It all started with a routine hunting trip. Traxex followed the same trail she took every week, and saw the same mundane plant-life that she has seen grow from mere seedlings. However, she noticed a trail of footprints leading off the trail. Looking for a larger thrill, she decided to follow them.
"Who could have left a trail like this?" Traxex questioned as she continued off of her regular path.
Following the footprints, Traxex ventured on for a few miles. The trail mysteriously ended at a hole in from of a massive tree. She kneeled down to look into the hole when someone came from behind her and pushed her in.
"What the… Nooooo!" Traxex screamed while falling down the seemingly bottomless home.
The darkness engulfed her as she fell. Falling for only a few minutes, the torture of not knowing what is below felt like hours to Traxex. She expected a hard blow when finally hitting solid ground, but to her relief, she fell in a large shrub. It was just a few minutes before her eyes recognized a large shadowed figure standing before her.
"Someone required my protection." The large figure stated, lending out a hand to the disoriented girl.
Traxex responded with low intensity, "T-Thanks sir."
The large man escorted her out of the forest, following a trail similar to the one Traxex knows by heart. When the two arrived at the trail's beginning, Traxex lost her calm mind when she observed area. Her home was gone, and replaced with some camps and a river with no end in sight.
Everything was going too fast for Traxex, and she fell unconscious from the overload. The large man, now seen as a tree in the light, carried her away to somewhere safe. She was placed next to a fountain, surrounded by grass, unconscious for hours. She remained there until a petite ginger girl came up and sat right next to her.
"You awake in there?" The unknown girl asked.
This caused Traxex to wake up startled by the friendly stranger. She took a moment to try and recognize the girl's face, but to no avail.
"W-Who are you?" Traxex asked sheepishly.
"I'm Lyralei, nice to meet you." The stranger replied energetically. "What's your name?"
"I-I'm Traxex." She replied, slowly backing away from her new acquaintance.
"Do you shoot? I saw your bow and it looks cool." Lyralei replied while try to grab Traxex's bow and arrows. "Come on, we can go shoot some stuff outside the camp. Let's go Traxex!"
Traxex, being pulled by the hyper ginger, joined her aiming practice. They passed by various buildings, some with monsters appearing from them and others with strange projectiles being launched from it.
"W-What are these things? Lyralei answer me, this is the fifth time I've asked you!" Traxex yelled ask they swiftly ran past unknown objects. Lyralei, just like before, ignored her.
"I wanna see you shoot, come on already slowpoke!" Lyralei yelled while jumping around the panting Traxex.
