Contents of GRYPHONS.D64 - DARKWOOD II: GRYPHON'S PEARL:

An adventure game by Zosia the Pious (Elise Boucher) 

This is one of several adventure games that I downloaded from Q-Link about 
10 years ago. Well, I actually downloaded a LOT more, but this is one of the 
few that I actually kept since it was one of the better ones.

Quoted from the DOC file:

  These are the words of Lo'ana, the Deedspeaker, a precious telling of the 
  events leading to the Queen's arrival: 
  
  Once, in a time before any living man remembers, a King, strong of spirit 
  but weak of body, died without an heir. Most people thought this was the 
  end of the Darkwoodrealm, but a prophet, called Antetime, the One Always 
  Here, spake of a woman that would come from a world away and lead Darkwood 
  from ruin. Many years passed waiting for the woman, and the realmdwellers 
  began to doubt the prophsy. Foolish men! For she came, assisted by an 
  experience-young cleric. Many questioned the necessity of the cleric, but 
  the Queen, called Yannah by the realmdwellers but Didi to those she was 
  fond of, would hear no doubts. The cleric had saved her life, she said, 
  and had always been a loyal friend. She would not abandon the cleric now. 
  Nor did she, for the cleric proved wise and well able to rule the realm in 
  the company of the Queen, banishing all question of necessity. All was 
  well. Together, they lead Darkwood to rebirth.                   
  
  So goes the song of Lo'ana. But it is not the end of the song, for forces    
  began again to dwell in Darkwood, affecting the dwellers of Darkwood      
  Castle in different ways. The queen, Didi, began to walk in her sleep,      
  crying the name Kas, and the cleric soon after suffered unsought trips 
  into the Dreamestate, returning sweatsoaked and memoryless, knowing only 
  that a battle would soon be fought and won. So be it.
