Chapter 5 by raiodeouro7 raiodeouro7

down the river or stay in the cave?

Follow the river

You and Ceci run down the forest, and you are both very excited, after the moment you shared. You run through the tall grass and the beautiful Flowers along the riverside. After a few hours, you arrive at the small village, with a castle uphill, and notice there is a market square, full of people. You and Ceci approach one of the people, a woman with long black hair, and purple eyes.

Luke >' Excuse me, do you know how to get to the castle?´ You ask her.

The woman looks at you confused. 'Why would you want to go there? It's the most horrible place you can imagine.

You say "we are lost, someone took our clothes"

The woman looks at you confused, noticing your nakedness- 'Why would someone take your clothes?

You say "well I'm not sure, My Name is Luke, and she is Ceci, we woke up chained in a room"

'How strange, why would someone take them, I don't understand...' the woman says

You continue "we were kidnapped, and we need to understand what happened"

'I don't know why you would want to go there, but I will take you there,' The woman replies

You and Ceci follow the woman toward the castle. It takes almost the whole day, but at night you arrive at the gates. A large door made of wood with metal bars. The woman looks at you and says 'Follow me'. She opens the gates for you and Ceci. The three of you walk inside the castle. As soon as you arrive you realize how huge the castle is. You start walking through the halls, they are very beautiful, but very empty.

You say- "where is everyone?"

  • 'Well, they left long ago' She answers

You continue walking through the empty halls, there are paintings and statues, and everything seems to be very ancient and unused.

You say "Ceci... I have a bad feeling about this"

'I know, me too´´-Ceci says

You arrive at the throne room, it is huge, like the entire castle. The room is full of paintings, you can see the most beautiful women you have ever seen in your life. The woman approaches a throne, and sits down on it, in front of you and Ceci.

She speaks - 'There are many things you must learn about the old ways, the old gods, and the old magic. The first rule you must learn is that we are all bound to serve them, and the will of the gods.

You say "Uhmmm... We just wanted to know what happened, why we were trapped"

-' Well, the will of the gods is bound to the old ways, and the old ways are bound to the old gods, so the will of the gods is bound to us' She answers

'So...

You say "I’m not like where this is going. You took your hand to the sword"

'There is no escape, we are all bound to the old ways.- the woman chant

You say "what do you want from us?"

'That is for the gods to decide. The woman cast a spell and all the statues starts to move and advance toward you and Ceci

'Run' -Ceci says

You and Ceci start running down the hallways as fast as you can. You arrive at a big open courtyard, with a maze of hallways leading to the outside. You start running through the courtyard, the maze looks very confusing and shifts every moment. After a few seconds of running around the courtyard, you realize you are lost, there is no way to get out. you see a door fading behind a fountain.

´´You lets go through that door.´´- You take ceci by the hand

The door opens and you notice that there is another door on the other side. You and Ceci walk through the doorway. On the other side of the door, there is a dark tunnel. You and Ceci start walking down the tunnel, it is very dark, and you have no idea where you are going. After a few minutes, you arrive at the throne room again, but something is different. The walls are covered with murals, of men and women doing different things, from manual work to sex scenes. You look around the room and notice a painting that looks very similar to the one you were chained in.

You say 'that is the same painting we were chained to

Ceci says 'Yes, I think that woman is responsible, I didn't notice it before, but now it seems clear. '

You hear some noises, Ceci takes your hand and runs towards a door. Behind that door another tunnel. You continue walking through the tunnel. As you walk you notice that the tunnel is getting darker and darker until there is no light at all. After a few minutes of walking in the tunnel, you can't see a thing. some torches on the wall light up. You arrive at a large gate, made out of iron, and the gate is closed and is very heavy to move.

You say "do you have any idea, Ceci?"

'I don't know -Ceci says

You continue looking at the gate and the walls, and then you notice. The wall is made of bricks, and some of the bricks are very old, and some of them are falling apart.

You push some of the bricks. The wall falls apart, revealing an exit. You and Ceci walk through the wall and arrive in a small room, that is very dusty. There is a small table in the middle of the room, with some candles on it and a book. On the other side of the room a door

You read the book or go through the door?

More fun
