New IF: The Forest
Your fate was decided as soon as you took your first breath. As a thirdborn, you belonged to The Forest, or at least that is what The Elders had told you.
Born to be returned in the name of balance, you had no idea your life would become this. Something isn't right, and the Spirits aren't standing by any longer.
Summary:
You've come of age, and tonight is your Ceremony. It's spring, and everyone is eager to welcome your peers as adults into the village. You will be sent off into the forest to meet your fate, as to keep the spirits pleased, everything must be done to maintain balance within the bounds of the trees.
Unfortunately, what is fated isn't always what is expected. Something else is happening, and you intend to find out what. Gifted visions, nightmares of sins long past, you have little idea what the spirits want.
On your journey, you will meet others who have been wronged by both spirits and man alike. It is up to you to understand what the forest truly wants.
What is the true price of balance?
