Making a quick decision you pick the...

Left Gate. (The Slums).

You head more towards the gate on your left, you know well that they say most people always choose the path to the left when presented a choice, but ignoring the cliché nature of your decision you really have no idea about the lands before you, and both entrances look the same from this distance. So you continue onwards frustrated by your lack of knowledge. Continuing on the quiet and emptiness of the nearby fields is enough to cause you to panic, is there some strange monster lurking nearby? Or are you being watched? With countless ifs floating through your mind you draw closer and closer to the left gate of the city before you.

As you get closer you notice the distant and distinct silhouette of guards watching the gate. Hope flares in your chest as you continue towards the gate. Maybe, just maybe, those guards will be your salvation. As you approach you find the city looks far more run down than you had expected, with the buildings past the gate looking cheap and worn down. You continue your slow approach and you begin to question whether this is the place you want to be. But before you can make a solid decision the guards notice you and start approaching. At this point, they would reach you quickly even if you turned to run. You stand, making sure they can see you clearly. Something about your action causes the guards to pause their approach.

The guards call out to you and your exhaustion finally catches up, causing you to pass out, collapsing where you stand.

Where do you wake up?
