All of a sudden, as if from nowhere, a young woman walks toward you. She curtsies and gives you a lily. She begins to speak:

"Welcome, I am Maria. I'm glad you made it here. There are so many wonderfuls things to see, and not a lot of time. Anyway, I must leave, and let you explore on your own."

Before, you can say anything, she walks off and is gone. You are alone again. You decide to look around.

To the west, stands a tall stone building that looks a lot like a library. East of you is a forest of strange trees unlike any you've seen before. To the north is the lake. Behind you, in the distance, are huge purple mountains capped with snow. You must make a decision now. Where do you go?
