(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[Noooooooooooo oooooooo ooooooo ooooo ooo oo o o [[o]]]

Huzzah for your bravery! You march (colour:yellow)[[onward]]

YOU IMBECILE! Why the //HELL// did you touch that (text-colour:blue)[Portal Crystal]?! I thought you were supposed to be (text-colour:lime)[Grrekin the //Intelligent//], not Grrekin the //Stupid// Gah! Where have you gotten yourself, now? What is this place and why is it so dark.......and wet? You better cast a (colour:orange)[[Torch Spell]]

(text-colour:orange)[//Pfst.....//] Oh no...looks like your Torch Spell just ran out of juice. Now you're all alone in the dark, crying like a baby. What a pathetic loser---- (text-colour:lime)[(text-style:"outline")[GRRRRRRRRRRRAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!]] Oh shit. Was that the(colour:red)[ [[dragon]] ]??

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[You Were Eaten by the Dragon ''(text-colour:red)[GAME OVER]'' [[(@)]]]

As you proceed down the corridor, you hear a strange chirping noise..... //What is that---// Suddenly an entire hoard of poisonous cave-bats flutter towards you!! (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[Cast a spell: (colour:orange)[[Explosion Potion]] or (colour:blue)[[Invisibility Charm]] or (colour:red)[[Bat-Morphosis]]]

BOOM (boom, boom, boom...) Great! Your potion killed the poisonous bats but.... The floor is shaking! The walls are caving in! I think the ground is about to (color:blue)[[cave innnnnnnnn---|aqua cavern]]

Great work! You cast and invisibility charm and the bats fly right past you. (colour:yellow)[[Walk on, warrior|cavern two]]

//Kah-Zam!// You transform into a bat and they don't kill you. (colour:yellow)[[Follow the bat swarm]] or (colour:lime)[[Transform into a Wizard Again]]

//''SPLASH''// You've fallen into an aqua-cavern. Quick, cast a (colour:blue)[[breathing charm]], or you'll drown!

Ah now we can see, but--- Oh no... That wasn't any ordinary Portal Crystal. That must have been a Temporal-Portal Crystal, becuase it looks like you've traveled back in time---back to before you defeated the dragon! (text-colour:blue)[[Enter Cavern]] or (text-colour:yellow)[[Curl Up Into a Ball of Shame|Shame]]

You come across what looks like the lost city of Atlantas. When you swim closer, an entire pod of mer-people suddenly rush from behind the stones. They all wield spears! Their leader--a muscular (and kinda cute) merman--speaks to you: "Why are you here?" (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[ (colour:yellow)[[Speak to them]]; who knows they could be friendly?? Or (colour:orange)[[ATTACK!]] This isn't a dating simulator. They could kill you! ]

You explain how you accidentally fell into the aqua cavern and that you mean them no harm. The Merman leader responds well to this; they completely understand, and actually, they invite you for a night of celebration in their [[grotto]].

You reach for a potion but before you can even throw it, the mer-people rush you and (colour:red)[[tear you limb from limb]] until you're a puddle of fish-food.

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[You Were Eaten by the Merpeople ''(text-colour:red)[GAME OVER]'' [[(@)]]]

You follow the mer-people into their wonderful city and spend the night dancing and drinking this mysterious blue liquid. In the morning, you wake up next to the Merman leader and you can't remember how the night ended. He tells you that it was a wonderful night of //splashing around// (wink wink) He then hands you a (colour:yellow)[[Sword of Aqua Stone|Sword of Honor]], which you conceal on your back.

"Use this," says the Merman, "in times of absolute need. Now go forth Grrekin and slay the mighty dragon!" You thank the Merman and he gives you a kiss of parting. Then you swim out of the aqua cavern, (colour:yellow)[[feeling fufilled|Final Cave]].

Ahh, let's see. What's next for you (colour:green)[[adventure]]?

Phew! Now you can breath easy ...or can you? Want to (colour:blue)[[explore]] the aqua cavern?

You enter this new cavern But things seem really....hot? Suddenly (colour:orange)[[lava]] begins to pool down the sides of the cavern

You follow the bat swarm and they take you through a small hole in the cavern wall. You see something shiny.... (colour:purple)[[what is it??|sword]]

Once the bats are gone, you transform back into a wizard and.....(colour:yellow)[[keep on walkin|cavern two]]

(align:"==>")[It's a crystal cavern And on a pedestal, a (color:green)[[Green Crystal Sword]]]

(align:"==>")[You take the sword and place it on your back Time to (colour:green)[[climb|Final Cave]] out of this beautiful cavern]

The lava is flowing in fast (colour:red)[[RUNNNNN]] or (colour:yellow)[[Cast a Fire-Resistant Charm]]

You run from the lava--- and then trip. You fly face-first into the (colour:orange)[[molten substance]]

You cast the spell and start to run But then you trip on a stone and fall directly into the (colour:orange)[[lava pool]]

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[You Were Eaten by the Lava ''(text-colour:red)[GAME OVER]'' [[(@)]]]

Although you're now in the lava, you're okay! And actually it's fun to swim around. You swim to the bottom of the pool and there, on a stone, you see a (colour:red)[[Fire Sword!]]

You grab the sword, conceal it on your back, and swim back to the top of the lava pool. You climb out and follow the path into another (colour:blue)[[cave|Final Cave]]

It's awfully dark in here. (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[You know what to do....] (align:"==>")[(colour:orange)[[Torch Spell|Torch Spell Two]]]

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")+(colour:red)[[OH. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT]]

(text-colour:orange)[//Pfst...//] You stumble backwards and your Torch Spell burns out. You drop all of your (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[potions and weapons] (align:"==>")+(colour:purple)[[onto the ground]]

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(colour:magenta)[[(♡✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚)|romance]]] (colour:blue)[[▬▬ι════ﺤ]] (align:"==>")[(colour:orange+yellow)[[⛉⛉⛉]]] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(colour:green+orange)[[(####)]]]

You grab the magenta potion and throw it at the dragon. It cracks across his head and he falls, dazed. A purple cloud of mist circulates his head and then his eyes sparkle with (colour:magenta)[[wonder]]

You grab the sword from the ground! //Swap, Swap!// (align:"==>")+(box:"X=")[You fend off the dragon and when the moment is just right, ] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")[you jump through the air] and lodge the sword into the (colour:blue)[[beast's skull]]

You reach for your sword, but instead grab a (colour:orange+yellow)[[magic shield]]

You grab the green potion and accidentally spill it onto (colour:green+orange)[[yourself]]

It was a love potion that you cast! Maybe this Twine Story is a dating simulator after all You and the dragon fall deeply in love and live happily ever after...... (colour:magenta)[[♡✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚|THE END]]

The dragon falls (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[down,] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[down,] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[down,] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[and (colour:blue)[[dies|THE END]]!]

Your skin starts to burn.... and then (colour:green+orange)[[bubble!!]]

Suddenly your body multiplies into four identical copies It was a Multiplication Potion! (colour:green+orange)[[HUZZAH]]

You and the three other Grrekin's draw your swords and potions and battle the dragon to it's (colour:green+orange)[[death|THE END]]!

It multiplies around you like a (colour:orange+yellow)[[force field]]

And the dragon tries to bite you until it is ultimately (colour:orange+yellow)[[knocked unconscious]] and you escape the cavern!

(align:"==>")+(box:"X=")[(colour:orange+yellow)[[up|THE END]]] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")[up,] You follow the cave hallway up,
