Cursed Celtai, Creator of Cryptids

You are travelling along, wandering the lands of distant places when you suddenly you spot something or someone in the distance. Curious, you make your way towards the strange, unknown entity to come across what looks like some sort of portal. Its glowing, fragmented contents effortlessly seeming to spill out and scatter across the land before you as if trying to lure others to its location like a trap. With a shiver suddenly going down your spine, you stare at the portal in a trance-like state. Without thinking, you reach out your paw towards the portal, even if every urge in your being is telling you not to.

Suddenly there is a flash of light and then everything goes dark...

Some time passes, though you are unaware how much time has actually passed. You blink repeatedly as your vision clears and adjusts to where the portal has taken you. Before you can utter a word as your vision completely clears, you hear a voice. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A visitor in my realm? How unusual." The voice would speak as you looked up to see the stranger before you.

This creature was unlike any creature you have encountered before. It had a jewel-colored body that reminded you of treasure itself. The colors burning your eyes as if looking into the sun. You would blink a few more times to refocus on the creature before noticing more features about it. However, what stood out the most, was the hellfire aura that emitted from this great being. You would instantly back up a bit as this powerful being intimidated you just being in it's presence. Trying your best to keep it together as the creature's dark, soul-staring eyes stared back at you. It was clear that the creature was examining you, as if to see if you were going to make a move or not.

Suddenly, the creature would speak again, seeing that you were still taken back by the whole situation. "Heh, seeing as you're not going to say anything, I guess that leaves only me. You may call me Celtai. I am the ruler of this realm, the Creator of Cryptids." He would smirk proudly as he towered over you. "So, what is it that you are looking for, mortal? Something must have brought you here, it's not often I get visitors after all." He would add with a cocky expression on his face.

You would look up at the great entity in awe seeing how much bigger he actually was to you before clearing your throat to find the words. The entity's expression would change as your explained your situation and reason for being there. "Ah, I see now. Heh, very interesting indeed. Very well, if that is what you wish. I find you very intriguing my dear, so I shall let you live this time as I have grown a liking to you." He would chuff before shaking his luxurious icy mane. He would then let out a mighty roar that seemed to shake the heavens and cause the very pits of hell to rise, another portal would open before you. "This shall take you to where your deepest, darkest desires lay. However, if you ever find another portal that leads back to me, I would not mind a visit, especially if it's from you." He'd purr with a wink before setting himself upon his royal pedestal. "Till then, my fair beauty."

And with that you went through the portal, what happened after that and where you ended up all depends on what you seek for most of all...
