      About Your Adventure

      YOU are the mighty Greek hero Jason. Along with your crew of Argonauts, you set sail on your quest for the legendary Golden Fleece. On your way, you will face deadly monsters, mythical beasts, and dangerous gods. Can you survive and claim your reward?

      Chapter One sets the scene. Then you choose which path to read. Follow the links at the bottom of each page as you read the stories. The decisions you make will change your outcome. After you finish one path, go back and read the others for new perspectives and more adventures. Use your device's back buttons or page navigation to jump back to your last choice.

      YOU CHOOSE the path you take through this mythical adventure.

      The Man With One Sandal

      You stand atop Mount Pelion. Off in the distance you see the city of Iolcus. It was once your home.

      Jason! a voice calls from behind you. You turn to see a half-man, half-horse creature waving to you. It’s your mentor, Chiron. You were placed in the old centaur’s care as an infant after the death of your father, King Aeson. He showed you how to fight and taught you how to heal yourself and others. He even told you how your father had been killed. Your uncle Pelias had overthrown him as ruler of Iolcus.

      Now that you’ve reached adulthood, you’ve decided it is time for you to return to Iolcus. You plan to reclaim the throne that had once belonged to your father.

      Always be kind to those you meet, Chiron says. You nod and then turn to your destination.

      You begin the long hike down Mount Pelion.Upon reaching the foothills at the base of the mountain, you hear the rush of water. A river blocks your path. As you walk toward its bank, you see a woman dressed in rags. She is sitting on a fallen log near the water.

      Could you help me, young man? she asks. I need to get across.

      Her hand shakes as she reaches for you. You help her stand. She’s old and frail. She grabs your arm to steady herself.

      You turn from her to the river. Its current is swift. You doubt she could cross it on her own. You think about Chiron’s words: Always be kind to those you meet.

      You pick up the old woman and lift her onto your back. She’s as light as a feather. You fear a strong gust of wind could carry her away. She’ll be easy to carry.

      The water splashes as you take your first steps into the river. After a few more steps, you notice something odd. The old woman isn’t so light anymore. Her weight starts to press down on you. With each step, she grows heavier. Your back begins to ache. Your knees wobble. Your feet sink into the muddy river bottom. You start to worry that you might not make it to the other side.

      As you walk, one of your sandals slips off your foot. But you can’t pick it up. You can barely place one foot in front of the next.

      Upon reaching the opposite shore, you set the woman down. Then you collapse, exhausted. You look up but she is gone, nowhere to be seen.

      Where did she go?
