The air is thick with the smell of decay and the sound of distant howls echoes through
the trees.

To your north is a winding path that leads deeper into the forest.
To your south is an imposing cave that could lead you onward or possibly be your downfall.

What would you like to do?'

'you stumble upon an ancient statue of a warrior in a defensive stance.
In its hand is a glowing amulet. It seems to be the amulet of light you've been searching for.

You're just about to grab it when it suddenly turns into a demonic entity.
Its eyes glow with an unearthly light and its mouth opens to reveal a row of sharp teeth.

It lets out a shrill scream and pounces, aiming right for your throat.
What would you like to do?'

The demon picks it up, and with a maniacal laugh, he uses it to banish the darkness and

It appears that the forest is once again at peace, and thanks to your efforts, the
amulet of light will keep it that way for many years to come.

You may die, but you have died a hero.

Congratulations, you have won the game!'
