Pigeon Post By Cynthia Elizalde Click [[here|Choose a Pigeon]] to start

(set:$name to (prompt:"Enter your name:","Default Name")) Hello $name the pigeon, you have been selected to become part of the Pigeon Post Military. War has broken up at the Templum Kingdom between the East and West. You are a Homing Pigeon with special training and abilities that can help you to transport important classified information. Let us join the : [[East]] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")[Wait... [[I don't want to be part of the Pigeon Post Military]]!!]

The enemy can't see you from so far, so they decide to let you go. But because you decided to fly higher, your energy starts to decrease and you need to take a break. What do you do now, $name? [ [[Rest in the Forest]] or [[Rest close to the Lake]]]?

The enemy has lost track of your presence. But you have to wait a while untill everything calms down. Not too far from the forest you see a Lake that looks safe to drink from. $name, do you [[get close to the lake|Rest close to the Lake]] to drink water? or Do you wait until [[night time]]?

Because of all the zig zag flying you made yourself more suspicious, so the soldiers in the border start shooting more until one is able to get you. Better luck in your next life, $name! Do you want to try [[again|Choose a Pigeon]]?

You have avoided war. But that means someone else might need your services. There are two people interested in hiring you as their personal messenger. Who do you want to join? [[The young Lady]]? Or [[The old man]]?

While you take a fresh drink from the lake, you take a moment to appreciate the beauty around you, and you start to reflect on your life choices. You soon realize that you have never really experienced freedom. You have been training since you were born, never thought about having a normal relaxing life. $name... You need to make a choice, do you want to [[continue]] with your mission? Or, would you rather [[free yourself]] from this job and from this war?

Resting was a good choice! But that made you hungry. Not too far from the branch you're resting at, there are some fruit choices to chose from. [[Blueberries]] [[Earthworms]] Wait... is that a [[chopped apple]]?

Night time has come! Why don't you contibue with your mission? Wait a minute... pigeons can't see that well in the dark! The moonlight is not enough to navigate the forest. There are no other ways than to rest in the forest until the [[next day|Rest in the Forest]].

This young lady, also known as Lilith Heart, is the daugther of the Templum Kingdom's military comander, part of the West allies. They have evacuated the dangerous zone away from war. This young Lady wants you to send letters to her beloved Thomas, who is not too far from your new home. Today she wants you to [[send a letter to him]]

This old man's name is Henry Smith, an old guy who is raising pigeons to accompany him in his lonely life. He takes you to your new home, where you meet new pigeons! He feeds you and takes care of you. And for the first time in three years you feel loved. [[You are happy!]]

Good choice, $name! Blueberries are delicious amd full of nutrients. They will regenerate all your energy so that you can [[continue]] your journey.

What an exquisite fruit, juicy and perfect for you to get all the energy you need to keep on flying. But there is something you forgot about while you where eating those apple slices. But you ignore it because you are starving. That thing was [[apple seeds]]!

You are on your way to the Thoma's house, but you are curious about what the young Lady wrote in her letter. So, you decide to [[read her letter]].

"Dear Thomas, I can't wait to see you again. I know war is making things difficult for our relationship. And I hope this information is useful for you. You mentioned in your last letter that you wanted to secretly help my father with war and that it would be useful to know where his troops are located. That is why I'm sending you the secret locations of his troops. I hope you find information helpful. Please take care. With love, - Lilith <3 You think Thomas is trying to get information out of Lilith, which can end bad for her father. What do you do about this information? [[Go back]] to show this to the comander or [[continue with your delivery]]?

You go back home and show the letter to the comander. He isn't happy at all! As soon as he finds out he sends a hitman to get rid of Thomas... Well, at least the comander is greatful for you and decided to give you a fancy title, "The Savior." After he got rid of Thomas, which was an important asset to the East side, the West troops took over the East and won the war. "Thank you $name The Savior!"

You decide to continue with your delivery. Look at that! That handsome man is Lilith's lover. You arrive and deliver your letter. He seems happy but with a mischievous smile. But that is now none of your business, you successfully delivered your letter and that it all that metters. Why don't you go [[back home]].

You look for those earthworms, but they can be difficult to find when there hasn't been a lot of rain. As you get closer to one earthworm a soldier from the opposite side appears and captures you! $name, what a lucky pigeon! The soldier will not kill you, but he will take you to his [[military station]] to hold you hostage until they get enough information about their enemies.

You continue with your journey back to your ally's military base. Your allies have now received the coordinates and are grateful for your service! You are a fighter and a hero! This is [[for you]]

You have been taken to your enemy's military base. They took the coordinates that you were supposed to deliver to your allies. They won't hurt you, but they lock you up in a cage, together with other pigeons that have been captured. $name, you can't just sit there and do nothing! You think about a way to escape, what do you do? [[Start a pigeon revolution]]? Or [[use a nail]] that is loose in the cage to try and escape.

$name, did you now that apple seeds are poisonous to pigeons! Oh well, it was a pleasure knowing you. Some things are just not good for you... Rest in peace soldier! You'll deliver those messages [[next time|Rest in the Forest]]

$name the Pigeon, your service for this kingdom will never be forgotten! This is a medal for your incredible service and making it out alive to serve your allies. The Medal of the Best Pigeon Post Sevice! Now your allies have an advantage in war, and it is all thanks to you.

"Brothers and Sisters, we can't let the enemy capture us like this! We need to go back to our comrades and warn them about the enemy. They need to be prepared so they can defend their terretory. We will fight until we are free! Until our Kingdom is saved by our soldiers! LET US FIGHT UNTIL THE END!!!!" This speech was powerful enough to start a pigeon revolution inside the cage! Everyone starts moving and destroying the cage until they get an opening to escape. Your pigeon friends are taking care of distracting the enemy while you [[fly away]] to inform your allies about the enemy getting their secret location information.

It is interesting how you were able to use your wings to use that nail to open the cage's lock. Even though you successfully open the cage's lock, your wings got hurt during that tedious process. You have to proceed, but the only way to do so is by [[walking]] all the way back to the secret base.

While you were flying back to your allies' secret location , one of the enemy soldiers shot you, but it was not enough to bring you down. You successfully made it back! You have been trained to be able to communicate with the soldiers, so you tell them about their location being discovered by the enemy. Everyone gets ready to leave this place to a new location. But while they did that you start to feel dizzy. $name, this is it... you saved your allies from the enemy. And your duty has come to an end. Thank you for your service, soldier!

Did you know that pigeons can live up to 6 years??? $name! You have been training since you were born, and now you are 3 years old! About half of your life has been spent training... Why not free yourself from the war? And so you quit your mission and decide to make a life [[away from the war]].

$name! There are some enemy soldiers patrolling around the area, so you decide to take it slow and avoid the enemy. You hear a conversation going on between the soldiers. You get [[get closer to listen]]...

As you hear their conversation, something inside you changes. You realize that your enemy is trying to stop the tyranny that will come to the Kingdom if your allies win the war. You thought you were the good guy, but in reality you were helping the bad guys. There won't be any freedom if you allies win. Things will lget worst if that happens. What do you do with this information? [[Give up?]] [[Continue with the mission?]] [[Help the enemy?]]

Be careful $name! Your allies' troops are located in the West and they want to send their recent coordinates to their allies in the East. They let you fly with this important information, but as soon as you get close the border you hear someone trying to shoot you down. What will you do? [[Fly Higher]] [[Hide in the forest]] [[Fly in zig zag]]

There is no other way... you decide to give up on your mission and leave the enemy's lair. $name, because your wings have been hurt you can't fly away from the war. As you leave the camp you hear something approaching you. A racoon... I guess the racoon hasn't eaten much lately... was has been hard... even to the wild life. Good bye $name the Pigeon, you are now racoon's food. Do you wish to [[try something else?|get closer to listen]]

You decide to continue with the mission. You don't know what to feel about this situation, but you have to finish the mission that was given to you. And so you arrive to the secret camp, but it seems that walking all the way back took you so long that the enemy already took over this camp. From afar tou can see your allies being detained by the enmy. $name, you have failed your mission... Do you wish to [[try something else?|get closer to listen]]

Even though your wings are hurt, you decide to help the enemy by providing more information, creating a map with more than just one secret location. The enemy is now your allie, and your allies became your enemy. As you see your new allies win the war, you see a brighter future for your Kingdom. Now you can rest and feel safe, and even though you didn't get any recognition for your help, you can admire the smiles of every creature in this kingdom.

Now far from all the bad things going on, for the first time in your life, you meet someone special. That piegon will be your partner for the rest of your life <3 And now that you found a new home, you decide that it is time to have a family. $name, have a happy life!

Days have passed and something is off about your new home. Lady Lilith had a fight with her father, and now she will be evacuated somewhere else away from everything and everyone. You have been told to stay with her nut your were prohibited to send letters to that Thomas guy again. With tears in her eyes, Lady Lilith sails a ship and goes far from the Templum Kingdom. You are know her best friend, because you'll be with her until the war is over. Would you like to [[try something else|read her letter]]? Or choose [[someone else|I don't want to be part of the Pigeon Post Military]]?

One night when you were sleeping you hear a loud noice coming from Henry's livingroom. The some people enter the room and they start to campture all your pigeon friends in the room. You fly away trying to avoid them, and you notice they are soldiers from the East. They are tyring to get these pigeons to train them to become messangers during the war. What would you do about this situation? [[Fly away?]] Or [[Look for Henry?]]

You fly away with other pigeons. You feel bad about leaving your new home and friends behind, but it was the only option to survive and to get away from war. $name, there is no looking back, it is time to fly away and never come back to the Templum Kingdom.

You look for Henry in his house, avoiding the soldiers trying to grab you. As you get close to the livingroom you see someone in the floor... wait is that Henry? Your eyes can not believe it... Henry was bleeding... he was in the floor bleeding! ''How can this happen to someone like Henry''??? HE TOOK CARE OF YOU AND ALL THOSE PIGEONS AND THESE PEOPLE DECIDED TO KILL HIM BECAUSE HE WAS KEEPING THEM AWAY FROM WAR? There isn't enough time to process your emotions because a soldier grabbed you and tried to [[put you in a cage.]]

What is this feeling? Something inside you doesn't feel right... That is when you snapped out of it. You were angry, and the only way to end all of these feelings were by [[FIGHTING!]]

You fight! No matter how hard it can be to knock these soldiers down, you will fight to get all that anger and sadness out. Every pigeon that saw you knew what to do. So they started fighting as well! The soldiers were stunned about this reaction, they din't want to kill them because they needed them for delivering important information. But it was useless, trying to avoid harming the pigeons, that is what made the pigeons have an advantage. They fought until every soldier left the house. [[Continue]]

You and the other piegons take Henry's body and lay it on his favorite couch. After that insident, you and the other pigeons decide to leave Henry's house and go after the people responsible for this tragedy. Now you have become a warrior in search of vengance... Would you like to [[try something else|Choose a Pigeon]]? Or choose [[someone else|I don't want to be part of the Pigeon Post Military]]?
