《Arching Choices》Chapter 7: The Tree
Advertisement
As you are about to jump down you notice a birds nest next to you. Inside there are no eggs, but a small gold coin and a small pair of scissors sitting inside. You take both and carefully make a little room in your satchel, Instead of jumping straight dwn you slowly climb down, swinging to different branches as you inspect the tree a bit more.
It appears to be a birch tree, but the leaves are white like snow in wintertime. Nearly circling the tree you notice some magenta colored fruits, or berries. Moving closer you still don't know what they are. Suddenly you remember that book you took from the Discovery room. Sitting on a nearby branch you start leafing through the book. While flipping through, you see a berry that look similar.
Cloud Bang: a peculiar fruit that's seed is used historically for Endurence potions, and Bone strengthing pills. Can be made into jams and liqueurs. Tastes like a cream tart. The reason it is called a Cloud Bang is when you spit the seed and it hits a solid surface a gust of air and mist will explode outward, imbedding the seed in the ground for future gemination. Very rare, it became extinct because the fruits would expire after 3 days. Normallly the seed would fall to the ground, but people collected them for medicines, and the trees slowly died out.
Huh. Its a bit sad the tree's had died out, but this tree is seemingly healthy. You suspect birds have eaten most of the seeds. Collecting the fruit you put it in your remaining pocket. Maybe you can plant some new trees, or at least you can use them for a distraction.
Figuring you got all you can from the tree you hop off. It seems you are in a cave as there is a tree behind you, a walkway in front, leading to a stairwell, and there is a rusted door to the right of the cavern. going up to the stairwell their is a plaque that is quite faded. it read ' Safezone Exit, continue to ____ Room or leave _______.' It seems the next room's lettering is scratched out. It might be good to check out the Door, but you could always come back up the stairwell to check it out later.

Dozens, if not hundreds of worlds were destroyed or damaged by what amounted to a industrial accident on a higher level of existence. Many people and places however, were saved at the last instant and hastily slammed together into a makeshift world held together with magic and hope. The director was assigned to keep the whole thing going and stole the idea of a RPG driven system as a placeholder set of natural laws. One he is constantly having to apply ad hoc fixes and updates on the fly. The main character and the church he worked at end up being one of the places from modern earth that got saved. Possibly updating Saturday and Sunday if my schedule stays the same
