<img src="Project/Images/The Shrouded Realm.PNG" /> Welcome to The Shrouded Realm; a place of wonder, magic and mystery. Prepare for your adventure. [[The History of The Shrouded Realm|1]] <<audio "intromusic" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Battle of the Obsidian Domain .png" /> The Shrouded Realm as we know it was born following the Battle of the Obsidian Domain. Some believe this is the forming of the world, though nobody can be sure. [[Continue|1a]]

<img src="Project/Images/Battle of the Obsidian Domain .png" /> Obsidian refers to volcanic rock, in this case in particular, it refers to the belief that a volcano wiped out the world and the battle was the first on the new soil. It was a battle for power. [[Continue|1b]]

<img src="Project/Images/Battle of the Obsidian Domain .png" /> The current King controversially came into power by being born into the family of the winner of the battle. [[Back to present|1c]]

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> You are standing in front of an elderly man with a long white beard. He is a Wizard. He had to be. [[Continue|1d]]

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> "Welcome to The Shrouded Realm, I am Druidai. You are needed for a quest to help [[save the Kingdom|1e]].

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> The Witch who lives in The Howling Forest has taken the King and banished him to an unknown place. I am the hand of the King, my magical abilities are itilised for times of dire need, such as this. [[However...|1f]]

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> ...I have been placed under a curse. My powers now match the abilities of a young Warlock just discovering his magic and so I cannot get him back. You are unknown to the Witch and her minions and so you can get close enough to her to [[help me|1g]]

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> You must help the Kingdom. Find the Witch and defeat her. Save the King." [[Continue|1h]]

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> Are you [[male]] or [[female]]? <<audio "intromusic" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Hero.png" /> You are Col. You value family and loyalty. You believe anything is possible through hard work and determination, you never back down until something is proven to be out of reach. [[...|Male 2]]

<img src="Project/Images/Heroine.png" /> You are Meggy. You are strong and brave. you had always seen yourself as more than "just a woman" as a lot of men would label you. [[...|Female 2]]

<img src="Project/Images/Hero.png" /> Your father was a night in The Black Vale, where you are originally from, and you had always looked up to his courage and bravery. He will be your inspiration on this quest. [[Begin quest|START]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> The Wizard disappears as you enter the forest and your [[quest begins]]. <<audio "intromusic" fadeout>> <<audio "forest" loop play>> <<audio "footsteps" loop play>> <<audio "magic" volume 0.1 loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Heroine.png" /> You accepted the quest to prove that it is possible for a woman to save the King and his Kingdom. [[Begin the quest|START]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You [[begin walking through the forest|2]], encountering different sights and sounds. You are a long way from home.

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You continue walking. You are in awe of the new world you had stepped into. You find it hard to believe such a dark event has happened, it [[seemed completely peaceful|2a]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> The trees seem to be guiding your path. The leaves and shrubbery magically grow in front of the path, forcing you onto a different one and changing the direction of your journey to find the witch. This was interesting and enchanting at first, however, [[it quickly became irritating|2b]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> Were you just being forced around in circles? [[Is this the work of the witch|2c]]?

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> You reach a dead end. Do you go [[left]] towards a dense forest or [[right|Hut in woods]] towards a hut in the woods? <<audio "footsteps" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> You encounter a goblin. He is small but menacing, his face twisted into a [[menacing smirk|left 1]] <<audio "goblin" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "You must be here as Druidai's little helper. You don't fool me" the Goblin says. [["Let me carry on my journey, Goblin"|left 2]] <<audio "goblin" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "Everything is my business. Now, I'll let you go if you answer this question. If you were listening to Druidai you will know the [[answer|left 3]]"

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> The Goblin is completely disregarding your protests against who you are. You decide to allow him to ask his question, just wanting to [[continue|left 4]]

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "What was the name of the first battle on the new soil of The Shrouded Realm called?" He asks. [[The Volcanic Battle|Wrong]] [[The Battle of the Obsidian Domain|Correct]] [[The Battle of Fire and Ash|Wrong]]

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> The Goblin lets out a menacing laugh. You answered incorrectly. With a sudden flash of light you find yourself outside a small hut in the woods. [[Enter|Hut in woods]] <<audio "goblinlaugh" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> The Goblin scowls at you. You answered correctly. He reluctantly lets you continue on your way. You continue through the forest, however, you find yourself stumbling into a [[stone maze]]. <<audio "snarl" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> You enter the hut in the woods. There isn't much around. Your eyes focus on a [[table]] with a number of glass bottles containing potions. There is also a [[potion book]]. You [[open the book|3]]. <<audio "forest" fadeout>> <<audio "magic" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Potions .png" /> [[Back|Hut in woods]]

<img src="Project/Images/Spell Book .png" /> [[Back|Hut in woods]]

<img src="Project/Images/Spell Book .png" /> You flick through the pages of the potion book. You settle on a potion titled [[Fortitude Orb|3a]].

<img src="Project/Images/Spell Book .png" /> INGREDIENTS LIST (in order) -Eye of Newt -Figs -Stone [[Continue|3b]]

<img src="Project/Images/Spell Book .png" /> Choose the correct order of ingredients to create the potion. [[Eye of Newt, Stone and Figs|Wrong2]] [[Figs, Stone and Eye of Newt|Wrong2]] [[Eye of Newt, Figs and Stone|Correct2]] [[Stone, Eye of Newt and Figs|Wrong2]]

Oops. <img src="Project/Images/Broken glass black.png" /> You got it wrong and didn't get to test your magic skills. [[Better luck next time|33]] <<audio "smash" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Firework black.png" /> A bright light fills the room. You correctly concocted the Fortitude Orb potion! Well done on your first attempt at magic in [[The Shrouded Realm|3c]]. <<audio "Spell1" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> You are free to continue on your quest. You [[continue through the forest|3d]]. <<audio "Spell1" stop>> <<audio "forest" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> The trees continue to create dead ends for you right before your eyes. Suddenly, you are forced inside the entrance of a [[stone maze]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You continue through the forest, finally able to [[continue your quest|3d]]. <<audio "smash" stop>> <<audio "forest" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You begin to walk through the maze in a series of left and right turns. You have no idea how to get out. You feel as though you will never see anything again other the sight of the dull stone wall you face with every wrong turn. [[Left|mazeleft]] <<audio "forest" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> Due to the high walls of the maze, the outside world was totally shut out. [[Right|mazeright]].

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You felt completely alone and disconnected from the rest of The Shrouded Realm. [[Right|mazeright2]].

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You found it hard to believe just moments before entering the stone maze you were surrounded by beautiful greenery and nature. Now there is nothing but you and stone. [[Left|mazeleft2]].

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You continue walking. Determined to escape and continue on the quest you vowed to complete. [[Right|mazeright3]].

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You come to a point where you must make a decision. You must nearly be at the end now, you think to yourself. [[Left|escapemaze]] [[Right|dragonmaze]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> You successfully make it out of the stone maze unscathed. You re-enter the vibrant forest, appreciating its sights and sounds more than ever. [[Continue walking|quest after maze]]. <<audio "footsteps" play>> <<audio "forest" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/White.png" /> You see a light at the end of the tunnel. The exit! You [[walk towards it|4]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> You see an opening in the forest. You walk towards it and find yourself entering a small [[village]]. <<audio "forest" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Village .png" /> You walk through the village. You hear the hustle and bustle of a market in the background. You approach the [[village square]]. <<audio "forest" fadeout>> <<audio "footsteps" stop>> <<audio "market" volume 0.5 loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Village square.png" /> As you enter the busy village square you take in the [[change of atmosphere|5]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> Uh-oh. You see a dragon blocking your path! [[Fight|41]] [[Run away|42]] [[Hide|43]] <<audio "growl" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> You pull your [[sword]] from your sheath. You [[attack the dragon|411]]. <<audio "drawsword" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> You get lucky. The dragon is strong but is not quick. You run out back into the [[forest|421]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> You try to hide around the corner from the exit of the maze. You [[hope the dragon gives up|431]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> You [[continue|quest after maze]], thankful to be out of the maze. <<audio "roar2" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> The dragon moves. Do you go [[left|dragonleft]] or [[right|dragonright]]? <<audio "drawsword" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> You strike the dragon, injuring it. You are able to escape back to the forest to [[continue your quest|421]]. <<audio "roar2" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> You went the wrong way! The dragon lunges towards you and you try to [[dodge it|dragon right 2]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> You manage to escape, the dragon distracted when it misses you. You run back out of the maze into the forest to [[continue your quest|421]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon maze.png" /> The dragon does not give up. You have no choice but to [[fight|41]].

<img src="Project/Images/Village square.png" /> You walk through, taking in the sounds of people and animals, the different sights and smells that came from the food stalls and different animals dotted around. [[Your stomach rumbles|5a]]

<img src="Project/Images/Village square.png" /> You wander around some of the stalls. Your eye gets caught bu a delicious looking hog roast to your right. <img src="Project/Images/Hog roast.png" /> You decide to [[buy some|5b]].

<img src="Project/Images/Gold coins.png" /> "Three gold coins, please" the vendor says as he hands you some meat. You [[hand over the coins|5c]] and eat your food.

<img src="Project/Images/Village square.png" /> The meat was [[delicious|5d]].

<img src="Project/Images/Speaking civillian.png" /> You continue your exploration of the village square when you are stopped by a man. "[[You're the one helping the wizard, Druidai, aren't you? To save the king?|5e]]"

<img src="Project/Images/Speaking civillian.png" /> You are confused. [["How do you know?"|5f]]

<img src="Project/Images/Speaking civillian.png" /> He continues pushing. [[It is you isn't it!|5g]]

<img src="Project/Images/Speaking civillian.png" /> You reluctantly nod. He wasn't going to give up and you [[just wanted to continue on your way|5h]] without further harassment.

<img src="Project/Images/Speaking civillian.png" /> This gains you a lot of attention from the people in the square. "The man you are tying to save is a false king. He does not deserve to be on the throne!" the man says angrily. [[You are shocked|5i]]. <<audio "crowd" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Village crowd.png" /> You don't know much about the politics of The Shrouded Realm but you hadn't expected a reaction like this against the King and Druidai. "[[Stop your quest! He is not worthy!|5j]]" Somebody in the crowd shouts.

<img src="Project/Images/Village crowd.png" /> You are bombarded with a series of shouts from the people who are now surrounding you. Somebody grabs your arm and [[pulls you away|5k]]. <<audio "market" fadeout>> <<audio "crowd" fadeout>> <<audio "village2" fadein>>

<img src="Project/Images/Amis.png" /> "The King and Druidai are not popular amongst village folk. Or anobody who is not wealthy, for that matter" the stranger explains. "I am Amis. Nice to meet you" [[he says|6]]. <<audio "footsteps" loop play>> <<audio "crowd" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> "Nice to meet you, too." You say, introducing yourself. After a while of small talk as you stroll through the less crowded area of the village you get curious about what had happened in the square. [[Ask why the King is not liked by the non-wealthy|6a]] [[Forget it|6-1]]

[[You have decided not to find out more about the men you are trying to save|6a]]

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> Amis thinks and sighs before replying to your question. "The King does a lot for those who are wealthy. His family, his friends, and their families. [[However...|6b]]

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> ... those who do not have wealth or ties to royalty have experienced very hard times. A number of wars such as [[The Battle of King's Mountain]] have resulted in [[death, famine and the destruction of homes and whole villages|6c]]."

<img src="Project/Images/Kings mountain.png" /> The Battle of King's Mountain happened 5 years ago between the current King and other nobles from around the globe. It resulted in [[destructions of whole towns and villages caused by dragon fire|Battle2]]. <img src="Project/Images/Fire.png" /> <<audio "combat" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Kings mountain.png" /> It took years for the homeless problem across The Shrouded Realm to be reduced. A lot of people are bitter towards the King as well as Druidai who they believed did nothing to help them in their struggles. [[Back|6b]] <<audio "combat" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> You are shocked and begin to [[question whether you were right in accepting Druidai's quest|6d]].

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> "You seem unknowing about The Shrouded Realm. I will accompany you on your quest" Amis says. It is more of a statement than a question. "This is a dangerous time in our land. [[You may need more knowledge than you alone possess|6e]]" he adds.

<img src="Project/Images/Village street.png" /> You agree. He seemed nice and more knowledge could be useful on your quest. You both [[continue walking through the village|6f]], sticking to side streets to avoid anymore attention to yourself and your purpose in The Shrouded Realm.

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 3 .png" /> You come to the end of the village and end up back in the forest to continue your journey. This time with a companion. Your trip to the village was eye opening and slightly unnerving. But you were happy you had a full stomach. [[You may need all the strength you can get|7]]. <<audio "forest2" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You continue to mull over the new information you have learned about the King. [[Was he really that bad, or did people just not want him to be their ruler?|7a]] <<audio "footsteps" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Amis in forest.png" /> "So, why is Druidai not able to save the King himself?" [[Amis asks|7b]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> "The Witch put a curse on him when she took the King. His powers are limited so he is not powerful enough to even stand a chance" You reply. "What are you meant to do that he can't?" He asks. "I am unknown to the Witch. I will be able to get close to her before the battle" [[Continue through the forest in silence|7c]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You both continue through the forest. You are no longer phased by the trees diverting your path; you just go with it. [[Go right|7dright]] [[Go left|7dleft]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> [[Go left|7dleft2]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> [[Continue straight|7e]]

<img src="Project/Images/Valley .png" /> You end up on a cliff at the edge of the forest, looking over a beautiful [[valley|7f]]. <<audio "footsteps" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> [[Continue straight|7e]]

<img src="Project/Images/Valley .png" /> You are finally able to take in the full beauty of The Shrouded Realm for the first time since arriving. "Look! A dragon!" You exclaim, pointing into the [[distance|7g]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon flying 1.png" /> You [[watch|7h]] as a dragon flies in the distance in awe. <<audio "roar1" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon flying 2.png" /> "WOAH!" Amis shouts as a dragon [[flies past right where you are standing|7i]]. <<audio "roar1" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Close fly.png" /> "He is huge!" You say, shocked at the creatures [[in front of you|7j]]. <<audio "roar1" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Valley .png" /> The dragons fly off as if they had finished a show, [[leaving the serene atmosphere that was there before they arrived|8]]. <<audio "roar1" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> After the short break you had to admire The Shrouded Realm, you think it would be best to carry on with your quest. You head back out into the [[forest|8a]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> "Well, well, well...look who it is" a familiar voice says behind you. [[You turn|8b]].

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> You see the Goblin standing there with a wicked smile. "You will not succeed in your quest. [[You will never beat the Witch|8c]]" He says. <<audio "goblin" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> You decide to ignore the Goblin. You motion for Amis to follow you as you silently walk away from him. [[You think you have gotten rid of him when...|8d]] <<audio "goblin" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> You hear a third pair of footsteps behind you and Amis. "I'm sure by now you have heard the negative whispers about the King and Druidai on your journey. [[Yet, you still continue to work in their favour...|8e]] <<audio "footsteps" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> Does this make you loyal...or just stupid?" He growls. [[Reply|8f]] [[Ignore|8-f]] <<audio "footsteps" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day .png" /> "I am loyal because that is the right thing to do for The Shrouded Realm" you say, [[not bothering to turn to look at the creature|8g]].

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> "Hmm..." the Goblin says with a smirk. [[He can sense you are doubting your loyalties|9]].

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> The Goblin snickers in disbelief as he disappears [[but does not reply|9]]. <<audio "goblinlaugh" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "Perhaps a reminder of the negative aspects of the King and his rule. Answer my question correctly and you can continue on your journey. Answer incorrectly and I will make your path more difficult" The Goblin says, [[offering a deal|9a]].

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "You are not allowed any input" he quickly snarls at Amis. You [[agree to the challenge|9b]], knowing it is the only way to get rid of him.

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "What is the name of a battle that resulted in death, famine and the destruction of homes in The Shrouded Realm?" [[The Battle of The Shrouded Realm|Wrongbattle]] [[The Battle of the Obsidian Domain|Wrongbattle]] [[The Battle of King's Mountain|Correctbattle]]

You answered incorrectly. It was the [[Battle of King's Mountain|9c]].

Well done! You managed to [[answer correctly|9cc]]. <<audio "forest2" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> The Goblin laughs. "I knew you wouldn't be able to do it. [[You will now have to work a little harder to complete your quest|9d]]" <<audio "goblinlaugh" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/White.png" /> With a flash of light you find yourself in another [[stone maze|9e]]. <<audio "forest2" fadeout>> <<audio "flash" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You sigh, looking at Amis. By the look on his face you can tell that he has never been in this situation before and you knew he would not be any help. [[Left|9ee]] [[Right|9f]] <<audio "flash" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> Dead end. [[Go back|9e]]

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You continue walking down a straight path before coming to your next turning. [[Go left|9g]] [[Go right|9h]]

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> [[Go left|9i]] [[Go straight|9gg]]

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You and Amis encounter multiple dead ends and it feels as though you are going in circles. You come to a corner and you [[turn it|9i]]

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> You continue straight and you see a light at the end of the path. You are free! [[Run outside|10]]

<img src="Project/Images/Stone Wall .png" /> Dead end! [[Go back|9g]]

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Night .png" /> It is dark in the forest now. It has a more eery atmosphere as you continue on your journey. [[You hoped your quest would be over soon|10a]].

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin angry black.png" /> "You got lucky this time" the Goblin snarls. He runs off into the forest leaving you to [[continue on your journey|9dd]] <<audio "snarl" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You and Amis [[wander through the forest for hours|10]]. Any energy you gained from the delicious hog roast earlier on in the day had been depleted.

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Night .png" /> The constant walking, encounters with mythical creatures and elements has taken a toll on you. [[You are exhausted|10b]].

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Night .png" /> You are suddenly given a jolt of adrenalin when you hear a loud thunder clap. Before you know it it is [[raining heavily|10c]]. <<audio "storm" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Rain .png" /> "We have to find shelter" Amis says. You nod in agreement as both begin to pick up your pace, looking for somewhere to find shelter. You spot a [[hut|10d]] in the distance.

<img src="Project/Images/Hut night.png" /> You approach the hut. You make sure nobody is in before you [[enter|10e]]. <<audio "storm" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> As you enter you [[look around|10f]]. There wasn't much inside the hut and it wasn't obvious what sort of person might own it. <<audio "forest2" stop>> <<audio "storm2" volume 0.2 loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> "Look. I know who's hut this is." Amis says. You approach him. He is standing at the doorway to another room, [[staring at something|10g]].

<img src="Project/Images/Black cauldron.png" /> You stare at the cauldron in front of you. "This is the Witch's hut," he says, "[[you must be close to the end of your quest|11]]" <<audio "cauldron" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> Being in the Witch's hut and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, other than her cauldron made you begin to wonder. [[Was she as bad as Druidai made out?|11a]] <<audio "cauldron" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> The propaganda against the King and Druidai seemed false when it came from people who are very close to the Witch, such as the Goblin. [[However,|11b]]

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> thinking about the amount of people in the village squaee who were also against the two makes you question whether you are doing the right thing. Was Druidai lying to you? Was he using you to get the King and his powers back so they can continue to oppress the less wealthy? [[You have a decision to make|11c]]. <<audio "storm2" fadeout>>

Do you want to change your loyalties and take the side of the Witch and those who you met at the village square? Or do you want to trust Druidai and save the King and restore The Shrouded Realm to how it was before? [[Switch loyalties|sure1]] [[Stay loyal to Druidai|sure2]]

Are you sure? [[Yes|WITCH ENDING]] [[No|11c]]

Are you sure? [[Yes|WIZARD ENDING]] [[No|11c]]

You have decided to [[ditch your quest|witch1]] given to you by Druidai to restore his full powers and save the King.

You have decided to [[stay loyal to the King and Druidai|wizard1]]. You will fight to return the King to The Shrouded Realm and for Druidai's full powers to be returned to him

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> Amis does not say anything about your decision. It is not his quest. It has now morning and the rain has stopped. You both [[continue through the forest|wizard2]]. <<audio "forest3" loop play>> <<audio "footsteps" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You feel nervous and begin questioning your decision. But this is normal. [[It is too late to change your mind now|wizard3]].

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in forest.png" /> Druidai must have sensed you were close to the witch. You see him standing in a clearing in the forest and you approach him, noticing a number of other people you assumed had magical abilities coming through from the trees. They are [[ready for battle|wizard 4]] <<audio "footsteps" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in forest.png" /> Druidai gives you a nod as you approach him. He then nods towards a [[hut in the distance|wizard5]].

<img src="Project/Images/Hut in woods.png" /> "This is where they will be" Druidai says. Everybody forms a line in the forest in preparation. You [[approach the hut|wizard6]].

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> You knock on the door and are confronted with the witch. [[This is the first time you had seen her|wizard7]]. <<audio "knock" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "Well, well, well... [[Look who changed their mind|wizard8]]" She says. <<audio "knock" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "What makes you think I changed my mind?" You say, [[this time you were smirking|wizard9]].

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "You would not have knocked and made yourself known to me if you planned on defeating me" [[she retorts|wizard10]].

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "Think again." You draw her attention to the line of people in the clearing behind you. The Witch [[snarls as she stares at Druidai|wizard11]].

<img src="Project/Images/Witch outside Hut.png" /> You stand next to Druidai in the line as the Witch exits the hut with the rest of her army. They stand in a line opposite your side before the [[battle commences|wizard12]]. <<audio "horn" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Sword in Hand.png" /> The magical beings on each side draw their wands while you and a few others draw swords. [[The battle begins|wizard13]]. <<audio "horn" stop>> <<audio "drawsword" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Joust.png" /> <img src="Project/Images/Firework black.png" /> Everybody charges towards each other. The magical beings target each other and [[sparks fly as they do various spells|wizard14]]. <<audio "combat2" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Joust.png" /> You hold your sword out in front of you and [[begin battling those opposite you|wizard15]].

<img src="Project/Images/Final battle .png" /> The only sounds are of shouting and the [[clanging of swords against swords|wizard16]].

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle .png" /> [[Continue|wizard17]]

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle .png" /> You are faced against one of the Witch's comrades. They are pointing their wand at you. [[Fight|lose]] [[Change opponent|win]]

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle .png" /> You decide to show your bravery and stand your ground. You charge towards the magical being but [[you are no match against their powers|lose1]].

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle 2 .png" /> You quickly moved away from the magical person in front of you. You were sensible and this was rewarded with your survival. You [[plunge your sword|win1]] into the distracted person in front of you.

<img src="Project/Images/White.png" /> You are stunned by their spell and fall to the ground. You are temporarily blinded by a white light. It is debilitating and you [[lay there listening to the sounds of battle|lose2]].

<img src="Project/Images/White.png" /> [[...|lose3]]

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle 2 .png" /> Your vision is repaired by another spell, it is Druidai. You look around and see the majority of your side was on the ground injured. [[The Witch and her followers taking control|lose4]]. <<audio "combat2" fadeout>>

Your side lost the battle without you. You sigh in defeat and stand up, preparing for the [[aftermath|lose5]]. <<audio "combat2" fadeout>> <<audio "forest3" fadeout>> <<audio "intro2" loop play>>

The Witch did not allow the King to be returned to the Kingdom and his whereabouts still unknown. [[It has been 3 months since the battle was lost...|lose6]]

[[There were countless battles following this|lose7]]. There was a new King now and the Witch was his right hand, just as Druidai had been to the former King.

The negative things you heard about the King may have been true, but he was the lesser of two evils. [[The Shrouded Realm was on its way to total chaos and anarch|lose8]]

You stayed loyal to the quest and did everything you could but you were able to successfully complete it. However, The Shrouded Realm is still thankful for your bravery. You and Amis were still celebrated for it. [[The End]].

<img src="Project/Images/The End.png" /> Would you like to attempt the quest again? Restart the game to experience it again. Who knows what you may encounter another time around. <<audio "magic" fadeout>> <<audio "intro2" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle 2 .png" /> The battle [[continues for a while|win2]].

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Forest.png" /> A while later the Witch is the only one standing on the opposing side. She surrenders as you all close in on her. [[You won the battle|win3]]. <<audio "combat2" fadeout>> <<audio "forest3" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Forest.png" /> "You may have your King and powers back this time, but just know we will never give up. [[He is not worthy|win4]]" the Witch says.

<img src="Project/Images/King black.png" /> The Witch conjures the King and returns Druidai's full powers to him. [[You all celebrate|win5]].

<img src="Project/Images/King in kingdom.png" /> You all help the King get back to The Shrouded Realm and to his castle. Both him and Druidai thank you for your bravery and invite you and your new best friend, Amis, to stay in the Kingdom to continue defending them against the Witch. You are celebrated amongst the nobles in The Shrouded Realm as well as civilians who support the King's rule. [[The End]]. <<audio "intro2" loop play>>

[[You are now fighting against the two in the name of the witch|witch2]], the Goblin and the civilians who are against his reign.

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> Amis says nothing of your decision to change loyalties. It is not his quest. It is now morning and the rain has stopped. You both [[continue through the forest|witch3]]. <<audio "forest3" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Forest Day 2 .png" /> You feel nervous and begin questioning your decision, but [[it is too late to change your mind now|witch4]].

<img src="Project/Images/Hut in woods.png" /> You come across a [[hut in the woods|witch5]].

<img src="Project/Images/Hut in woods.png" /> "This must be where the witch is" Amis says. "Nobody comes this deep in the forest except those that live in it" he adds. You [[aproach the hut|witch6]].

<img src="Project/Images/Hut in woods.png" /> You hear voices as you get closer. You [[knock on the door|witch7]]. <<audio "knock" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> The Witch opens the door. This is the [[first time you have seen her since entering The Shrouded Realm|witch8]]. <<audio "knock" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "Well, well, well... look who changed their mind" she says. [[Ask how she knew|witch-9]] [[Simply nod|witch9]]

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Hut.png" /> "How did you know I changed my mind?" you ask. The witch opens the door wider and invites you in. "[[You would not have knocked and made yourself known if you still planned on defeating me|witch9]]."

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> You enter the hut and the Witch follows you inside, shutting the door. You are faced with a number of unfamiliar faces. Only one person was [[familiar|witch10]]. <<audio "forest3" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Goblin happy black.png" /> "I see you saw sense" he said. His voice and face still menacing and unnerving. You [[ignore him|witch11]].

<img src="Project/Images/Inside hut.png" /> Everybody sits in silence, obviously waiting for the inevitable battle. It feels like you have been waiting for hours when someone you do not know stands up to look out the window. "They're here" he says. [[You stand to look|witch12]].

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> You see Druidai in a clearing. He must have sensed the shift in the situation. Everybody heads [[outside|witch13]].

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> Everybody stands in a line as Druidai and a few members approach and form a line opposite you. Druidai has a look of disappointment when he looks at you. [[You betrayed him|witch14]]. <<audio "forest3" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> "[[Where is the King?|witch15]]" Druidai shouts towards the Witch who is standing next to you.

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Forest.png" /> The Witch cackles, drawing her want. Druidai does the same. "Your powers are weak. You don't stand a chance" she says. Everybody [[draws their weapons|witch16]] as the battle begins. <<audio "horn" play>> <<audio "drawsword" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Sword in Hand.png" /> <img src="Project/Images/Joust.png" /> Everybody charges towards each other. The magical beings target each other, shouting various spells. You and the other non-magical people [[battle those opposite you|witch17]]. <<audio "horn" stop>> <<audio "drawsword" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle .png" /> The only sounds are of shouting and the [[clanging of swords against swords|witch18]]. <<audio "combat" loop play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Final Battle 2 .png" /> After a while there are not many people left standing. You are faced with a [[dragon opposite you|witch19]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon Forest.png" /> [[Fight|win11]] [[Change opponent|lose11]] <<audio "growl" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon Forest.png" /> You decided to stay and fight against the dragon. Your bravery is rewarded with luck. You [[charge towards the dragon|win22]] and plunge the sword into its stomach. <<audio "growl" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon Forest.png" /> You show weakness as you try to avoid the dragon and face off against someone else. Your distraction from the battle [[creates an opportunity for you to be defeated|lose12]].

<img src="Project/Images/Dragon Forest.png" /> The dragon screeches and falls to the ground. [[You beat him|witch33]]. <<audio "growl" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Forest.png" /> You, Amis, the witch and the Goblin are the only ones who are left standing. [[Your side has won the battle|witch44]] thanks to you slaying the dragon. <<audio "combat" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Witch in Forest.png" /> "The King shall remain with us until somebody else worthier of the crown. And you, [[Druidai, will remain almost powerless forever|witch55]]" the Witch cackles. <<audio "witch" play>>

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest .png" /> You receive one more disappointed look from Druidai before him and the surviving members of his side [[retreat back into the forest|witch66]]. <<audio "witch" stop>>

Your side won the battle. [[The Witch didn't allow the King to be returned to the Kingdom|witch77]]. <<audio "intro2" loop play>>

A new King was put into power. [[There were countless battles following this|witch88]]. The Witch was his right hand, just as Druidai was to the former King. <<audio "forest3" fadeout>>

The negative things you heard about the former King may have been true, but he was the lesser of two evils. [[The Shrouded Realm was on its way to total chaos and anarchy|witch99]].

For the good of The Shrouded Realm... you should have stayed loyal to your quest. [[The End]]

<img src="Project/Images/Black.png" /> An arrow flies into your shoulder and you fall to the ground injured. You [[black out|lose13]]. <<audio "growl" stop>>

<img src="Project/Images/Black.png" /> You are blacked out for a while. When you finally wake up, [[the battle has been lost by your side|lose14]]. <<audio "combat" fadeout>>

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> You stand feeling defeated as you stand up, looking around. [[The other side celebrates as the Goblin storms off angrily|lose15]].

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> "You may have your King and powers back this time, but just know [[we will never give up|lose16]]" the Witch says.

<img src="Project/Images/King.png" /> The Witch [[conjures the King|lose17]] and he appears.

<img src="Project/Images/Wizard in Forest.png" /> "Your powers will still never be a match for me, Druidai" she adds as Druidai emits a slight glow as [[his powers are returned to him|lose18]].

The return of the King and Druidai's full powers restored brought [[The Shrouded Realm back to its usual state of peace|lose19]]. <<audio "intro2" loop play>>

Druidai gives you one last disappointed look as him, the King and their surviving companions [[retreat back into the forest|lose20]] towards the Kingdom.

The Witch and the Goblin disappear with their surviving comrades, [[leaving you alone in the now-dark forest|lose21]].

Over the next few years the Witch and the Goblin continued to terrorise The Shrouded Realm and you realised [[the King and Druidai were the good people the whole time|lose22]]. <<audio "forest3" fadeout>>

You were strong to trust the Witch and the Goblin and should have stayed loyal to your quest. [[The End]]
