<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/field.jpg" width="800"> You are in a field looking up at the sky. You can remain here, but there is a village nearby. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[cloud gaze]] [[go to the village]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Camp.jpg" width="800"> You've set up camp near a river bank on the edge of an enchanted forest. The night is young and you feel restless. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[go to the forest]] [[go to the river]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Sleep.jpg" width="800"> You toss and turn in your bed, unable to get comfortable. Sleep is not an option. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#a5d8ff)[ <pre> [[get up]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Bunny.jpg" width="800"> You try to make out fuzzy shapes in the clouds. This one reminds you of something, but you can't place what. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[look longer]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/village.jpg" width="800"> The village. It looks the same as when you were last here all those years ago. To the left of you is the town square, to the right is a dark alleyway that leads to your old street. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[go to the square]] [[go to the alley]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/light.jpg" width="800"> The sky suddenly is engulfed in a warm glow, similar to a burst of sunlight. You shield your eyes, waiting until the light dims. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[take a look]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Phaedra.jpg" width="800"> Before you is Phaedra, goddess of the sun. You've been devoted to her all your life. She seems expectant. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [["Phaedra, why have you appeared to me?"]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/fail.jpg" width="800"> "Then it really is no use. Continue on your troubled path, Mariana, and know that I am no longer with you." (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[You must carry on]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/broken.jpg" width="800"> You end your devotion to Phaedra because of it. If the goddess desires it, it shall be done. You lose your sense of purpose with nowhere left to go. You feel hopeless. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[try to find your way]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Fire.jpg" width="800"> You decide to follow through with your plan in Phaedra's name, even if she is no longer at your side. You take a torch to the village you once called home, burning the homes of guilty and innocent alike. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[...]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Inferno.jpg" width="800"> You spare no one. Being forsaken by your beloved goddess leaves a hollowness in your chest, but seeing the village burn is a sight worth seeing. With sparks in the air and blood on your sword, you feel happy about the choices you have made. Although you may have displeased Phaedra, you have carried out your vengeance in her name.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Sad.jpg" width="800"> Nothing helps. You are a husk of your former self. Vengeance still burns in your heart. But if seeking justice goes against Phaedra's wishes, it must burn on alone. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[pick up your sword]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/sword.jpg" width="800"> You take a deep breath as you look down at your sword. The cool metal shows no remnants of the blood that has stained it over the years. Maybe it can still shimmer with blood once again. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[do it]] [[do it]] [[do it]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/square.jpg" width="800"> You go to the main square. It is full of life. It makes you sick. Within the crowd you think you notice someone familiar. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[take a closer look]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/thug.jpg" width="800"> In the alley, you see a man who looks suspicious. He has a knife in his hand. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[attack him]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Preacher.jpg" width="800"> It's the preacher! The very man you're here to see. He is vulnerable. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[follow the preacher]] [[attack the preacher]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Church.jpg" width="800"> You decide to follow the preacher. After his time in the square, he makes his way back to the church. The church that now worships the moon goddess Efthalia. Anger flares in your gut. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[go inside]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Attack.jpg" width="800"> You attack the preacher in the square, successfully slashing him with your sword. The crowd screams and royal guards rush to the scene. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[keep attacking]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Inside.jpg" width="800"> Inside the church, you find the preacher alone. Members of the clergy are nowhere to be seen. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[sneak up on the preacher]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Stab.jpg" width="800"> You sneak up on the preacher, your weapon in hand. Once you get close enough, you stab your sword through his back, clear out to the other side. He lets out a pathetic sound. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[release him]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Ded.jpg" width="800"> You let the preacher fall to the ground, a pool of crimson gathering around him. He meets your eye and you know he recognizes you. After everything he did, there's no way he doesn't. You watch him as he becomes weaker, choking on his own blood, until he goes limp on the cathedral floor. Your mission is complete. Phaedra be praised.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Guards.jpg" width="800"> The guards restrain you and take your sword. They take you away. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[go to jail]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Jail.jpg" width="800"> You sit in the jail knowing you did well. Your actions were all in the name of Phaedra. You smile knowing the goddess is looking down at you fondly, proud of what you have accomplished.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/blood.jpg" width="800"> You attack the man with your sword. His knife is no use against your superior weapon. You end up slashing and stabbing him countless times and he falls to the ground. There is fear in his eyes. You enjoy it. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[leave him there]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Caught.jpg" width="800"> He calls out for guards and two of them come rushing into the alley. You can try to fight them off, but they may overpower you. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[run]] [[defend yourself]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Church.jpg" width="800"> You run down a few side streets and eventually escape the guards. When you look up, you find yourself outside a church dedicated to goddess Phaedra. A sense of joy fills your chest. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[go inside the church]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Defend.jpg" width="800"> Unfortunately you are no match for the guards. They arrest you. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#ffc078)[ <pre> [[go to jail]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Pray.jpg" width="800"> The church is bathed in golden sunlight filtering through a stained glass panel above the pulpit. You kneel before this image of Phaedra, directly in her light, and pray.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Path.jpg" width="800"> You walk into the woods. To the right is a clearing and to the left is what seems to be light. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[go to the left]] [[go to the right]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/River.jpg" width="800"> You see a fish sparkling in the water. It seems to glow with an ethereal light. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[catch it]] [[admire it]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Woah.jpg" width="800"> As you approach the light, you come into a clearing. You see a beautiful tree with azure leaves. A woman stands before this tree, casting a warm glow on her surroundings. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [["Hello?"]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Deer.jpg" width="800"> You enter the clearing and see a lone deer that meets your gaze. It does not seem frightened. Suddenly, there is a noise in the bush and the deer runs off. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[stay there]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Hello.jpg" width="800"> (align:"=><=")["Oh, it is only you, Bellamy."] (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [["How do you know my name?"]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Tree.jpg" width="800"> "I am Ourania, goddess of the stars. We have not met, but I watch over you with great admiration. I have a particular fondness for your music. Do you wish to play together?" (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[play music with her]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Music.jpg" width="800"> You pull out your lute and begin to play. The goddess joins you in song, knowing all of your lyrics. She really must be an admirer. You play music into the wee hours of the night, but find yourself rejuvenated.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Approaching.jpg" width="800"> Three wolves rush out from the bushes. They spot you and start approaching you, their eyes glowing red. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[grab your lute]] [[grab a stick]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Pounce.jpg" width="800"> You grab a stick as the wolves surround you. They seem ready to attack. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[cry for help]] [[fight back]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Wolfsong.jpg" width="800"> Despite the apparent danger, you grab your lute and start to play. The dangerous glow in the wolves' eyes fades and they appear enchanted. They gather around you and peacefully listen along, seeming pleased.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/bleeding.jpg" width="800"> Suddenly a bright light fills the air before you. Though the wolves manage to leave a few bites and scratches, they whimper and run off at this burst of light. You look on in confusion. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [["What's going on?"]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/flesh.jpg" width="800"> You fight back. The wolves overpower you and kill you. They feast on your flesh.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Ouraniawolf.jpg" width="800"> The light dims, revealing a woman with a glowing aura. She looks down at you curiously. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [["Who are you?"]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Catch.jpg" width="800"> You catch the fish with a spear. Once impaled, it wriggles in an attempt to escape. You feel awful. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[end its misery]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Fish.jpg" width="800"> You admire the fish's beauty for a few moments. You feel peaceful just watching it swim. It eventually moves to another part of the river and disappears.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Food.jpg" width="800"> You kill the fish quickly, your stomach churning. At least you should make the most of this. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#d0bfff)[ <pre> [[cook the fish]] ]

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Cook.jpg" width="800"> You cook the fish, feeling conflicted about what you've done. At least you aren't wasting its flesh, but you still feel remorse for taking its life.

<img src = "https://mmerriman718.github.io/final/Getup.jpg" width="800"> You get up, your head aching. Behind you are doors to your balcony. Before you are doors to the rest of the castle. (align:"=><=")+(text-colour:#a5d8ff)[ <pre> [[go to the balcony]] [[go out to the castle]] ]
