Sugarcane

As you travel over lush grassland, the sky darkens, and clouds slowly roll in. \n\nThe sky darkens more and more as you close in on the Cave. \n\nThe grass around you turns brown, like the life is being sucked away. Darkness spreads across the land. The dead grass slumps over and grazes your boots.\n\nLife has almost been completely sucked out of the land when you arrive to the Cave's Entrance.\n\nYou stare into the pitch black of the opening. \n\n[[Enter the Cave|Cave1]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

You hold Lovendale as you walk deeper into the cave, illuminating moisted cave walls and a jagged ceiling.\n\nA heavy rumble arises and vibrates up your feet. \n\nYou examine the ground for a large crack and another troll, but the rumble subsides.\n\nYou continue and arrive at a fork in the cave.\n\nYou turn Lavendale towards the tunnel on the left. It's dark and ominious. A strange heat flows from it and hits your face. Lavendale glows brighter.\n\nYou turn Lavendale towards the tunnel on the right. It's dark and ominious. A strange chill flows from it and hits your face. Lavendale's glow simmers down.\n\n[[Left Tunnel|LTunnel]]\n[[Right Tunnel|Death5]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

You head down the left tunnel. The heat increases tremendously as you travel deeper and deeper. \n\nIt seems like hours, but only a few minutes pass when Lovendale's glow disappears, and a white light appears at the end of the tunnel.\n\nA heavy stream of hot wind comes from the white light.\n\n[[Continue|Bridge]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The Kitchen is empty.\n\nYou walk to the front door and open it, revealing The Town further down the hill.\n\n[[Go to Town|Town1]]\n[[Go back to sleep|Journey Ends]]

The door is locked, and a sign reads: "Closed Indefinitely."\n\n[[Go Back to Street|Outside2]]

You step towards the Troll with blood dripping from your clothes.\n\nA pulsating blue glow falls over you as you arrive to the Heart pumping vibrant blue blood. \n\nYou peek at the Troll, who hollers in pain and shifts with anguish.\n\n[[Stab the Heart|Heart5]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The door is locked, and a sign reads: "Closed Indefinitely."\n\n[[Go Back to Street|Outside5]]

An old, crippled dwarven shopkeeper happily greets you and says, \n\n"You're a troubled soul that doesn't have a direction. Your wife is missing and you're wondering where she is."\n\nYou're flabbergasted.\n\n[[Have you seen her?|Q2]]\n[[Where is she?|Q2]]\n[[Did she seem upset?|Q2]]

You aim Lovendale at the Troll's Heart and thrust it deep into the ravenously pumping organ.\n\nMore blue blood sprays your entire body; the Troll lets out a finally scream.\n\nThe Troll's body relaxes and disintegrates into a blue mist. \n\nInside of the mist, you goggle around for the Troll's body, but you realizes it's gone. The mist fades. \n\nAs you stand there covered in blue blood, your eye catches something red on the ground.\n\n[[Investigate|Sash]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]\n\n

The shopkeeper raises his hand and shakes his head.\n\n"Where or when is not the question pertaining to this sword. Where and when your wife disappeared, now there's an answer worth searching for. I saw her last night, heading towards the mountains... crying."\n\nYour eyes widen.\n\n"Take Lovendale and find her. I fear she is in grave danger."\n\nThe shopkeeper slides Lovendale towards you.\n\n[[Grab Lovendale and leave|Outside3]]\n[[Deny Lovendale and go home|Journey Ends]]

Through the door, a light blue aura casts over everything.\n\nYou loom around and notice you're at the very top of the Great White Mountains. You can see for miles in every direction.\n\nYour eyes gaze up a high cobblestone tower, where the bricks glow with blue veins. \n\nThe strong, deep laugh bellows from the tower. \n\nYou unsheath Lovendale and sprint up the cobblestone stairs leading to the tower. \n\n[[Continue|Finale2]]

You aim Lovendale at the Troll's achilles and charge forward.\n\nThe Troll slams its arms down and misses you.\n\nYou arrive to its Achilles and swing with all your might.\n\nLovendale's glimmering blade slices the Troll's achilles wide open. Blue blood gushes out and covers you from head to toe.\n\nThe Troll yelps with pain and rolls onto its side. It grabs its ankle and bellows with anguish.\n\nThe large opening in its chest shows the pumping heart. \n\nYou wipe blood away from your eyes and twirl Lovendale.\n\n[[Stab the Heart|Heart4]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The log snaps from your weight and crashes into the water, bringing you along with it.\n\nThe violent current drags you along the bottom and smashes you into every sharp rock on the way.\n\nYou are dead. \n\n[[Start from Last Checkpoint|Test]]

The Bartender nods to you and asks, "Get you the usual?"\n\n[[Did my wife come through here?|A1]]\n[[Leave|Outside]]

Your journey ends, and your wife never comes home.\n\nGame Over.\n\n[[Restart|Start]]

You sheath Lovendale and step over to the red object.\n\nYou crouch down and pick up a red, silk sash just like the one from your wife's robe. The one she was wearing last night.\n\nA female scream arises in the distance.\n\n[[Follow it|Test]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

An old, crippled dwarven shopkeeper happily greets you and says, \n\n"You're a troubled soul that doesn't have a direction. Your wife is missing and you're wondering where she is."\n\nYou're flabbergasted.\n\n[[Have you seen her?|Q1]]\n[[Where is she?|Q1]]\n[[Did she seem upset?|Q1]]\n\n\n

You aim Lovendale at the Troll's heart and charge forward.\n\nThe Trolls slaps you away.\n\nYou fly back and hit a rock wall; Lovendale clangs to the ground.\n\nThe Troll lets out a mighty laugh and steps towards you.\n\nYou gather your senses and pick up Lovendale. \n\nThe Troll raises its arms. \n\n[[Cut it's Achilles|Achilles]]\n[[Run Home|Journey Ends]]\n\n

You sprint towards the canal and launch yourself over the edge.\n\nYou glide through the air as water rages beneath you.\n\nYou land on the edge of the other bank, but the ground gives way under your feet. You give a final hop and land safely on the other side of the canal. \n\nIn the distance, a cave opening sits at the bottom of the largest mountain.\n\nYou peek behind you, pull out the red sash, and stare at it.\n\n[[Continue|Approach]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The End

You sprint for what seems like miles and miles towards that scream. \n\nIs it your wife?\n\nYou exit the canyon and arrive to a violent river flowing through a canal. \n\nIt looks like you could jump across, but your exhaustion could be messing with your depth perception.\n\nA log rests nearby. It'll reach across, but various bugs crawl over it. \n\n[[Grab the Log|Log]]\n[[Jump it|Jump]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]\n\n

The Great White Mountains loom behind The Town. \n\nThe central street is chaotic as Humans, Dwarves, and Elves walk around the Town in harmony and camaraderie. Children play in the street, but they move out of the way when a caravan of knights, in shiny gold armor upon their mighty steeds, speed through The Town towards the Castle.\n\nYour eyes wander to a bar that is filled with drunks and licentious morales.\n\nThen towards a General Shop with animal skins and dreamcatchers hanging on display.\n\n[[Go to Bar|Bar]]\n[[Go to Shop|Shop]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The door sits there with the iron handle and small hole.\n\nYou rub the ring and slide it into the hole.\n\nA CLICK and a CLANK sound off; the door opens by itself.\n\nA refreshing cool breeze hits your face from the dark, omnious world beyond the door. \n\nA strong, deep laugh bellows from the darkness. \n\nLovendale vibrates on your hip.\n\n[[Go through Door|Finale]]\n[[Go Home|Nope2]]

The Dragon closes in and angles its body upwards, brandishing its claws.\n\nRight as the Dragon arrives, you step forward and slice its stomach.\n\nBlue blood bursts out and splashes all over your body.\n\nThe Dragon hollers in pain and retreats, grasping its cut belly as organs spew out. It weakly flaps its wings and lets out a final gasp; anda flicker of blue flame spits from it's mouth. \n\nLife leaves the Dragon's wings, and its massive body plunges down the bottomless pit.\n\nYou examine the blood covering your body, twirl the rusty sword, and crack your neck. \n\nYou turn towards the red, silk robe flapping in the wind. You grab it and hold it against your face.\n\nA tear runs out of your eye and stains the silk. \n\nAfter collecting your thoughts, you go to the door and try to open it again, but it's no use. There's no keyhole other than a small cut-out in the shape of a ring. Like a ring for a finger.\n\nYou take off your wedding ring and insert it into the hole.\n\nNothing happens. \n\n[[Look Around|Bridge17]]\n[[Go Home|Nope1]]\n\n\n

A small object catches your eye amidst the puddle of blue blood.\n\nYou pick it up and wipe the blood away.\n\nIt's a small gold ring. You examine an engraving of a small rose on the gold band, then you check your wedding ring and find the same small rose engraving.\n\nYour eyes widen, and you gaze over the cliff's edge. The Dragon is gone. There's nothing but a bottomless pit.\n\nYou goggle at the dead Humans, Dwarves, and Elves pinned up all over the mountain side. You look for your wife's face. What does she look like? Do you remember?\n\nThere's too many of them... Is that her? No. No. Wait. Wait. What about her? No. No. Did the Dragon eat her? Is she dead?\n\nYour eyes dart from dead face to dead face, dead body to dead body.\n\nNo No No No No No No No\n\nYour mind thinks to the red robe and the red sash, then it shifts to the lie you told to her last night. Why did you lie? If you didn't lie, then she'd still be here. Does she know I lied?\n\nBut would she have stayed if I didn't lie? Would she have liked the truth? Would she still be with me? Why do I want her? Why do I need her? I don't love her. Why am I here?\n\nYou scream out, "WHY!?" and smash the ground with your fist over and over again until red blood leaks from your knuckles.\n\nYou rush to the edge of the cliff; you halt as you stare down into the bottomless pit.\n\nYou stare at the ring and lift one foot over the edge.\n\n[[Do it|Death19]]\n[[Don't do it|Bridge18]]

In the far off kingdom of Avairus, where Knights, Dwarves, Elves, and Dragons exist, a large house sits in the middle of a large hill. On top of this hill is a bright and gleaming Castle that looks over the entire kingdom, including a small prosperous Town at the bottom of the hill. \n\nThis story isn't about a King on a quest for a Golden Cup or a Knight rescuing a damsel in distress.\n\nThis story is your journey. \n\nHow desperate are you to find the truth?\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIt's late at night.\n\nYour wife, in a red, silk robe, lays next to you in bed. She wraps her arms around you and nuzzles her head against your chest. You grab her left hand and your wedding bands touch. \n\nYour eyes stare at amazing and abstract shadows being cast on the ceiling by moonlight through a large ornate window. Tree Limbs and leaves look like Demon arms with terrifying claws.\n\nBesides these demonic and hellish visions, you lay peacefully with your wife and a smile on your face.\n\nYour wife asks, \n\n"Do you love me?"\n\nYour smile disappears.\n\n[[Yes (Lie)|Yes]]\n[[No (Truth)|No]]\n \n

Fish jump around in ponds as bees and squirrels dance around bushes. A large oak tree spreads shredded shade over the entire garden, giving it a cool relaxing feeling that everyone enjoys. \n\nAs you sit on a stone bench, you examine your clothes and touch your stomach. \n\nNo blue blood. No red blood.\n\nOut of the corner of your eye, you notice... your wife. \n\nShe walks up to you, looking stunning in a long white dress and a rose in her hair. \n\nShe kisses your lips and stares into your eyes. \n\nShe asks, "Do you love me?"\n\n[[Yes (The Real Truth)|End]]

Several of the wooden slats look weak and unable to hold your weight.\n\n[[Climb Fast|Bridge9]]\n[[Climb Slow|Death14]]\n[[Let Go|Death12]]

The Dragon shoots blue fire and barely misses you.\n\nThe fire burns the middle of the bridge, making it snap in half.\n\nYou fall back and slide down the bridge towards the bottomless pit.\n\nThe Dragon circles above, shooting blue fireballs at you.\n\nYou scratch and claw to stop yourself, but nothing is working.\n\n[[Use Lovendale|Bridge6]]\n[[Do Nothing|Death11]]

The crack opens wider and wider as a Gigantic, Ugly, Monstrous Troll climbs out of the ground.\n\nYour eyes widen; the Troll towers above you.\n\nSaliva drips from its fanged mouth and plops at your feet.\n\nThe Troll laughs and raises its arms.\n\nYou spot something glimmering in the Trolls side.\n\nIt's a rusty sword.\n\n[[Go for Sword|Sword]]\n[[Fight with Your Fists|Death]]\n[[Run Home|Journey Ends]]

You climb the ladder as fast as you can.\n\nThe Dragon closes in and releases another loud roar.\n\nWooden slats break and snap away from your feet as you climb higher and higher.\n\nThe Dragon shoots a blue fireball, which hits the rock wall next to you.\n\nYou stagger, but then climb faster.\n\nThe Dragon closes in as you near the top.\n\n[[Climb Faster|Death15]]\n[[Jump|Bridge10]]\n[[Let Go|Death11]]

"Ah, so there it is. You love your wife. The Truth. The real truth, right? Yet, for some reason I don't believe you. Yes, you killed a Troll, but then you contemplated about going home. You conqured the dastardly canal, which in all honesty I could've done a better job on, but after that you contemplated about going home. You traveled through the cave, defeated my Dragon, then contemplated about killing yourself, but you didn't."\n\nDorngrish pushes you into the middle of the room. You crash onto your hands and knees as Dorngrish twirls Lovendale.\n\n"So why don't I believe you? Because every man panics under pressure. Panic causes most men to say and do things they don't mean. When your wife asked you if you loved her, you panicked. Not because of the question, but because of the choice you had to make. Choices define you; they make you human. Every human says the easiest thing and doesn't reveal the truth until they are backed into a corner with no other choice."\n\nDorngrish circles around you and drags Lovendale across the ground. \n\n"You aren't backed into a corner yet. You still have a choice."\n\nDorngrish drops Lovendale next to you. \n\n[[Grab it|Finale14]]

Dorngrish hits you with another bolt of lighting.\n\nYou collapse to the floor.\n\n"A good Husband?"\n\nDorgrish releases another laugh.\n\n"That's the most pitiful thing I've ever heard. Why did you choose to lie? Why not tell her the truth?" \n\nDorngrish steps towards you.\n\n"Why come all this way if you don't love her? Were you searching for something? The truth?

You rise up with Lovendale in your hand.\n\nDorngrish backs away and spreads his arms.\n\n"I am your final decision. You are a liar and have come this far for the truth, but how desperate are you to find the truth? How much do you deserve the truth?"\n\nDorngrish gets down on his knees.\n\n"There's a book on the pedestal over there. If you choose to open it, then everything will return to normal.

The Great White Mountains loom behind The Town. \n\nThe central street is chaotic as Humans, Dwarves, and Elves walk around the Town in harmony and camaraderie. Children play in the street, but they move out of the way when a caravan of knights, in shiny gold armor upon their mighty steeds, speed through The Town towards the Castle.\n\nYour eyes wander to a bar that is filled with drunks and licentious morales.\n\nThen towards a General Shop with animal skins and dreamcatchers hanging on display.\n\nThey finally wander down the central street towards the mountains. \n\n[[Go to Bar|Bar1]]\n[[Go to Shop|Shop3]]\n[[Go to Mountains|Mountains1]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

You step over to the red object and drag the sword behind you. \n\nYou crouch down and pick up a red, silk sash just like the one from your wife's robe. The one she was wearing last night. \n\nA female scream arises in the distance.\n\n[[Follow it|Test1]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

The shopkeep smiles as he reaches under a counter.\n\nHe pulls out a long, heavy object wrapped in leather.\n\nYou step forward; the shopkeeper unravels the leather, revealing Lovendale, a sword with a golden blade and ruby-studded hilt.\n\nYou gape at its beauty.\n\n[[Lovendale! It hasn't been seen in centuries! How do you have it?|q1]]\n

You step on the rickety, flimsy bridge.\n\nExcrutiating heat flows around you even though the mountains are covered with snow. \n\nYou wipe the sweat from your brow and continue forth, holding onto frazzled ropes that jerk with your every step.\n\nYou reach halfway, and the heat intensifies in waves, like something slowly fans you.\n\nA drop of heavy, congealed liquid drops in front of your feet and sizzles.\n\nYou look up.\n\nA Dragon with black scales and dark blue skin hovers above and glares at you, flapping it's wings and fanning you with hot air. \n\nThe Dragon winds up to breathe fire.\n\n[[Dive Forward|Bridge4]]\n[[Roll Forward|Bridge4]]\n[[Jump Forward|Bridge4]]

You sprint as hard as you can towards the sword.\n\nThe Troll's arms slam down and miss you. \n\nYou spot an opening in its chest where a blue heart ravenously pumps. \n\nYour attention returns to the sword. You jump and grab the hilt as the Troll rises up with you hanging onto the sword.\n\nThe Troll pulls you off, and the sword comes out of its ribs. The Troll throws you down to the ground. \n\nYou fly back and hit a rock wall; the sword clangs on the ground.\n\nYou gather your senses and pick up the sword. The Troll raises its arms.\n\n[[Stab the Heart|Heart1]]\n[[Cut it's Achilles|Achilles1]]\n[[Run Home|Journey Ends]]

You sprint towards the canal and launch yourself over the edge.\n\nYou glide through the air as water rages beneath you.\n\nYou land on the edge of the other bank, but the ground gives way under your feet.

The Dragon closes in and angles its body upwards, brandishing its claws.\n\nRight as the Dragon arrives, you step forward and slice its stomach.\n\nBlue blood bursts out and splashes all over your body. \n\nThe Dragon hollers in pain and retreats, grasping its cut belly as organs spew out. It weakly flaps its wings, lets out a final gasp; a flicker of blue flame spits from it's mouth. \n\nLife leaves the Dragon's wings, and its massive body plunges down the bottomless pit. \n\nYou examine the blood covering your body, sheath Lovendale, and crack your neck. \n\nYou turn towards the red, silk robe flapping in the wind. You grab it and hold it against your face.\n\nA tear runs out of your eye and stains the silk. \n\nAfter collecting your thoughts, you go to the door and try to open it again, but it's no use. There's no keyhole other than a small cut-out in the shape of a ring. Like a ring for a finger.\n\nYou take off your wedding ring and insert it into the hole.\n\nNothing happens. \n\n[[Look Around|Bridge16]]\n[[Go Home|Nope]]\n\n\n

Darkness surrounds you as you walk through the cave with the rusty sword and your free arm out to the sides. The blade and your hand slide along the moisted cave walls.\n\nA heavy rumble arises and vibrates up your feet.\n\nYou back away, anticipating another troll, but the rumble subsides.\n\nYou continue through the cave until your face smashes into a wall.\n\nYou feel the wall and realize you're at a fork in the tunnel.\n\nYou wave your hand towards the tunnel on the left.

You sprint towards the light with Lovendale in your hand.\n\nThe light gets too bright for your eyes, so you shut them and sprint with faith as you exit the cave.\n\nYou open your eyes, halt your feet, and skid close to the edge of a cliff. A cliff at the top of the Great White Mountains.\n\nYou use Lovendale to catch your balance and step back from the edge.\n\nA long, flimsy, wooden bridge spreads across a bottomless pit that you cannot jump across.\n\nOn the far side, two torches burn on the sides of a door surrounded by pikes, swords, shields, skulls, and bones. \n\nDead Humans, Dwarves, and Elves hang on the mountain side around the door. Hundreds, maybe thousands are pinned up like posters on a wall. Blood stains evertyhing.\n\nYour eye catches something flowing from one of the pikes.\n\nIt's a red, silk robe.\n\nYour eyes widen and search the thousands of bodies for your wife, but they are too far away to see.\n\nYou step towards the bridge, but Lovendale vibrates; you halt. Your soul feels something. Something that says there will be no return if you step on that bridge.\n\n[[Cross the Bridge|Bridge2]]\n[[Go Home|Journey Ends]]

Through the door, a light blue aura casts over everything.\n\nYou loom around and notice you're at the very top of the Great White Mountains. You can see for miles in every direction.\n\nYour eyes gaze up a high cobblestone tower, where the bricks glow with blue veins. \n\nThe strong, deep laugh bellows from the tower. \n\nWith the rusty sword in hand, you sprint up the cobblestone stairs leading to the tower. \n\n[[Continue|Finale3]]

You reach the top of the stairs and ram your shoulder into a heavy wooden door. \n\nIt splinters open, and you crash into a circular room.\n\nTorches, lit with blue fire, sprinkle the walls.\n\nLovendale vibrates at your hip, unseathes itself, and flies towards a bronze throne. \n\nA dark, creaturish hand grasps Lovendale out of the air.\n\nThe torches brighten, revealing more of the room and a large orc-like creature in thick, black armor. It sits on a bronze throne surrounded by bones and skulls.\n\nYour eyes widen.\n\n[[Who are you?|Finale4]]

The orc says, "Dorngrish."\n\nDorngrish smiles and rises from the throne. He stares at the rusty sword.\n\n"Fought off a Troll and a Dragon with a rusty sword. Kind of ridiculous, huh?"\n\nDorngrish raises his hand. The rusty sword disintegrates. You goggle at dark powder running through your fingers. \n\nDorngrish laughs a maniacally deep laugh.\n\n[[You wanted me to use it.|Finale7]]

"Well yes, yes, I couldn't expect you to get up here all by yourself. That shopkeeper proved useful after all."\n\nDorngrish aims Lovendale at you.
