You walk to the east, away from the setting sun. A spot appears on the horizon. As you get closer it comes into focus. You stand in front of a large house, its bright red door standing out against the white walls. A light is on in the window.\n\n[[Knock on door|knock6]]\n\n[[Call out|anyone home 7]]\n\n[[Go back|Back to junction]]\n\n

You look down at your throbbing hand. The cut isn't big, just a small opening in the centre of your palm. However, it is deep.\n\n[[Finish uncovering object|Dig up]]\n

You approach the door. You notice a welcome mat by your feet with the words VAL VERDE printed on it. Strange.\n\nYou knock on the door but no one answers. The door is locked.\n\n[[Call out|anyone home 3]]\n\n[[Go back|house2]]

You look up at the black bird. It looks back at you with malignant eyes, its head cocked to one side.\n\n"Hello?" you shout up to it. It only screeches in reply.\n\n[[Try again|Talk to crow]]\n\n[[Try and climb the tree|Climb tree]]\n\n[[Go back|Junction v2]]\n

You put your arms around the tree but the pain from your hand is too much. You can't climb the tree with your hand unbandaged.\n\n[[Go back|Junction v3]]\n\n[[Try again|Climb tree2]]\n\n[[Talk to crow|Talk to crow2]]

you use stab the sharp points of the instruments into the tree trunk, over and over again as you hold onto the handle part, helping you to climb higher. Eventually you reach the first bough.

The box emits a small click and the top slowly slides up, revealing a compartment. You reach into the open box and grab something soft. It is a roll of bandages. You can't think of a use for it so you put it back. Continuing to dig around in the box, you find a piece of bread. You take it.\n\n[[Go back south|Junction v6]]

You wave the bread roll at the crow. Its interest is piqued and its eyes follow the bread as you move it back and forth.\n\n[[Give the crow a small piece|feed]]\n\n[[Throw roll to the ground|throw]]\n\n

"Come on, give it here!" you plead.\n\nThe crow glares at you, unwavering. Maybe if you had something to trade...\n\n[[Go back|junction v5]]\n\n[[Reach for the key|reach]]\n

You ignore your fear and venture closer to the blur. As you approach, it reveals itself to be a tall tree with green and yellow leaves. Even its lowest branch towers above you. You hear the screech again and direct your attention to the source, a large black crow watching you from the third bough. \n\n[[Try and climb the tree|Climb tree]]\n\n[[Talk to the crow|Talk to crow]]\n\n[[Go back|Junction v2]]

The crow snatches the piece of bread from your fingers and promptly swallows it. It looks at you smugly, the key still trapped behind it.\n\n[[Feed it another piece|feed]]\n\n[[Throw the rest of the roll to the ground|throw]]

You pick up the piece of paper. It has some words written on it in cursive scrawl.\n\n"Please dig carefully!"\n\nThe last of the sun's light will be disappearing soon. You're worried that you'll run out of time.\n\n[[Begin digging, slowly and carefully despite the setting sun|dig later]]\n\n[[Dig quickly|dig immediately]]\n\n[[Go back|Back to junction]]

You awaken in a field. Golden green grass stretches unobstructed to the horizon in all directions. The sun is setting in the west, turning the sky a light tea rose colour.\n\nYour mind feels cloudy and your head hurts. You have no memory of how you got here. If fact, you don't remember anything at all. You haven't got a clue who you are. As you realise this, you begin to panic. Who are you? What happened? What's going on?\n\n[[Scream for help |Scream for help]]\n\n[[Calm down |Calm down]]

You're at the base of a tall tree with green and yellow leaves. Even its lowest branch towers above you, the silver instruments still stuck firmly in the trunk. There is nothing unusual about the tree.\n\n[[Go back east|Junction v8]]\n\n[[Climb tree|bough2]] \n

You wrap up your hand. Good as new.\n\n[[Go back|Junction v6]]

You throw the roll to the ground. It bounces on the soft grass. The crow flies off of the branch and dives for the bread, grabbing it in its beak and flying off into the distance, leaving the key unguarded.\n\n[[Take the key|key3]]\n\n[[Inspect bough|bough]]

You fit the key into the lock and turn it. The door swings open.\n

The box emits a small click and the top slowly slides up, revealing a compartment. You reach into the open box and grab something soft, a roll of bread. You take it. You feel around and find something else. It is a roll of bandages.\n\n[[Dress your wound|dress wound]]\n\n

You kneel down and examine the box. There are a series of wooden tiles on the top with letters printed on them. You count 12 tiles. Below them there are some strange markings.\n\n[[Examine tiles|tiles3]]\n\n[[Examine Markings|markings3]]\n

You use your uninjured hand to finish uncovering the silver object, more carefully this time. It has a metal band that looks something like a handle, attached to two sturdy looking spikes coming out of the other end. You look back into the hole to find an identical instrument. You pick them up.\n\n[[Go back|Walk south3]]

You head south across the vast field. Every direction holds an unwavering plain of grass that shimmers in the low sunlight, moved gently by the wind. Eventually you stumble across a discrepancy: a small mound of dirt. It looks like something might have been buried here.\n\nA small piece of paper sticks out of the mound.\n\n[[Dig up dirt with hands|dig immediately]]\n\n[[Look at paper slip|paper slip]]\n\n[[Go back|Back to junction]]\n\n

You drive your fingers into the surprisingly soft dirt. It is easy to move and you work quickly, hand after hand shoveling the soil. You see a glint of silver and excitedly grab at it. A piercing pain charges up your arm. Without realising, you have just cut your hand on a sharp spike.\n\n[[Assess wound|assess wound]]\n\n[[Finish uncovering object|Dig up]]\n\n\n\n
