Pursue the Black Horse
Before long, she plunges into a dark forest.
This is part of a choose your own adventure story, ‘Through the Black Door.’ Go to the first chapter here. Or check out the chapter guide. See the bottom of the story for notes.
You gather all your strength and bolt after the black mare, straight into the storm outside.
Maybe you should worry about slipping and falling from the puddles around you, but the black horse won’t slow down anytime soon. In fact, while you’re a fast runner, humans are slower than horses, let alone magical ones.
But it seems like she’s trying to run at your pace.
Before long, she plunges into a dark forest. You grit your teeth and splash into the woods too. You can barely make out her silhouette darting between the trees.
Just then, you hear a loud crack. Lightning strikes a tree ahead of you, and it begins to fall.
If you’re fast, you can outrun the falling tree and catch up with the mare.
What do you do?
Note: Novus Grey wrote the original first chapters, but she has deleted her account on Medium, and unfortunately did not respond to any emails or messages. Hence why I’m writing new chapters to replace the ones she deleted, so that the later chapters I wrote can still be playable. These new beginning chapters contain the same basic plot but have different details.
