Destiny

In the dark forest, you get lost and walk into an ''[[old castle]]'' that seems to have been abandoned for a long time (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[<img src="https://louise-jiayihe.github.io/twine-project/images/castle.jpg" width="80%"> ] (after:2s)[{(set: $event to (random: 1, 2))} (if: $event is 1)[You look around the castle and feel a little afraid] (elseif: $event is 2)[You feel a force calling you deeper into the castle]]

There, you see a boy who looks no more than a teenager and a woman in her early twenties wearing a dark green cheongsam (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[<img src="https://louise-jiayihe.github.io/twine-project/images/ao01.jpg" width="50%"> ] (after:5s)[They are not surprised by your unexpected intrusion] (after:10s)[The boy picks up his coffee cup and says (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[<img src="https://louise-jiayihe.github.io/twine-project/images/onikiri01.jpg" width="20%"> ]] (after:15s)[(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(text-style:"bold","rumble")["Here you are.

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(text-style:"bold","rumble")[“Who am I?

Since you're willing to stay, I'll tell you our story, and maybe I can find the key to bring Onikiri back in the only memory I have left (after:5s)[We come from a world of human and spirits symbiosis. The demons and spirits have become regular visitors to the human’s world. Meanwhile, there are powers in the human world called "Onmyoji", who can conscript spirits and establish contracts with them.

{(set: $memory to false)}

No, I didn't. I told him I wanted to hear his story, and if his story touched me, I would let him go to Night Mountain (after:5s)[(text-colour:orange)[ So，did the [[Onikiri’s story]] move you?]] (after:10s)[I don't remember.

Onikiri was the most powerful demon-slayer of the Minamoto clan. Silent and just, he believed in, protected, and respected Minamoto no Yorimitsu with all his life. He was with Minamoto no Yorimitsu when he faced a fatal attack from the great monster of Mt. Oe. However when he cut off Ibaraki Doji's demonic arm, he discovered an astonishing truth about his lost power (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[<img src="https://louise-jiayihe.github.io/twine-project/images/onikiristory.gif"> ]

He burned his soul, broke through the Dark Seimei’s enchantment, and tried to take me away (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[<img src="https://louise-jiayihe.github.io/twine-project/images/onikirifight.gif"> ] (after:5s)[You don’t expect this] (after:7s)[You ask Aandou, "And [[after that]]?]
