"Where am I?" questioned Will. He has just woken up in a small room.
"Welcome to the chamber." Came a mesterious voicde from inside his own head. Will looked around for where the sound came from, an exit, anything. The room was completely empty, just a small bed and four cement walls. "Just tell us when you are ready and we will begin."
"What? Where am I and what am I begining?" asked Will.
Silence is all he got.
Before him three doors appeared.
Choose: [[Door 1]] [[Door 2]] Will opens the door and takes a step through as the door slams behind him. He looks back as it slams and pushes him into the new room. As Will turns around he finds himself in a swamp.
It's foggy and the water is up to his ankles. In the distance he sees a light.
[[Go towards the light]]Will opens the door and takes a step through as the door slams behind him. He looks back as it slams and pushes him into a new area. Will has found himself in a barren wasteland. He looks around, yet there are only two things beside dry land, a patch of about three trees and in the other direction is a few buildings but one of them seems to be on fire.
[[Go toward the houses]] [[Go toward the trees]] Will starts walking toward the light. As he approaches the light he notices that there are people dressed in furs and eating around a fire. He begins to walk towards the light and approaches the people around the fire. "Hello? could you tell me were I am?" Will questions the people around the fire.
A ear shattering screech comes from the people around the fire. They take off their hoods and reveal their faces. They were not human.
[[Talk to them]] or [[Run]] "Can you understand me?" Will tried to reach out to them. They had scaled flesh, alsmost like a lizard. They swiftly ran to Will on all fours, zig zagging back and forth.
"What do you think you are doing here?" asked one of the lizard fold. "You have won your war, now let us be. We do not wish to continue this war but if you stay here you will surely meet with an undesirable fate."
"I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I came through a door, I have no idea where I am nor about this war." Will's hands became sweaty as his heart raced. "Could you show me how to get back?" The lizard men took a step back and talked to eachother.
An arrow flew by Will's face, cutting his cheek and striking down one of the Lizards in front of him.
[[Battle]] Will Immediately turned and ran. The lizard men were clearly much faster as it did not take long for them to catch up to Will. They tied his arms and legs together and added more wood onto the fire. Will screamed but it was muffled by the gag over his mouth.
One of the lizards approached him with a small knife. The creature was smelling him, licking the air around him. Removing some clothing from Will the lizard slowly started preparing Will. Will quickly realized that he wasn't being held as a prisoner. The lizards hoisted Will onto a stick rotating over the fire. He became erratic with screams of terror. The lizards had begun to dance around him.
An arrow flew by Will's face, cutting the rope that entangled him and striking down one of the Lizards in front of him.
[[Battle]] A group of men, clad in iron, with sheilds, axes and swords storm the camp from a small hill. Will quickly runs away, afraid of what either side will do to him. He makes it to a large tree just outside of the camp, Will becomes petrified and can't seem to move as he watches the fight unfold.
More arrows come flying from the top of the hill, striking down two more of the lizards. Pure panic is shown by the remaining Lizard folk. Scrambling to get their weapons, the group of men charge into the camp. Swords begin to clash with sheild, bones smash and break. One of the Lizards lets out what could only be described as a war cry. The rest of the lizards rally to him, they seem to be well formed defending a position. The men throw themselves into the pile of lizards. Tearing off tails and shredding the lizards the men jump into the middle where the lizards were defending. One of the men gets out of the pile of bodies and weapons holding a lizard by it's harness, dragging him out and towards the hill. The rest of the men form a protective circle around the man holding the captive. They slowly retreat as they are holding off the few lizards that are left alive. The remaining lizards are covered in wounds and some even have arrows sticking out of them. They retreat in the opposite direction of the Men. As the men move back towards the hill one of the soldiers grabs Will and takes him into the protective circle.
"What just happened?" Will asked.
"We got the son!" Exclaimed one of the soldiers.
Will looked at the soldier with a confused and terrified look on his face. "No, you slaughtered them."
"What? We got the son of the lizard empire, we can finally stop this war!. shouted one of the other soldiers, with the rest screaming behind him.
"What war?" Will asked.
"What war? Where have you been kid? The war between us and the lizards." said a soldier with a confused look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I just came through a door and now im here in this awful swamp." Will began to explain. He told them about how he got there, what had happened to him and questioned how he could get back.
"I have no idea about this door, but we have been at war with the lizards for the last 37 years. They are a conquering nation hell bent on expanding their empire. We are the last kingdom of man, Riounin.
[[How do I get back though?]] "Has anyone seen a door in this swamp?" Asked the soldier. Not a single person said anything. "Yeah I haven't eaither." Sighed the soldier. "Maybe someone at the Castle Kneiv can help you."
"Well it's the only option I have so that will have to do." Will said. The group of men and Will approached a caravan waiting for them to return. The men placed the lizard captive in a cell on a cart being moved by horse. The horses were prepared, sadled, and fed before the men left. The caravan moved onto a roughly made road and started the journey to the kindom of Riounin.
Will stared at the lizard in the cage, wondering if he deserved to be captured.
The lizard spoke softly, "What are you kid? How are you here? The door has been shut for hundreds of years."
"Huh?" Will was confused as to whom said this.
"In the cage fool." said the lizard.
"You know of the door? Tell me what you know of it!" Will yelled at the lizard. A few soldiers heard Will and turned to him looking curious.
"Hush boy, they will seperate us if they hear you." whispered the lizard. "Free me and I will tell you everything I know." Will thought about this for a while. He then seperated himself from the lizard and moved towards the front of the caravan.
Night started to fall and the caravan stopped for the night. A few men came back with pheasants and a deer. They were cooked into stew and given to everyone in the camp. "So what is your kingdom going to do with the lizards after the war is over?" Will asked one of the soldiers.
"I hope we slaughter them all for their crimes against not only us, but all nations that they have taken by force." said one of the soldiers. Many of the men around agreed with him, some didn't care, but not a single person spoke up against destroying all the lizards. "This son of the lizard Emperor should stop all the fighting at the very least."
"All of you would like to see their race gone from the world? That is a sad thing to see. In my world through the door, my fellow men and I are the only things with the intelegence to talk, yet alone wage war." Remarked Will.
"I am glad for you, this war wouldn't happen if they were not here." said a soldier. "Get some sleep for we need to be up at first light to make it to Riounin tomorrow."
Will went to where he set up his makeshift bed out of a fur blanket and a mound of dirt for his head.
[[Sleep]]
[[Free the lizard]] Will wakes up to find the entire camp in a fluster, getting ready for the new day. "Where is the lizard!" Will heard yelling outside. He stands up and moves toward the commotion. "You!" screamed a man. "What did you do?"
Will looked around hoping that he was talking to someone else. He realized it was him who the man was talking to. "I don't know what you are talking about, I have just woke up." Will said.
"I am Lt. Ram of Riounin, if you know anything about the missing lizard I command you to tell me!" screamed lt. Ram.
[[I did it]] [[I didn't do it]] Will grabs an axe next to the lizards cage. Holding the axe over his shoulder he lets the axe down towards the lock but stops himself just before the lock. "How do you know about the door? How do I know I can trust you?" Will asked.
"The door has appeared in many of my people's legends, I can teach you of them, as for wether you can trust me, you will have to do it on faith." the lizard replied. Will looked into the lizard's eyes. They stared at eachother in silence for what seemed like minutes. Suddenly Will picked up the axe and broke th lock.
"Let's find a place to tall" will said. The two ran into the forrest as fast as they could, running through thorns and brush until they came to a clearing. "Thats far enough." Will said as his heavy breathing decreased. "Where is the door?"
The lizard looked around them to make sure no one had persued, then spoke softly, "It is only spoken of in our stories. Said to have been found where a fireball came down from the sky, in the center of the impact. Our people found it first, declaring it a sacred site no one was allowed to go anywhere near it. After years and years we found out that the men of the Riounin have claimed the area and constructed a massive building on the site, their king's home. We were outraged so my ancestors began this war to reclaim the holy land."
"Why did those men know nothing about it?" Will asked.
"The king and his council have kept it a secret, investigating it's power all this time but have yet to find out what it does." the lizard explained. "Even I am astonished to find out you know about the door. If you wish to get back to the door we can lead you there if you help us enter the castle."
[[Help the lizard]] [[Kill the lizard]] "I need to get to that door at any cost," Will told the lizard, "even if that means I have to help you and your people storm that castle. Where do we go from here?"
The lizard looked around, looking for some indication of the direction of his people. "This way I believe." the lizard responded. The two walked in that direction until the sun had just about risen. They came to a wall made of mud and trees. "Welcome to Kinou human." the lizard said as he opened up the gate into the lizards kingdon. "We must get to my father, the King of Kinou, with a human's help we may be able to get into that castle." Will was escourted through the streets, passing odd places. The markets were filled with giant bugs, ants the size of his hands, giant flying insects that had what looked like stingers that could peirce a horse. Will had found himself in a very unfamiliar place. The lizard population in Kinou stared at him as he went toward the castle. He could hear whispers about him, the lizards were afraid and uncertain about this visitor.
Will had gotten to the main castle when he heard a deep raspy voice call out to him. "How dare a human enter the kingdom of Kinou!" a large lizard clad in armor and a long axe looked down on him form the exterior wall. The lizard then jumped in front of him down from the 25 foot wall, making the ground shake around Will. The lizard looked into the eyes of Will, then turned his head to the side looking behind him. "Ah if it isn't Prince Neen! I hadn't heard that your squadron has returned yet." the gaurd said with a smile on his face.
"It's just me." Keen said with a sad look on his face. "This human may be our way to get the othe men's castle. I need to see father." The lizard in armor moved to one side and yelled at other lizards to open the gate. Keen and Will moved into the center of the castle into a large room. The king was sitting there at the end of a long table. "Father!" Keen yelled. "This man claims to have come through the door.
"The door? That door has been shut since we found it." the King claimed.
"But he has come through it, with his help we can infiltrate the enemy's castle and get him back to the door, it would put and end to this war!" exclaimed Keen.
The king pondered for a while. After a long while the King said "This may work." The king gathered his council and asked Will to stay outside while they made a plan. After hours of council, Will was asked to come back in. "If it is your interest Will, we are going to use you to infiltrate the castle. We plan on getting you armor from the kingdom of Riounin, getting you inside to open the gate, and after that a squad of men led by my son Keen will escourt you to the door while the castle is under seige."
Will looked around the room, looking at how all the King's council reacted to telling him this information. He saw no deciet in them. "I will try my best." Will said with confidence in his eyes.
For the next few days Will wandered the castle, investigating the area and lizard warriors. He had grown more curious about the lizards lifestyle and worried about getting home less and less.
[[Storming the castle]] Waiting until the lizard looks around again for more men, Will grabs the axe handle and quickly slices the lizards head off. He places the axe near the lizard and starts walking back towards camp. "I have to find this door in the castle." Will says to himself.
Will enters the campsite where he had made his make-shift bed and falls asleep
[[Sleep]] Will finds himself just outside the gate to Riounin, clad in iron armor that is covered in blood that the lizards had pulled off a soldier. "Who is there?" a gaurd on top of the gate asks.
"Reporting from my squadrons patrol sir! I am the only person to survive an onslaught from a group of those damn lizards." Will tried saying in calm voice but was just too scared to pull it off. The thought of being captured and tortured had grasped Will's brain, making him seem odd. The gate opened slowly. Will walked though the gate towards the man that had just spoken to him.
"Come soldier, tell me what happened." the gaurd told Will as he led him into the gate tower. Will was sat down at a table, across the table was the gaurd and behind him were two more gaurds. "I am lieutenant Ram, what is your name soldier?" he asked Will.
"Will sir." responded Will in a cracked voice.
lt. Ram looked at the other two gaurds and asked them, "Did you know we sent out a patrol in the last few days?" They both looked at him and shook their heads. "I didn't hear anything about it either." Ram said looking back at Will.
[[Make a move to open the gate]] [[Lie]] "I'm sorry, I was just following orders from a superior." Will said trying to keep calm. Will knew that Ram was onto him.
"Who was in charge of this patrol soldier?" Lt. Ram pried. "I want exact names."
Will's hand got sweaty and he worried what would happen to him. Will began to speak, "Well Captain .." Smoke filled the room as two lizards rushed through the window, rushing the gaurds and killing them.
"Get the gate open now!" yelled one of the lizards as he held Lt. Ram down. Will ran to the lever that opened the gate. He threw the lever up, the sand bags balancing the gate fell as the gate opened. Will watched as lizard men came out from farm houses, the moat around the castle, the forrest, even burrows that some lizards made to hide un until now. A few hundred lizards had entered the castle in just a few moments. Will heard somehting running toward the room him and the other lizards were in. He slid up against the wall next to the door.
"Where is will?" questioned something on the other side. Will turned into the door and saw Keen.
"Ready?" Will asked Keen. Keen nodded and they headed into the castle. Will and Keen entered a door into the castle to avoid the fighting of the other men and lizards. They were met by two other lizards behind the door and started making there way towards the door. "Where should the door be?" Will asked Keen.
"It is in the center of the crater, so it should be down further in the castle." explained Keen. The group moved down into the castle, carefulling avoiding any gaurds or fighting. After moving down three levels in the castle they got to a door. Keen opened the door, but to his surprise there were two gaurds in the room with bows already aimed at him. The first arrow missed Keen, landing in the skull of on of the two men he brought. The body fell to the floor in slow motion for Will and Keen as the second arrow was released towards Keen, lodging itself in his arm. Keen quickly reacted and jumped onto the man that had just killed his lizard man. Pulling a dagger from his hip, Keen sliced the gaurds throat. Will and the second lizard ran at the other gaurd, but the gaurd had his sword pulled out already and plunged it through the lizard, making the lizard and the gaurd fall to the ground. Will took his sword and slashed the gaurd across the head and killed him. "I had no idea gaurds would be this deep in the castle with all the fighting. Why were they here?" Keen questioned Will.
"It may have something to do with whatever is behind that door." Will remarked. Keen and Will moved towards the door. Will reached his hand out to the door.
Grabbing Will's hand before he could open the door, Keen warned Will "Careful." Will then cautiously opened the door to a room that much resembled a cave. In the Center was the [[Door]] Will looked worried. Deep down he knew that something would go wrong. "Can I take my armor off sir?" Will asked lt. Ram in a freightened voice.
"I will allow it." said lt. Ram. Will slowly took off his armor peice by peice. Taking his gauntlets off, placing them on the table and placing the rest of his armor on the floor next to him.
"You are very keen on details aren't you lieutenant?" Will asked Ram.
Lt. Ram looked at Will with a grin on his face. he responded, "I take pride in.." before he could finish his sentence Will slipped his hands back into his gauntlets and threw the table onto Ram's face, knocking him out. Will then ran at the two gaurds, delivering a punch to their faces and slamming them to the ground. Will ran towards the lever that raides the gate and released it, sending the bags of sand balancing the gate down and the gate up. The gears for the ropes began spinning out of control and just as the gate opened he threw his gauntlets into the gears, jamming them so they would not be usable any more. Will heard armor moving towards him, more gaurds were coming. He moved towards the window in the gate tower. Noticing the moat around the castle, Will jumped into the water.
Lizards began swarming out of nowhere, from inside farm houses, the woods, some even made burrows underground to hide until now. Hundreds of lizards flooded through the gates and the castle was filled with the clashing of swords and axes. "Are you ready?" a voice came behind Will. It was Keen.
"After that, I am ready to get out of here." said Will, releived that it was just Keen behind him. Keen had brought just three other lizards with him. The team moved into the castle after waiting for the courtyard to clear a little. They entered a door that lead into a large room. "Where should the door be?" Will asked Keen.
"It is in the center of the crater, so it should be down further in the castle." explained Keen. The group moved down into the castle, carefulling avoiding any gaurds or fighting. After moving down three levels in the castle they got to a door. Keen opened the door, but to his surprise there were two gaurds in the room with bows already aimed at him. The first arrow missed Keen, landing in the skull of on of the two men he brought. The body fell to the floor in slow motion for Will and Keen as the second arrow was released towards Keen, lodging itself in his arm. Keen quickly reacted and jumped onto the man that had just killed his lizard man. Pulling a dagger from his hip, Keen sliced the gaurds throat. Will and the second lizard ran at the other gaurd, but the gaurd had his sword pulled out already and plunged it through the lizard, making the lizard and the gaurd fall to the ground. Will took his sword and slashed the gaurd across the head and killed him. "I had no idea gaurds would be this deep in the castle with all the fighting. Why were they here?" Keen questioned Will.
"It may have something to do with whatever is behind that door." Will remarked. Keen and Will moved towards the door. Will reached his hand out to the door.
Grabbing Will's hand before he could open the door, Keen warned Will "Careful." Will then cautiously opened the door to a room that much resembled a cave. In the Center was the [[Door]] "That's it Will!" exclaimed Keen. Will walked up to the door. He grasped the door knob and turned the door opening it. All that he saw was black.
"I guess this is goodbye, what will you do Keen?" Will asked.
Keen grabbed the arrow sill lodged into his shoulder and pulled it out. He looked at Will with a smile on his face, "You know we couldn't have done this without your bravery, thank you Will! I must go back to the fight alongside my father and fight by his side to secure our victory. I wish you the best for whatever happens behind that path."
[[Go through the door]] [[Stay with Keen]] Will looks at Keen with a smile. "I wish the best for you and your people, we haven't known eachother long but I will not forget you Keen." he said with a big grin on his face.
"Nor will I Will." Keen responded. Will turned and walked into the black.
[[Through the door]] "How about I help you out before I leave?" Will asked Keen.
Keen looked surprised, "what about going back to where your'e from? I wouldn't give up your chance so easily."
"I haven't felt this alive in a long time, I don't want to end it or find out you died because I wasn't there." Will told Keen.
"Very well, I admire you Will." Keen said. The two ran back up the castle, past the fallen comrades in the room and up three levels of the castle. they throw the door open to find a courtyard filled with lizard men, and just a few men. For some unknown reason the lizards are on their knees.
"The King!" exclaimed Will. The king was on his knees and a sword on his shoulder. He had been taken as a hostage. "I have an idea." said Will. "Stay here and wait, you will know what to do and when." Will went back into the castle, grabbing a bow and arrow in the castle. He went up stairs onto the second floor and out onto the castle wall. Will took aim.
[[Shoot the man in the heart]] [[Shoot the man in the arm holding the sword]] Will walks through the black. The door slams behind him and he plunges down, falling into a white room. Again will is faced with a choice. Four doors appear before him. Door 1 seems to be locked.
[[Door 2]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will lets the arrow loose. It flys through the air toward the man. Keen watches as the arrow moves towards his father, in fear that it may be aimed at him. he starts sprinting as fast as he can to his father. The arrow strikes the man in the chest, but bounces off the tough armor and reflects into the kings back.
The man is stiken with surprise as Keen keeps running toward him. As the king falls to the ground, Keen reaches his target and slashes erratically at his throat. Keen hadn't realized that his father was still alive. Pulling his blood covered sword from the man, Keen looked at his father. Time stood still for Keen as he looked at his father in despair.
"Ahh..." exaughsted the king.
"Father! I thought you were dead!" cried Keen. he helped his father get back up and sat him on a stool that another lizard had brought to them.
"We have won! The kingdom of Riounin has fallen!" the king exclaimed with great joy. The lizard warriors screamed with joy as they threw down their arms. The lizards of Kinou celebrated for the night. Drinking and dancing had enveloped the castle.
"I know you tried to save my dad Will, and you did, but you also shot him. That is your arrow I pulled from his back." said Keen.
Will looked at Keen with surprise. He thought he saved the king even with the arrow hitting him. He didn't expect Keen to talk to him like this. "I am truly sorry friend, I did what I thought was right, and for that I will not appologize." responded Will.
"I do not expect you to Will. I understand why you did it, just maybe fill me in is all I was asking." said Keen. "We will find you that door tomorrow, but for now, enjoy the night." Will and Keen rejoined the party and before you know it passed out.
The sun rose, and the two met again in the castle. "Where do you think the door is Keen?" asked Will.
"It should be at the botttom of the crater, so we should head down." said Keen. The two headed down into the castle until they found a well barricated door. They removed the barricade and entered the room. The room looked like a cave, water dripped from the walls. In the center of the room was the door. Will walked up to it.
[[Go through the door]] Will let the arrow loose. It flew, suspended in air for Keen as it flew toward his father. Keen sprinted as fast as he could to his father. The arrow landed on it's mark, right in the arm where there is no armor on the elbow for bending. The man drops the sword, and the king catches it before it hits the ground. Before the king can swing it, Keen jumps from the crowd and slashes the man's thoat.
"We have won! The kingdom of Riounin has fallen!" the king exclaimed with great joy. The lizard warriors screamed with joy as they threw down their arms. The lizards of Kinou celebrated for the night. Drinking and dancing had enveloped the castle.
"Thank you for staying and what you have done for me and my father." said Keen.
"It was an honor to help you Keen." remarked Will. The two had become friends, and now that there was no fighting left to do, they enjoyed the night, drinking and dancing until they passed out.
The sun rose, and the two met again in the castle. "Where do you think the door is Keen?" asked Will.
"It should be at the botttom of the crater, so we should head down." said Keen. The two headed down into the castle until they found a well barricated door. They removed the barricade and entered the room. The room looked like a cave, water dripped from the walls. In the center of the room was the door. Will walked up to it.
[[Go through the door]] Will walks for what seems like hours, through sand, up and down the dunes. After a couple of hours Will makes it to the houses. They all look the same, and are seemingly abandoned. Will knocks on a few houses. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Will cried into the town. "I came through that door in the desert and it dissapeared, can anyone help me get back?" Will heard sudden shuffling in one of the houses after he spoke. He slowly walked over to the house he heard it from. Will opened the door to reveal an empty house. Food was still on the table. He put his hand over the foor, it was still warm. Will felt a sharp stinging pain shoot from the bottom of his foot. He looked down to see a scorpion. It scampered off back into the house. Will got woozy and fell over into a deep sleep.
[[Wake up]] Will makes his way towards the tree. He seems to not be getting anywhere, the sand fights him as he moves. Each sand dune feels higher and higher. The sun is now high in the sky. As Will keeps tredging his way through the sand he grows more and more tired. The trees are just a few yards away from him now, he can smell the water near him, but before he gets there Will passes out.
[[Wake up]] "I know nothing, I have no reason to lie to you lt. Ram." Will told Ram, looking directly into his eyes.
Ram stared at Will for a moment. "I will be watching you from now on." Ram said in an intimitating voice. The rest of the men seperated and started loading the caravan. "You will be riding close to me." Ram told Will. The caravan started moving toward castle Kneiv in Riounin.
Uppon arriving at Kneiv the people rejoiced as the soldiers came into the town. The men walked through the center of town to the army's barracks. Men dismounted their horses and began unloading the caravan.
"Come with me." Said Ram. Will was lead into the castle, down a long hall covered in banners.
[[Keep following Lt. Ram]] [[Run and try to find the door before you get in trouble]] Will looked around at all the soldiers. "I did it." he announced. Lt. Ram took him by the arm and threw him onto a log nearby. Wills head laid on the wood.
"I do not know who you are, but this day is your last." said Ram. Ram picked up and axe, grasped it with both hands and placed the cold steel on the back of Will's neck. "Prepare yourself." Ram said. He pulled the axe off Will's neck. The axe fell, falling slower, and slower and slower until time itself had stopped for Will. Time did stop. Will wondered what was happening. Another door opened flat on the ground directly beneath him and Will fell down into another room.
Before him was four more doors. Door 1 seems to be locked.
[[Door 2]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will slams lt. Ram in the face and runs toward a door on the side of the hall. He throws the door open, and runs through the castle. He follows room by room, pushing people out of the way as he makes his way down into the castle further and further. He finally comes to a black door, barred with a large plank. Will throws the plank to the side and opens the door to a room.
Inside is a cave like room with a door in the middle. Will opens the door to a black area. The black pulls him into another room. Before him is another four doors. Door 1 seems to be locked.
[[Door 2]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will keeps following Ram down the hall and opens a door to a large room. In it is what seems to be a king sitting on a throne. "Welcome Ram, who have you brought to me today." said the king.
"He appeared in a camp of lizards out of nowhere." said Ram.
Will looked at the king, "My name is Will sir, I am not from here. I came through a door, some sort of magic door."
The king looked at Will curiously, "The door you speak of has not been opened for over two hundred years, how have you come through it?" asked the king.
Will looked exited. "I am not sure, but if I could use it to get back to where I came from I would greatly appreciate it." he said.
The king pondered what Will just said. "I have a condition, if you allow my council to study the door as you use it so we can find how to use it for ourselves you may leave through it." he suggested to Will.
"Agreed." Will responded quickly. The king gathered the necesarry men and led Will to the very bottom of the castle, behind a black door. They entered a cave like room. In the center was a door, THE door. The kings men set up strange equipment around the door.
"OK, we are ready Will." said the king. Will approached the door and turned the knob.
"Thank you for showing me the way home." Will said to the king and his men. The door pulled him back and into the darkness. A light slowly turns up and Will finds himself again in a room with four doors. Door 1 seems to be locked.
[[Door 2]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will wakes up in the back of a moving wagon. Men are hovering over him. They have masks covering their faces. His mouth has been gagged. The men appear to only have one weapon and they aren't pointing it at him.
[[Try to communicate]] [[Try to run]] Will mumbles, trying to talk to the men. One of them noticed he had awoken and alerted the rest of the men. They removed his gag, and said in at a slow pace to help Will understand what was happening. "We are trying to get you the hell out of this land outsider, you obviously don't belong. We are not keen on taking care of children that can't take care of themselves." One of the men said. Will stopped.
"That is all I want to do, leave." Will responded. "Do you know what this door is" Will asked.
The man in front of the wagon looked at Will, "We don't know what it is but it has been dumping people like you here for a long time. Sometimes we get great warriors with weapons from your world, but most times we get the likes of you." Will looked at himself.
"Yeah i'm not the type of person you would be interested in." Will laughed. The men and Will traveled for almost an hour until they reached the door. It was quiet near the door, the wind had died, sand stood still and the men grew quiet. One of them looked at will and waved him over.
"We have no idea what this place is capable of, if you wish to leave this is your way to leave but we cannot get near it." he said with a crackling voive. Will nodded his head and walked to the door. He slolwy grasped the handle and twisted the door open, revealing a black realm. Will looked back at the men, they were gone. He walked into the black and fell into a room with another four doors. Door 2 seems to be locked.
[[Door 1]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will quickly sits up and headbutts one of the men. He kicks another in the back of the head and rolls out of the back of the wagon. The bindings on his feet come loose as he rolls on the sand and rocks on his way out of the wagon. He quickly runs the exact opposite direction that the wagon is going. Sprinting through sand, Will doesn't make any ground fast. He doesn't look back hoping that they have not yet given chase to him. Just as Will makes it over the hill he hears "Wait! Stop!" from one of the men.
[[Listen to them]] [[Hide in the sand]] "We are trying to get you the hell out of this land outsider, you obviously don't belong. We are not keen on taking care of children that can't take care of themselves." One of the men said. Will stopped.
"That is all I want to do, leave." Will responded.
The men looked at the dune where Will was standing. "Then come so we may get rid of you." Said a man. Will walked down the dune and appologized to the men. "We tied you up to avoid you attacking us when you woke, guess that didn't work did it?" one of the men said in a condesending tone to another man.
The other man looked at him with a smile, "Yea, I guess not. But at least i'm not the one that got headbutted." the man said laughing. "Lets get this idiot home ok?" Will looked at the man offended, but said nothing.
The men loaded back into the wagon and carried on their way. "Do you know what this door is" Will asked.
The man in front of the wagon looked at Will, "We don't know what it is but it has been dumping people like you here for a long time. Sometimes we get great warriors with weapons from your world, but most times we get the likes of you." Will looked at himself.
"Yeah i'm not the type of person you would be interested in." Will laughed. The men and Will traveled for almost an hour until they reached the door. It was quiet near the door, the wind had died, sand stood still and the men grew quiet. One of them looked at will and waved him over.
"We have no idea what this place is capable of, if you wish to leave this is your way to leave but we cannot get near it." he said with a crackling voive. Will nodded his head and walked to the door. He slolwy grasped the handle and twisted the door open, revealing a black realm. Will looked back at the men, they were gone. He walked into the black and fell into a room with another four doors. Door 2 seems to be locked.
[[Door 1]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will dives into the sand, covering himself head to toe and burrowing his way as far down as he can get. Will feels the men moving in the sand above him. He can feel that they are looking in every direction. Mumbles are all he can understand above him. Several minutes later Will decided that the coast is clear and digs his way back up to the surface.
Will comes out of the ground, sand falling from in his hair and all creavases of his body. The sun has just begun to set. Will looks around and sees nothing. He decides to keep moving through the sand with the night cooling the air. As he approaches the top of the dune in front of him he sees it. The door. Will runs to it, falling down and tumbling toward it. He lands in front of the door and stand up to grab its handle. Will slowly opens the door to a black realm. He walks cautiously into it. Falling down into the black Will falls into another room with four doors this time. Door two seems to be locked.
[[Door 1]] [[Door 3]] [[Door 4]] Will opens the door to a dark room. "How did you open that door?" Asked a mysterious figure. Will looked around to see if anyone else was in the room. The room lit up by the tip if a staff the figure was holding. "I have studied magic and that door all my life but have yet to unlock its secrets." he said in a raspy voice. The light revealed an old wrinkled man. He was grey haired, slumped over and covered in a cloak.
"I have no idea, I woke in a room and there was three doors. I opened one and was lead here." Will said.
The man looked at Will, turning his head and looking puzzled. "Then do you want to go through it again?"
[[Yes]] [[No, I want to know about where I am]] All Will saw as he entered the door was a large image. GAME OVER was all that was written. He had just remembered that he was in a video game. He took his headset off to his room. His friends Tom and Frank were there. "How was it?" They both asked. "Did you really forget about us?"
"Yeah." Will said as he slowly adjusted to the real world. "I had no idea what was happening. It was kind of skary actually."Will looks at the wizard. "I want to get back home." he said.
"Then try opening the door again, I want to study you. the wizard said as he readied equipment in the room. Lenses and orbs surrounded the door. The wizard finishes setting up his instruments and looks at Will. "Ready young man, when you feel you are ready too, you may open that door."
"Ready?" Will asked. The magician nodded. Will walked through the door.
Inside there was another emoty room with four doors. The third door seems to be locked.
[[Door 1]] [[Door 2]] [[Door 4]] Will looked around the room, "Teach me about magic and I will leave." Will suggested.
The wizard looked at Will for a few seconds. "I cannot teach you unless you have one of the gifts." the wizard said. He placed a glass of water with a lead in it in front of Will. "place your hands near the glass and focus your energy into your hands. If the water rises, you have enhancer abilities, if the water tastes sweet you can conjurer, If the leaf turns you are a manipulator. Finally, extremely rare, is the specialist. The leaf will burst into flames if you are a specialist." Will closes his eyes and focuses.
Will is a: [[Conjurer]] [[Manipulator]] [[Enhancer]] [[Specialist]] [[No gift]] Will focuses but nothing happens. "Did it work?" Will said.
The wizard looked at the glass. "Apperantly you do not have the gift." he said.
Will looked saddened by the news that he didn't have any abilities. "Wait!" Will said, remembering what the wizard said. "Didn't you say something about taste?"
The wizard picked up the glass and brought it to his lips. "Sweet" the wizard remarked. "It appears that you do have the gift to conjur!" the wizard exclaimed.
"What does this mean I can do?" Will asked.
"You can make things appear that were not there before, pull things from thin air." he said.
Will thought for a few seconds. "Teach me." he said.
Will spent the next month with the wizard, learning simple tricks he was capable. Finally the time had come. "Are you ready to leave?" the wizard asked.
[[Yes]] Will focuses as water poured up and out of the glass. "And we have an enhancer!" proclaimed the wizard.
"What does that allow me to do?" Asked Will.
"You can make items strog as steel, turn your fist into something that can destroy mountains, and boost any items attributes ." he said.
Will thought for a few seconds. "Teach me." he said.
Will spent the next month with the wizard, learning simple tricks he was capable. Finally the time had come. "Are you ready to leave?" the wizard asked.
[[Yes]] Will focuses as Flames jumped off the lead. "And we have a specialist!" proclaimed the wizard.
"What does that allow me to do?" Asked Will.
"That is something unique. you may be able to to do almost anything" he said.
Will thought for a few seconds. "Teach me." he said.
Will spent the next month with the wizard, learning simple tricks he was capable. Finally the time had come. "Are you ready to leave?" the wizard asked.
[[Yes]] Will focuses as the leaf moves around. "And we have a manipulator!" proclaimed the wizard.
"What does that allow me to do?" Asked Will.
"You can move things without touching them, change the form of items and touch men's minds and alter them" he said.
Will thought for a few seconds. "Teach me." he said.
Will spent the next month with the wizard, learning simple tricks he was capable. Finally the time had come. "Are you ready to leave?" the wizard asked.
[[Yes]] Will focuses energy into his hands but nothing happens. "Do I have anything?" he said.
"It appears not, you should go back, do you want to?" the wizard asked.
[[Yes]]
