Beginning Story Deciding to take a break from your training and lessons, you have wandered off to the sea side. How you travel to the shore is up to your imagination, but when you have finally arrived at your designation it is late afternoon. As you stroll along the sandy shore and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves beating upon the shore, a glimmer inland catches your eye. Looking towards it you see what ever sparkled has vanished into a dark opening in the rocky hillside next to you. As you wander over towards the hill, you can see that while it might be a tight squeeze, you think you can enter into the dark tunnel beyond. A break was always nice once in a while, which was why she was out here today in Serenia on a quite small beach Esmeralda had found. She’d been walking on the beach, hands around her side as she reflected what had happened in the past and where she was heading now. Not much thinking was done however, when Esme spotted something shinning in the distance. Following it, she made her way to a cave, it looked like she could fit through it, but did she really want to go into a cave by herself with god knew what inside? After hesitating for a few seconds, Esmeralda slipped inside. She was curious to know what she might find in there, maybe another dragon tear? Now one of those was worth an adventure!Please write your reactions to this prompt and reasons for being here. If you decide to leave without entering, then give a reason why and go to Quit. If you wish to continue inside the tunnel, also give a reason why and go to Entering.

Entering Story As you squeeze into the dark tunnel, you can see a little in front of you. There are small animal tracks in the dirt beneath you. Wiggling your way slowly through the tunnel, you come upon a side tunnel. Both trails have animal tracks, though the path forward seems more traveled. Will you continue forward or turn and go down the side tunnel? Or have you had enough and want to crawl backwards and leave? Once again, please respond to this prompt, what are your character's thoughts and feelings as they travel through this dark cramped tunnel. After slipping in Esmeralda gave one last glance behind her cursing silently that she should have brought something with her to light her way through the tunnel or something to mark her path to return. Well, it was all or nothing; Esme turned her back towards the light and headed into the darkness hands to the wall so she could feel her way inside. It was always a good thing when the only thing was the traces of what animals had come through here, who knew what things were in these tunnels! When Esmeralda reached the tunnel where it divided into two, she paused to contemplate for a bit. If she went forward and followed all those tracks, she was bound to come up on something that had made them. Did she really want to come face to face with some animal in the dark? No, definitely not. Esmeralda took the side tunnel.
Story If you A) go forward, Go to "A: Forward," B) go down the side tunnel, Go to "B: Side Tunnel"

Side Tunnel Story Deciding to take this side tunnel, you squirm about and crawl through this tight space. As you squirm through the dark twisting tunnel; its rough walls scratch you with the sharp protruding rocks. As you travel along this path you notice that it gradually slopes downwards. After a while, you see the darkness lighten. There is something ahead of you! As you crawl faster towards the light you finally see the tunnel suddenly open up. RP response then go to "Cavern Room" For a brief second as she crawled and wiggled through the side tunnel, Esmeralda got claustrophobic. Being in total darkness and being in tight spaces were not a good idea. When she hadn’t seen the shiny thing she should have walked right back out of that place and gone right back home! Esme even shed a few tears when she got stuck, but soon calmed herself when things started to look clearer and she felt like she was able to breathe better now. She slipped a few times for some off reasons he left like there was starting to be a slope, which could only mean one thing. She was going even deep and down, not a god thing, so she started going faster to try and reach the light.
RP response then go to "Cavern Room"

Cavern Room Story Looking around at your surroundings you see a small cavern light up from a hole in the ceiling. Tree roots have forced their way into this cave and opened up a path for light and water. A small pond has formed beneath the opening. In the middle of it you see a tiny island. It is covered in junk. Some rags, broken bottles and broken jewelry. Also amid the pile you can spot something sparkling in the light. The only openings that you can leave or enter this room from are from a tunnel that comes out half way up the wall or a tunnel that leads off into the dark again. Looking around Esmeralda’s first thought was how inconvenient this room was to get out of. She could barely pull herself up those roots to get out, and to top it all off the only way out looked like it was going to be through tunnels again. On the up side, the pile of tings in the middle of the island could perhaps have something of interest hidden in them. Was this someone treasure tho? Hidden away for no one to see? Or where people just dropping things down the whole to be lost and forgotten. Either way, Esmeralda made her way over to the pile, hoping that she had indeed found a pile of treasure and not just junk.
Story What do you do? What are your character's thoughts? Do you: A) Approach the pond and its pile? Go to "Loot" B) Leave? Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel halfway up the cavern wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall.

Loot Story Approaching the pile, you wade through the cold pond waters. It is not deep and you can see small fish swim away from your noisy intrusion. As you reach the pile, you can see it is mostly rocks and trash gathered by some small creature, but amidst the trash you find an Ayrala and Peisio Dragon Orb! (one for each participant) The surprise on Esmeralda’s face as she clutched the Peisio dragon orb in her hands, oh my there was another orb here too! Esme grabbed both, this was all she wanted from this pile, and it was enough of a reward!
Now to leave. Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel in the middle of the wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall.

Leaving A story As you leave the cave behind you and crawl through the dark winding tunnel the sharp rocks protruding from the walls scratch and gouge you. It gradually slopes upwards, back towards the surface. After a while, you reach another tunnel. Looking down you can see the tracks that you made earlier. Following them out, you squeeze out back onto the surface. The sun is now on the horizon. Yes! Finally freedom! Esmeralda took a deep breath of fresh air as soon as she was back outside. No more squeezing through tunnels, Esme was going home!
