Keep Right, take two lefts.
You are awoken by the sound of tapping on your window. Getting out of bed, you head towards the window. Looking out, you see a woodpecker tapping in a rhythmic pattern.
Open window?
Yes/No
Yes
Opening the window, the little bird hops in. You turn around when you hear the sound of frantic flapping of wings heading in your direction. You move out of the way just in time.
You see your friend, Robin, who had just crash landed into your room, swiftly dust himself off. Should you ask if they are ok?
Yes/No
Yes
You ask Robin if they are okay.
“Oh! I’m fine, sorry for crashing in like that. I’m just trying to get adjusted to flying at higher altitudes. Did you know this place is on a mountain? And there’s a lake in the centre of that forest nearby? And- oh, I'm just rambling now.”
As you listen to Robin tell what he saw before he fell, you notice the bird hops onto his shoulder and turns into a wooden woodpecker. You ask how they did that.
“Hmm? The woodpecker was a gift from...
You tell them that they don’t have to tell you if he doesn’t want to. You Look the paper he’s passed toward you. Reading it, you notice that there was some cryptic text.
“Do you have any clue what it says? I would have stopped by later but… we’re already here soooo.
You ask them if they have a phone, and if so, can you have his number so you can contact him. They respond by taking it out. He gives you his number.
[ you added a new contact!]
“You can keep the note ‘Ray”
[You Acquired a new nickname!]
[You add the note to your inventory!]
As you thank him for the note, you noticed they were walking back to the window. You ask him why they are going to the window. Instead of responding, he opens the window and jumps, giving you a small heart attack for a second, before shooting up in the air and flying away.
“See ya ‘Ray”
It just now occurred to you that you never asked him how he had known where you lived.
---------------------------------------
Walking out, You run into one of your brothers, Tymmi. Without saying a word, he grabbed your hand and dragged you to the edge of the forbidden forest. You ask him what’s going on.
“Tyler Is In There!!
Without hesitation, you ran into the forest, telling Tym to get dad, and when looking for the older of the two brothers.
You soon hear them calling out for Tym. You went over and picked him up, with a look of relief and anger on your face. You scold him, telling them that they weren’t supposed to be in the forest.
“S-sorry Koray… I-i Just Thought I Heard Someone Within Here And I Wanted To See What/Who It Was."
You let out a sigh. As you pat his head, you notice one of the bushes shook a bit.
“What are the two of you doing here? And this far in the forest?”
You jumped, getting startled by the studden voice of Faith. When you turn to face them, you get a glimpse of their eyes. You notice that Faith’s eyes were two solid colours.
“w-who was that ..?!”
You remember that you had introduced them to faith before, but figured that it was too dark out for Tyler to see them clearly.
“Ello Ty. You should head home now.”
“Okie!!"
Tyler, who originally had your t-shirt tightly in his grasp, is now looking at Faith with aw and admiration. You nearly forgot how much he admired them. He took a few steps towards faith. You noticed that he whispers something into Faith’s ear, something that makes Faith smile from ear to ear.
“Welp, we should be heading back now, shall we?”
—----------------------------------------
As much as you are just as glad as your family about Tyler’s safe return, you let out a sigh as you happen to overhear that your older sister is coming, having heard the news. You know it’s been a while since anyone has seen her, noting that she left the town to go to a college so she can study medicine, but you didn’t want her coming over, stopping her studies, for stuff like this. You could try to change her mind, but you remember how stubborn she was, and rendered it pointless.
She was going to be here, whether or not you like it. And fortunate, I was ok with it. For some reason though, a thought passed through your head, making you shudder. You hated the icy chill of it. It made no sense. “What if Faith is not ok with that?”
