you reach out and grab the book it is purple and silver [[read it]] [[put it back (its not yours)|putback]]

as your making your brakefast, you here a [[noise|turn around]]

A sharp *clunk* echoes from the front door — the sound of something metallic falling through the mail slot. Curious, you walk over and find a single envelope on the floor. It's made of thick black paper, sealed with deep (text-colour:red)[[red wax.|red]] there is no name or signitur [[Open it|read letter]]

You open the door and step into the morning light. The sky is a pale, unnatural hue — not quite blue, not quite... anything. The street is quiet. Too quiet. The usual hum of the town feels… muffled, like the world is holding its breath. In the distance, far beyond the rooftops and trees, a dark spire rises like a needle against the sky. The tower. Your pulse quickens. Whatever’s happening, it’s already begun. You step back inside, sling your bag over your shoulder, and glance around your room one last time. Time to go. [[Head toward the tower|tower path]]

You step into the woods. The canopy swallows the light almost instantly. Strange birdsong echoes in reverse. Vines pulse with a faint glow beneath your boots. Ahead, the path splits around a hollow tree. [[Circle the tree|forest path 2a]] [[Crawl through the hollow trunk|forest path 2b]]

You follow the broken asphalt, past rusted signs and flickering streetlights. A carriage sits frozen in the middle of the road, doors open. Inside: empty seats... and a single pair of boots standing on the floor, with no legs above them. [[Get in the carriage|road path 2a]] [[Walk past it quickly|road path 2b]]

You slip down into the old riverbed — dry for years now, but still etched deep into the earth like a scar. Cracked stones crunch underfoot. The air here smells of dust and something older — something buried. Ahead, the path splits at a fallen bridge. [[look around|river path 2a]] [[Crawl under the collapsed roots|river path 2b]]

You move slowly, keeping the tree on your left. A figure flickers between the trees, always a few steps ahead — too quick to catch, too clear to ignore. Eventually, the forest thins. You see the tower far off through the branches. [[Keep walking toward the tower|forest path 3]]

The inside of the trunk is cool, damp... and //hairy//...it a...''giantspider'' [[run out screaming|forest path 3]]

You follow the trail, now marked with fresh footprints — your own. The forest falls silent. A low hum fills the air, vibrating in your bones. The trees open into a wide clearing. The tower rises before you. [[Step into the clearing|tower arrival]]

You walk toward the tower it has a large oak door [[open the door|chapther two]]

You step into the cab and take a seat The carriage begins to move, though no one is driving. It rolls forward slowly, then faster — too fast — and you leap out just in time. You're further down the road now. Closer. [[Catch your breath and walk on|road path 3]]

You pass the bus without looking back. But for a moment, your reflection in the windows moves differently. It smiles. You don’t. [[Keep going|road path 3]]

Shadows lengthen behind you, though the sun hasn’t moved. You round the last bend. There it is — the tower, rising from the bones of old buildings. [[walk toward the tower|tower arrival]]

You slip under the roots and crawl through a tangle of branches. The air tightens around you — like the earth is holding its breath. For a moment, you hear whispering, like voices underwater. Then it’s gone. You emerge scratched and breathless, but further along. [[Find the river trail again|river path 3]]

The old riverbed narrows as you approach the edge of town. The ground vibrates faintly underfoot — not with machines, but with something older. Pulsing. Alive. You crest the final rise. There it is: the tower, black and still against the sky. [[Climb out of the riverbed|tower arrival]]

there is a crest that resembles a scroll and quill [[Open it|read letter]]

You break the seal and unfold the letter. The handwriting is elegant, but it shimmers and shifts oddly as if it’s resisting being read. Eventually, the words settle. “The warp has touched you and time is no longer your ally. Come to the tower before the violet fades.” There’s no signature, but you recognise the crest on the now broken seal, the mark of the red wizard [[go out the door]]

The road stretches out before you, There are three ways to reach the tower, you decide to [[Take the forest path|forest path ]] [[Follow the road|main road]] [[Walk though the river bed|river bed]]

you find a sword in the [[take a look|take a closer look]] [[Climb down and leave it|river path 3]]

it appears to have a name inscribed on it [[look closer]] [[leave|river path 3]]

The blade flashes and and you see the words mimic slayer etched across the blade. it looks valuble [[take it]] [[leave it|river path 3]]

you died what a shame [[try again|Untitled Passage]]

the sword whips around and slashes your thoughts you are now going to die... how sad [[die]] (text-colour:black)[[walk it off]]

you died, well look on the bright side...(after:6s)[well there is no bright side, but there is a bright light. you deside to stay away from that, and make your way back to the land of the living. [[continue|river path 3]]
