You realize that vanishing into a crowd is your best bet and decide to head for the busy market.

But a pervasive air of unreality seems to follow you. Futuristic devices appear to mesh seamlessly with medieval structures. Regular villagers coexist with silhouettes that barely look three-dimensional.

You take a deep breath.

In the distance, you hear the faint sounds of a lute — reminding you of Death’s games. That he’s always toying with you.

Reminding you that you’re still on the run.

Suddenly a muffled voice can be heard calling out for you.

“Come quick! You’ll be safe here!”

Choices:

1. Say “Who are you?”
2. Investigate the source of the voice.
3. Ignore the voice and keep running.
