It was the first day of the spring festival and all the people in the smal city of Vran were there to celebrate.
You and your younger brother, Aren, left the family's Inn earlier to [[go there|About you]].
You love the [[Wirbell'fee|Wirbell'fee]] Bloom Festival. It`s full of music, dance and foods that are maked only on this five days.
Once you and your brother got there, your uncle found his drunk friends and disapeared. You would just see him again when was time to [[go back home|On the Inn]].
You are chatting with your brother and your uncle is singing an innaproppriate song when you get home. When you open the door, your mother is laying on the floor.
You,
[[Run until the place she is|Idillia`s calling]]
[[Stand paralyzed at the door|Uncle`s calling]]
Fortunatly, the priest is not drunk. You send Aren back to his room.
- Sadly, Miss Helga is with the Haswins' fever. It's a really fast disease and I don`t have the necessary ingredients to make a potion for her.
- What are this ingredients? - you say.
- Well, I need horseradish and Mih leaves. But these ones I can easily get in a near village.But we also need [[Wilber'fee flowers|React]].
- Mom! Mom! - You and your brother scream while running until the place she is.
When you see she is still breathing, you say to your uncle:
- Uncle Hector go call the [[priest|diagnostic]], fast!
Your brother went running in your mother's direction calling for her.
- [[Go find the priest, now!->diagnostic]] - Your uncle ordered.
- B-but, it's the first day of bloom already... - you answer
- Yes, but with a horse you can get there in two and a half days. - Says the priest.
- We don't even have money to keep this Inn, we can't afford byuing a horse! - Your uncle answers, and he looks worried, or impatient, it`s hard to say.
- [[I go.|What they decided]] - You answer, standing up.
- Hector - Your mother says - please don`t let her go. I will be okay, you don't need to worry.
- And do you think that is that easy to get the flowers? Like in any other tree? - Your uncle look at you - Even if Wirbell'fee is in full bloom, it will allow to take them just the ones who deserve it. - He looks afflicted.
- Your family is right. And is not safe for a girl your age to go there alone. - Says the priest.
- [[I can't let my mother die!|not this time]] - You scream at them, they don't understand it? You know it's dangerous but you have to save your mother.
- You've heard your mother, you can't go. - Your uncle says, but you see the tears on his eyes.
- Hector... - your mother suplicated.
- I will go - You insist.
- No! - He comes in your direction and drags you to your room. You are throwed on your bed.
- You will stay here and me too! I can't let you three by yourselves. - Uncle Hector says while closing the door. Your are [[locked on your room|Locked]].
Aren goes to your bed and you tell him. You both cry together until sleep.
You wake up in the middle of the night. Look at your room, there is the two beds, a [[chest|chest]], a [[window|window]] and the locked [[door|door]].
(set: $necklace to 1)
You open the chest. Inside there you find your mom's necklace, you've got it without her knowing to go to the festival, but didn't had courage to use it.
Holding it, you go back to [[sleep -> The following day]]
(set: $necklace to 0)
You look at the window and see it's not locked. That's your chance to go!
You get some things from your room, and enter in the kitchen by the other window to get food. That's it, time to [[go|ikou]]!
(set: $necklace is 0)
It`s still locked. You don't know what to do and ends up [[sleeping again| The following day]].
You wake up.
There is no one in your room.
The door is open.
It's your time to [[go and run.|aren also wanna go]]
You don't know very well the outside of your village, you haven't been out many times. But you know the direction to go, and that you need to be [[fast|Surprise]].
You had stopped to eat when you hear some noises behind you.
"Godess, how could I forget to bring something to defend myself? I`m so stupid!"
You start to turn slowly saying to yourself there is nothing there. But There [[is|Oh, you]].
- Aren, what are you doing here?
- I wanted to go with you. I wanna help to save mom. - he says.
- I can`t believe it. Since I don't have time to send you back home, you can go. But is better to be fast. - You answer him. When you finish eating both return to the journey.
[[4 days left|3 days left]]
On the following day, you two get up with the sun. There is no time to waste.
You arrive in a big lake, and have to go around it. Up there is an Suspended Island, home of the [[priesterins|Priesterins]]. They are rare to see and it`s sad that you don't have time to appreciate its beauty.
At the south of the lake is a forest. [[Go in|in the forest]].
Priesterins are the Godess priestesses. The once were humam but after their training develop the most incredible magical habilities.
Their male counterpart once rebeled against the godess. They were transformed into animal and sendend out of the Suspended Islands in the skies.
[[Return to the story ->3 days left]]
- Did your heard that? - Your brother asks.
- It's nothing. You are hearing things since we entered here, Aren. - But then you [[hear|wolf]].
You look around. Can't see it yet, but know there is something there.
You see your brother taking something out of his bag. It's your uncle's old hunting knife.
You say
[[- Are you crazy? Give me this! | Oh-oh]]
[[- What are you doing with this knife? It's dangerous!|to go alone take this]]
(set: $noknife to 0)
You take the knife away of your brother's hands. In the same second, you se a creature on his right side. It's a wolf.
It starts to run toward Aren and he is too scared to run. You have to do something.
With the knife in your hands, you run in the wolfs direction, prepared to attack.
But then, an arrow just passed the wolf's head.
There is a man with a bow not that far for you. And now HE is coming in [[your direction.->Boo]]
(set: $noknife to 1)
It's a wolf. And is running in your direction.
You just think about running and barely see that an arrow just passed the wolf's head.
There is a man with a bow not that far for you. And now HE is coming in [[your direction.|Boo]]
The man is called Forrester, and is a friend of your uncle.
He wants to send both back home.
(if: $noknife is 1)[He takes the knife from your brother and forces you to [[follow him|Bad end]].]
(if: $noknife is 0)[But you are smarter and when he falls asleep in that night, you get your things [[and run|tsudzuku]]]
Forrester suceed at taking you and Aren back home. Your uncle and mother were really worried, and your mother is getting worse everyday that passes.
Now there is nothing more you can't do, it's the last day of bloom already. Just wait and hpe for a miracle.
[[THE END|THE END]]
- WooHoo! We did it, we ran away from him! - Aren screams almost too loud.- Ow, ow, ow.
- What happenned?
- I think I hurt my foot. - He answers.
- At a time like this? Don't you know that this is an emergency? If we don't save mom it's your fault! - You say it angry, but still try to fix his foot the best way you can.
And now you have to walk slower. And that's not good.

Hello!
This game was a task from my Directed research class and ended up being fun to make, actually.
The story you see here is based on a short story I wrote, by the same title for an antology, and if you got interested on this universe you can read it here:
https://www.wattpad.com/155924536-contos-de-um-bardo-viajante-destino-em-uma-flor
Sadly it's just in portuguese. But if you can read it, Enjoy!
Everything was going right but then you realize that someone is behind you.
It's Aren.
And he wants to go with you.
- You can go if you are fast and get out of the house quietly with me. - You say. You are too good to this kid.
[[4 days left|4 days left]]
You don't know very well the outside of your village, you haven't been out many times. But you know the direction to go, and that you need to be [[fast ->3 days left]].
It is the last day. You and Arren just slept the necessary to don't fall in the road. Keep going.
(if: $necklace is 1)[ It's almost evening but now you are finally close. You can even see the flowers!
But then a [[figure|its her]] materialized in front of you]
(if: $necklace is 0)[- Sister, had your ever saw a green cat?
- No, because it doesn't exists.
- And one with silvered eyes? I think I saw one new that big rock.
- You are just making things up. [[Let's go|finnaly]].]
It is almost evening but now you are finally close. There is just some more minutes. And the flowers are still there!
One hour later you are in front of the Big Tree.But there is no more flowers. Not even a petal.
It looks like you don't [[deserve it|Almost]].
You loose all your hope. You and Aren start making the way back home crying and blaming yourselves for not being fast or good enough.
Although you know is not, you feel that your mother will die because of you.
In this hopeless way back, you go sleep at the same place that the [[night before|Katzen]].
- Are you sure that green cats don't exist? - Aren asks.
- You again with this story? Where are you seeing it?
- It went right behind that big rock.
You go there check it. And what you see just takes your breath away.
There IS an green cat, is a [[Katzen| katzen mou ichidou]], and at its side [[five blue flowers]] lay in the ground.
You take the flowers, bow for the green cat and go running to tell your brother the news.
You can save your mother! [[Go home now ->THE END]]!
The ancients say that the Katzens are a feline race who came from the skies and that carry magic in themselves.
The Katzens have an atypical fur color and vibrant shiny eyes.
[[Return to the story|Katzen]]
It was a woman in a blue dress, she has an wavy bronw hair and blue eyes. And says:
- You can't continue with this mission. Its against the godess will.
- But... We are just trying to help our mother. - You answer.
- I know about your intentions. But you have another destiny.
- [[What??]] - You say.
- You are destined to be one of us. And now is the time for me to take you to the Suspended Islands.
- But I need to save my mother! - You argue.
- Your mother will be saved, but not by you. Aren, take this four flowers and go home. The other priesterins will make sure you will be safe.
You don't even have the time to say goodbye. In the next second you are flying to the Suspended Islands to start your training as a priesterin. That's your destiny, you have [[no choice ->THE END]].
A giant tree right the middle of the reign. It is said that this tree is magic and it's flowers petals can be used in many kinds of potions.
