The portal pushes you into a surrounding filled with fire and smoke. Or you assume it is, as the sky is dyed in orange and the smell of smoke pierces your senses. The ground is hard and when you take a closer look, you notice it is partially reflective. Once it had been reflective, but now it's just covered in dust and rubbles of...concrete.
Heat smoulders as you continued to walk down the pathway. Bead of sweat run down the sides of your face, your eyes unable to grasp what you are looking at. There is nothing to see but fiery hues of orange-red above you and brown soil hiding metal pathways below.
A loud growl echoes in the air, stopping you in your tracks. Eyes wide, you turn to look around you. Nothing stands out. When you look back at where you were going, two pathways have emerged from nothing. One leads to the right. And the other to the left.
Another low, guttural sound has you kicking into flight-or-fight mode.
Whatever it is that made the noise, it's close by. You have to quickly choose a path now.
If you choose the right path, continue to 'Part 27'
If you choose the left path, continue to 'Part 16'
