***************************************************************************************************************************************

Outcome A

You choose to follow the path to the left, where the sun shines brightly. As you walk, the warm sunlight illuminates your way, casting long shadows behind you.

*The Garden of Illusions*

The path leads you through a beautiful garden filled with vibrant flowers and towering trees. However, as you walk, you start to notice that the flowers seem to be shifting and changing colors before your eyes. The trees appear to be melting and reforming into strange, surreal shapes.

****The Pool of Narcissus********

You come across a tranquil pool of water, reflecting the bright sunlight. As you approach the pool, you see your own reflection staring back at you. But, to your surprise, your reflection begins to change, becoming more and more distorted.

*****The Trap of Vanity*******

You become entranced by your reflection, mesmerized by its ever-changing forms. As you gaze deeper into the pool, you realize that you are trapped by your own vanity. The pool is actually a magical trap, designed to ensnare those who are too self-absorbed.

****The Consequences of Failure****

As you remain trapped, the maze begins to shift and change around you. The paths disappear, and the walls close in. You are left alone, surrounded by the endless reflections of your own ego.

****Game Over*****

Unfortunately, your journey has come to an end. Your failure to resist the trap of vanity has led to your downfall.

You choose to follow the path to the right, where the shadows fall deeply. As you walk, the darkness seems to swallow you whole, and you must rely on your other senses to navigate.

*The Tunnel of Whispers*

The path leads you through a narrow, winding tunnel. The air is thick with the whispers of the ancients, their voices echoing off the cold stone walls. You strain to listen, trying to glean some hidden knowledge from the whispers.

*The Chamber of Riddles*

You emerge from the tunnel into a small, dimly lit chamber. The room is filled with rows of ancient stone pedestals, each one bearing a small, intricately carved stone tablet. The tablets bear cryptic riddles, etched into their surfaces in a language you don't understand.

*The Riddle of the Ancients*

You notice one tablet with a riddle that seems to glow with a faint, otherworldly light:

"What can be broken, but never held? What can be given, but never sold?"

A) A promise

B) A heart

C) A shadow

The passageway opens up into a large, dimly lit chamber. The room is filled with rows of ancient stone statues, each one depicting a great hero from Norse legend.

Suddenly, you hear a voice booming from the shadows. "Choose a statue, mortal. Choose wisely, for the fate of your journey hangs in the balance."
