You wander into a thicket fit for Robin Hood's Yeomen.
You find the entangled overgrowth deep within the gloomy canopies.
You manage through the vines and thorned webs to find a stone pedestal.
The stone is white, cracked and a sword hilt jutting out from the narrow pocket.
The stone is large, suitable for a house's foundations you think.

You finish reading and think about your choices:

- Do you travel into the future and see what you become?
Where would you go?
