Ah, you're getting closer to home now.\n\nYou can hear the rushing of the river that separates your village from the rest of the forest.\n\n<<if $visited_mushrooms eq "no">><<display 'pick up mushrooms'>><<endif>>\n\n[[Go west|bridge path]]\n[[Go southwest|birch forest]].

The bridge's planks creak as you tentatively walk across it. It is quite narrow, and long enough to straddle the canyon with the river below. The view from here is amazing. You should probably get someone to draw it someday...\n\n...\n\nAh, this bridge is really, really long...\n\n[[->|almost home]]

This was probably done on purpose. The thin, tall trees let lots of light in for the grasses below. Their whitish colour really helps to make the area nice and bright, too.\n\n[[Go northeast|mushrooms]].\n[[Go southeast|sparse forest]].\n[[Go southwest|deer]].
You arrive at the village. There's still a few people here, you think, but they're probably sleeping.\n\n...\n\nThat was a really good nap...\n\nAh, there's your house.\n\n[[->|home]]
You push open the door to your house. It's standard to make the front door of a home only able to be opened by the people who live there, which is nice. There are still some people who carry around keys, though. \n\n...\n\nYour house is nice and clean. That's surprising. Hardly anything in this village is "clean". You usually don't tidy up that often, but all your stuff is here, so it's definitely still your house. That's nice, you suppose.\n\nAh, well, time to see what you've collected....\n\n<<display 'Inventory>>\n\n... yup, that should be good enough, you guess. It could always be better, but it could <html><i>always</i></html> be better, you know?\n\n<<if $visited_turtle eq "yes">>Uh, also, you brought that turtle back to the lake, right?

<<set $visited_bench = "yes">>\n... You haven't had a chance to sit on this bench for a while.\n\nThe seat still feels warm, thanks to the sun.\n\nFrom here, you can truly appreciate the way the branches filter the sunlight, almost as if they were grown to do this. You know it's not magic, though. It doesn't have the same magical feel, even if it does feel, well, magical.\n\nAfter resting for a while, you realize that you've probably been here too long, and it'd probably be good to continue.
<<set $visited_turtle = "yes">>\nIn the middle of the path, you notice a turtle sitting there. Why is there a turtle so far from its home? Poor thing. You should probably bring it back to the lake...\n\n"Hey, are you lost? Do you want to go back home?"\n\n...\n\nThe turtle blinks and turns around. That seems like a yes, you suppose. You unceremoniously scoop it up and dump it in your [[magical bag|Inventory]].\n\n[img[http://24.media.tumblr.com/7f9a4e071b96ceae80b59f3e2bcfa304/tumblr_mx0j3j2b5s1s547ugo5_100.png]]
The end of the bridge is in sight. You don't remember it being this long the last time you crossed it. How strange. It's probably just residual magic, the land is sensitive to such things...\n\nAha! The end posts. Your home is in sight.\n\n[[->|village]]
Oh yeah, weren't you supposed to put the turtle back in the lake?\n\nYou hurriedly dump out your bag without thinking. The magic means that it only ever gives you what you're searching for, which is great, but...\n\nThe turtle falls into the water on its tummy with a plop. Luckily, there weren't any sharp objects underneath, so nothing bad happened to it except the disorientation of being dropped from such a height.\n\nYou watch it rejoin with its other turtle friends. They look a lot happier now. It's adorable.

The soft trickling of the creek besides you slowly wakes you from your reverie. You have no idea how long you've been asleep.\n\nThe nearby lake is the only place you can get water from, as you don't have a well, so most days you make the long trek out to get some water. \n\n[[->|2]]

<<set $visited_berry_bushes = "yes">>\nOh well, no point dwelling on that. The berries are probably all delicious, anyway.

Aha! Now you're on the right track. This path goes directly back to your house. It's kind of sad that you have to leave the forest alone again, but it is getting pretty late<<if $visited_bench eq "yes">>, especially because you spent all that time sitting down over there<<endif>>.\n\nYou suppose you could go home if you wanted to, but... hmm... are you sure you've explored everything?\n\n[[Cross the bridge]].\n\n[[Go east|mushrooms]].
You come to a large wooden wall-\n\nWait. .... No, that isn't a wall. Whoa.\n\nYou look up and try to see the height of these massive trees, but they're just too big. Somehow, light is able to shine down, even though the thick canopy shouldn't really let that happen.\n\nYou'd try to figure out why, but your neck is starting to hurt from looking up at all these things.\n\n[[Go west|mountain forest]].\n[[Go northeast|turtle]].
You go up close to the deer to get to the bushes. There's lots and lots of redberry bushes, a few blackberry ones, and some strange ones with pink leaves... you haven't seen those before. Where did they come from?\n\n<<if $visited_berry_bushes eq "no">>\n<<display 'pick up berries'>><<endif>>\n\n[[Go northwest|deer]][[.|bunnies]]

You follow the path to the left.\n\nAfter a sharp bend in the path, you notice that there's a weird fountain blocking the middle?\n\nNo, wait. It's just a really run-down birdbath. You're beginning to wonder if that "nap" really screwed with your brain. \n\nA few tiny birds paddle their way around the bowl (that is inexplicably full even though it hasn't rained for quite a while), chirping loudly at you as you get close but refusing to take off. Guess that magic water is pretty good...\n\n[[Go northeast|mountain forest]].

This part of the forest is carpeted in all sorts of strange plants and flowers. It's mostly sage, though, partly due to your tending to this place. It tastes good in soup, and looks pretty, too.

An archway of branches creates a natural entrance to this part of the forest. The branches are gnarled and twisted in strange ways.

<<set $visited_big_oak_tree = "yes">>\nGlancing down, you notice a few acorns on the ground.
