CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER 5




Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.

Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?

Snow!

Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.

Of their wishes.

Who will try to reach their wish this time?

[[Welcome to Week 5! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

Oh, well. I did try to back away from the mirror when it was shimmering and it sucked me in anyway.

[ His first impulse is to run away when strange things happen no matter what. ]

But I think I'll do my best on that for the rest of the week...

[ Valid instinct, in this situation. ]

That it wouldn't let you leave just speaks to the fact that they are best avoided entirely. Whatever creature you encountered in there does not sound benevolent.

[ Just thinking about that creature makes him shiver. ]

.... Yes, I really doubt that it is. It sounds like the type of creature to thrive off of suffering. To offer their assistance and take something away from their being as a price.

"Selling your soul", as it were. I remember thinking of that kind of devil's pact on our first day here.

Because of all the magic?

[ He's sure some of the others thought of such things too...well probably except the kids. ]

...I guess it doesn't care how early it can trick people into doing that sort of thing.

It's just a story... is what I would normally say, but with a place like this there is no 'just' about it.

...No, there isn't.
