[ You find yourself standing at a crossroads of sorts. The air feels as though it is crackling with energy, and the cloudy skies don't help one bit. ]

[ The road where you stand splits into three paths. The left seems to lead up to a large mansion, slightly obscured by trees, but surrounded by wide open space of greenery. The middle path goes much further, and in the distance you can make out tall buildings, all dark under a nighttime sky. To the right is a long wooden platform, exposed to the elements, with two simple benches on it. ]
