CYOA Introduction
This CYOA is designed to allow everyone from different time zones to play along. Each day, I will post the prompt and the options you have to choose from. Each player will only respond to the prompt under their name. You will have 24 hours from my post to post your reply. Have some fun and role play a response. We’re not judging responses. We’d just like to see more than, “I choose B”.
Each day, I will post the results of your choices and post a new prompt with new options to choose from. Please read carefully. Some prompts may require you to roll a dice. If you use the wrong dice, do not delete your post. Please just repost your response using the correct dice. Only respond to the prompt under your name. You have at least 24 hours to post, there's no need to rush.
You can follow this adventure as an Adahy, a Di’Taki, a human companion, or a familiar. If you don't have one of these, you can make one up to play along. Once the first prompt is posted, anyone can join in. When the second prompt is posted, no one else may join in. Since you will have 24 hours to reply, there should be no need for proxies.
Just remember... The obvious path might not always be the right one. edit: To roll dice, pick the action, then either click in the text box or preview your post to get the dice type and number to show up.WINNERS

Day 1 Prompt:
You awake before just before dawn. The sun has yet to crest the horizon, but it's light is spreading through the woods. A small glow of light dances among trees just outside your burrow. Your curiosity is stronger than your desire to stay in your warm bed.
You reluctantly leave your warm hollow and venture out into the brisk morning. The dancing light disappears into a dark growth of trees. The trees are so close together that the morning light hasn't yet to penetrate their midst. A loud rumbling reminds you that missed last evening's meal.
Do you follow the dancing light into the dark copse of trees or do you go in search of breakfast?
Please roll one 100-sided dice with your response.
You have until the next prompt is posted to post your response.

Black Wood clenched his eyes shut to the cold morning win. He should be back asleep but alas, he chose to awake in the pursuit of a light. Which could have just been his eyes for all he knows. Black Wood let out a hefty sigh.
Now it seems as if the light has gone farther into the woods- and away from his home and his much desired morning meal. The sky was still dark and Black Wood could barely see anything except for the faint traces of the mysterious glowing light. To look for food, or to act stupidly and chase the most likely dangerous trap. Black Wood let out another heavy sigh. "It's not like I'm going to find anything to eat here."
With one step forward he followed the dancing lights.

Coiled up in a clump of grass, Heliosyne was sleeping comfortably when the glow appeared. She roused immediately - though comfortable, she was a light sleeper. Her eyes snapped to the glow, and unwittingly her claws carried her forward, slowly at first, then faster and faster until she was sprinting into the dark forest, chasing the light as though she were a child again.
The gnawing hunger in her stomach was unimportant to her. She was used to going hungry.

Mairim blinked her sleepy eyes again. Was she seeing things? Or was that an unusually bright group of lights dancing around? The young female tipped her dark blue head side to side and rolled over to get up. Standing upright quickly, Mairim wobbled and started after the light. It dodged deeper into the darkness and she hesitated.
Her weariness wasn't for nothing. The young one felt uneasy on her feet, light-headed from not eating for so long. She sighed, sadly watching the light as she whined to herself about missing out on the adventure. It would be wise to eat a bite of something as her stomach would not stop complaining. But maybe, if she followed just a little distance... Mairim watched longingly as the last trail of the glowing lights drifted out.
Or maybe I'll find something even better. Mairim trudged off to find breakfast.

Hu'naada cracked one great eye toward the horizon as she awoke, twisting and winding against the stone that served as her bed to get at a crawling itch deep down her spine, to shake dirt from her limbs. At first, she assumed it to be morning; it had to be morning, after all, as there were lights dancing around the edges of her vision, leaving her squinting and blinking her eyes closed again almost immediately. But then it clicked. That was not the orange-gold face of the sun peeping over the edge of the world, but instead was something new and fresh, something that made her open her eyes again to stare toward the glimmer of ... what was that?
Her stomach groaned almost immediately in protest, turning over, and she tipped her head to whine just a little at the sensation as she twisted gracefully up onto her feet. Hunger. Hunger and lights.
She didn't feel a need to choose one over the other. After all, those lights could be food, could be something fresh and new and worth trying. So she shimmied down off her stone and took off through the underbrush toward them.

Glossy, dark feathers ruffling, front limbs reaching as far as Rreown's back would allow, the young Adahy eagerly stirred and stretched from within the soft piles of moss that padded his den. Lips curled with a whine, sleek body elongated to relieve cramped muscles from a nice, long sleep.
Something faint caught his eyes, bright and small, distant but nothing like the sun or its morning tendrils snaking through the canopy. No, it was just a flash, brief and unexpected, fading into the undergrowth as if a cloud had passed above the trees.
Nostrils flared and Rreown cocked his head, skittering lithely over the burls and knobby knees of his tree-root burrow. He sniffed. Nothing. He listened. Nothing … well, almost nothing. His concentration was broken by the snarl of his own stomach.
With a snort, unable to resist his curiosity, he leapt off his perch after the glimmer.
He could always find a nibble or two along the way, after all.

Mairim trudged through the forest undergrowth when a flicker of movement in a pile of leaves caught her eye. Carefully moving closer, she spied two large brown-tipped black feathers fluttering in the morning breeze. The demise of an unfortunate bird would certainly satisfy her complaining stomach. Brushing back the leaves, Mairim discovered that the large feathers belonged to a brown Adahy egg. While thinking about how to crack this egg without ending up with yolk on her pretty hide, Mairim realized that she'd found an Adahy egg that needs to be cared for, not eaten.

The morning sun is beginning to filter through the dark copse of trees. Shafts of sunlight chase the darkness away enough for you to see where you're going. You can see the dancing glow bobbing in and out of the rays as if enticing you further.
You enter the tunnel of trees, despite a few second thoughts about your impulsive decision to go following some strange light.
The light darts behind a tree and when you reach the tree you can no longer find the dancing light bobbing around anywhere. Looking behind you, you can still see the entrance where the sun has awakened the day.
Do you venture further down the path even though you can no longer see the dancing light?
Or do you give up this foolish idea and go back the way you came and go in search of something sensible, like breakfast?
Please roll one 100-sided dice with your response.
You have until the next prompt to post your response (at least 24 hours from this post).

I continue down the dark path.
Heliosyne, unperturbed by her prey's sudden disappearance, continued to prance down the path without care. It had to be around here somewhere!

Rreown slowed his pace a little as the strange little light disappeared from his view. Feathers ruffled impatiently, nostrils flaring as he cocked his head to one side and breathed in, slowly. Whatever it was certainly didn't smell like anything.
The dark Adahy's stomach rumbled again, but Rreown found himself indecisive. Bright eyes glanced about the dark tunnel. There didn't seem to be any signs of a quick meal, but that wasn't anything he wasn't used to. What if this glowing thing tasted good?
With a snort, he continued down the path, still defiantly optimistic that there'd be something worth breaking the nightly fast on along the way.

Haze took a step forward the lighted path. The path back home was still dark. Knowing the area around here Haze knew there would be a better chance of finding food onwards as well. If he found the lights, that would just be an added bonus.

Again, Naada was a creature of impulse and thoughtlessness, not as bright as most of her siblings had been: there was no choice to her choice, no thought to her thought, no decision to her decision. It wasn't that she paused and considered her options. She didn't weigh the gnawing in the pit of her stomach against some sense of adventure, nor did she wonder at possible danger and decide to face it head on.
She was just already moving. And once she'd set her nose in one direction, she didn't generally change her mind. So she kept going.

Brave adventurer that you are, you the follow path further into the dark trees. The further in you go, the less it looks like the day has dawned. Suddenly loud screeching breaks out overhead. Looking around apprehensively, you wonder if the Glow Festival season has brought out demons. In a flurry of wind and wings beating around your head, the screeching descends upon you.

Haze decided to duck, roll and run for cover behind the closest tree. A bird landed in the spot he'd just vacated. It peered at Haze with it's many eyes, then strutted up to him and claimed him as it's newest conquest.

You want no more of this. You turn tail and head back the way you came as fast as your little feet can carry you. You decide that chasing silly lights is not a morning jaunt you want to pursue.
The Dancing Light has other ideas and has circled around to taunt you as you emerge from the dark trees. It weaves and bounces in an enticing way, heading off in the direction of the river. Curiosity tempts you once again. You know nothing about cats, so you follow the Dancing Light.
Reaching the water's edge, you stop to watch the dancing light skim easily over the water to the other side of the river.
Do you brave the cold river and swim across?
Or do you find a more round-about, but dryer way to cross the river?
Please roll one 100-sided dice with your response.
You have until the next prompt to post your response (at least 24 hours from this post).

Heliosyne quickly chases after the glowbug, snapping her jaws at it until she suddenly comes to the edge of a river. She peers down into the water, up at the bug, down into the water, up at the bug. Finally she whines at it and begins looking about for another way across.

Her feet flying, Naada was heading in the other direction now -- and true to form, once she was moving, there was little to no chance of her changing her mind. Fearful fleeing melted to curious chasing without her even realizing when the change happened, without making any kind of conscious effort.
She was in the water before she realized, gasping and spluttering and cursing herself for being an idiot. She'd been moving too quickly and single-mindedly to stop. And now that she was wet, well, she might as well keep going. She swam.
