Deep in an unmapped portion of the forest, you see a shallow river. Surging purple and blue psychic energy runs through it. In the brilliant light, glimpses of events from the past constantly emerge and vanish in an instant. Images of mighty warriors in their greatest moments. Emperors seizing a foreign throne. Two life-long lovers locking eyes for the first time. All of history itself twists and surges through the shimmering, magical energy.

When you reach down and touch it, the energy parts around your fingers. It is cool to the touch. The images become clearer and last longer. They are no longer fragments of a moment, but rather an event played in the theater of your mind’s eye.

From the energy, a voice within the magic speaks directly into your mind. “Welcome to the History Channel.”
