,As you are driving down the roads after a long day of class you spot a deer amoung the trees and bushes of the campus. However this (text-color: blue)[deer] is unlike any other, it is emmiting a light blue glow as if it were a florecent bulb. Its antlers are also lit up, resembling beautiful constellations. As your car sputters closer to the deer, it slowly starts to wander down another road.
[[Follow the deer]]
[[Continue to your dorm]]You follow the deer down a lonely road. As it begins to speed up you do as well. A blur of the brown and green trees flies by as the creature breaks into a full sprint. Suddenly the deer halts at a dead end. As you slow down, you don't recongnize this area. The deer is now staring at you intently, beckoning you to get out of the car. However, not knowing exactly what is going on, you could turn back and head home.
[[Get out of the car]]
[[Turn back]]As you open the door of your car you notice something strange. The view from the opened door is much diffrent from the view from your windshield. In place of the dark night of the campus is what seems to be a serene opening in the middle of a forest. Your curiosity has been completly piqued. In front of you is a gentle waterfall slowly flowing down a boulder. To your left and right are paths that seem to lead somewhere. The deer has seemingly disappered, leaving you to explore this strange area to yourself. You could also try to call for help.
[[Go left ->Left]]
[[Go right ->Right]]
[[Explore the waterfall ->Waterfall]]
[[Call for help ->Call]] You put the car into reverse and spin the car around ignoring the glowing blue creature. After what seems like half an hour of driving down the same path of trees and plants, you magically arrive back at your dorm. Exhausted from this short journey you quickly finish you work and sleep.
[[Go to bed ->Sleep]] Exhausted and bewildered by the sighting of a weird deer, you head back to your dormatory. //flick// Your headlights turn on and pierce the enveloping darkness of the vegetation around you. However, you realize that you don't reconginze this path. Suddenly, the blue deer peers out from behind a tree and starts to continue down the path you are on. Shocked your gut feeling tells you to turn back but the curious side of you wants to follow it.
[[Turn back]]
[[Follow the deer]]The next morning at class, you tell your roomates about your discovery from yesterday. Some are genuinely intrested while others scoff and laugh at you. Regardless, the experience was at least mystical if nothing else. You continue your day without second thought.
(text-color: green)[The End]The trickling waterfall flows quietly into a small stream below it. So you decide to look for things in the stream. You put your hand in the stream. (click: "hand in the stream")[The cold flowing water runs on your hand.]
[[Look at the stream ->Stream]]To the left of you is path that resembles a hiking trail. The area is shaded by tree and copious amounts of other vegetation. You shine your flashlight in the direction of the path, but you are unable to see down it too far.
[[Take the path]]
[[Look around the trees]]
[[Go back to the clearing ->Clearing]] To the right side is a gravel path seemingly made by other people.
[[Continue]]
[[Go back ->Clearing]] As you walk down the dirt path, the trees darkness starts to surround you. You pull out your phone to use as a flashlight. After walking for quite a while, you hit a dead end with a few bushes blocking your way. You could try going through or you could walk back.
[[Go through]]
[[Walk back]]You carfully step into the shurbs all around you and look around. Although this place is completly diffrent from your home, the starry night sky is the same. The night's serenity calms you, but you need to move on.
(link:"Go back")[(goto: (history: )'s last)]You look down and try to call.(click: "call") [ The call fails.] You still have plenty of charge but you dont have service. You look back up at the paths around you again.
[[Head to the left ->Left]]
[[Head to the right ->Right]]
[[Head toward the waterfall ->Waterfall]] (if: (either: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ) is 1) [As you head back to the clearing a monster suddenly pops out of from behind a tree growls at you. The monster is quite large and has huge claws you could try and fight it, run or hide in the car.
[[Fight ->Fight it]]
[[Run ->Run away]]
[[Hide in the car ->Car]] ] (else:)[You are back at the clearing with your car and the path leading left on a dirt path, right on a gravel path and to the waterfall with various rocks and objects.
[[Go left->Left]]
[[Go right->Right]]
[[Explore the waterfall ->Waterfall]] ]You turn around defeated and walk the same trail you did to come here. However when you turn around you can't see the trail you came back on as the vegetation has covered everything around you. Still thinking about the deer, you wonder if now would be a good time to look for it.
[[Look for the deer]]
[[Try and find your way back to the clearing]]You continue walking down the gravel path until you find a split in the road. In the center is a worn-down sign with illegible letter pointing to either side. On the left is the same gravel path. On the right there is a narrower, dirt path.
[[Gravel path ->Left road]]
[[Narrow path ->Right road]] You squat down and look at the stream. Not much is there other than shiny rocks and minerals. Objects may have washed down here once but you are not sure. You could continue searching down the stream or go back.
[[Continue searching]]
(link:"Go back")[(goto: (history: )'s last)](if: $visit is "1")[This key could probably be used to unlock the chest in the cottage.
[[Head to the cottage ->Inside]]](else:)[After looking down stream for a while, you spot a shiny object. It's a (text-color: yellow)[key] that's for something, but you're not sure what its for. It may be someone else's. Do you keep it or leave it.
[[Keep it ->Keep]]
[[Leave it]]]You pocket the key. You are curious to see if there is more stuff just laying around. Do you continue seaching or head back to the clearing.
[[Continue seaching -> Continue searching for stuff]]
[[Head back to the clearing ->Clearing]]
(set: $key to "1")You drop the key right next to the stream bank. Somewhere where it won't flow off.
You head back to the [[Clearing]].You spend around 30 more minutes searching for other object. You only end up finding rocks and minerals so you decide to head back to the clearing.
[[Head back to the clearing ->Clearing]]After a bit of walking you once again reach a clearing in the forest, this time there is a tiny cottage. You approach the house and knock on the door. No one answers. You twist the doorknob to find it unlocked so you go inside.
[[Go inside ->Inside]] As you walk dwon the right road, it becomes narrower and narrower. You hear creatures rustle in the bushes around you. You become unsure whether or not you should continue or turn back.
[[Continue ->Keep going]]
[[Turn back ->Split in the road]].After a bit more wandering you reach a dead end. As you are about to turn around to head back, a silhouette of a 4 legged animal pounces out from behind a tree and stands in front of you. You start to back away unsure whether to fight or run.
[[Fight! ->Fight]]
[[Run! ->Run]] Once again you return to the split in the road with the signs pointing left and right.
[[Gravel path (left) ->Left road]]
[[Narrow path (right) ->Right road]]You quickly grab a stick from the ground to defend yourself. the creature pounces you and takes you to the ground with you. As you wrestle you try to beat the creatrue with the stick but to no avail. Finally the monster pins you to the ground and as you hold its fangs back with the stick you start to lose hope. Suddenly a blue bolt flies out of nowhere and knocks the creature aside. Its the [blue deer!]<deer|
(click-replace: ?deer) [blue deer! The glowing animal stands before you and beckons you to [[Follow it]].] You turn around and sprint off. The monster charges after you and jumps to tackle you. As you fall to the ground you cry for help. You struggle but you are unbale to fight the creature. You continue to struggle and yell but to no avail. After fighting fro a while, you give in as the creature sinks its fangs in for the kill. As blood leaves your body you start to lose consciousness and you finally die.
(text-color: red)[The End]You check the bed. On top is a red and black plaid blanket and a plain white pillow. The bed has been made and seemingly recent to as the sheets don't have dust.
(link:"Go back")[(goto: (history: )'s last)]Inside the kitchen is a gas stove. When you try turning it on nothing happens. You look around the pots and pans. There is nothing of intrest here.
(link:"Go back")[(goto: (history: )'s last)]You examine the chest, it is large enough to fit a person inside. It has a lock on if you had a key you could unlock it.
[[Try to unlock it ->Unlock it]]
[[Go back ->Inside]] Inside the cottage is a bed, a kitchen and a large chest. You could take the liberty to look around or head back or all the way back to your car in the clearing.
[[Check out the bed ->Bed]]
[[Explore the kitchen ->Kitchen]]
[[Look at the chest ->Large chest]]
[[Head all the way back to the clearing ->Clearing]]
(set: $visit to "1")(if: $key is "1")[You unlock the chest. Inside there is a staircase leading to a basement. You head downstairs.
[[Head downstairs]]](else:)[You need a key to unlock the chest. Something like a key could be found washed down a stream...
[[Go back ->Inside]] ]Downstairs is a mysterious source of light. As you head down, you see a glowing green portal. Around it is a natrual formation of the underground earth. Rocks and dirt are scattered around the room. It almost appears as if the portal is taking over the basement. You are tempted to go through the portal but you could also head back up.
[[Go through the portal]]
[[Head back up ->Inside]]You enter through the portal head first. You suddenly sit up. You are in your own bed. The sun is shining thorugh the window and the birds and bugs of the world are awake as well. You check your phone. It says that today is a 9 AM on a Saturday. Although everything was a dream it seemed so real. For the rest of the day you hike around outside looking for that blue deer again. You never do find the deer again, but you wont forget this dream for the rest of your life.
(text-color: green)[The End]The deer struts off into the trees and you follow. Soon you arrive at another clearing in the forest with a cottage in the center. The blue deer nods towards the cottage and starts to walk off. You wave and face the door of the cottage. You knock but no one answers. You then turn the handle to find it unlocked and head inside.
[[Go inside ->Inside]] You clear the bushes in front of you by using your hands and discover that you are on the edge of a cliff.
[[Explore the cliff]] You quickly grab a stick to defend yourself as the monster pounces at you. You quickly dodge to the side and hit the creature as hard you can with the stick. *Snap*. The stick instantly breaks and the monster turns and looks at you with even more hatred in its eyes. It attacks and slashes with its huge claws. You try your best to dodge but it manages to catch your arm. You scream out in pain as your arm is left with 3 huge cuts.
[[Try to keep fighting]]
[[Run away]]You sprint down the left path. The monster chases after you. You try to throw things at it to slow it down but nothing works. Suddenly a blue blur jumps out of nowhere and kicks the creature to the ground. It's the blue deer! The creature gets back up and start to fight the deer so you continue to run. You suddenly hit a dead end with a few bushes so you try going through and burst out onto a cliff side.
[[Explore the cliff]]You sprint into the car and slam the door. The monster pounces on to the car hood and starts to bash the windshield. As the glass begins to crack you quickly open the glove compartment to find something to defend yourself with. Inside the glove compartment is a window breaker and a pocket knife.
[[Grab the window breaker]]
[[Grab the pocket knife]]You grab the window breaker just as the glass shatters all over your face. You brace yourself and start to whack at the monster as viciously as you can. However, the monster is much stronger than you and overpowers you. As you continue to struggle the monster slashes at you with its huge claw and three gashes appear on your chest.
[[Continue ->Death]]You grab the pocket knife just as the glass shatters all over your face. You brace yourself and start to stab at the monster as viciously as you can. However, the monster is much stronger than you and overpowers you. As you continue to struggle the monster slashes at you with its huge claw and three gashes appear on your chest.
[[Continue ->Death]]As you continue to struggle you continue to lose blood and weakness begins to fill your body. As the beast sinks its teeth into your leg you yell out in agony and begin to lose consciousness from the pain. You attempt to strike the monster once more, but your hand drops as you pass away.
(text-color: red)[The End]You find another stick and try to hit the monster again. However this time you miss and fall over. Instantly, the monster is on top of you pinning you to the ground. You begin to cry as you realize it's all over. The creature then sinks its teeth into your neck and you pass away.
(text-color: red)[The End]Walking along the cliff edge you find an opening with a purple glow coming from inside. Curious about what be inside you head towards it but are hesitant becasue it could be dangerous.
[[Go inside]]
[[Continue looking around]]As you look around for the deer other animals around you start to rustle the vegetation. Suddenly a cougar jumps out and pins you to the ground. You struggle, but to no avail. As it sinks its teeth into your neck you pass out and pass away.
(text-color: red)[The End]As you look around for the deer a blue light catches your attention, you sprint over to the light and spot the deer! As you stand there and admire the beauty of it, growls begin to surrond you. The next thing you know a pack of wolves is around you getting ready to kill you.
[[Fight!]]
[[Run!]]Inside the cave is a purple portal. You chuckle to yourself as it reminds you of the nether portal in *Minecraft*. Although that portal takes you to what is essentially hell in *Minecraft* you let your curiousty get the better of you and go thorugh.
[[Go through the portal ->purple portal]]As you continue walking along the edge of the cliff it begins to get more and more narrow.
[[Go back to the cave ->Explore the cliff]]
[[Continue ->Walking]]You continue to step carefully along the edge of the cliff. Suddenly the rock below you slips and crumbles. You begin to free fall into the tree below you. You hit the ground, hard and lose consciousness.
(text-color: red)[The End]You suddenly sit up in class. You look around and see the teacher and your classmates around you. You check your phone, it's 10am on a Tuesday. You must be sitting in your Biology class. Although everything was a dream it seemed so real. However, it didn't feel like a dream, you vividly rememeber driving home yesterday so you are confused. You decide to just move on and focus on class, but you will never forget this dream.
(text-color: green)[The End]You grab a stone from the large stone from the ground and start hitting the attacking wolves, the deer, by your side helps by kicking the wolves away. Unfortunatley the wolf horde is just to much and you and the deer start to become overwhelmed by the numbers. As you get wounded, you bleed out of your wounds and lose consciousness.
(text-color: red)[The End]The deer lowers its head so you quickly mount it and ride off. As it bounces up and down you turn around to finds the wolves getting farther and farther from you. Eventually the deer stops and drops you off at the edge of a cliff. And nods toward an opening in the side of the cliff.
