Tables are here. It is fixed in place. The description is " The tables are very orinate. The legs are carved to look like angels holding up the table. Papers are piled on the tables." 

Papers are here. The description is "There are only three papers with text on them and you can read it. Yet you don't ever remember learning this language. The letters are strange. The papers contain gibberish about magic, prophecies, and recipes." 

A demon statue is here. It is fixed in place. The description is " The statue is monsterous. it's horns twist and turn around it's head. It's teeth are sharp and it's eyes dark." 

An angel statue is here. It is fixed in place. The description is " The statue is beautiful. It's wings expand out. It's very stoic and posed as if it's defending it's side of the room from the demon on the otherside." 

The Angel Door is a door. It is west of the library. It is closed. Through it is the Angel Room. The description is " The door has an angel on the door. Below it is the mysterious language craved into the door. You begin to read it, [italic type] This is home to horns, to the evil that lies below. Is this your home?"

The Angel Room is a room. The description is " The room feels strange. There is nothing in it besides a halo sitting on the ground."

A halo is here. The description is " It is gold and very pretty. Something inside you really want you to pick it up but another part of you doesn't."

After taking the halo:
	end the story saying "The halo gives you a strange feeling. Memories pass before your eyes. You remember, this was not your path. This was the test and you failed. Your purpose was not to be an angel but to destory the fallen angel that left you locked in that library for thousands of years. The halo latches around your neck and tightens. The halo chokes the last bit of life from your body. The End"

The Demon Door is a door. It is north of the library. It is closed. Through it is the Demon Room. The description is " The door has a demon on the door. Below it is the mysterious language craved into the door. You begin to read it, [italic type] This is home to horns, to the evil that lies below. Is this your home?"

The Demon Room is a room. The description is " This room holds a very orinate throne room. On the throne is a crown of bone and jewels. The room feels like home, or at least a home you have always wanted. You cannot sit on the throne until you pick up the crown."

A throne is here. This is fixed in place. The description is "The throne is made of bone and sculls. All the scull's eyes are encrusted with jewels. Yet it isn't scary, the throne is made up to look quite regal and not very barbaric as most would think. You cannot sit on the throne until you pick up the crown." 

The throne is an enterable supporter.

A crown is here. The description is "You look at the crown. It's made of sharp bone and jewels are imedded into it. You find it beautiful, and it feels like something you have always wanted."

After taking the crown:
	say "You can't help but be tempted to try it on. You pick it up and place it on your head. In that moment all your memories come flooding back. You are filled with determined purpose. The statues were not demons, at least not completely. They were fallen angels first. You were not born into such a kind, therefore you could never take what you feel you deserved. Your father rejected you as a successor, for fear of a prophecy that you would take his throne by force. So he locked you away in a library with no exits. Once you escaped you were well educated and your plan ready to inpliment. You created an army. You killed a Arch Angel, stole his essence and fell.  Faling made you worthy to take your father's throne. You battled him and won."
	
After entering the throne:
	end the story finally saying "It was time to take your throne. You sit down and you awaken from your last test. You look upon your army from your throne and smile. They shout,[italic type] All Hail Helaina, Queen of Hell. The End"

The Human Door is a door. It is east of the library. It is closed. Through it is the Human Room. The description is " The door has a normal person on the door. Below it is the mysterious language craved into the door. You begin to read it, [italic type] This is home to horns, to the evil that lies below. Is this your home?"

The Human Room is a room. The description is " This room has nothing in it besides a doll."

A doll is here. The description is " The doll gives you no interest. You don't even feel like picking it up. It doesn't even feel like an option to you."
After taking the doll:
	end the story saying "Yet you pick up the doll anyways. You start to feel the strange and the walls become mirrors. You start to remember that you have lived over thousands of years. Being human was not what you wanted. You are starting to age rapidly. All your years of immortality are being taken from you. You turn to a pile of dust before you can even remember your purpose in this place. The End"
