The Hillside is a room. The description of the Hillside is "You are actively fighting to stay conscious as you stagger up the dark and snowy mountain. The frigid violent wind batters you, choking the air out of your lungs, exhausting any hope of reaching the top. Every fiber of your being is in agony, but not just physically. Deep down, you can't help but wonder if the reason you came up this mountain was to die.[Paragraph Break]Each step is harder than the last, but the only option you have left is to go north, up towards the summit of this dreadful mountain." The Summit is north of The Hillside. The description of the Summit is "You nearly crawl down a mound of snow, but the peak of the mountain lies in front of you. Emptiness in your eyes and desperation in your heart, devoid of any ambition, you are pulled into the hypnotizing darkness. A grove of ash covered spruce trees loom over you, watching you. You get lost looking up into the trees, searching for the pale moon peeking through the branches.[Paragraph Break]Up ahead a white beam of light shines into the white snow, beckoning you northward." The Beam of Light is north of The Summit. The description of the Beam of Light is "You collapse into the light, pressing your face against the cold hard snow. The wind stops, and all you can hear is your shaky and labored breathing. You sink your arms and legs into the floor, letting your body rest. As the light glares down on you, you can't help but feel wrapped by its embrace.[Paragraph Break]As the light watches over you, it sees your pain, and your body drifts off to an eternal sleep, and you hear a voice calling you to ascend.[Paragraph Break]Ascend...[Paragraph Break]Ascend...[Paragraph Break]Finally, you arise. The cold wind blows through you, and you glare up to the sky and see ghastly figures soaring above you.[Paragraph Break]They all fly north." The Cliffside is north of The Beam of Light. The description of the Cliffside is "Through a clearing in the trees, you leave your body behind and follow the spirits to a cliffside overlooking your home. The little lights of the village houses are feeble compared to the cold yellow moon. You remember as a child that the mountain was a symbol of freedom and adventure, but now it is where you took your last breath. A feeling of sorrow and regret grows inside of you, for you abandoned everything that you loved.[Paragraph Break]Desperation lies in front of you, and you yearn to grasp it." Desperation is in The Cliffside The description of Desperation is "You reach out and take a hold of desperation. The wind starts blowing aggressively and you begin to hover and glide over the ground. A vision of your family appears in front of you.[Paragraph Break] Your father is working, wishing he could have been there with you making memories, while he was wasting his life away at his job.[Paragraph Break] Your brother is drowning and smoking his feelings away in the abandoned abbey you used to build forts in.[Paragraph Break] Your mother is crying.[Paragraph Break] Your home is east, and you feel a string pulling at your heart."
