[ IP ] The Return of the Princess

It is said that only those chosen by the ancient stonemasons of the city may pass through it's unbreakable gates. For there is only one road that cuts through the mountains to the towering stone walls, and along that pathway is a singular peculiar archway proclaimed to the arbiter of the worthy. It has a simple and oddly stoic design, adorned by a symbol that has long since lost any true meaning, yet blow it a caravan passes solemnly through. 
 
 It is said that only the chosen may pass through this archway, and so it is that every ordained child must be tested. A pilgrimage that can last years ultimately culminating in this one serene moment of truth as a solitary red princess glides through with a gentle pace to match her distant demeanor. 
 
 A tale or two surely accompanies her return, perhaps even treasure or hidden knowledge. Regardless, the glory or the horror of her journey matters not, for the gate has permitted her entry... and so she is worthy.
