Chapter 2: New Faces
While recovering from her hit-and-run incident with the Bone Fletcher, a few faces arose in the fountain. The first was a familiar face, belonging to the man who saved her life. The man appeared from inside a bundle of trees rapidly growing in the base.
"Thoughts cross my mind as the sun crosses the sky." The large man proclaimed.
Traxex, recognizing the voice, backed away from the sight of her previous savior. Rooftrellen noticed the girl retreat, and smiled at the sight of her. He knelt down and offered a hand to her. From his hand, roots and vines leaked onto the ground, surrounding Traxex. She felt a comforting presence, as if the plants were healing her wounded leg.
"T-Thanks again sir. I'm Traxex, nice to meet you." She stated, while her eyes avoided the man.
'Treant Protector." Was the man's only reply. He then left her with a smile.
Rooftrellen walked down the path headed north, while Traxex sat there perplexed. Lyralei started giggling and left her friend in order to hunt. The lone girl remained there, taking in the silence and enjoying the moment. The sight of a drunken, pandaren shocked her.
"The master arrives." The unknown creature screamed as he hiccuped and tilted from side to side. "Well now, here's a new face. I'm Mangix."
"H-Hi, I'm, I'm Traxex." She said, avoiding more conversation with the inebriated stranger.
The man hazily walked away as Traxex calmed down from meeting new and obscure people. For a few more minutes, Traxex enveloped herself in the serenity of silence. The next person to arrive didn't scare her nearly as much as the last.
The man raised himself from the ground as he said, "There is purity in silence."
Traxex remained still as the man didn't seem to notice her. She seemed somewhat in a trance by his outer appearance. It wasn't until he was leaving the base when she slightly moved, and brought his attention to her.
"Who's there?" The man snapped. "Come out now."
Traxex revealed herself to him and said blushing, "H-Hi."
The man, cautious of the new person, "Who are you?"
"I'm Traxex, n-nice to meet you." She said, offering a hand to the man.
The man's only reply was,"Nortrom."
"C-Could you show me around? My friend just left me here and I'm not used to this place." Traxex questioned, starting to blush while waiting for a response.
"Alright, come along." Nortrom said while continuing on the path.
Traxex sped up to him while amazed by the lack of pain from her wound. She followed him east of the base, surrounded by these small creatures running down the path.
(Author's Note) I'm gonna do my best to upload at least one chapter a week, if not more. The story is going to go this way for a chapter, and maybe two. This story isn't ending anytime soon, so stick around. If you have any suggestions that you want me to introduce, just leave it in a review or send me a message. This story is staying K+ so if you want anything not rated PG-13, wait for a bit. I might make a spin off from the story for different scenarios. In Chapter three, Traxex is going to learn how to fight.
