PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYING! This a really weird interactive story thing/ solving bad and confusing riddles. You have been warned! -Press the right arrow to advance the moon's dialogue -On the bridge scene, press the right arrow once, then it should run on its own I'm kind of new to Scratch, so please let me know if there are any bugs in this. Also here is the story in the project if anyone cares to read it. STORY: This world is inhabited by many spirits, and if you look closely, you can see where they dwell. A plant that seems too bright, too fragile, and is yet indestructible, an undiscovered mountain in a range that was thought to be thoroughly explored. Stone was one such spirit, wandering from place to place, settling in a forests for a few hundred years, then finding another. For spirits cannot stay in one place for too long, or humans start noticing strange things. Why, in a long drought, is this piece of land still fertile? Why can all the gold in a mine be dug up, and there is mysteriously still a few hundred more pieces to be found there? Thousands of years ago, Stone settled on the outskirts of a forest, where just beyond some humans were building a village. At first Stone was indifferent to these humans, but soon he found that he had grown fond of them. He used his powers as a spirit to secretly help the humans, bringing rich deposits of strong stones and minerals near the surface. With the secret help of Stone, the village had soon grown to a city, and a very powerful one at that. And when the day came for Stone to leave and find a new home, he found his heart would not let him leave the humans he had grown so fond of. He decided to stay, as what is a few hundred more years, a few thousand? This went well for a few hundred more years, but soon the humans started noticing strange things, as would happen one day. They found that when they had thought they dug a mineral mine dry, there would turn out to be more deposits in some secluded corner of the mine. During earthquakes, though the strongest house of wood would collapse, even the weakest stone building wold come out totally unscathed. Stone knew deep down he would have to leave soon, for spirits can not take the form of an inanimate object for more than one thousand years at a time, but he would not leave. Then, one day a human child of about 10 wandered into the forests where Stone resided to fetch some wood. This also just happened to be the first day of Stone's one-thousand-and-first year of residing in the forest. Just when the human child was approaching the stone that Stone had taken the form of for the last thousand years, Stone found he could no longer maintain his rock form, and abruptly turned into his spirit form. For a split second he appeared as gray haired, gray skinned man in a travel worn shirt and breeches, with little flecks of crystals on his cheeks and shoulders. What the child would have thought of the sight would never be known, as Stone only changed to his spirit form for a second, and being unable to maintain that shape as well, he turned into light. But the fact that he was only seen for a split second would never matter. For he had broken one of the most sacred rules of the spirits, to let his spirit form be seen by a human. And for this he was to be punished most severely by the head spirits, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Light. Stone was to be turned forever into dust, never able to exist as a spirit again. Moon, Stone's love, and her mother Night had much power among the spirits, and persuaded the head spirits to lessen his sentence a bit. Stone was to be trapped in a stone formation for all eternity. The stone would not erode or crack, but Stone would not be able to use his powers as a spirit in it, as this stone prison was made with the power of all the head spirits, and Stone was not as powerful as all of them combined. But Night took pity on Stone, seeing as her daughter Moon loved him. So she and some of her other sons and daughters, spirits of stars, used their power to make it so there was some way to free Stone. Normally no amount of spirits combined could over ride the powers of the head spirits, but Night was not just any spirit. Night is ancient, much older than any of the head spirits, and more powerful too, in someways. She knew that anyone who knew about Stone could not use her over ride to break it, and that Stone could still talk to other spirits. Using this knowledge, she arranged for one of her sons or daughters who did not know about Stone or his imprisonment to free him, as Night's children were as numerous as the stars in the sky, which they were spirits of. She tried to guide many of her children to free Stone, but they found out about him eventually, which led to their inevitable failure to free Stone. Until now. After thousands of years of being trapped, Stone may finally be set free of his miserable rock prison.
(p.s.: This is not my best project) If a lot of people are really confused on the "riddles", I might just end up putting the answers here. I ran out of space to put this above, so its just here.
