Mana

The wind hisses as you tear yourself from Mana. Unable to recall memories of past yet small visions appear. Blurred and devoid of meaning. You get the feeling your body has laid in these blessed waters for decades. Your eyes do not adjust. You feel the energy flow through you from the waters. Mana. This is known as fact. But why? Even your name escapes you. [[Lay within the waters->lay in water]] [[Stand up->stand up]]

Your bodies muscle ache as they flow with Mana. You can feel it pulsing in your veins aiding you. Calling you to action. As Mana flows so does your vision. It returns only to show you the darkness that looms all around. The Mana within the waters pulse with dim light in tune with the rhythm of your thumping heart. [[Walk straight into the darkness->walk into darkness]] [[Close your eyes and listen->listen]]

You walk forward and the darkness consumes you. The pounding of your heart your only companion. Each step builds anticipation. You freeze. A memory flows through you. A statue stands before you with open arms as if to embrace. Then it beginning to split in half as the vision ends. You feel cold inside as the Mana within you begins to recoil. Is it reacting to your anticipation or something else? You get an urge to look at your hand and get the feeling your missing something. [[Continue foward->statue first]] [[Turn back->turn back from darkness]]

As you lay there you feel the echo of your heart resonating in the water. You feel the ebb on flow of power washing over you. So familiar. You've been here before. Many times. [[Stand up->stand up]]

You close your eyes letting your other senses awaken. You feel a light breeze caress your skin. It comes from the darkness to your right. You also start to hear something from your left. Sounds like whispers. [[Walk towards the wispers->whisper]] [[Follow the breeze->wind]]

As you walk silently you bump into something. A felling of déjà vu and dread fall upon you. You squint your eyes and see the outline of a figure before you. You feel the Mana pore out of your body and the figure split open down the middle. All the Mana within begins to syphon into the statue. You fall to your knees unable to move. Your body becomes numb. Your mind begins to fade. And your heart slows. You fall to darkness once more. [[Play Again->start after statue death]]

You feel the pull of the waters. You decide to withdraw back to its protection. The dim light of the Mana Pool warms you. You can feel its energy pulsing with your heart. It seems alive. [[Walk back into the dark->walk into darkness]] [[Close your eyes and listen to the dark->listen]]

As you travel in the dark you feel the breeze became stronger as to ward you off. You begin to see a small flame fighting against the wind. Defiant. Behind the flame is a golden horn on a stand. The horn somehow emits wind. But how? [[Pick up the horn->pick up horn]] [[Retreat to the pool->return from wind]]

Your curiosity overwhelms you. You begin your journey to find the origin of the whispers. So many different voices. So quiet. What could they be saying. A torched burst to life in front of you. Above it a plate hovers with an object. A metallic orb of some kind. You can hear the whispers coming from within. As you approach, you feel no heat from the ghostly fire but a nice warmth from the orb. [[Pick it up->pick up orb]] [[Turn back->return from whisper]]

You reach out your hand to pick up the orb. Its warmth, so inviting. As you inspect, it hits you. The whispering symphony becomes clear. They warn. Dozens of screams warning not to touch. To run. You hear a scream clearer than the rest only to discover that it's yours. You feel the orb slowly melt into your palm. Black veins, like tendrils spread up your arm. You feel it consume the Mana within. What have you done? You collapse as the mind fades to darkness once more. Yet this time you wake. Feeling a pain beyond the physical pulsing in your arm. The mark of the Orca branded on your palm. This you remember. The mark of the living plague. You must escape before it consumes you from within. [[Retreat to the pool. Maybe the mana can help ease your pain->return to pool after orb]] [[Fight through the pain and walk forth into the dark->walk into darkness after orb]]

You pour some of your mana within the horn. A burst of wind shoots out pushing you to the floor and cracking the horn. Such power. As you get up you feel tired and drained.
