal, energy beings to form in his hands, and a strange language escapes his lips summoning fourth light magic. At this moment Dribble has just gained his first ever magic ability.

Wizards of Ramble.ON follows the story of Dribble, a young boy born without magic in a world of wizards. Dribble has lived his whole life hiding the fact that he doesn’t have magic, with the help of potions that he gets from the friendly merchant, Azip. Azip and Topa are some of the only people that know dribble doesn’t have natural magic abilities, and both of them are his best friends. One day Topa and Dribble discover an ancient ruin filled with strange writing. Unbelievably, Dribble can read and understand it. This ancient language gives Dribble the magic ability of Light, his first ever magic. With his magic being awaken he and his friends set out on a journey to understand the reason why this language has unlocked Dribbles dormant magic, and why it even exists in a world that only has one spoken dialect in the first place. On his journey he will unlock more of his light magic and the secrets that Ramble.ON hides, including the secret that the King is keeping locked up tight. The royal family of Ramble.ON has always been passed down through Crowns. Crown are people born with a crown of crystals floating above their head and they are considered to have very strong magical abilities. All the past Kings have held the secret, that once Crowns were not always considered the highest ranking of wizards, and there once existed some wizards that people believed to be connected to the Soul of the Crystals, called Roots. They say that the Roots could speak with the heart of the crystals, and channel it into words and magic. In this world the crystals are a natural resource for magic, it is what powers everything. The wizards of this world harness the crystals into conduits to produce their magic abilities. There are many different conduits used to cast magic, such as (Staffs, Crystal Balls, Sticks, Spores, Rings, Clothes, Wands, Hammers, Potions, and Incantations). The Roots don’t need a conduit to channel the crystal magic, their whole body flows with crystal energy, all they have to do is summon it through words. In the past there were an overabundance of Roots, until the greed for more magic and the power that the crystals produced grew too large and wizards started to use more than the crystals could give. As the crystal resource were being over consumed the more they began to diminish and so did the Roots. The King of the time knowing the affects that the Roots were suffering from the crystal consumption decided that for the greater good of the majority of the population that they would continue their crystal consumption to please the greed of magic users, and accept the loss of the few Roots. Eventually over time the Roots became extinct and the rest of the population eventually forgot of their existence. The Kings from generation’s knowing the sensitivity of the extinction of the Roots decided that it would be better for the population to never remember the Roots at all, so they wiped any trace of their existence and kept it a royal secret. That was until Dribble and his friends came along. Once they found out Dribble is a Root and how the king has been keeping their extinction a secret, they realize that they can’t stand idly by. That the public deserves to know and make their own choice to support the Kings logic or to oppose it. Even if Dribble and his friends aren’t very strong and they are few in numbers as long as they don’t give up their voices will be heard and they can make a difference.
