This story is a "choose your own adventure." Rather than reading it
through chronologically, start with chapter 1 and follow the instructions
at the end of every chapter.
Chapter 1
You're decision had been made two weeks earlier when the forces of Wu and Shu clashed in your home town of Jing Zhou, but still your mother pleaded with you. "You mustn't go," she said, tears streaming from her tired, weary eyes. "You are my only child. How am I to cope alone? The village is ruined from the assault by those ruthless armies, and now you wish to join them? Please, reconsider!"
You turn you head away, unable to see your mother in such distress. It was the hardest decision you had ever made, one that left you questioning whether it had been the right choice. China was at war and if soldiers such as yourself stayed out of it, it would only drag on longer. China had to be restored to one rule so that peace would once again reign. It was the only conclusion. It was the only thing that would prevent atrocities like the one that leveled Jing Zhou, killing thousands.
"I'm sorry mother," you reply at last, holding back tears of your own. "When at last peace is restored, I will come back for you, I promise." You pull your hand away from her and walk slowly off toward where your steed is tied up.
"Who will you join though?" She asked, coming up beside the magnificent animal as you mount. "Surely not Shu or Wu, since they were the ones that caused such destruction here."
Who will you join?
If you wish to join Shu, go to Chapter 2. If you wish to join Wei, go to Chapter 3. If you wish to join Wu, go to Chapter 4.
