Juan has suprisingly great survival skills for his age, Billy brought medical equipment just incase someone gets hurt. Darrel knows when something bad or good is about to occur, he gets signs. They are going to be exploring a dangerous vast forstest known to have extremely hostile animals; the goal is to get their own souvineers from the forest and make it out alive. [[Introduction to Characters and Setting.->The Adventure starts]]

Are you going on the Path, if not click [[The Adventure starts->Off the Path]] Ending? Ill let you find out. If you are going on the path, click [[The Adventure starts->On the Path]] It has 2 endings, a happy wholesome one and a tragic one. READ THIS!!!!! The path takes longer and there is less hostile animals, but there isn't much artifacts to take. Off the path is way more dangerous and more hostile animals, but more rare and cool artifacts. <img src="https://freerangestock.com/sample/116300/a-path-in-the-forest.jpg" width="500" height="300" alt="Two foxes">

You walk down off the Path and already see hostile animals, some of them were fiction-like. A tiger with shark-like teeth and sharp claws, they already regret their decision. Darrel then thinks and says, "Guys, don't worry about that, the animals won't bother you unless you bother them. Lets keep walking!" Juan replies, "I have a bow and arrow so im not too worried." "How are you guys so calm!" Exclaims Billy. "It won't be that bad, as long as we make the right decisions!" Responds Darrel. [[Off the Path->Its getting dark... and more dangerous]]

Walking on the path is much safter than off the path, with them knowing that, they feel more confident and better about what could happen. As they walk down the path, the three boys notice it's starting to get dark. They will rely on Juan for this part, knowing he has superb survival skills. Darrel starts to feel antsy about even going here in the first place. [[On The Path->Building shelter]]

"We need to built shelter like right now." Billy says. Juan then replies, "Lets get to work now, we can't waste any time." *Dig dig dig, crickets, crickets, placing wood, strange noises* Billy is digging a hole about medium sized, Darrel is making a fire for light, and Juan is placing wood over the hole for shelter. *build build build, crickets, crickets, CRAASHHHHHH* [[Its getting dark... and more dangerous->What was that sound?]]

"Juan, we need you to help us build shelter, you're the only one with survival life knowledge." Says Billy. "Why do you think im collecting all this wood. Also, don't get too comftorable on the path because it's almost as bad as off the path off night." Juan replies. "Then why did we even think about going here!" Darrel says. "Darrel, it was your idea don't even." They get to work quick because they know the dangers of this forest. Billy digs a medium-sized hole, Darrel makes a fire, and Juan starts buildig a wood ceiling over the hole. [[Building shelter->Shelter and Sleep]]

They have finished building their shelter. The ceiling is covered with leaves and the walls are made with wood. "Don't feel to safe, there is a bunch of dangerous animals, some of these animals could bite through metal." Juan says. "Im not trying to scare you, get some sleep." Darrel and Billy don't say anything, and fall asleep as soon as there heads hit the ground. [[Shelter and Sleep->Hungry, thirsty, and homesick.]] <img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eoh9OdYSmDE/maxresdefault.jpg">

They wake up. "Bro im hungry." Says Darrel. "Same." Replies billy. "Yall didn't bring water or food?!" Replies Juan. "No it just wasn't enough. Darrel gets an idea, "I did see some other campers out in the distance, I saw them roasting some food." Says Darrel. They instantly go out searching for the campers in the distance and find them in about 2 minutes. "Hey! We could use some food, we are very hungry and need to survive, could you help us?" Billy says. "Why are you kids out here? Eh, whatever, take some fried chicken, steak, and some water." The anonymous camper replies. "Thanks so much!" [[Hungry, thirsty, and homesick.->Uh oh, a hostile animal!]]

After making it back to the shelter, the boys spot something very unpleasant. "What is that creature?" Juan yells. Are you going to fight this mysterious hostile creature? If yes, click [[Uh oh, a hostile animal;!->1,2,3 FIGHT!]] If no, click [[Uh oh, a hostile animal!->Run or Death]]

Guys get my Bow and Arrow right now!" Juan says out of fear. Darrel runs down the shelter in no time and gets the Bow and Arrow and fires! "Billy get away from it!" You know the creature is dangerous when Juan doesn't even know what it is. Darrel hits a lethal shot with the bow and arrow and it goes down. "I KILLED IT, THAT WAS SCARY BRO." Darrel exclaims. "Darrel, thank you so much that animal might have been deadlier than most animals here." Juan yells. "Let's examine it." [[Uh oh, a hostile animal!->A, a, a an, an ARTIFACT!?!?!]]

All three of the boys run faster then they could have ever thought. They feel like Usain Bolt! As they are on the path sprinting, they notice that the path is coming to end with a river in front of it. "Are we jumping over this river!?" Yells Darrel. Are you going to jump the river, if yes click[[Run or Death->The Jump]] If you are not jumping over the river, click [[Run or Death->That way!]]

They did it, they found an artifact, not any artifact, but a rare one people had been looking for for decades! "WE DID IT!!!" The 3 boys scream. "We need to tell arcaheologists." Says Billy. "No, lets keep it, we found it." Darrel replies. They bring the artifact to a place only they know about where it won't get lost. [[A, a, a an, an ARTIFACT!?!?!->Wow, I remember that.]]

9 Years after, they are now 20 years old in College playing D1 sports. They are hanging out then Darrel reminds them, "Remember we explored that forest and got chased by that weird animal?" Oh my goodness, I remember that!" Juan says. "I still know where the artifact is!" Billy responds. They all laugh it off and talk about it, just 3 homies chilling.

"JUMP!!!" Juan screams. They all make the jump and the creature is off them, they taunt the strange hostile creature and make fun of its looks roght after barely surviving. although they didn't find any artifacts as they were hoping too, they left the forest and never came back. They were seconds from dying. "Thank God we are alive." Darrel says with relief while gasping for air. "I wanna get out of here, and we are never coming back." Says billy. "Same, we won't have to deal with that weird ugly angry creature again." Juan replies. "Hahahah, thats true" Billy says. They return to Juan's house to just have a normal sleepver, they didn't care about finding rare stuff or artifacts anymore.

"NO DON'T JUMP, TURN LEFT!" Yells Juan. They make a sharp turn to the left away from the river, hoping and praying to God that they make it out alive. The way they are running is starting to go downhill, and might be to steep to run on; One wrong step and they are the creature's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No time to speak, they have to bolt down this steep vast hill without tripping. They thought about just sliding down the vast steep hill to reduce chances of death. You decide, are they going to keep running down this incredibly steep hill, if yes click[[That way!->Well, I guess it was...]] If you want them to slide down the hill, click [[That way!->Don't run away from your problems, slide away from them]]

I guess it was death. Juan falls while running, hits his head on a rock sharp as a barbwire and is pretty much unconscious in milliseconds. Billy gets tired and bitten by the creature; Billy looks up again to look for his friends just to see himself surrounded by the same type of creatures and is eaten like a sandwhich. Darrel is the only one alive, as a matter of fact he was the only one to survive. When he is found by poilce looking for him after his parents thought he was missing, he sobs instantly and regrets going to the forest. He has survivors guilt and he lost his best friends, that day he learned a very valueable lesson. Don't take too much risk. But he grew up later on and was a very succesful man who got to play D1 basketball.

Darrel slides first and picks up a ton of speed, Juan sees him sliding so he decides he will slide as well. Billy catches on to whats happening and does the same. *Slidde, slide, slide, roarrrrr* The creature was starting to lose control of itself and was about to fall. "AAAAAAAA!" Billy screams out of fear after seeing the creature falling thinking it was attacking him. *BANGGGGG* The creature lost control, fell all the way down and died. Soon enough, the hill had came to a stop and the boys were safe and standing. "Lets get out of here, I know the way to my house." Juan says. The hike back up would take long enough, but atleast they made it out alive.

Uh, what was tha- ROOOOOAAAARRRRRR. "Guys get in the shelter like right now!" Billy says. "Juan, Billy, can we just sleep it out we have shelter." "We still have so much of the non-path area to search tommorow, so yes sleep." Juan says. *person screaming, crickets, roar, then finally peace and quiet* [[What was that sound?->A big decision to make]]

Darrel is feeling really weird and thinks their current situation is sketchy and eerie. "Honestly, im getting really creeped out here and I feel unsafe." Darrel says. "We have to trust Darrel, he is always right about stuff like this." Billy adds. "Darrel you wanted to do this, plus we can stay safe if we are brave, confident, and if you use my survival skills." Juan responds. Are you staying, if yes click [[A big decision to make->Staying, I guess]] If not click [[A big decision to make->You know what, I agree]]

"Honestly we should keep exploring this non-path area and stay. Now that I think about it." Billy says. "Guys im telling you, something bad is gonna ha- *AAAAAAAA, crunch crunch nom nom* They were eaten by hostile creatures. Darrel was right, something bad was gonna happen; he couldn't even finish his sentence. Consider taking the path next time okay?

You know what, I wanna get out of here too." Juan says right after what he said before. They dash out of that forest and return to their hangout spot, the electrical green box close to Juan's house. "Im never going there again." Billy says. "Lets go inside and just continue our sleepover at my house and play video games." Juan says. "I call playing 2K first and im playing as the Lakers!" Darrel exclaims. "Come on, you always go first and the only reason you use the Lakers is because of Lebron James." Juan and Billy respond. So, they never found an artifact, but instead decided to have a normal sleepover and not have to worry about anything. Which is good.
