You turn tail and run toward the underground spring-MT\nYou give your mother a big smile and slip into the water. The Water Spirit glides toward you. When the Bear rushes to the side, the Water Spirit zaps the paw of the Bear who lets out a "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and removes his paw from the water. As the Water Spirit guides you through the underground spring, you collect five arrowheads and save them. Once he releases you to the wide-open world, the arrowheads give you power for later in the game.\n\n<html><img src=http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb389/suzziebell1/AAone/Aeeowheads_zpscc79e4ed.jpg /></html>\n\n\n You lay on the ground, heaving air into your lungs.

Enter the story-LR\n In a time, and in a land where animals’ talk and fairies ruled, there lived an Indian woman who went for a walk. A Big Grizzly Bear saw Dancing-Girl all alone, unprotected, walking through the woods and stopped her. \n\n\n<html><img src=http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb389/suzziebell1/AAone/Slide2_zps3ec369a2.jpg /></html>\n\n “Dancing-Girl, why are you out here all alone? Where is your protector!” \n “I am not afraid. I grew up here. These woods are my home, Mr. Grizzly Bear.”\n “As you are not afraid, you will come with me to my den and dance for me.” And so it passed that Dancing-Girl and her infant son went to live with Mr. Grizzly and his sons. The years passed and the baby grew up and Dancing-Girl got older. She began to experience the health issues that many experience and she found that dancing became harder for her to do. Mr. Grizzly Bear began to lose patience with her and beat her if she did not move fast enough. When the young boy wanted to go out into the world, the Grizzlies sons stood in his way. \n\n\n[[Meet Ardent]]

You jump up, ready to fight the Bear-MT\n\nYou raise your fists and charge at the Bear.\nYour mother screams. “No, Ardent, no!”\nThe Bear hauls off and smacks you again, sending you flying\nacross the den. You slam into the cave wall, stunned.\n“Run, Ardent, run!” Your mother grabs the Bear’s arm to stop\nhim from going after you. Distracted, he turns on her, growling\nferociously.\n“Run, Ardent! Go!”\nYou give your mother a big smile and slip into the water.\n\n[[You turn tail and run toward the underground spring-MT]]\n
Stand Your Ground \n You stand your ground and glare at the Water Spirit. “You do not frighten me. I will decide the best way to help my mother. What plan do you have to aid me?” \n “Bring me your mother that we may forge a workable plan.” You do as he says and bring your mother over. \n “Great Dancing Girl, I have watched from this pond, a butterfly fluttering about. I have enjoyed your movements. I have heard your cry. I am here to help you.” \n “What can you do, oh Great Water Spirit?” \n “I will take your son out into the world and guide him until he is strong and wise. He will return and take you from here to return to your own kind.” \n “As you say, Water Spirit, it shall be done.” With a tear, she turns to you and hugs you close. “You must go with the Water Spirit and learn all that you can. I will be fine until your return.” You hug your mother back and hear the Big Grizzly return.\n You rush the bear. He stops, completely shocked by your sudden change. You begin to hit him. The Big Black Bear gives you a swipe and you go tumbling back into the cave. The force of the shove causes the entire cave to shake. You hit the wall and fall into the pond. The Water Sprite encircles your body and propels you down, down, down into the lower regions of the earth. The growl from the Big Grizzly Bear grows faint. You hear your mother scream. The scream is cut short, as you get further away from her. The Water Sprite carries you out of the cave and gently drops you on land. \n\n\n<html><img src=http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb389/suzziebell1/AAone/ArdentandMother_zps351726f8.jpg /></html>\n\n\n[[You Jump up, fists ready]]\n[[You tuck tail and run-EG]] \n\n

You lean over the spring to get closer to the strange face-MT\n\nThe gurgling becomes a small giggle. You look into the spring and you hear words spring up from the being. He smiles and asks you why you do not free your mother from the Big Grizzly Bear.\n\n “I am but a small boy, what can I do?” The Water Sprite rolls his eyes and looks at you. \n “You can go out into the world and learn how to fight for your mother.” \n “How do I get out? The Big Grizzly Bear has his cub boys helping him?” \n “Listen to me. If you are determined to escape, just follow me. I will help you get out into the world. Jump into the pond and I will protect you.” \n When the Big Grizzly Bear returns he looks at your mother and demands that she dance for him. She gathers her strength and moves to obey. You feel a righteous anger build up inside you. The next day you return to the pond and stare into the pond. \n\n You stare at the being that appears like a glowing mass. You plop down and continue to stare. “Well, cat got your tongue, boy?” \n You swallow a few times and glance around the cave. What would his mother think? “I … I … just don't know what to say.” \n “Well, you could start by answering my question. Do you think your mother enjoys the beating she gets from the Big Grizzly Bear? Do you enjoy being fed only if the Big Grizzly Bear says you can?” \n You sit on the side of the pool and ponder the words of the Water Sprite. You take a moment. “I still do not know what to say. How can I change anything?” \n “When you are ready, you will know what to do. How do you think I got here?” \n “I do not know. How did you get here?” \n “I followed the cries of your mother. I have watched from the pond. I have pondered how best to help you both.” \n “What can you do? You are nothing except water.” The water begins to boil, rush and burn.\n\n<html><img src=http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb389/suzziebell1/AAone/WaterSprite_zps9ea21e03.jpg /></html>\n\n\n[[Move Away]] \n \n[[Stand Your Ground]] \n

Move Away \n You move away, fear showing in your eyes. For the first time you take the Water Spirit seriously. You watch while the water settles down to a gurgle and you consider all you have heard. \n You go to your mother and whisper, “Mother, I must speak to you.” \n She moves closer to you. “Yes, what is it my Little WhipperSnapper?” \n “Mother, I have a chance to save you. This is my new friend, The Water Spirit.” \n Your mother peers into the pond and gives a little gasp. “Oh, how do you do?” \n “I am good. I heard your cries and have come to help you escape. Do you wish my help?” \n “Oh yes, my Water Friend. What must we do?” \n “You must let your son leave your side and go out into the world to grow strong and wise. Once that day comes, he will return to rescue you. Will you do it?” \n “Yes, I will allow it. Go, my Ardent One, and become strong and wise.” \n At this you hear the Big Grizzly return and demand that your mother dance for him. You are still feeling the connection to the water spirit so you yell at the Grizzly. He stands there, huge and tall, stunned by your words. \n "Get away from my mother!" \n His nose flares and he halls off and smacks you through the den. \n\n[[You jump up, ready to fight the Bear-MT]]\n
You Jump up, fists ready \n You jump up, fists balled, ready to take on your next challenge. You look directly at the waters edge and see the Water Spirit smile at you. “You did very well, my young one. I have many quests and tasks for you to complete before you return to your mother.

Water Sprite\n\n You are a twelve-year-old Indian boy. You live in a cave with your mother, and four huge Grizzly bears. You have never seen the sunlight or felt the wind rustle your hair. You know nothing of the outside world. One day you are playing skip-the-rock by the underground water spring, when you see a strange face appear up at you. \n \n\n<html><img src=http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb389/suzziebell1/AAone/Slide4_zps7913ab91.jpg /></html>\n\n[[You run away, frightened-MT]]\n[[You lean over the spring to get closer to the strange face-MT]]\n\n

Once you find the object, return to me and I will reward you.”\n\nhttp://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=066d601f2c24 \n\nWhen you return, you are lugging the canoe over your head.

\nYou choose to search for the hidden item. You finish the jigsaw puzzle and head back, the sling shot in hand. You go back to the Water Sprite with a confused look on your face. You show it to the Water Sprite and snap yourself with the sling.\n“Ouch! How do I use this? What good does it do me?”\n“You take the handle side, hold it in your hand, fill the sling with a rock, aim and fire. Once you master this, you will be able to fight for your mother.

You run away, frightened-MT\nIf you run away, close to your mother’s side. The Grizzly Bear bullies you and your mother. You decide that the strange face in the spring isn’t as scary as the Bear, so the next day you return. You sit beside the underground water spring waiting for the strange face to reappear. Suddenly, the water starts to bubble.\n\n[[You lean over the spring to get closer to the strange face-MT]]\n
You Face the Grizzly\n You return to the den, slingshot in tow and butterflies in your stomach. You call out to the Grizzly family and as soon as they show up you begin to pelt them with rocks. You pelt them with rocks as quickly as you can, one after another, until you knock them out. {Click here to replenish the rocks} \n\nhttp://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=3fc49b96b837 \n\nYou win another reward.
