(set: $name to (prompt: "Your name is:", "summoner")) (set: $feather to 0) (set: $crystal to 0) Hello $name Beware! You will enter an unknown world full of dangers and may find some wonderous secrets on your way. Choose your path wisely. There is no turning back. (text-colour:#fa5252)[ [[start adventure]] ]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You suddenly wake up from a bird's melody, bright sunlight blinds your view and a fresh sea breeze of salt fills your lungs. You're alone and find yourself on a hill in an unknown world without modern civilization. In front of you there is a crossing with two paths. You instantly feel an urge to discover more of this wonderous place. Which path do you follow? The right path leads downwards to a narrow dark entrance between two big stony hills. Your curiosity wins and draws you west following the wind even though the shadows keep growing as you [[enter the dark valley->Obsidian valley]]. The left path leads to an open field of grass, while the sun rises over the hills in the east. Your feeling draws you to the warm light of the day to the [[Golden Lands]]. You see a big forest in front of you. A feeling draws you away from the main paths and straight south [[into the woods]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] The river, once dried beneath your feet, emerges, flowing from a south-eastern Mountain passage. A small sailboat sits, tied to a long-forgotten dock at the water’s edge. But, thunder rolls across the sky to the west – a storm is coming. [[Take the boat|take boat]] – you head southwest down the river. [[Turn to the mountain|mountainpath]] – follow the river upward to the mountain pass.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Golden fields stretch across the horizon, with wildflowers grazing your fingertips as you walk. Despite the mid-afternoon sun beginning its ritual of slumber, the sky is clear and bright, with no clouds in sight. As you travel, winding around the tight corners and down the massive hills, you see [[the pathway]] before you begin to settle.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] The gentle current of the river grows stronger, leading you further south as the storm clouds become darker than before. The wind whips at your sails, your boat staying the course despite its new haste. As the rain begins to fall, the [[ocean]] comes into view, with the river opening like jaws to its merciless waters.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] [[You follow the black crane]] further as it flies to a mountain path.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] //As I’m standing on my own I hear my voice trembling It echoes all alone Through the midnight air I’ll make it till dawn// [[finish adventure]] TWILY <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/ae2311_76502504719e4426a8df67cb5ab69577.mp3"controls>

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You make your way up the mountain. Though the storm rumbles below, you can feel the rain coming toward you. Each step in the downpour makes you shiver, the cold worsening as you carry on. But, beyond the cloud cover, a Black Crane flies, its beauty both mesmerizing and mysterious. [[You follow the black crane]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Shadows surround you as you traverse the vast horizon. The path beneath you turns to cracked earth – a dried riverbed. Despite being mid-day, no sunlight touches this place. A vast, expanding mist covers the ceilings above you like an ashen veil, drenching your journey in silence. Hours pass, and the mist begins to retreat, revealing the [[end of the valley|end]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] The wind picks up, and you speed faster down river. The storm rumbles, shaking the sky as rain pours down. Now in open water with land quickly leaving your gaze, clouds before you begin to circle, with the waves of a crashing sea pulling you further into the unknown. What do you do? You choose [[flight|jump into water]], abandoning ship as you jump in the water to swim back to shore. You choose [[fight|stay in the boat]], remaining in your boat as the tides grow and you fear you may drown.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] There is no escape. The sails tug you into the eye of the storm, taking you further from shore and safety. As your boat and sails are battered, a dark opening on the ocean surface makes you tremble with fear. Without warning, you find yourself beyond help, facing the dreaded [[CYCLONE]] alone.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Frigid waters quickly hit your skin as you fight to reach the shore. The current is too strong, pulling you further into the unknown. As you fight to stay above the waves, the tide overtakes you, plunging you into its depths. As you fight to take in air, darkness settles into your gaze and the [[Riptide]] takes command of your fate.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Leading you further up the mountain, the crane soars above. As you get closer to its beautiful wingspan, it quickly takes off before you are within reach. The mountain pass becomes more dangerous, with rain turning to snow, causing your steps to slow. You choose to seek shelter, knowing you’ll need at least that to survive this [[journey]]. [[🪶|🪶black]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You've reached the end of the ILLUMI adventure. Thank you $name for playing our little adventure game! - ILLUMISHADE [[restart adventure->wake up]] Preorder our new album Another Side of You out on February 16th.

(set:$feather to ($feather+1)) (goto:"You follow the black crane II")

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] (alert:"You have found a black feather from the black crane. There are two more feathers hidden somewhere. Can you find them all?") Leading you further up the mountain, the crane soars above. As you get closer to its beautiful wingspan, it quickly takes off before you are within reach. The mountain pass becomes more dangerous, with rain turning to snow, causing your steps to slow. You choose to seek shelter, knowing you’ll need at least that to survive this [[journey]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Rounding the last corner of gold and sunshine, you see a bridge that crosses the river to your right, leading to a crystalized path with a stunning tree spanning just beyond. To the left, the pathway becomes dotted with stone, carefully laid out as it guides you into a towering forest. CHOOSE: Go left, crossing the bridge and following the river down the [[crystal path]]. Go right, taking the stone steps [[into the forest]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You cross the bridge, admiring the dancing light from the crystals. The dirt path is now glistening like glass, reflecting rainbows as you traverse its smooth form. [[You walk along the river|crystal river]], noting its calm waters as it flows along, just as the path before you begins to grow silent. Still, the view of the large tree is becoming clearer and your eyes grow wide at its brilliance.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Emerging at a clearing, a large lake sits at the forest’s center with an array of wildlife sipping the cool waters from its shoreline. You step closer, admiring a small waterfall that breaks out from the trees, only to see a white Crane sitting at its base. The Crane takes one look at you before flying off, heading to the hill you’d witnessed earlier. Do you: [[Follow the white crane to the hill.|path to the hill]] [[Follow the waterfall into the forest, taking its stone steps towards the crystal path.|crystal path]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You follow the crane, continuing down the stone path through the forest until you emerge from the tree-line. A storm has crossed the sky, with heavy rainfall now beating down upon you. You fight the heavy rain, determined to follow the Crane and the path before you. As you struggle to keep a clear view, the trip to the hilltop is difficult and almost too much to bear. You look back to see a set of eyes peering at you from the forest, curious to your choice. Do you: [[Turn back to the forest|Follow the black cat]], following the strange set of eyes that had watched you leave. [[Continue to press on|the forest hill]], knowing the destination will be worth it. (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[[[🪶|🪶white]]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You arrive at the top of the hill, with the rain finally turning to a light mist in a whirl of eerie wind and cloud. As you admire the view, you’re left shocked as the world below you seems to have been soaked [[In The Darkness]] of shadow and storm.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] As all sound beyond that of the river’s stream begins to fade, your curiosity catches you glimpsing toward the forest over your shoulder. Do you: [[Continue down the crystal path|crystal lake]], embracing the silent beauty. Take the small stone steps across the river, and [[into the forest|forest]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Loneliness begins to settle in as you notice not only the pathway is crystalized but as are the mountains and trees that now surround you. There is no call of birds, nor buzz of insects flying by. The wind has stopped, and the river beside you is fading away. The tree is within reach, just over the small hill you now step upon. As you reach the summit, your eyes take in the view below. A crystal tree stands, towering above the emptiness of a dried lake at its base where its roots have grown deeper than you can imagine. As you step forward, you begin to wonder if this beauty was all a deception. A [[Fairytale]] gone wrong. (align:"=><=")[ [[💎]] ]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] While you make your way into the wilderness of the jungle you suddenly hear flapping of wings over your head and see a white crane landing on a branch a few feet above you. The crane stares at you, caws and flies off again deeper into the forest. You [[follow the white crane.|path to the hill]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] A cool breeze touches your cheek as you walk the valley before you. A storm seems to be moving inward but that doesn’t seem to alter your mood. You’re hoping for adventure and nothing will change your mind. You hum to yourself, enjoying the sound of songbirds and bugs as the flutter by, but the sound of one bird catches your attention. [[You enter the big forest]]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You follow its beautiful song, walking down into a clearing where a lake stretches out before you. A small, forgotten boardwalk, spans its surface and on its shoreline sits two cranes, one white and one black, perched upon a fallen log. They stretch their wings when they spot you, one flying to the east and the other to the west. Do you: [[Follow the black crane|black crane]] – it's headed to the mountains. [[Follow the bird’s song]] – its sound the cause of your adventure. [[Follow the white crane|white crane]] – it soars low, flying into the forest.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You follow the bird’s melody, as it leads you across the boardwalk and towards a [[small meadow]]. A variety of trees line its entrance, with the flicker of fireflies beginning to illuminate their shadows as the sun begins to set.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] [[You follow the white crane|path to the hill]] further through the jungle.

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] As you approach, a large black cat crosses your path, darting left toward the mountains as rain begins to fall. Still, the bird’s song continues, and its voice echoes out before you. Still, dancing fireflies cross your sight, their glow bouncing into the forest to your right, willing to light the way. How do you proceed: [[Continue to follow the bird’s song]], as you’d love to sing with it. [[Follow the black cat]], as superstition is not to be ignored. [[Follow the dance of the fireflies|fireflies]], their glow is too tempting to resist!

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You follow the Black Cat into the darkness and unknown. Trying to find your bearings, you come to a dead end, facing down the massive animal as its fangs glisten. [[finish adventure]]

You can still hear the buzzing and melody of the bird behind you. [[Go back|Continue to follow the bird’s song]].

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] You can hear the buzzing grow louder as you enter the meadow opening, with a variety of birds stretching their wings, soaring from tree to tree in hopes of serenading you. You tune in to each of their sounds, but none are the bird you seek. Finally, you see the flutter of quick wings sputtering and pausing in the air as if to float. You hear the gentle tone once more and [[follow the hummingbird’s flight forward.]] (align:"=><=")[ [[🪶|🪶brown]] ]

(if:$feather>0)[🪶=$feather] (if:$crystal>0)[💎=$crystal] Before you sits a nest in a low-hanging branch, and as you look upon the beautiful birds that seem to smile at you, the song of the [[Hummingbird]] starts up once again.

As you hold your arm above your head, trying to keep a clear view, the trip to the hilltop is difficult and almost too much to bear. You look back to see a set of eyes peering at you from the forest, almost curious to your choice.

        The swaying of the train car sailing down the tracks soothes you. Settling into your seat, you put your headphones on and close your eyes. Carried away by the music, slumber soon overtakes you... [[wake up]]
