Welcome to DragonQuest. You will play a mighty dragon that explores their identity and determine what path you explore. There are four major game endings (The Wizard, The Empire, The Orcs and The Friend). See if you can find them all! (Multiple play throughs would be required) If you need a hint to find one...

The Dwarven hold of Karak Seven Peaks was once the home of Ungrim Ironhide, the powerful Dwarven chieftain. His Dwarvish ancestors had ruled the hold for many years after evicting the mighty dragon Durnehviir, the World Render. After generations of Dwarves, there amassed a treasure so great that two dragons named Titania the Deceiver and Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane joined forces to destroy the great armies of Ungrim Ironhide. This alliance among dragons was unheard of and while the Dwarves were capable of repelling one dragon, the might of two eventually wiped them out. The legendary duo of Titania and Jörmungandr created a spawn, a spawn to inherit the legendary hoard. The dragon that was produced by this union was <<textbox "$playerName" "Talon">> [[Continue...|Character Creation]]

Titania, the Deceiver: “Wake up $playerName! You have much work to do today. Do not let your Father see you lazing about.” $playerName: “Yes Mother.” Titania, the Deceiver: Instead of sprawling among the riches that your Father and I have claimed, why do you not instead gather food for us? Make sure not to sully our reputation by hunting deer like some coward. Now go, lest I name you ‘$playerName, the Cowardly Slayer of Sheep’.” $playerName: “Yes Mother, I shall make haste!” [[Being the hunt|The Hunt]]

As $playerName took off from the peak of Karak Seven Peaks, $heshe surveyed the land. To $hisher West lay the farms of Kanata. Kanata was a human village that provided tribute to $playerName's parents in return for protection from the warring Orcish tribes in the North. However, this did not stop $hisher parents from taking a little tribute on the side, often through indiscriminate force. $playerName could go to the farms and take the farmers and their livestock. While that is what $hisher parents would require of $himher, $playerName could also go East into the forest and hunt down deer and other wildlife. Doing so would incur $hisher Father and Mother’s wrath, but would spare the humans of any trouble. They already had enough problems to deal with, why bother them any more? [[Fly to Farms|Go to Farms]] [[Hunt Wildlife|Hunt Wildlife]]

$playerName descends upon the farms breathing $hisher fire on their loosely thatched roofs. Quickly the houses and barns caught on fire, and farmers began to scream at their loved ones to run towards the village with any horses they could get a hold of. How do you feel about this? [[You take joy in killing the helpless humans|Evil Bastard]] [[This is what dragons do. It is only natural.|Doing My Job]] <<audio "dragonBreath" play>>

$HeShe knew his Father and Mother would be angry. Yet, this still did not scare $himher enough to attack the humans. $HeShe knew how bad they had it. The Orcs in the North, and $hisher parents up in Karak Seven Peaks. $playerName streaked into the woods, $hisher small frame allowing $himher to traverse the foliage. It was better this way, and yet $hisher parents did not understand it. They told $himher that this was the way things are. Dragons loot, pillage, and destroy. Humans offer tribute, cower, and die. $playerName refused to believe that this was the way things are, and if they were $heshe wished to change them. As $heshe approached a small clearing, $heshe saw a group of deer. $HeShe opened $hisher mouth letting loose a torrent of flame, knowing that tonight not only would $heshe be getting a mouthful of deer, but an earful from $hisher parents as well. <<set $morality to $morality + 10>> [[Having eaten some deer, you return home, dreading what is to come.|Return Home]]

$playerName smiled as the little humans ran from in utter despair. There was something inexplicably euphoric about lauding the spectre of death over these mewling ingrates. A flick of a claw, or a brief spout of dragon’s breath, would easily dispatch a few humans. They would flee towards the village, thinking that they could run from $himher. Any that escaped, did so only because $heshe allowed it. It was always good to leave some survivors. $HisHer Father always told $himher, “Fear is only useful if it spreads”. Let them speak in hushed tones tonight, let them cower in fear of $playerName. <<set $morality to $morality - 5>> [[Now that the farms have been burnt, you return home.|Return Home]]

As $heshe descended upon the farms, $heshe saw the humans begin to run. $HeShe was a force of nature. $HeShe knew this, as long as $heshe remained mindful of not overstepping, $heshe had complete control of the situation. This is the way the world worked. $HeShe was a dragon, and they were not. This mere association made them no different then the deer $heshe would sometimes hunt. Both put up the same lack of resistance. $HeShe would grab as much livestock as possible, without starving any of the survivors when they returned of course. They still needed something to collect tribute from after all. <<set $morality to $morality + 2>> [[Having effortlessly slain the humans, you return home.|Return Home]]

<<if $morality <= 2>>$playerName returned home with bloody claws and hunks of flesh still stuck to $hisher teeth. $HisHer Father greeted $himher with a broad smile. Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: “Any more blood on those claws of yours, and I’ll have to call you ‘$playerName, the Butcher’. You have done well $sondaughter, a true dragon in the making!” $playerName: “The farmers were of no challenge Father, the task was as easy as you said.” Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: “No doubt it was! Did you remember to leave survivors like I told you to?” $playerName: “Yes, they will spread the tale of what happened tonight.” Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: "Your Mother and I grow weary of defending the humans; their troubles are no longer our concern. I tell you what $sondaughter, you seem like you are ready to take on a bigger challenge. I say ‘challenge’, but in truth it is a laughable task for me or your Mother. That is why I want you to destroy the village of Kanata. Consider it your rite of passage.” <<else>>$playerName returned home fully aware that $heshe was going to be called all manner of names for disobeying $hisher parents. Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: “$playerName! You dare to enter into the hold after disobeying your mother so?!!” Jörmungandr, Dwarfs Bane: “I have half a mind to bite your wings off and throw you down the mountain! Let the humans take care of you, as you have taken care of them. See if they show you the respite that you have shown them.” $playerName: “Father I don’t think that it makes a difference…” Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: “SILENCE! You have had your time to talk. Everyday they see you fly out and turn tail, they will tell tails of your softness. How the $sondaughter of Titania, the Deceiver and Jörmungandr, Dwarfs Bane runs from HUMANS!” Jörmungandr, Dwarf's Bane: “You will destroy their village, and you will do so by yourself. To disobey this command, will be the last thing you ever do. Make sure to leave some alive, so that they can tell proper tales of your destruction, and right the wrongs of your many cowardly acts. Now begone, and do not let me see you until the task is complete!” <</if>>\ <<if not visited("Attack Village")>>\ [[Begin Village Attack]] <<endif>>\ [[Run Away]] <<audio "bgm_gameStartMusic" volume 0.8 fadeoverto 15 0.0>>

<<if not visited ("Begin Village Attack")>>You begin flying towards the village, your Father’s voice still ringing in your ear. You begin your descent into the center of the village. The villagers stop what they are doing and look up, relieved no doubt that it was you, and not one of your parents. Old Man: “Greetings, young $mastermistress $playerName! What brings you to our humble village, nothing bad I hope?” $playerName: “Hello, Kaecilius. My parents have instructed me to burn the village down, as the find no more use in keeping you alive. I come to warn you of their approach, I cannot take your lives. I am going to flee, and I urge you all to do the same.” Old Man: “By the Gods! This is truly devastating news. We will begin evacuation at once. If you are fleeing your parents wrath, then perhaps the Misthollow Swamps to the South would be a suitable hiding place. You could also go to Mt. Etna, a smouldering volcano slightly east of the Misthollow Swamps.” With this information you take off and head to…. <<else>> You think to yourself of the various places you go to run away. Mt. Etna, the volcano not too far away from here could be of interest. Misthollow Swamp can be found nearby as well and could be a suitable place to build a lair, or even just vent off some steam. <</if>> [[Mt. Etna|Travel to Volcano]] [[Misthollow Swamp|Travel to Swamplands]] Alternatively, you could visit your old friend in the forest. [[Travel to Forest|Found Faerie Dragon]] Or if you dare... [[Return Home|Return Home(Defeat)]] <<audio "bgm_villageAttack" pause>>

You fly over the farms, picking off humans and various animals, crunching on their bones. You take $villageDamage point<<if $villageDamage != 1>>s<<endif>> of damage. <<set $playerHP = $playerHP - $villageDamage>> <<if $playerHP > 0>>[[Back to center of town|Attack Village]]<<else>>[[You don't feel so good...|Village Defeat]]<</if>> <img src="assets/image/attack/BurningFarm.jpg" width ="300" height ="250" alt="BurningFarm"/> <<audio "dragonBreath" play>>

You roar loudly, sending several of the bravest and wisest soldiers fleeing. The fools that remain are too slow to flee before you descend upon them, ripping apart their bodies mercilessly. <<set $villageDamage to 1>><<if not visited ("Blacksmith")>><<set $villageDamage to 2>><<endif>> With the guardhouse destroyed as well as their supplies, you have little to fear from the rest of this village.

With your claws, you tear into the granary, sending bits of grain flying everywhere. You catch brief glimpses of terror in the eyes of the peasants before they turn their backs on you. The villagers fight back, and you take $villageDamage point<<if $villageDamage != 1>>s<<endif>> of damage. <<set $playerHP = $playerHP - $villageDamage>> <<if $playerHP > 0>>[[Back to center of town|Attack Village]]<<else>>[[You don't feel so good...|Village Defeat]]<</if>> <img src="assets/image/attack/BurningGranary.jpg" width ="300" height ="250" alt="BurningGranary"/> <<audio "dragonBreath" play>>

The guards screamed for mercy, but why would you listen to their insolent mewling? Most of the men had stayed back, no doubt attempting to secure the retreat for their old and young ones. You had heard their captain yell encouragements, one of which particularly tickled your fancy. He had mentioned a $princeprincess, and how the more the guards fought, the further $heshe could run away. Your task was complete, your parents will no doubt be satisfied by the ruin you had brought to the humans. Perhaps you could now spend some time hunting the $princeprincess. These guards did not deserve any measure of success, and the fact that $princeprincess had made it out brought your blood to a boil. You swiftly find the royal caravan which you determine contains the $princeprincess. <<if $gender is "m">>\ [[Kidnap him|Kidnap]] <<elseif $gender is "f">>\ [[Kidnap her|Kidnap]] <<endif>>\ [[Murder|Murder]] <img src="assets/image/attack/attack_6.jpg" width ="400" height ="256" alt="fleeingVillagers"/> <<set $prisonerHeld to false>> <<set $playerName to $playerName + ", the Deathbringer">> (Title unlocked! You are now known as $playerName)

You collapse onto the caravan, ripping off the roof effortlessly and pick up a well dressed figure, terror in $hisher eyes. You carry them off, the commonfolk around you shouting curses but powerless to stop you. What will you do with your prisoner? [[Torture then send back with message]] - Leave survivors as father always said? [[Torture then kill]] - Make an example of them? [[Ransom]] - Or perhaps gold could be good? The peasants might not accept it though. Who would deal with a dragon after all? <<set $ransom to random(1, 2)>> <<set $prisonerHeld to true>>

You land atop a wagon but overestimating how much weight the wagon could take, your speed carries you through, crushing the entire vehicle and anyone inside. Not as graceful as you would have liked, but that will work. You curse as you realize that the wagon you had landed on contained the $princeprincess. In your fury you decide to descend upon the already ruined village. [[Finish the Chaos|Continue Destroying village]]

You carry the prisoner high into the air, the villagers hushed whispering turned to a gasp as you fling the prisoner prisoner up. The prisoner screams as before $heshe falls beyond your grasp, you snatch them with your other claw. The prisoner's screaming finally stops after a while, and all you feel is the huddled up self trembling against your scaly claws. You drop the prisoner onto a few of the villagers who break $hisher fall. $playerName: "Go tell your pathetic kingdom about $playerName! Tell them that it was by my grace that you live, and that it was by my fury your family and friends died!" Now, to finish destroying the village for your own twisted pleasure... [[Continue Destroying village]] <<set $prisonerHeld to false>>

You grasp the human ever so tightly. A little tighter and $hisher bones will snap like twigs. You can see the fear in $hisher eyes, as their breath escapes them. You loosen your grip, and just as they gulp down some air, you tighten your hold once more. You continue to torture the $princeprincess in front of the distraught villagers. Old Villager: "Please stop! Can't you see they are in so much pain?" $playerName: "You are correct old man, come to think of it, all this squeezing is making me hungry..." Before anyone could utter another word you envelop the $princeprincess in your maw and swallow $hisher body whole. Humans always made a great crunch as bones snapped. Perhaps you should consider this more often when you grow older. Elves probably taste even better. Not certain on dwarves cause of all their hair though... The villagers cried out in horror as you took off laughing and smacking your lips with the blood of the $princeprincess. Satisfied with imposing your utter dominace over these pathetic creatures, you head back to the village to truely raze it to the ground. [[Continue Destroying village]] <<set $prisonerHeld to false>>

Your ransom attempts are unsuccessful unfortuntately. Hmm... what to do with the prisoner? You could [[slay your prisoner|Kill important person and retreat]] to make an example of those that would defy you and then leave. You could [[continue destroying the village|Continue Destroying village]] to let out your rage. You could also [[leave with your prisoner|Retreat with important person]] If you think enough damage has already been done. Or if you're feeling really generous, you could [[leave your prisoner behind and go home|Retreat by yourself]].

As you fly over the town you see a few old men and women who had not been fast enough to escape your initial attack, but through sheer dumb luck had somehow survived. They wander around aimlessly, gazing at their once beloved town. Many of them wail as you fly over knocking down any remaining buildings. You leave the decrepit old bats to their frigid fate, and fly home.

You decide to take $himher. A $princeprincess would fetch a nice ransom sooner or later. You parents would love that not only did you destroy the village, but also brought home such a valuable prize! [[Return Home|Return Home(Victory)]]

The smell of brimstone and ash fill your nose, as you fly over smouldering Mt. Etna. The rivers of lava and bursts of flames would no doubt keep most beings away. Perhaps this was indeed an excellent place to create a new home for yourself. Your thoughts are interrupted by a cataclysmic roar from below. As you direct your gaze to ground below, you see the colossal frame of a Dragon writhing and heaving against large chains. The dragon's wingspan was that of your two parents combined. Its skin was shimmering as if it were made of obsidian. Its entire body was etched with intricate red patterns. His every bellow caused the air around you to vibrate, and his breath you could now tell was the source of the smell of brimstone you had sensed earlier. <<set $volcanoswamp to "volcano">> [[Approach the Dragon|Found chained ancient dragon]] <<audio "bgm_volcano" loop play>> <img src="assets/image/environment/Volcano.png" width ="800" height ="450" alt="Volcano"/>

The oddly layered smell of onions wafts into your nose, followed by the stagnation of the cool breeze you had been experiencing. You look down to see the sludgy and dreary expanse that is the Misthollow Swamps. It wasn’t a nice looking place, but it would definitely keep other beings out of your business. You continue flying around looking for a nice cave to call home when your search is interrupted by a cataclysmic roar from your right. As you direct your gaze there, you see the colossal frame of a Dragon writhing and heaving against large chains.The dragon's wingspan was that of your two parents combined. Its skin was a deep black as if it were made of onyx. Its entire body was etched with intricate purple patterns, and purple fumes arose from its mouth and nostrils. His every bellow caused the air around you to vibrate, and his breath you could now tell was the source of the smell of onions you had sensed earlier. <<set $volcanoswamp to "swamp">> [[Approach Dragon|Found chained ancient dragon]] <<audio "bgm_swamplands" loop play>> <img src="assets/image/environment/env_1.jpg" width ="300" height ="250" alt="swamplands"/>

Some of you wounds begin to ache, and your mind begins to race, as you contemplate all the potential threats that could be hidden in the caravan. You decide to not risk your life any further, and leave the prisoner behind. [[Return Home|Return Home(Defeat)]] <<audio "bgm_villageAttack" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>>

For your failures, you have been eternally banished from your home. What was once a reliable haven, had now become inhospitable to you. Your parents had forsaken you, but this is not the end. You are finally free to pursue any adventure you see fit. Pershaps it will be wise to head to the forest. You will show your parents that you can become a mighty dragon without their overbearing guidance. [[Leave for Adventure]]

As you fly around the forest for a bit, you see a clearing in the distance. There seems to be a little cluster of bolders and other small rocks. Descending down, you find a cave nearby. That should be interesting enough. [[Investigate|Cave Entrance]]

You enter the cave and see that the entrance to the cave is held up by a wooden support system in the form of an archway. There is a two-headed ogre ahead of you. The thick skinned two-headed ogre looks angry at you for invading its territory. It raises its club menacingly at you. It charges forward at you and you move to the side before it rams into a wooden beam near the entrance, supporting the archway. You can see bits and pieces of rubble shift from overhead. <<if $prisonerHeld is true>>You instruct the $princeprincess to stay out of harms way and not to run. $HeShe obediently obeys out of fear.<</if>>\ [[Bring it on Ogre|Ogre Fight]] <img src="assets/image/twoHeadedOgre.jpg" width ="300" height ="250" alt="twoHeadedOgre"/> <<audio "bgm_cave" loop play>> <<set $playerHP to 8>> <<set $ogreHP to 5>> <<timed 1s>><<audio "ogreSFX" play>><</timed>>

The black scales of the behemoth are nightmare black and you can see dark blood staining the ground near it. The creature looks aggrevated. It looks towards you and speaks. You can feel the ground vibrate. "Free me or I will end you sooner rather than later." [[Taunt the Dragon|Taunt]] - Its chained up anyways [[Free the Dragon|Free]] - Those chains don't look like they're going to hold... [[Flee]] - Let's pretend this didn't happen. <<if visited ("Travel to Swamplands")>><img src="assets/image/black/black_5.jpg" width ="300" height ="250" alt="ancientDragon"/> <<else>> <img src="assets/image/ChainedDragon.jpg" width ="1200" height ="800" alt="ancientDragon"/> <</if>>

You take some satisfaction in rattling out a few insults that you got from your brother at the chained dragon. "You have small scales. Barely a lizard." "Those teeth couldn't even hurt a dwarf." "Your mother was a gecko. An ugly one." "Even without the fire, your breath is killing me." "Are those wings or did a crow land on your back?" With a huge grin on your mouth, you make your leave. You can hear shouting from behind. "FOOLISH WHELP! You will pay for your insolence! I am a god, compared the mere wyrmling that you are!" The chains shake violently but seem to hold. You leave and decide to explore the nearby area. [[You stumble across a cave|Cave Entrance]] <<if visited ("Travel to Volcano")>> <<audio "bgm_volcano" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>> <<else>> <<audio "bgm_swamplands" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>> <</if>>

"You would choose to free me? Are you foolish or stupid or both? Or is it that you think it is the only way you will live? Very well, remove these chains quickly and you may yet live." Perhaps a game is in order. There lies a treasure nearby in a cave. Recover it quickly and I will let you live.

Turning around as fast as your wings will let you, you make for the skies. The dragon roars angerly at you but is seemingly powerless to stop you. The chains shake violently but it looks like it is not enough to break the creature from its prison. You decide to explore elsewhere to see if you can find anything else of interest. After a short while... [[You find a cave|Cave Entrance]] <<if visited ("Travel to Volcano")>> <<audio "bgm_volcano" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>> <<else>> <<audio "bgm_swamplands" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>> <</if>>

While flying to the cave mentioned by Foxglove, you quickly find a group of humans carrying weapons moving around. They seem to have noticed you but they are at quite a distance still. [[Befriend]] - You could try and talk with them... [[Hide and Follow]] - Or you could feign not to have seen them and follow them... [[Burn Them]] - Or end their fates now. [[Ignore Them|Cave Entrance]] <<audio "bgm_faerieDragon" volume 1.0 fadeoverto 10 0.0>>

The humans look scared as you descend upon them Human: “Stop or we'll shoot!” $playerName: “I don’t mean to trouble you, I am merely looking for a cave. I need a cure found within it.” Human: “Me and my companions are also looking for that cave, the mushrooms inside are needed to help our princess!” $playerName: “Lead me there and I will go in and retrieve the cure for us all!” Human: “If you don’t mind we will show you the way and then come back here. We worry about what is further into the forest. I would prefer to go home alive.” $playerName: “Very well…” [[Follow the humans to the cave|Cave Entrance]]

You stealthily follow the humans, keeping them in your sights. You feel your stomach fill with dread as they finally arrive and congregate around Foxglove’s tree. There you see them laughing and hunching over the body of your now dead friend. [[Burn Them]]

The human rangers begin screaming in anguish as your flame consumes their bodies. They were little match for the torrent of flame you unleashed. The dead body of your friend lies by the tree in which he lived, surrounded by the burnt corpses of the humans. You decided too... [[Cremeate]] [[Bury]]

You know as your Father’s voice rings out, that there would be no mercy to be found back home if you were to disobey them once more. You head towards the forest once more, in desperate need of your friend Foxglove, the Nimble. You come to a giant Sequoia tree, and see your friend poke his head out.

Dozens of merchants watched as their carts and wagons were flung across the square and smashed into splinters of wood.

King Cyrus: "Mighty $playerName, we thank you for coming to help the kingdom, my spymaster Edric will relay to you all the information his scouts have gathered." They outline several things about the orc army. First of all, the orcs have access to several ogres, and trolls. All of which were being led by the mighty storm giant Brokki, the Bane of Dragons. As well, the orcs are unlikely to have a complex strategy, but previous reports from other kingdoms the orcs have destroyed suggest the same tactic will be used. The orcs will split into three attacking groups with siege weaponry in each group. One group to the left will be composed of orcs warlocks protected by a small group of acolytes. These are the most dangerous to you. The central group will contain the brunt of the attack, with orc berserkers and the calvary riding direwolves. They will be unable to injure you until you get close to them. The third group will contain the elite guard as well as the orc commander. They have a group of archers as well, and may be able to injure you. [[Begin War Attack]]

You attack the orcs clad in crimson armor, among them stand a multitude of archers. An orc chieftain barks orders for the archers to shoot at you. You watch as their arrows blot out the faint winter sun, but your arrows deflect most of them. Any that do manage to catch provide you with short yet sharp pangs of pain. The crimson armored orcs charge but are met with the brunt of your tail swipe. The commander collapses to his knees, but can't utter any cries of mercy as you launch him into the air with the swing of your tail.

The battle was too much. You had let down $princeprincess, they would watch as their kingdom collapsed and burned at the hands of Brokki's horde. All your boasts and pride had amounted to nothing. Your name would forever be remembered in tandem with the defeat you suffered at the hands of Brokki. You return to your home, and lie their listening quietly to the weeping $princeprincess. Game end: $playerName lived out the rest of $hisher days with the $princeprincess until the $princeprincess died of old age. The kingdom had been wiped out by the orcs, who had now moved onto other conquests. The years went by and eventually a new force grew and defeated the orcs. In turn, that new power would crumble. Nothing ever changed. $playerName would attack whenever the boredom crippled $hisher will to live. $playerName live out the rest of $hisher days knowing that no one would ever speak of $playerName in high regard ever again.

Brokki, the Bane of Dragons stands over thirty feet high. The orcs around his feet look like ants. His body rippled with muscle, and you see bolts of electricity crackle all over him. In his hand he holds a bolt of lightning, which had no doubt brought the lives of many dragons to a crashing halt. <<set $stormGiantStance to random(1, 3)>> <<if $stormGiantStance == 1>>\ You can see Brokki is preparing to throw the bolt of lightning at you.

You crash into the ground, sending chunks of rock and soild into the orcs. Seeing your impact, the orcs surge towards you. Their numbers are too great, and the viciously begin to stab and hack at your limbs. You lose feeling in your wings, and slowly your vision begins to fade. You breathe fire into their ranks, killing hundreds, but still more surge forward. The chance to kill a dragon proving all the motivation they need. Your life begins to fade, and your last moments are filled with rage, but it all eventually leads to the impending darkness. Game over. (Strategy is important.

You try to manuever around, but your movement is sluggish and your head is starting to spin. You watch as the giant charges at you, unable to move he collides with you. You are launched through three siege towers, crushing hundreds of orcs. Unable to move you watch as the giant strides towards you. He reaches down and grasps your body with his hands. As you open your mouth to breathe your fire upon his face, you feel his hands grasp your upper and lower jaw, finding purchase in your gaping maw. Before your flame can escape your mouth, you see him rip your jaw apart. The pain you experience blinds you, and the world slips into black. GAME OVER.

You see Brokki wavering, his movement sluggish, and his head reeling. You charge into him, knocking him down to one knee. He looks up at you expecting to see flames envelope his body. Instead you swoop down and bite his his throat. You feel jolts of electricity as your teeth dig into his skin. His breath becomes wet gurgle, and you rip out his throat. His blue blood sprays onto your body, as he slumps into the ground crushing many of the retreating orcs. Any orc left alive flees, and you watch them do so.

You are still with Foxglove at this point, but no longer in the forest. You went to the far east of the forest. The surroundings outside of the forest, in this area, are pretty dusty and dry. You and Foxglove find a cave with ample size to fit both of you. It's a normal evening as you collect water from the river just north of the cave. The typical noises of the wilderness echoes out around you. As you continue to fill up on water, you hear a distinct rustle of wings. You quickly whip around to defend yourself... There, in front of you, were four dragons. They were travelling together it seems, and looked equally as surprised in seeing you as you were in seeing them. On the left, near an empty clearing beside a oak tree, were two dragons. To the left was a large tall male dragon. His scales were a ruby red in colour. His eyes were a deep blue. He intimidated you, but you had a feeling he was friendly. On the right was another male dragon. He looked about the same age as you, but was shorter. His scales were dark brown, like the bark of the trees around you. His wings had a pale yellow colour on the inside. His eyes were dark brown. Unlike the dragon on the left, he was smiiling, and seemed curious about you. In front of these dragons were two dragons which you observed to be female. The dragon on the left had a white pattern near her stomach area, but the rest of the dragon was the colour of a peach. Her eyes were a deep blue. Her wings were large, just like her height. Her ears in particular amused you as they were pointy. The last dragon had scales which were a whitish purple. You were reminded of the color of a flashing surge of lightning when you looked at her. It was shorter than you in height, but still formidable. Its eyes were a deep, grass green. The demeanor of the dragon stunned you. [[Continue|Chosen Dragon]]

--Decades later-- The isolation of your home had warped your mind. You hungered for more power. Alone with your thoughts you realized that you would have to shape the world into what you wanted. The world would never accept who you are, it was pointless to change yourself. The time has come where your power has now been fully realized.

I once met him playing Dragonchess. Have you ever played Dragonchess? The game requires you to think five steps ahead of your opponent, and he is a champion. Do not take him to be a kindly man, his old age has made him haggard and cruel. He forces his students to play Dragonchess, just to see the look of dissapointment when they lose. Do not fight him, for him you are just another opponent to dissapoint." $playerName: "Hah! Five turns ahead you say? He will fall into the same trap every other human I have encountered.

A wizard is always prepared, when you finally chose to fight me face to face, it was already hopeless. All you dragons are the same, always with the breath attacks, claws and biting. Well, I would like to say this will be painless, but then I would be lying..." He twirls his cane and your body seizes up.

As the first morning light pierced the dark entrance of your cave, you realized that adventure would not always come to your doorstep.

Your army has carved out much of the world for your empire. Many dragons have fled your ever growing power. There is one dragon that stands in defiance to your rule, a true challenger. Ancalagon, the Apocalypse as an ancient dragon will not stand idly by as you subjagate the known world. He has sent an emissary challenging you to a duel. That would be also mean no minion interference. A pity, considering the forces you command.

In a duel Ancalagon could potentially defeat you, as he is an ancient dragon. However, you have at your disposal the largest army to have ever been assembled. As he approaches, you grin. Before he can notice you, your troops fire a thousand scorpian bolts at his wings. The sheer number of them overwhelm him, as some find their mark. Ancalagon plummets to the ground, sending hundreds of your troops flying through the air alongside chunks of rocks and dirt. You quickly swoop down and land on his throat. You feel his pulse quicken as your claws dig into his fleshy neck. He tries to utter some words, perhaps some sage words of wisdom, or perhaps how you chose the easy route. It doesn't matter anymore, as you wipe your claws clean of his blood, you stand among your army unchallenged. [[Age of Dragons]] <<set $playerName to $playerName + ", The Ruthless">> (Title unlocked!

Around the lake you see four dragons, all of different color. You begin descending onto the lake. Talk to: [[Silver Scales]] [[Red Scales]] [[Golden Scales]] [[Purple Scales]] Or if you've decided, select a mate: [[Selecting Mate]]

You approach the dragon with gleaming silver scales. She glances over at you. $playerName: "Hello, I am $playerName! I have come a long way to see the lake, and let me tell you it isn't the most beautiful thing I see right now." Fradret: "Well aren't you a charmer. I am knkown as Fradret You have quite the wingspan. Your parents must have been enormous!" $playerName: "My parents are quite large and fearsome, and let me tell you, I am no different!" Fradret: "I hope not, with those formidable claws and teeth, you make for quite the imposing figure!" You continue talking to Fradret, you notice that she is quite taken with you. You lose track of time conversing with her, and before you know it the sun is already setting. [[Search For Mate]]

You approach the dragon with the dark purple scales. She glances over at you. $playerName: "Hello, I am $playerName! Whoa! Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?" Frayloi: "Hahahahaha! That was hiliarious, you should really go the court of some pathetic human king and work as his jester! By the way, I'm Frayloi." $playerName: "Wow, I realize that was bad, but you don't have to be so rude!" Frayloi: "Hah! Did my words prick you? One would think you have a tougher personality behind those massive claws and teeth." You continue talking to Frayloi, you notice that she is quite candid. You have trouble talking to her without being put in your place. While her rough attitude is off putting, you also find it to be refreshing. It's hard to find someone who can be so forward. Perhaps getting to know her over a more intimate setting would warm her up to you. [[Search For Mate]]

You approach the dragon with gleaming red scales. He glances over at you. $playerName: "Hello, I am $playerName! And I have to ask, are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you everyone else disappears!" Xeni: "Well aren't you clever. They call me Xeni. I suppose that line has worked on a dozen others before hasn't it? Why else would you use such a tired line on me?" $playerName: "I apologize for being so forward. I get nervous when meeting new dragons." Xeni: "That's odd, with those formidable claws and teeth you make for quite the imposing figure. What would make you nervous?" You continue talking to Xeni, you notice that he is quite guarded and you have a hard time keeping a conversation going. Each passing minute seems to be an eternity with him, as awkward pauses become all to frequent. Perhaps if you could get to know him in a more intimate setting. [[Search For Mate]]

You approach the dragon with golden scales. He glances over at you. $playerName: "Hello, I am $playerName! And I have to ask, what time do you have to be back in heaven?" Ayllon: "Oh my! I do enjoy such a confident deameanor. You have quite the silver tongue! You may address me as Ayllon." $playerName: "Yes, my quick wit is often lost on beings. These large cumbersome wings often frighten them away I'm afraid." Ayllon: "Quite right! With those formidable claws and teeth you make for quite the imposing figure, but I'm not too scared to get to know you better." You continue talking to Ayllon, you notice that he is quite taken with you. You lose track of time conversing with him, and before you know it the sun is already setting. Your laughter echoes through the mountains, as you both crack numerous jokes and discuss all sorts of embarassing and humorous stories. [[Search For Mate]]

This date is a big deal. You remember what your parents said. Thay had only gone on one date before becoming mates. It is important that you don't mess this up! You talk to $mate and agree to meet up in two weeks time. This gives you ample time to get your act together, and woo them.

You explore <<print either("the ruins of an ancient lich's dungeon", "an abandoned castle filled with simple monsters", "a long forgotten stronghold of a powerful necromancer")>>.

Your date preparation was obviously lacking, as you now wallow in your self-pity. Perhaps cleaning up your act instead of lazing about may have helped in wooing $mate. But alas, you have failed. $mate left for another dragon, and you grew old and grouchy by yourself. You destroyed many villages, amassed a reasonable hoard of treasure and had many kobold servants, but it just wasn't the same. You lived the rest of your days out and eventually succumbed to a form of Wing Rot, forgotten by the rest of society.

You realize that you look like a mess. Living in a forest cave with Foxglove has led to you acruing quite the grimey exterior. You bathe in the lake for a day. Upon leaving it you realize that not only do you look cleaner, but you also feel more rejuvenated!

The date went off without a hitch, and what's more, you and $mate seem to madly in love! You and $mate begin flying back to the forest. You realize that over the course of getting to know $mate, you have become more than just mates. You have become friends. The rest of your life will be just adventurous as these last two weeks with $mate in your life. Game Complete! See if you can find the other three major endings! <<audio "winSFX" play>>

You and Foxglove join with Nasial and (his/her) friends and converse and hangout for the next few months. It's nice to have more dragons to talk to. You get particularly close with Nasial, and realize that you both have a lot in common. Both of you left behind mighty parents to make a name for yourselves, but realized in the process how important friendship it. While the others messed about, you and Naisal had more intimate conversations, and took solace in each other's company. One particular day you meet Naisal at a rocky outcrop near the river. $playerName: "You know, the more I talk to you, the more I am falling in love with you." Naisal: "Oh $playerName! I have never felt so content in my life before! I too wish to spend the rest of my days with you." Before you could reciprocate Naisal's feelings, you hear a loud crashing noise, as you look to your left to see two large dragons plummet through the trees. (Shardul Source Material) Over the next few months, you hung out with the group of dragons almost every day. You even got Foxgrove, who normally was pretty intorverted, to come to the river at times and interact with the group. You got particularly close with [dragon chosen by player name]. You got to know [dragon chosen by player name] extremely well, and vice versa. You found out they were very a interesting dragon, who had a nice and loyal personality. You two often hung out by a tall, willow tree. While the rest of your group was having fun or flying off somewhere, you two would just talk and be playful with each other. Sometimes, you two flew to the river alone, regardless if the rest of your group was coming or not. Both of you had even admitted to having feelings of love for each other. A deep bond had been formed. One fine day, at dawn, you and [dragon chosen by player name] were all alone at a rocky covering near the river. You two had decided the previous day to meet at this time. Thoughtfully, you tell her "You know, I really love you [dragon chosen by player name]. The more I get to you, the less I am afraid to open up to you. You know me - in the past I have never been like this, always cynical". "Yes, I know" [dragon chosen by player name] replied, smiling and looking at you. "I-" before [she/he] could finish two dragons roaring and flying down near the river caused a loud noise. [[Run away]] [[Watch]]

You flee from the scene, as these two dragons are massive in stature. Two of the would be too much for you and Naisal. Their appearence reminded you of the ancient dragon Ancalagon. Upon returning later, you find one of the dragons slain by the crash site. Massive black bolts are buried deep in the dragon's heart. The other dragon you find a few hundred feet away, also slumped over. Beside it you see a gleaming black egg. The texture was that of obsidian, and as you grabbed it, you could feel the steady beating of a tiny little heart within. (SHardul Source Material) ***Write short story of them running away (Neither of you can interfere because the dragons fighting are massive, strong dragons like the earlier ancient dragon. They will just die if they interfere), coming back the next day. One of the dragon is slain. When you inspect, you find eggs under her*** [[Take eggs and raise dragon babies as their own]] [[Leave the eggs]]

You and Naisal bring the egg back to your suprised friends. While the others were not cut out to be parents, your time with Naisal allow ed the both of you to nurture and care for the egg. The day the egg hatched you and Naisal watch closely as months of your care came to fruition. The egg cracked open, and from it you watch a tiny jet black maw burp out a tiny purple flame.

You and Naisal both hide and watch as the dragons lumber around for abit before succumbing to their wounds. Realizing they were not much of a threat, you and Naisal emerge from your hiding place. Dragon: "Wait...please...don't leave..." $playerName:"What is it? What did this to you?" Dragon:"That doesn't matter...they are dead now...but my child...you have to help my child..." You watch as the dragon in its death throes gestures to a gleaming obsidian like egg. (Shardul Source Material) ***Write short story of $playerName and [dragon chosen by player] hiding behind the rocky covering and watching them fight to the death. Neither of you can interfere because the dragons fighting are massive, strong dragons like the earlier ancient dragon. They will just die if they interfere. Describe the fight. One of them dies, and it is not until you inspect and wait for the other dragon to go away you find dragon eggs.*** [[Take eggs and raise dragon babies as their own]] [[Leave the eggs]]

You and Naisal always wonder why you left the egg. Perhaps it was because you were afraid of being bad parents. Perhaps it would force you and Naisal into a commitment you were not ready for. In your fear you had condemned the tiny little egg to death. A choice that will haunt you for the rest of your lives.
