𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴ a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of the cabin is a hero.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: You're here to save him. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

The end of the world?
Save a hero? Can't this supposed hero save himself?
Maybe releasing this hero will cause the world to end.
Okay, I'll do it!
How did the Hero get locked up?
Can't someone else do this?
I look too good for this.
Maybe I'm okay with the world ending.
Do I get a reward for this?
╰┈➤ [Go to the cabin]
[Leave]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: You walk up the path to the cabin. A word of warning—the Hero has been described as violent. Reckless. Evil. Some say he's a monster that acts as ugly as he looks like, and others witnessed him being more cruel than any torture method you can think of combined.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: Don't listen to a word of it. He will save the world.

╰┈➤ I'm so excited for this.
[Proceed to the cabin]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: It will all be over in a few minutes.

╰┈➤ [Proceed to the cabin]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: The inside of the cabin is rather bare. The only furniture it has are a wooden chair and a wooden table. A pristine key lies on the table. Near the table and the chair is a door. A keyhole is under the doorknob, but the door is unlocked for you.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: Going through the door will reveal the Hero to you.

[Take the pristine key]
╰┈➤ [Go downstairs]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: You open the door and go downstairs. From the bottom of the stairs, you hear a voice.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎: Who's there?

╰┈➤ I'm here to save you.
I'm here to slay you.
[Stay silent]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: There is silence from his end. Then, he continues talking.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎: Really? Thank you. Thank you so much...

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒: He sounds so desperate...

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: Wouldn't you be, if you were him?

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: You come to the stone floor of the basement. There, you see what many would describe as a monster chained to the wall via his wrist. Feathers belonging to one of a bird. Arms covered in scales like a reptile's. Nails as sharp as a cat's claws. Cold eyes looking at you and only you, studying your every move.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: Do not be fooled by looks. This is the Hero. He is going to save the world.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎: So, you're the one here to save me...
