In the rather quaint and isolated farming community of Mellow Meadows, cradled on the small planet of Planet Six, life was beautifully simple. For eons, the denizens of this area had lived in harmony with the land, the celestial dance of the sun and moon their only clock, the turning of the seasons their calendar.\n\nNow, as another day begins on Planet Six, what will you choose to do?\n<img src="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1153173809751392376/1201955976417116282/maybe_A_peaceful_farming_village_CGI_Picture_Happy_008629e1-2921-4d23-9241-7087cba11d61.png?ex=65cbb3bc&is=65b93ebc&hm=e256a112f249b8b3839efa22e823376cfb01a451187952e2d87c93b7beef759d&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=591&height=591" width="256" height="256">\n\n<<if not $fieldsDone>>[[Start a day in the fields|Fields][$fieldsDone = true]]<<endif>>\n<<if not $marketDone>>[[Help at the local market|MeadowsMarket][$marketDone = true]]<<endif>>\n<<if not $explorationDone>>[[Go out for exploration|Exploration][$explorationDone = true]]<<endif>>

\nWith a variety of produce from your farm, you setup the stall. The locals appreciate the quality of your goods and you spend the day exchanging stories and laughs with other vendors and customers. As evening falls, you pack up the remaining items and head back home.\n\n[[Return to the house|start]]

You bring a basket full of your best farm produce to the market. There, you barter with the vendors, exchanging your goods for the supplies and items you need at home. The art of barter, alive and well on Planet Six, unfolds before you. After a day of successful trades, you head back home.\n\n[[Return to the house|start]]

:: ForestEntry\nThe forest is abundant with berry bushes, an artist's palette of colors dotting the verdant landscape. Vibrant reds, pinks, and purples decorate the thick foliage. As you approach, you notice that the air has become sweet with the fragrance of ripe berries. Some are soft and juicy, belying their readiness while others are still hard, hinting at their tartness.\n\n[[Collect berries from the abundant bushes|CollectBerries]]\n[[Continue on the path of the river|ForestBuildings]]

:: CollectBerries\nYou stroll towards a patch of berry bushes nearby. A medley of bright berries hang tantalizingly from the branches, ripe for the picking. The sunbathed afternoon passes quietly as you gather a generous bounty in your basket.\n\n[[Relish a quick bite of the fresh berries|BerriesBite]]\n[[Continue towards the buildings with your collected berries|ForestBuildings]]

Guided by the melodious hum of a river nearby, you continue your journey deeper into the heart of the forest. The path becomes narrower and the trees become denser, their branches suffused with droplets of water that reflect the little sunlight, producing iridescent patters that dance around you. Suddenly, the forest clears out to reveal a small cluster of glumite buildings resting by the river—structures so old that they seem to be a part of the forest itself. Then you contuine on your path and find a golden statue.\n\n[[Investigate one of the tall glumite buildings|Captial]]\n

:: BerriesBite\nYou decide to taste one of the berries. Sweet, luscious flavors burst on your tongue, and soon, you find yourself eating more. However, a strange drowsiness descends upon you, and you realize too late that the berries might have had a mild soporific effect. Unwillingly, you give into the need for rest.\n \nWhen you wake, a quick glance at the sky tells you that roughly four hours have passed. You gather your belongings and make the decision to head towards the capital city, a lengthy journey, but one that promises rich reward.\n\n[[Proceed towards the capital city|Captial]]

You walk down the path and find yourself in the captial of Planet Six. Architectural marvels tower around you under the vast alien sky, while crowds move through the streets with purpose and vigor. \n\nEverywhere you look, there's life, from the planet's indigenous creatures to the diverse interstellar travelers that pass by. The city's mix of history and innovation, tradition and progress, is palpable in the air, as are the sounds and smells of a hundred different kinds of food being sold by merchants.\n\nBut where to next? Always onward, of course. Yet, in which direction?\n\n[[Seek information at the stately city's info hub|InfoHub]]\n[[Go and see your grandmother in the city|Wisdom]]

You step inside the extensive InfoHub - the city's melting pot of knowledge. Here, exprimental magical holographic maps flutter and swirl, live feeds from all corners of the city flicker, and interactive databases offer a wealth of data on the history, culture, and laws of Planet Six.\n\nThis place is a testament to the technological prowess of this civilization. Workers and wizards alike are keen to help, providing information and answering questions from locals, newcomers, and tourists.\n\n[[Learn about Emergency Shelter |ShelterInfoHub]]\n[[Find out about the local rules and regulations|CityRules]]\n[[Learn about local customs |Customs]]\n[[How to build in Planet Six Part 1]]\n[[Return|Captial]]

Your grandmother settles into her seat, her eyes distant yet sharp. She begins to recount a story from her youth, a cataclysm event that has gone down in the annals of planetary history: The Cosmic Bloom.\n\n"Many cycles ago," she starts, her voice taking on a reverent tone, "when I was just a sapling like you, we experienced something magnificent. The sky turned myriad hues, from the deepest purples to the brightest golds. The stars appeared to bloom, only to condense and shimmer. That was the Cosmic Bloom."\n\nEvery person, every creature on Planet Six, had to deal with the Bloom's consequences. The cosmic event triggered realignments in the magnetic fields, causing vast disruptions. The Biospheres were in their early stages of development then, and many failed under the strain of fluctuating energy.\n\n"But it was the Glumite," she continues, her eyes sparkling, "that truly revealed its wonder. Reacting to the cosmic radiations, the Gloamite across the city began to hum, glowing vibrantly. Homesteads, structures, even the smallest shard of Gloamite bathed the city in an ethereal light, guiding us through the Bloom."\n\nAs your grandmother's story concludes, you understand the resilience this city has shown in the face of cosmic challenges, learning from its past and preparing for its future. You realize it's not just a city of magical marvel, but also a city of growth, adaptation, and unity.\n\n[[Go out and apply the wisdom you've gained|Capital2]]\n

One of the workers directs you to a section of the InfoHub dedicated to the city's rules and regulations. A detailed code of conduct unfolds before you, articulating guidelines for visitors and residents alike. \n\nWhile some rules mirror those that you're accustomed to from other communities in the universe - like respecting others' property and maintaining public cleanliness, others are unique to Planet Six. For instance, a rule of not harvesting the golden zinkifruits without permission due to their ecological importance.\n\n\nYou make mental notes of these rules to ensure your stay in the city is harmonious and respectful.\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub's main area |InfoHub]]\n

In a corner of the extensive InfoHub, you discover a dedicated section for emergency services. An interactive module offers information about emergency protocols, important contact details, and location of shelters in the city.\n\nThe emergency shelters, it seems, are well-equipped and strategically scattered throughout the city. They are designed to provide immediate safety and support in case of a range of emergencies, be it a sudden severe storm or an unforeseen collision of spaceships in the city's airspace.\n\nKnowing their locations provides a comforting layer of safety as you navigate through the vast, unfamiliar capital. You commit a few crucial locations to memory, just in case.\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub's main area |InfoHub]]\n

A large magical exhibit catches your eye in the InfoHub - it's titled "Traditions and Customs of Planet Six". Here, you learn about the practices that color the daily life and special occasions in the city.\n\nOne such custom is the daily "Sundown Pause", a city-wide tradition where all activity halts for a few moments at sunset to appreciate the beauty of the transitioning sky. Another is the annual "Harmony Festival", a grand celebration of the planet's diverse cultures and species. \n\nIt's also common practice to greet others with a nod and palm over the heart, a sign of peaceful intentions and respect for one another's shared journey through the cosmos.\n\nLearning about these customs gives you a deeper appreciation for the care and unity fostered by the citizens of this city.\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub's main area |InfoHub]]\n

You wander into the "Interstellar Construction" section of the InfoHub Portal, where holographic dioramas demonstrate the unique building principles on Planet Six.\n\nPlanet Six is rich in a unique mineral called "Glumite", a luminescent, high-density stone that's both durable and adaptable. However, the real magic of Gloamite, and the architectural uniqueness of Planet Six, lies in its ability to resonate with specific sound frequencies.\n\nWhen designers expose Glumite to these frequencies during construction, it becomes temporarily malleable. This allows builders to reshape the Glumite with ease and precision, before it hardens back into an impressively rigid and resilient structure. It's like sculpting with sound - a process locals call "Harmonic Shaping."\n\nWhether it's a skyscraping tower or a unique sculpture, Harmonic Shaping imbues each structure on Planet Six with a distinctive, organic aesthetic.\n\n[[Learn more about the art of Harmonic Shaping|HarmonicShaping]]\n[[Learn part 2 of building in Planet Six|HowToBuildPart2]]\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub main area|InfoHub]]\n

You dive deeper into the fascinating world of Harmonic Shaping, where architecture meets music, and building designs are 'played' into existence through sound.\n\nAn accessible holographic module allows you to virtually try your hand at shaping a small lump of virtual Glumite using different frequencies. You experience firsthand how the sound's pitch and tune affect the stone, subtly warping and twisting it into various shapes.\n\nThe true artisans of Harmonic Shaping, you learn, are able to 'play' intricate structures into reality, tuning their equipment like instruments to bring their architectural vision to life. It's no wonder the city is filled with such diverse and beautifully organic structures.\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub's main area |InfoHub]]\n

In the 'Interstellar Construction' section of the InfoHub, you continue your exploration, moving beyond Harmonic Shaping to learn about other aspects of construction on Planet Six.\n\nThe builders of Planet Six have a profound respect for the diverse alien ecosystems, and consideration for the environment is deeply integrated into their building processes. Construction sites use sophisticated "Biospheres" - force fields that isolate the work area, preventing any harm to the surrounding natural environment from noise, waste, or other disturbances.\n\nFurther, builders are legally obliged to replace any natural resources used in construction, making the process sustainable and limiting the environmental impact. If they take Gloamite from a quarry, for instance, they must deposit an equal amount of mined Gloamite from off-world sources. If a tree is removed during construction, two must be planted in its place elsewhere.\n\nWhether it's unique construction materials, innovative methods like Harmonic Shaping, or the conscious preservation of nature, building on Planet Six is as much art as it is science.\n\n[[Return to the InfoHub main area|InfoHub]]\n

As you weave your way through the bustling magical streets, a sudden change falls over the city. The usual urban hum dies down and people begin to halt in their steps, their eyes flicking upwards towards the sky.\n\nOut of nowhere, the city's towering Glumite structures start to subtly glow and hum - reminiscent of your grandmother's story about the Cosmic Bloom. The luminescence undulates, weaving streaks of light across every building, monument, and sculpture, like a massive living citadel of light and sound.\n\nThis is not a city-wide catastrophe or a cosmic disaster though. You see smiles on people's faces, hear gasps of awe and murmurs of rage. This is an anomaly to be sure, but one that brings anger rather than fear.\n\nAs the full wonder of the city's light show sinks in, a sudden, dramatic shift occurs. The mesmerizing hum of the Glumite buildings swells into a loud, resonating drone. Then, an audible crack splits through the air followed by a powerful shockwave that radiates from the city's center.\n\nBuildings shimmer, their structure wavering under the oppressive sound. Then, they fall. Massive towers of purple-hued Glumite crumble, cascading towards the ground in a shower of dust and rubble. Panic spreads through the city like wildfire, the harmonious unity replaced by fear and chaos.\n\nThe collapse of buildings, the calamity overhead - this is not the gentle, collective awe of the Cosmic Bloom. This is a disaster. \n\n[[Run Away from the Cosmic Diaster]]\n[[Stay and Investigate the Cosmic Diaster]]

Without a moment's hesitation, you turn on your heels and break into a sprint. The city, once filled with harmonious sounds and the colorful spectacle of lights, is now a cacophony of panicked shouts and the deafening roar of collapsing buildings. Your every step is punctuated by the ominous thrum of the resonating Glumite and the roused rumble of the cosmic thunder.\n\nYou race down the winding pathways, weaving your way through panicked crowds. The throbbing pulse of the falling towers sends bone-shaking vibrations through the pathway beneath your feet. Staying upright is a struggle in itself as the world becomes a dizzying blur of motion and dust-filled air.\n\nAmid the fleeing chaos, you pass by familiar sights now painted in the eerie glow of the catastrophe. The open square where you had admired the Gloamite fountain, the open market area bustling with interstellar trade, the InfoHub, the beacon of learning and communication - all shrouded by a haze of glowing dust, being reshaped by the relentless downpour of magical thunder.\n\n[[Make your way to the nearest safety shelter|EmergencyShelter]]\n[[Run to the InfoHub for more info about the cosmic diaster]]\n[[Retreat to the forest]]

Your decision is set – the compulsion to understand this unprecedented event outweighs the potential hazards. Venturing further is dangerous, but your curiosity empowers you. \n\nStepping farther, the scene is one of chaos controlled only by the city's advanced disaster management systems. Resilience drones whiz past over your head, focusing on the tallest buildings undergoing structural failures.\n\nIn this turmoil, you become an observer, a silent sentinel amidst the chaos studying the city's responses. The way the Glumite sings under duress, how Biospheres activate shielding network nodes, even the pattern of those magical lightning strikes – everything becomes a piece of the puzzle you’re trying to unravel.\n\nThe city's resonating structures under the effect of the cosmic onslaught yield a peculiar form of data. Their frequency changes almost map the ensuing magnetic disruptions, crafting a symphony of cosmic, architectural, and geological music. Odd as it may seem, it provides a unique insight into the unfolding cosmic event.\n\n[[Run to the shelter|EmergencyShelter]]

You made a quick decision to head to the nearest safety shelter. Running along the fluctuating pathways, you turn a corner into a less populated alley, painted by the ethereal glow of the pressured Glumite.\n\nA tall building ahead is marked with the universally recognized emblem of safety in magical lights - two hands holding a planet. That's your destination. The entrance is bustling with inhabitants, but well-coordinated by uniformed city personnel, rapidly processing frightened people into the shelter.\n\nAs you reach the entrance, an wizard dressed in a bright safety attire scans you for any immediate health issues, then graciously directs you inside. The chaos outside dampens as the door closes, replaced by a hum of worried chatter and the contingency announcements playing softly in the background.\n\nThe shelter is a complex network of vast halls and corridors, built deep within the city’s bedrock. The use of Harmonic Shaping is evident even here, with the Glumite crafted into practical and welcoming spaces. Shimmering lighting elements embedded in the walls cast a soothing glow, while magical holographic screens display real-time updates about the city's condition.\n\n

Summoning the last reserves of your energy, you break into a run towards the InfoHub. The InfoHub, the city's nerve center for knowledge and communication, now looms ahead, wrapped in the ethereal light of a Biosphere. The once smooth, serene Gloamite structure now hums with an underlying urgency, its calm demeanor altered by the unfolding disaster.\n\nAs you near the structure, you see it's been repurposed. The InfoHub, now a beacon amidst chaos, doubles as an emergency shelter, its high-tech system put in service of the city's people. The usual influx of knowledge seekers replaced by those seeking refuge from the cosmic storm.\n\nOn entering, what strikes you is the calm. Information is power, and here, amidst the latest tech and magical information conduits, people seem more comforted. Giant holographic screens flash with complex diagrams and updates, assuring that there is monitoring, understanding, action amidst the catastrophe.\n\nYou see a station marked ‘Cosmic Disturbance’ and head straight for it. Graphs, images, notes – all flash through the air in front of you at intervals forming a 3D representation of the current cosmic anomaly. Going through the data, you understand the magnitude of the event and how it has disrupted the Gloamite’s resonating abilities.\n\n[[Learn more about the Cosmic Disturbance]]

So engrossed are you in your investigation at the 'Cosmic Disturbance' station that you barely notice the subtle change beneath your feet. As you toggle through deceivingly beautiful holograms of wave patterns, theories on chaos, and shifts in the magnetic field, the floor beneath you starts to hum quietly.\n\nBefore you can comprehend the occurrence, the ground opens up abruptly. Halting mid-sentence, you drop, stumbling into a void as the InfoHub's floor gives way. The world spins as you free-fall, and everything goes dark.\n\nA thud, and your descent stops as suddenly as it began. Groaning, you find yourself sprawled out in pitch darkness. You've landed on something decidedly softer than stone, but it's the sight that shocks you more than the fall.\n\nYour eyes adjust and the area is lit feebly by faintly glowing Gloamite, revealing a hidden dungeon below the InfoHub. It's an antiquated place, out of time with the hi-tech InfoHub above, filled with archaic symbols etched on the walls, dusty artifacts lying around, and old-world technology integrated with the Glumite constructs around.\n\nIt doesn't take long for you to realize, you've stumbled onto something utterly unexpected, something concealed by the InfoHub, possibly even from the InfoHub.\n\n

For eons, the denizens of this area had lived in harmony with the land, the celestial dance of the sun and moon their only clock, the turning of the seasons their calendar.\n</div>\n\n<div class="image">\n <img src="https://assets.tryrecess.com/users/a75a82d5-5ae6-41b7-d20f-788415be036d/assets/1709661708830.webp">\n</div>\n\n<div class="intro-text">\n Now, as another day begins on Planet Six, what will you choose to do?\n</div>\n\n<div class="choices">\n <<if not $fieldsDone>><div class="choice">[[Start a day in the fields|Fields][$fieldsDone = true]]</div><<endif>>\n <<if not $marketDone>><div class="choice">[[Help at the local market|MeadowsMarket][$marketDone = true]]</div><<endif>>\n <<if not $explorationDone>><div class="choice">[[Go out for exploration|Exploration][$explorationDone = true]]</div><<endif>>\n</div>

:: ObservingChaos\nYou choose to stay put, your curiosity piqued by the unfolding disorder. The mix of terror and fascination grips you as you continue to observe the wildlife's panicked, yet oddly graceful escape.\n\n[[Continue|Encounter]]

:: HelpWildlife\nSeeing the terrified animals, you decide to descend from your safe perch. You attempt to soothe and guide the wildlife away from the emerald blasts, using your limited knowledge of animal behavior.\n\n[[Continue|Encounter]]

:: FleeDeeper\nWith an inaudible gulp, you decide to delve deeper into the forest, away from the chaos. Descending the tree, you dash under the canopy. Despite the chaos around you, the lush greenery brings a certain calmness within you.\n\n[[Continue|Encounter]]

No matter which path you chose, your actions seem to have stirred something deeper within the forest. Almost in response to your presence, the ground beneath you shudders, an unusually large tremor that sends you sprawling.\n \nPicking yourself up, you find that the forest has opened up before you, revealing an ancient stone monument. It pulses with an eerily familiar energy, like the cosmic interference you've been experiencing. It's not just a cosmic event; it's a cosmic call, and you find yourself being pulled towards it.\n\n[[Inspect the monument closely|InspectMonument]]\n[[Attempt to go back|AttemptReturn]]

\nApproaching the monument, you notice it's not just any stone. It's Gloamite, the raw, unprocessed sort, its green veins pulsating with the same light you witnessed in the sky.\n\nSculpted centuries ago, it stands grand, weathered yet resilient, bearing archaic symbols that hum with energy. Attempting to decipher them, your mind resonates with a deep thrum emanating from the monument and you are inundated with visions of planets aligning, cosmic storms, and bright lights converging towards your city.\n\nSuddenly it all makes sense – the Cosmic Resonance, the stone beneath the InfoHub, the city’s panicked reaction, even the forest's defense. This wasn't an attack; it was a response, a counter-melody in the great cosmic orchestra. \n\n[[Touch the monument|TouchMonument]]\n[[Take a moment to comprehend what you just learnt|MomentOfComprehension]]\n

You try to beat a retreat, backing away from the monument, when you realize that the forest has led you here for a reason. It almost feels like the forest itself has melded paths and trees to block your way back. \n\nThe Gloamite veins running through trees twine together, forming an impenetrable barrier. Scanning for alternatives, your gaze falls back upon the pulsating monument. It appears the forest, the city, even the cosmos itself, have conspired to place you before an ancient secret.\n\n[[Reluctantly approach the monument|InspectMonument]]\n[[Sit and contemplate your situation|ContemplateSituation]]

Taking a deep breath, you reach out and touch the cool, strangely soft surface of the monument. The moment your fingers sink into the glowing veins of Gloamite, a surge of energy runs through you. Your vision blurs with images of distant galaxies, alien creatures, and strange constellations.\n\n[[Stay connected with the monument for more visions|StayConnected]]\n[[Retract your hand, unable to bear the intensity|RetractHand]]

With your mind flooded with newfound knowledge, you stagger back. The cosmic convergence, the resonating Gloamite, the forest's reaction, and now the monument - it all links together in a grand symphony of cosmic chaos. You're not merely a passive witness now; you are an integral part in the melody of the universe.\n\n[[Approach the monument again, this time with purpose|TouchMonument]]

Feeling overwhelmed with the course of events, you sit down at the foot of the ancient monument, staring at the pulsating Gloamite in a quiet contemplation. Though not everything makes sense yet, one thing is clear: you are a part of something far bigger than you ever imagined.\n\n[[Gather your determination and stand up to approach the monument again|InspectMonument]]

:: StayConnectedthe overwhelming intensity. The visions shift dramatically, unveiling more parts of the cosmic puzzle.\n\nYou witness celestial bodies colliding, stars collapsing, mysterious shadowy entities creeping across galaxies, and cataclysmic energy waves resonating through the universe. Suddenly, the visions turn menacing – bright lights flashing, cosmic winds howling, alien creatures screaming, and suddenly, emptiness.\n\nWith a gasp, you involuntarily retract your hand. The intensity and imminent danger of the final visions send a chill down your spine. Yet, despite the terror, a sense of purposeful dread settles in your heart.\n\n[[Shake off the chill of fear and look around|RetractHand]]

Overwhelmed and terrified, you retract your hand hastily. Trying to shake off the chilling visions, you stare blankly at the monument. Even though the direct connection is cut, the unsettling images, like ghostly echoes, continue to swirl in your mind.\n\n[[Gather yourself and inspect your surroundings|LookAround]]

Coming to your senses, you turn to look around. The sky is bright. The sun is calling on you to do something. Stars seem to collide and explode. It mirrors the chaos of the visions you saw just now and the ones powerful wizards have seen in their nightmares for centeriues on end. \n\nAcross the forest and the huge cities the animals and people lay silent. They watch in fear of what might come next. The foxes howl, the fish go together, no animal or homosaipen dares to go alone. The danger is real.\n\n[[Stay Calm and contuine watching | Standfirm]]\n[[Attempt to use the Monument to communicate with these entities|UseMonument]]\n

You may not understand the complexities of this cosmic event but surrender you will not. Their is no option. The only option is to fight or die trying. Drawing upon your last reserves of valor and courage you decide to face the upcoming calamity to strike Planet Six. \n\nThe sky contuines to rage growing brighter every waking minute. The forest vibritates in fear of a huge wildfire. \n\nThis is your destiny. This is your path. You are our only hope. The last hope of Planet Six. The only one we have left. This is not the only one. There is another. Very soon...\n\nThe chaos is near but so are a hero. A hero destined for greatness.\n\n[[Wait for the entities' arrival and prepare for the cosmic confrontation|CosmicConfrontation]]\n

Deciding to leverage your connection with the monument, you approach the pulsating Gloamite once again. As you touch it, the familiar surge of energy flows through you. The crucial difference is your intent; this time, you focus on making contact with the approaching entities.\n\nYou send a silent plea through the energetic conduit – a plea for understanding, a gentle prodding for cosmic diplomacy, a silent acknowledgment of their power, and a resolute stand for the safety of your world.\n\nEven as you lay your entreaty, you sense their arrival. The sky morphs into an interdimensional portal, from which the shadowy entities descend. You had hoped for a negotiation, an understanding, but as the cosmic beings solidify before you, you know a confrontation is inevitable.\n\n[[Steady yourself for the cosmic confrontation|CosmicConfrontation]]\n

You turn your gaze to the star crossed sky. The events on your vision appear to slowlly unfold. \n\nThe shadows turn to monsters. The monsters turn to Magicial ones. The world is going to fall unless someone does something and they must do it now!!!\n\nYou have barely a moment to prepare, but with a deep breath, you muster your courage. Lifting your hand toward the entities, you stand in defiance and determination, fueled by a sense of purpose instilled by the ancient monument.\n\nThe Cosmic Confrontation is about to begin, and no matter its outcome, the echoes of this celestial conflict will resonate throughout the universe, indelible marks in the grand cosmic script.\n\n[[Engage in the cosmic confrontation|EngageConfrontation]]\n

As you stare into the void of interstellar travelers materializing before you, a specific entity comes into focus. It is colossal, dwarfing the surrounding forest. Glowing eyes embedded in a nebulous form observe you, a sentient alien entity at the heart of the cosmic chaos.\n\nYou feel a connection between you, the entity, and the monument. This is the moment you've been thrust into - your Cosmic Confrontation.\n\n<span class="endChapterOne">[[End Chapter 1->Chapter 2]]</span>\nYou can save here and load to return here.\n
