THE BEGINNING....?

You awaken from your slumber. What happened? You remember...nothing. Who are you? What is this place? What happened? Darkness shrouds your vision. A white glow emanates from somewhere below you. Something glows in the distance. Maybe it will help? <pre>[[Go towards the glow]] [[Explore]]</pre>

Darkness fills the surrounding area. You cannot see. <pre>[[Go towards the glow]] </pre>

A white shard lies in the dust. You pick it up. The room brightens a little. A white path leads to a portal in front of you, glowing dimly. <pre>[[Go through the portal]] [[Explore the newly lit area]]</pre>

The portal shimmers mesmerizingly as you go through. As your vision clears, a large area opens up, seemingly building itself in front of you. Dust covers the space; looks like no one has been here for a long time. There are multiple paths to take. <pre>[[Go forward]] [[Go right]] [[Explore the main room ]]</pre>

Back where you were standing lies a rune. It glows faintly. Something doesn't seem right. That is all you can see for now. <pre>[[Go through the portal]] </pre>

You enter a dark, enclosed room; simutanously, stars fill the sky. How can something like this be possible? Seven pillars lie in the middle of the space, each with little divets in the middle of them; six in a circular formation, one in the middle. Maybe something goes on them? Nothing else seems to be done here for now. <pre>[[Go back ->Go through the portal]] </pre>

This room is dust scattered everywhere. Another white shard lies on the ground. Perhaps it is connected with the other white shard obtained earlier. You pick it up. You look around the room. More portals. Three to be exact. <pre>[[Go through the red portal]] [[Go through the green portal]] [[Go through the blue portal]] [[Go back ->Main Room]] </pre>

The room held a lot of dust, that was for certain. The place has been so dirty that the tiles were worn out. Vines dangle from whatever ceiling there was. Is that a ceiling? You aren't certain. In the corners and the walls, there were little runes, similar to the one you woke up on. But these had colors. And they were darken. You touch them. Nothing happens. It seems as though they are inactive. Maybe something can activate them. A pattern on the ground eerily looks like an eye. No matter where you wander, it...follows your every movement. You half expect it to summon a creature to torment you for the rest of eternity. Scratches and cracks fill the place. Scorch marks litter the tiles. Parts of the ground was eroded. Was this a battlefield of some sort? Somewhere there was dripping. Water? Maybe. On the left, there seems to be something out of the ordinary. Not that this whole place is ordinary. But something seems odd about that wall. You can't put your mind to it. You'll figure that out eventually. That is all in this room that you can see so far. <pre>[[Go forward]] [[Go right]] </pre>

A tower stands before you. Cracks fill the crimson walls. Something major must have happened before you arrived; the whole place is in ruins. Still, various red floating and moving platforms, amde of some kind of stone, remain, almost begging you to climb up. <pre>[[Climb up the tower]] [[Go back|Primary Intersection]] </pre>

You stumble into a forest, its vibrant, magenta leaves flowing softly in the winds. The green trees tower above you. Ahead, there seems to be a path. However, look closer and you can see there seems to be..nothing below. Just a void of emptiness. Various islands of land float about, but seem out of reach. At the end of your platform, there seems to be a rune, similar to the one from the limbo you woke up in. Perhaps you should touch the rune. <pre>[[Go across the grove]] [[Go back|Primary Intersection]]</pre>

Water is all you see. Your island is the only standable location. What can be found here? That's when you see it. A small glimmer under the blue liquid. It's far, deep below the oceanic terrain, like it was at the bottom of a deep cliff. Waves crash all around you. Perhaps you will go down and retrieve the item? <pre>[[Sink to the bottom]] [[Go back|Primary Intersection]] </pre>

The climb is dangerous. Cyan flames lick the building and threaten to engulf you. Yet, you begin your trek upwards, jumping from one platform to the other. As you reach the top, the sky is much clearer now. A small glowing object floats on a pedestal. It gives off a red tint as you inch closer. As you grab the artifact, the building starts to crumble. Something...no..somethings float towards you. What are they? They skitter around harmlessly. Until..a loud screech emits from the creatures and they all dive towards you. Why are they attacking you? You ponder the question as you make a mad dash back to the bottom, the portal back within your reach. But the entities are quick. Realizing the impending doom, you try to escape, to do something to protect yourself. And you do. A projectile shoots from...you? Or rather the red object you grabbed. One. Two. Three. The creatures explode into thousands of light particles when they come into contact with your new weapon. And did you just...jump higher than before? No matter. The path to the portal is clear. <pre>[[Enter the portal|Primary Intersection]]</pre>

You return from your journey through one of the portals. Nothing in this room has changed. <pre>[[Go through the red portal]] [[Go through the green portal]] [[Go through the blue portal]] [[Go back ->Main Room]] </pre>

The portal shimmers mesmerizing as you go through. As your vision clears, a large area opens up, seemingly building itself in front of you. Dust covers the space; looks like no one has been here for a long time. There are multiple paths to take. <pre>[[Go forward|Monument]] [[Go right|Primary Intersection]] [[Explore the main room]] [[Go back through the white portal|Limbo]] </pre>

You enter a dark, enclosed room; simutanously, stars fill the sky. How can something like this be possible? Seven pillars lie in the middle of the space, each with little divets in the middle of them; six in a circular formation, one in the middle. Maybe something goes on them? You realize these pillars look a lot like the pedestals found in the red, green, and blue portals. Maybe... Do you have three artifacts? <pre>[[Place the artifacts]] [[Go back ->Main Room]] </pre>

You submerge yourself under the water. As you make your way down, your vision clears up, acclimating to the water. A large...thing...flies past you. You were lucky to have not hit it. It doesn't seem like it would have ended well. More and more of these things are in your way. You move to the best of your ability around them. You can't exactly make out what they are. As you plummet further and further, less light breaks the water's surface. The only thing you can see now is the glow. On the sea floor, you move to grab the artifact off its pedestal. Bubbles rise violently from the ocean floor and everything shakes. Suddenly, you can see. Do these crystals give you powers? Somewhere in the distance, ruined structures and skeletal remains rest. You feel as though you are one step closer to solving the world that you stumbled into. The things that you sank past earlier? Big beady eyes stare at you, blinking softly. Spines surround their golden shells. It was unnerving to say the least. That's when they came. What are those? Entities float on towards you, shrieking loudly like an alarm. Were they guarding the artifact? Whatever it it, you need to get out. Now. With your better vision, a clear path back up to the surface arises. Quite literally. Underwater islands, filled with amber flora bob up and down. You can easily make your way up now. Dodging and weaving between everything that came to stop you, you ascended back to the island above. The portal sits there, waiting. You take one last glance at the water. Your reflection stares back. You look...bluer. <pre>[[Enter the portal|Primary Intersection]]</pre>

You head to the rune. As soon as you get close, it lights up, then flickers away. Suddenly, patches of land levitates up. A staircase. You jump from island to island. Something urges you to hurry. As you make contact with the last bit of field, everything behind you falls. You made it. But then, you're stuck on a lone island. Again. Another rune. Again and again, you continue. Landing onto islands, watching them disappear behind you, touching another rune, watching the islands appear before you. At the end, crammed into the roots of a large, ancient tree sits a pedestal. A green artifact, intertwined with the branches, hovers. Vines seem to wrap around it. You move to grab the artifact, carefully removing the branches and vines from it. It glows brighter from your touch. From the shadows of the great tree, something emerges. It hurls at you with a deafening blare ringing from it. With no where to run, you hold the artifact in an attempt to block the entity's attack. It did exactly that. A light beam shoots from the crystal hits the creature directly, stunning it. It stops momentarily before regaining its balance in the air and swoops again. Another beam. The entity bursts into light. You should get out before more of these creatures notice the disturbance, if there are more. You take a glance around. A little rune is tucked away in the shadows. You near it and the passage back to the portal opens up. You climb up the tree and take a leap of faith from its top branches. Safely landing on a higher up island, you see another path that you didn't notice before. Way above the trail you took earlier were branches hanging from the trees to parkour across. You should go. You notice that traveling now felt..easier. Faster. It was like the winds were in your favor. Balancing yourself and making your way on the branches and vines of the evergreen, the portal was within sight. Just one rune stands in your way. Or rather, a rune and another entity. It guards the rune and your exit. Using the artifact again, you blast the enemy out of your way before landing in front of the portal with a thud. The portal glimmers, as it sensing your presence and encouraging you to go through. <pre>[[Enter the portal|Primary Intersection]]</pre>

You take the artifacts out and look at the pillars. With a swift motion, you place the crystals on three pillars. Once on the pillars, the crystals shake violently, then rose out of sight. The two shards you obtained earlier vibrates as well, following the other three artifacts into the night sky. A large shadow looms above. A large eye opens and casts its sight on you..and then. Black. <pre> [[.........Continue?|Begin]]</pre>

You are back where you started. The room is now brighter than before. Perhaps it's the work of the crystals. You now notice the lack of sound in this room. It is entirely empty. In the middle, the white rune is lit up more than before. Surrounding it are more runes. Are they the same color as the artifacts you collected? No matter. You take a mental note of the pattern on the ground and look around more. Markings fill the wall. Clues on how to get out? Maybe. Other than that, there is nothing. Just emptiness. A void. You feel a sense of loniless. You are alone. <pre>[[Go back|Main Room]] </pre>
