<<set $sword to false>>

You're sitting in your bedroom, staring out the window, wondering why you feel so //alone// and //scared// and //angry//. You just want to be accepted for who you are and who you love. You need to [[get out]]...

You go to the forest behind your house and decide to take a walk to clear your head of the racing thoughts. You see a small dagger stabbed into the ground. Should you [[grab it]] just in case? Which way do you turn? [[Left]] or [[right]]?

You go to the forest behind your house and decide to take a walk to clear your head of the racing thoughts. Which way do you turn? [[Left]] or [[right]]?

<<set $sword to true>> The dagger seems old. It has a good amount of weight and an intricate handle. You carry it by your side and [[continue on|get out2]].

Out of the corner of your eye you see a twinkling light. It glows a pale yellow and you peek around a tree to find the source of the [[light]].

You hear rustling as you make your way down the path. You come into a clearing and find the source of the [[noise]].

Behind the tree you see a pixie. She beckons you toward her. Is she [[friendly]]? Or does she mean [[harm]] to you?

In the clearing you find a centaur. He waves you to come toward him? Can you [[trust]] him? Or [[no]]?

You talk with the pixie and tell her that your world doesn't accept you for who you are. She sympathizes with you and offers you a home with her. You can become a pixie and live out the rest of your days in the forest. However, you can never see your family or friends again. Do you [[stay]] in the forest? Or do you [[decline]] her offer and go back home?

She flies towards you and starts to attack your face. You manage to get ahold of her wings and throw her to the ground. You [[run]] off towards the exit of the forest.

You talk with the centaur tell him that your world doesn't accept you for who you are. He understands your pain and asks if you want to stay with him. However, you cannot go back to your world. Do you [[stay|stay2]] in the forest? Or do you [[decline|decline2]] his offer and go back home?

He pulls out his bow and arrow and aims it at your chest. You manage to dodge out of the arrow's path and it sticks into the ground behind you. You [[run|run2]] off towards the exit of the forest.

She sprinkles her pixie dust on you and you shrink down to the size of a dime. Your wings shine and your skin glows. You feel at peace knowing you never have to go back to that awful world. You are free.

You tell the fairy how grateful you are for her offer, but you cannot abandon your friends and family. You [[walk]] back towards the entrance of the forest.

You run through the forest as fast as you can. The switches on the trees cut up your face and the thorns in the bushes scrape your legs. You see the light of the forest entrance. You are almost home. However, you stop suddenly as you see [[something]] blocking your path.

He takes you back to his commune and introduces you to his herd. He shows you where you'll be sleeping and gives you the rundown on how life will be. As you lay down in your new bed, you feel a sense of relief wash over you. You are free.

You tell the centaur how grateful you are for his offer, but you cannot abandon your life. You [[walk|walk2]] back towards the entrance of the forest.

You run through the forest as fast as you can. You twist your ankle while jumping over a log and cut your arm open on a tree branch. You see the light of the forest entrance. You are almost home. However, you stop suddenly as you see [[something]] blocking your path.

As you walk back towards your house, you think about the pixie's offer. It was nice of her to offer you a new life, but you have to go back. You have to face the judgement of your peers and life your life. However, you suddenly notice [[something]] blocking your way out of the forest.

You find a basilisk coiled up at the entrance to the forest. It stares at you and makes a hissing sound. It looks like it's about to strike. What do you do? There's only one thing to do: [[fight it]].

<<if $sword is true>> The basilisk lunges at you with his deadly jaws open. In an instant, you remember the dagger you found and plunge it upwards and into his mouth. He goes limp and falls to the ground, leaving a pool of teal blood. You catch your breath and calm your nerves before warrily [[continuing out of the forest]]. <</if>> <<if $sword is false>> The basilisk lunges at you with his deadly jaws open. You attempt to dodge out of the way, but he matches your moves. He locks his jaws on your side and you scream out, hoping someone or something would come to your rescue. As you continue to lay there, you start to feel cold. Right before you blackout, you think about how cruel the world is. How hateful and mean the world is. Maybe dying isn't so bad after all. <</if>>

As you walk back home, you think about everything you've experienced in The Forest. Will you ever be happy? Accepted? Loved? That's up to you.
