Storm Warning (Choose your own adventure)

20

You decide to keep going to the village. You soldier on through the torrential rain until a bolt of lightning smashes into the ground in front of you. It awakens a few memories buried deep at the back of your mind... A clap of thunder, a clash of swords, a baby crying... But as soon as the memories appear, they go away. You search the depths of your mind to find them, but they have disappeared without a trace. Your vision starts going fuzzy, and the world spins around you. Your gauntlet tingles, and you can see dark, malevolent shapes moving around past the corner of your eye. There is a loud rushing in your head and..

.....

...Your eyes flicker open to the warm light. Where are you? You hear distant voices... " Avner, I think he's waking up!" "Well, it's about time. He's been out for three days now." another voice says. A man and a woman walk into your room. "Wh..wh..ere.." you croak. "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now" the woman says. "We found you just lying unconscious in the woods and we brought you back here to recover. I'm Rose, and this is my husband Avner. You're in Valehaven, a small farming village." You want to thank this kind couple for saving you, but you're so dizzy you can hardly get the words out. In the next few days as you recover, Rose and Avner let you stay at their farmhouse. You tell them about how you woke up in the wreckage and made your way through the forest and they are glad to find out why you were carrying all those weapons.

On the fourth day, you are finally well enough to explore Valehaven. You eat breakfast with Rose and Avner as raindrops splatter on the windows. They give you your bag and coat back and you thank them, then step out to explore the village. Turn to 24.
