Chapter 1
Alone in a darken forest a young women speeds off panting frantically as she runs past the trees. Her long brown cape flows behind her and smacks against the trees as she goes. A one point it gets caught and she fell to her knees. The young women, Aeris through her face up to see the incoming Behemoth that stomped madly at her with anger lit in its eyes. Her wide emerald eyes gleamed with fright as she sat defenselessly on the ground.
Aeris through her hands up at her cloak that began yanking frantically at it and it torn fairly easy. She didn't dare stay a moment more as the footsteps began to crush through the ground. An ear-piercing roar rolled through the woods. Aeris could feel it's hot putrid breath against her neck as she ran. She knew she had no hope of escape if she didn't gain speed and with that she yanked her left hand over her head and shot a haste spell upon herself. She raced faster and faster picking up speed as the spell began to settle in.
Aeris knew that if she didn't trick the beast off there was no hiding from its keen sense of smell. Panting from loss of breath she fell helplessly to the ground awaiting to die. She watched as the shadowed behemoth moved in closer and then reached its paw out to strike her. Aeris squinted her eyes closing them tightly, readying herself for the blow but nothing happened. She suddenly felt lifted and she slowly opened her eyes. Another person was above her; She could feel his hands around her waist as he carried her. She could tell it was a man from his form and how strong his hands were. She didn't dare move in fear she might frighten him into dropping her.
The rumbling of the ground continued as the behemoth came after them now. Aeris didn't know what to do now, her magic had been depleted earlier and her strength had been drawn from her body. She lay quietly as she listened to the man's steady breathing from jumping the roots that stuck upwards really far out of the ground.
Aeris's long brown hair fell from the hood on her head and dangled over the man's shoulder. She slowly moved her hand behind her head and reached for it pulling it up piece by piece so not to disturb him or let him trip over it. The rumbling began to fade and the man's pace decreased quickly. He came to a large red wood and laid Aeris down in front of it and collapsed next to her in a hurry breathing in heavily with his head bent low with exhaustion. Aeris reached over to him and softly placed her hand on his shoulder mouthing to him the words "Thank you," Since she was too weak to speak. The man only nodded his head as he sat there trying to regain his breath.
She tried to look into his hood trying to figure out who he was but the darkness made it impossible to see anything in his hood. Then the sudden rumbling returned and the man held his breath while Aeris's eyes lit up and filled with fear.
