After waking the next morning you leave your room to find Jill and the Inn keeper talking near the front door. Jill smiles at you as you walk toward them and jumps up to greet you. The Inn keeper waits until Jill is done talking and ask how he can help you today. Explaining your situation to him the Inn keeper walks back over to his desk and sits down.

After a moment he responds, "That is quite the situation. I imagine the only person that may be able to help you is that old Man north of town. He is quite odd, but that seems perfect for you right now. Good Luck."

With that information you set out toward the door, but before you can leave Jill speaks up, "I'm coming with you. You saved me yesterday, the least I can do is make sure you get home. What is the plan?"

Thinking of her words you:

Go back to town

Boggs:

Taking the old man's words to heart you walk back down to Jill. She attempts to ask you what happened but you shush her. As you walk back to town you take her hand in yours and smile. She blushes and smiles back. The two of you walk back to town in silence. Once back in town Jill takes you to her favorite spot to watch the sunset. Looking out over the horizon you get the great sense that you made the right choice and that everything that occurred happened for this reason.

Head out to Find the Old Man.

Boggs:

Arriving at the old man's house Jill stops and waits behind as you make your way up to the old man. You notice that the junk in his front yard looks just like all the tools you have at home. Oddly enough some even have the same inscriptions. You reach the porch steps and carefully walk up them. The entire house appears as though it could fall over at any moment. Once in front of the old man you are overcome with the desire to kneel before him.

As you start to kneel the old man says, "Don't do that, I am no better of a person that you. In fact I am just the same as you."

Confused by the old man's statement you question him about what he meant.

After a moment he responds, "That's not important, however, what is important is that you would like to get home. I can help you, but understand that going home means that you will have to leave behind the one thing in life you desire most. The girl behind you could become a very special person in your life if you stay."

Taking in the old man's words you turn around and gaze at Jill. She is a beautiful girl and seems grateful you saved her.

The old man continues as you turn back toward him, "If you desire to go home then all you must do is enter the left door just inside my house. However, if you wish to stay all you must do is turn around and go back to town."

The Old Man

Boggs:

Reaching the old man's house you quickly find a path through the junk in his yard and run up to him. Ignoring the odd look of his house and peacefulness of his eyes you quickly question whether he can get you home or not. Slowly studying you he notices the pendant around your neck and asks where you got it. After telling him your story he shakes his head and pauses for a moment.

Pointing to his house he says,"Just inside the first door you will come across a two doors. The one on the will take you home, however if you use the pendant to open the door on the right, you will go somewhere much more fitting for you."

Quickly you run into the house and find the two doors.

Right Door

Boggs:

Overcome by the mystery of the right door you walk over and open it. All at once it seems as though everything in the cave is sucked into the black void behind the door. Pain and grief strike you as you are pulled through the dark void. Within seconds you are thrown into a new world you have never seen before. Strange creatures stare at you as you lay on the ground trying to forget the pain you just endured. Slowly standing up you notice that the ground seems to be nothing but gold and that the grass is as white as snow. Within moments the creatures descend upon you but do not harm you. Instead they carry you off into the unknown world.

Only wishing to see your family you choose the left door. Opening the door a bright light floods the room. As you enter your body begins to float and you are surrounded in a glow of white light. The feel like never before and almost wish that you could stay in this bath of light forever. Suddenly water surrounds and you feel as though you are drowning. Fighting your way to the surface of the water you rise from the lake near your home. Fighting to catch your breath you scare your cattle in the pasture and swim toward shore. Laying on shore you try to catch your breath when a bright flash nearly blinds you. After a few seconds you can see again and you notice that your cattle are across the field near the lone tree.

Boggs:

North of the old man's house you come across a dark cave. Following the old man's advice you carefully enter the cave. The cave is so dark you cannot even see the walls of the cave but somehow you can see the path directly in front of you, as though it is being lit for you. The path seems endless as you travel deeper into the cave. After what seems like hours you finally reach an open area with an odd looking man standing in the middle. The man turns around to face you and suddenly the entire cave is bright as day. As you peer throughout the cave you see that even you it felt as though you walked for hours you can still see the cave entrance. The walls of the cave are covered with worms and odd looking slugs.

Approaching the odd looking man two doors appear next to him. In an ominous voice he says, "You wish to go home, I will grant you that wish. However I can also do you something much better. The left door will take you home, where the right door will take you is a mystery. What drives you? The curiosity of what mysteries could be behind the door on the right, or the desire to get home? The choice is yours.

Boggs:

Walking over to the girl's father a round of applause greets you. The girl's father notices the applause and sees his daughter. With a hesitation he quickly runs over to the girl and hugs her.

The father says, "Jill, I'm so glad to see you. I wasn't sure what happened to you."

Jill responds. "It's all thanks to the hero over here, He saved me from that man."

Jill's father walks over to you with tears in his eyes and asks, "How can I repay the great service you have done me."

After a short pause you ask him if he can help you get home. After telling him your story he tells you to head north. Near a mile north of town lives and old man who is said to hold all knowledge. Re-energized you begin to walk toward the north of town.

Jill quickly catches up to you and says, "I'm coming with, I want to make sure you get home...So what is the plan."

Without a word to the girl you walk straight to the Inn, you have had a long day and feel that you deserve some much needed rest. The Inn does not have the most inviting appearance, but you find as you enter the Inn you find that the inside is much nicer than the outside. Wonderful smells coming from the kitchen distract you from your original purpose and the girl beats you to the counter. While you are taking in the aroma she quickly gets the attention of the Inn keeper who appears to know her.

The Inn keeper gets up in a haste, runs over to the girl and hugs her. "Glad to see that you are ok Jill, I was worried about you."

Jill turns to you as she says, "Well, it is all thanks to the hero over there. He stopped that man from catching me."

Hearing them talk about you brings you back to reality. Walking over toward them you ask if there is a spare room to spend the night. The Inn keeper runs behind the counter and grabs the key to room four. Returning to you he hand you the key. "Typically the rooms go for $20, but since you helped Jill I will let you stay for $10."

You pull $10 out of your pocket and hand it to the Inn keeper, who stares at the money for a moment before accepting it. Walking down the hall you can hear Jill say something about seeing you in the morning. Inside your room you lay down on your bed and quickly fall asleep.

After a moment the Inn keeper says, "Umm, the old man north of town might be able to help you."

You quickly raise your hand and scratch your head, which startles the Inn keeper to the point he falls back into the wall behind him. Giving him a confused look you turn around and begin to walk toward the door. Just before you leave the Inn you pause for a moment and consider your options.

It takes you a moment to find the priest after exiting the Inn. Feeling good about what today will bring you walk to the priest in a haste. You notice many people alter their path to avoid you. Ignoring all the bystanders you focus on the priest who appears to be starring off into the sky as he preaches. As soon as you reach him the priest stops his prayer and gazes in your direction. You notice that he is blind and is trying to determine your exact position.

Before you can speak the priest says, "You're not from around here. Your presence is disrupting our community."

Without an apology you ask the priest if he can help you get home.

Starring back toward the sky he answers, "Normally I would not help men following your path, but if it means restoring peace to the community I will. Head north of town. There you will find and old man who will give you the answer you seek. Be weary however, it may not be as you expect."

With the priest's words in mind you:

The Inn seems to call to you, your day has been long and tense. You decide that a good nights rest may be all you need to put things back in order. Although the Inn's outward appearance is dirty and gritty, as soon as you enter you find that the place is nice and clean. You walk to the counter as you admire the pleasant smells coming from the kitchen. The Inn keeper pays you no attention so you decide to speak up. Catching his attention you watch as he slowly lifts his hat from over his eyes and looks at you. At first he appears frustrated and upset but as he studies you a quick shot of fear crosses his face before he manages to regain composure.

Carefully the Inn keeper take a key from the wall behind him and hand them to you. Stuttering, he barely manages to say that your room is number four. As you reach in your pocket he quickly says "No, No, you room is free." You're not going to argue with a man who just gave you a free room so you head to your room. You can feel the Inn keeper watch you walk to your room, but you try pay him no mind. Laying on the bed you can't help but wish you were at home laying on your own bed. After a few moment you fall asleep.

Approaching the Merchant you notice a smirk form on his face as he sees you. Before you have a chance to speak the merchant raises his hand to stop you.

Talking slowly he says, "Your not from around here. I can tell by the odd look in yours eyes. You're lucky no one else in town has noticed, they wouldn't take well to strangers. The last one burnt down that house over there."

Looking toward where the Merchant is pointing you notice the building that the smoke leading you to town was rising from. The smoke has nearly stopped rising but the burnt down house is still easily distinguishable. Turning back to the Merchant you see him recollect himself for a moment before continuing.

"I suggest you Talk to the Old Man just north of town. He won't have much to say, but he is the only one that can help you get back home."

Without giving you the opportunity to speak the merchant goes back about his business. Realizing you won't be able to get any more information out of the Merchant you look toward the north side of town and see a road leading out.

After following the Road that heads north of town for a near a mile you come across and old house. The house appears to have neglected for many years. The wood that holds that makes up the house is rotting away and the front door is open and hanging from the hinges. You see an old man in a rocking chair sitting on the front porch peering off into the distance. After finding a path through the junk in the front yard you make your way to the old man, who has not even acknowledged your presence. Once on the porch near the old man you quietly ask him if he can help you get home. The old man stops rocking in his chair for a moment before responding.

"Yes."

The old man continues rocking in his chair and you wait for him to continue for a moment. When he does not continue you ask what you have to do to get home. The old man once again stops rocking before responding.

"If you truly wish to go home, continue to follow the road north, inside a cave your answer lays."

Back to his slow rock the old man appears to fall asleep. After a moment you:

After putting the pendant around your neck you head up the path. A short walk later you enter the town the smoke originated from. Although the fire is out, many people are still standing around watching the building that burnt down. As you walk through town people give you angry or scared looks and seem to avoid you. You notice that many are using tools made from steel instead of the wood tools you are use to. Further into town you begin to hear people talk to each other quietly as you pass but you cannot make out what they are saying. You walk toward a Priest who is preaching outside his church. The Priest notices you and stops preaching and you see an Inn near the church.

Ignoring the stares and angry looks you:
*[[Enter the Inn looking for rest.]]
*[[Approach the Priest]]

Upon entering town the people of the area seem to pay no attention to you. The building that the smoke is rising from does not appear to be on fire any longer but a few people are still standing near it to make sure the fire doesn't start back up. The town is not very big but appears slightly more modern. You notice that people are using equipment made of steel instead of the wood equipment you are use to. Many people are strolling around town on business. Coming across an Inn you realize that you are fairly tired.

After some debate you:
*[[Talk to the the Merchant across from the Inn.]]
*[[Enter the Inn to get some rest.]]

A lot is on your mind because of the recent events and you do not feel like stepping in to help, you have more important matters on hand. After watching the man chase the girl down the path you focus your attention back toward the smoke. Without looking back at the man and girl you continue down the path hoping it will lead you to some answers. After walking up a small hill you begin to see what looks like a town. You can see that the smoke must be coming from one of the buildings.

Only pausing for a moment you continue into town:
*[[Go to town neutral|Enter town.]]

As the girl runs by you notice a tear run down her face. Overcome by the desire to help her you stop the man and attempt to convince him to stop. He violently refuses and you have no choice but to fight him. The man is strong but old and slow. You use your speed and agility to make quick work of him. Realizing he has no chance the man turns and runs back up the path out of sight. Wiping some blood from your lip you notice that the girl is standing behind you. Before you have a chance to react to her presence the girl give you a hug and thanks you for helping her escape from the man. After thanking you she expresses that she is still afraid of him coming after her however, and asks if you would lead her up the path into town.

Thinking for a moment you:
*[[Allow the girl to tag along.]]
*[[Go to town neutral|Express that you do not want company right now.]]

Heading toward the smoke you find a path near the lake that you have never seen before. Peering down the path you see that it appears head right toward the smoke and decide to travel down it. The path appears to have been worn in over many years and has seen much travel. Along the path you notice sounds of birds that you do not recognize and plants with berries that you have never tasted. Further down the path you begin to hear screaming and shouting. A few moments later a young girl comes running down the path followed by an older man. It appears as though the man is trying to catch the girl.

You decide to:

Deciding that the girl must have done something wrong you stop her as she tries to run down the path. She struggles to get away from you but you hold on with a firm grasp and wait for the man to catch up. As soon as the man reaches you he slaps the girl in the face.

The man peers at you and says with and angry face, "I could have caught her myself, but take this for you trouble."

Without even the slightest smile the man removes a pendant from around his neck and tosses it to you. Grabbing the girl by the arm he quickly drags her back up the path. As they leave view you can just see that the girl is crying. You study the pendant but cannot find any value in it.

Before you continue up the path you:
*[[Go to town neutral|Toss the pendant aside.]]
*[[Put the pendant around your neck.]]

Go back to your daydreaming

Figuring that the cattle were just spooked by something of no harm you decide to let yourself fall back into your daydream. You begin to day dream about your pet cow who is grazing among the rest of the cattle. You go back to the time when the cow was first born and how hard you had to work to keep her alive. The thought brings you back to reality and you realize that you must check to make sure the cattle are alright. Sitting back up you notice that the entire heard is headed right for you.

Without hesitation you decided to:
*[[Stand your ground in hopes that the cattle will veer away from you.]]
*[[Turn and run toward the tree in the pasture.]]

Stand your ground in hopes that the cattle will veer away from you.

Deciding to stand you ground you are overcome by fear and cannot bear to watch the cattle as they come toward you. With your eyes closed the sounds of the cattle coming closer and closer to you fill your mind with horrible images of what will come of you if they trample you. As you wait for your fate to be decided you quickly notice that all the sounds have stopped. Opening your eyes you see that all the cattle are gone and the sky is pitch black, but it is as bright as day outside. Suddenly lightning strikes the ground and you are knocked unconscious.

Moments pass before you regain consciousness. Slowly you stand up and check yourself over. To your amazement you feel no pain and are unharmed. Confused at what just occurred you look around the pasture. The cattle are no where to be found but the sky is back to it's typical blue color. Slowly walking about the pasture you notice that the lake is now also as calm as ever. You notice that off in the distance behind the lake an unusual smoke is billowing into the sky.

Still not aware of what happened you:
*[[Decide to investigate the cause of the smoke.]]
*[[Turn back home.|Go home in hope of an explanation.]]
[[Category: A Strike of Light]]

Turn back home.

Hoping that your family will be able to help you and give you insight as to what happened, you turn back home. You know the path home by heart since you have taken it hundreds of times in the past. Walking on the trail home you start to become worried when you cannot see your house. You know that you should have arrived at it by now and you know that you are on the right path, but your house is nowhere to be found. After walking for a bit longer you decided to turn back up the path thinking that maybe the flash just confused you. Before long you arrive back at the pasture and can still see the smoke rising from the distance. Quickly looking around the pasture you see that the cattle are still nowhere to be found and that it doesn't even look as though cattle have grazed here in quite some time.

You realize you only have one choice:
*[[Decide to investigate the cause of the smoke.|Head toward the smoke.]]
