《Arching Choices》Chapter 6: The New Keys
Advertisement
As you are fumbling with the keys in your hand, You decide to let the gear do something with the keys, because it is trying so hard to take the keys from you. The keys fly towards the gear at a high speed before coming to an abrupt stop a few inches away from the gear. You have removed all doubt that this gear is extemely magical, and seemingly sentiant as it fights you on some decisions.
You see that three keys start to destruct, as pieces are seperating and floating in a weird circle. One piece from each key attaches themselves to the gear, A Diamond, A Fire symbol, and A Crown. You notice the remaining pieces don't drop to the ground or disappear, but instead they slam together violently, trasforming into a plain black key with no differences to a normal key.
The key created by the gear is shifting colors from red and gold. and you use it on the gear keyhole. The remaining Keyholes disappear and the shifting doorknob is replaced by a crank. Words form above the door.
You Have Used Key Of Possibility. You will be Transported shortly.
looking down slugishly you see that your arm is on the crank turning it slowly. As you try to move your arm to stop you only go faster, slightly panicking you try to move away but it seem all of your actions are in vain in the end becuse you are only turning the crank faster and faster.
Suddenly you hear a thonk from the back of your head. You feel pain like someone hit you, and suddenly you see only darkness.
You wake up hearing bird chirping and a pain in your back. You're in a Tree, but there is a ceiling to wherever you are. The tree isn't very high up, and you begin climbing down before coming to a realization.

You are in an unknown area, and you don't know what kind of predators are down on the ground. You feel that you could hold your own, but you aren't sure about your chances once you get out of the tree.
Cranking the gear you think about your options.
Stay in tree for safety and planning
Get out of tree for exploration
