1 | Start

Welcome, adventurer! You stand at the threshold of endless possibilities. Where would you like to go? Or perhaps you'd prefer to tell me what kind of universe you wish to explore?

2 | Diagon alley

You step onto the cobblestone street of Diagon Alley. Wizards and witches hustle past colorful shops selling cauldrons, wands, and magical creatures. The air tingles with magic. Where would you like to go first?

3 | the owl shop

You enter Eeylops Owl Emporium. Dozens of amber eyes watch from shadowy perches. Owls hoot softly while a elderly wizard arranges owl treats behind the counter. “Looking for a companion, are we?” he asks with a smile.

4 | yes

“Wonderful!” The shopkeeper's eyes twinkle. “I have snowy owls, barn owls, and screech owls. That tawny one's quite loyal. The spotted eagle owl is magnificent but proud. Or perhaps the tiny scops owl? Each has their own temperament.”

5 | proud will suit my temper

“The spotted eagle owl! Excellent choice.” The shopkeeper coaxes the majestic bird onto his arm. It regards you with piercing orange eyes. “He's particular about his owners. May I?” He extends his arm toward you, the owl watching intently.

6 | yes

The owl hesitates, then regally steps onto your arm. Its talons grip firmly as it looks into your eyes, as if judging your worth. After a tense moment, it relaxes slightly. “He's chosen you,” the shopkeeper nods approvingly.

7 | we chose each other

“Indeed you have!” The shopkeeper beams. “A perfect match in temperament.” The owl puffs its chest proudly, then gently nips your finger—a sign of acceptance. “That'll be seven Galleons. Does your companion have a name?”

8 | of cause Marus'ka

“Marus'ka!” The shopkeeper's eyebrows rise. “A name with character, for an owl with character.” The eagle owl seems to straighten at the sound of its new name. “Seven Galleons, please, and Marus'ka is yours to take into the magical world.”

9 | give the money

You hand over seven golden Galleons. The shopkeeper counts them before placing them in a drawer. “Here's a care guide and some treats to start.” He transfers Marus'ka to a handsome perch. “Your owl will find you wherever you go.”

10 | had out

You step back into Diagon Alley, Marus'ka perched regally on your shoulder. Passersby admire your proud companion as you emerge into the bustling street. Shops line both sides, their magical wares gleaming in windows. Where to next?
