You trudge down a steep gravel path toward the playground.
The lighting isn't so good, but being the oh-so-cool cat you are, you can
see just fine. The playground looks deserted. The swings creek eerily as
a faint breeze blows.
To you this has all the making of a cheap B-rated
horror movie. Bring out the serial killers! Or not. Preferably not....
Oh no! What if Firefury was killed by a serial killer!? You meow and run
towards the playground to make sure your mistress' body isn't lying under
the slides.
"... I'm following a CAT." One shakes her head and
jogs after you, "Oh well, worked for Miaka."
You find no sign of Firefury at the playset. You
wander towards the stream with One, but the two of you are struck with
a sudden case of vertigo. The park and playground fade away before your
very eyes, and are replaced by rocky mountains.
Not sure if you're awake or dreaming, you pinch
yourself and look around. Jagged black peaks tower above you in all directions,
laced by thin clouds. You're in a deep green valley, and a small forest
stretches out to your left. There's no trace of the park you were previously
at, and One is as confused as you are.
You shake your head. It's never good when a human
is confused. Looks like it's up to you to take charge!
What will you do?
Go into the forest.
Go into the mountains.
