1.  Arrival

I arrived in a small, dark room.  I could just make out a descriptive book on a table in front of me.  It was very old and didn't appear to be working.

On my left-hand side was a window.  I looked outside.  It was fairly dull, but I could just make out a lake with an orange tinge...!  I was on an island in D'ni.  How on earth...  did I end up here?

On the wall I was first facing, I could just make out three symbols on a large nara door on the wall.  Upon further investigation, I found they were the D'ni numbers 9, 3 and 6.  I copied them into my journal:

9, 3 and 6

There were also three letters inscribed on the large nara door on the wall.  I copied them into my journal as well:

The D'ni wall inscription

I can't read D'ni, so I couldn't decipher what it meant.

Turning to the numbers, I noticed that they looked suspiciously like buttons, so I tried pressing them in numerical order: 3, 6, 9, or middle, right, left.

Suddenly, the large nara door opened up, revealing a room with six linking books!  I'd found a book room!

Fortunately, there was a lantern above to light my view.  The six books were different colours, so I started out by drawing this table in my journal (I always carry a journal around with me):
 
Book Description
1 Blue/Purple
2 Grey/Black
3 Sky (blue w/clouds)
4 Grey Marble
5 Mystic Green
6 Brown
The Table

Since I had nothing to lose (there was no way I could get out the window), I opened the blue/purple book to the final page.  I saw a strange, spherical building on a rock, and a larger island on the horizon.  This was all located in a beautiful blue sea and under a beautiful blue sky.  I took a deep breath, gulped, and placed my palm on the image.
