You Shouldn't Be Here

You make it to the light and see another fork in the road, but this time it's four paths; the one on the closest right is lit up with purple crystals, the cavern on the far right is covered in yellow crystals, the path on the far left is alit with blue crystals, and the one on the closest left is dark as dark can be.

Where will you go?

[FAR LEFT] [CLOSE LEFT] [CLOSE RIGHT] [FAR RIGHT]

>>far right

You chose the path furthest to the right. The crystals seem to get brighter as you press forward. Soon, you come across a girl with big, poofy orange hair, yellow skin, rose colored eyes, wearing a dark purple headband with spikes sticking out of the top, a dress and jacket combo consisting of two shades of purple, and purple boots with dark purple straps around them a yellow gem on each of them.

"Who are you!?" she asks demandingly, "How did you get here!?"

You calm yourself and answer her, "In order, I can't remember who I am, and I somehow fell in this place through a hole in the ground."

"Okay..." she looked unsure, then appeared as if she realized something, "W-Wait! How'd you get past the guards!?"

"Guards? What guards?" you ask.

She looked shocked, "There's...no guards? None whatsoever?"

"I...guess?"

She suddenly stands up, "...Then the only thing standing in my way is you."

[FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT]

>>do nothing

The girl gets ready to pounce on you, but then notices a glinting light in your pocket, "What's that?" realization flashes in her eyes, "I know that shimmer anywhere. Give it!" she leaps at you and digs her hand in your pocket, pulling out some of your shards.

[ITEM LOST: 7 GEM SHARDS]

She tries to put them together only to stop and glare at you, "Where's the rest?" she seethes.

It occurs to you that you used a few of those shards to defend yourself.

"I, uh...lost them?" you say sheepishly.

With newfound anger, she lunges at you.

What will you do?

[FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT]

>>flirt

How do you flirt with an angry woman?

[FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT]

>>fight

You pull out a couple gem shards and toss them at the angry girl, they stab both her shoulders, but does nothing to faze her.

[ITEM LOST: 2 GEM SHARDS]

[FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT]

>>fight

You crouch into a defensive position and prepare yourself. She leaps at you and you grab her as you roll backwards, pushing her off of you. She lands back first into a stalagmite, an unhealthy amount of gore seeping from her body.

"How dare you...you murdered me..." she curses you in a hoarse whisper.

Then it was quiet. She was gone.

You won!

[EXP Gained]

[Lv. 5 achieved!]

[ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: COLD BLOODED MURDERER]

[GAME AUTO-SAVED]

You walk up to her corpse and stroke her hair, "I'm sorry."

With faltering determination, you leave the poor girl.

You never even knew her name.

[PATHWAY CLOSED]

You made it back to the point you left off at with heavy footsteps.

Where will you go?

[FAR LEFT] [CLOSE LEFT] [CLOSE RIGHT] [FAR RIGHT]

>>close right

You continue your now depressing journal into the cavern with purple crystals. Suddenly, a girl with light purple skin, dark purple hair with aquamarine streaks done up in pigtails, purple eyes, wearing a black dress with a green skirt, green and white striped fingerless gloves, pink and white striped tights, and dark purple sandals marked with a star and music note on each one, ran up and punched you in the face.

"I heard everything," she seethed, "you killed my sister. You're dead!"

[FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT]

>>do nothing

With the misery you feel, you accept your fate, not even bothering to explain yourself. The girl stomps on every part of your body; legs, arms, stomach, head, everything. She keep stomping on you until you're marinating in your own blood. She breathes heavily as she steps over you.

"Sonata?" she calls out, "C'mon. Help me get Adagio's body so we can leave and give her a proper burial."

[GAME OVER]

[PASSWORD RECOGNIZED: DAZZLINGS' PRISON CAVES]

[GAME LOADED]

You find yourself back in the cavern where you killed that poor girl, her corpse is still stuck in the stalagmite. With a disturbing type of determination, you pull her body out and fashion a coffin from the rocks around cave, you lift her into the makeshift coffin and apologize once again before you pray for her.

"...Amen." you conclude.

You stand up and walk out of the girl's prison, which has now become her tomb.
