The town had lain forgotten for who knew how long. Airships that flew overhead noted it but didn't think it was worth anything else. The few traveler's the wandered into it always remarked that it wasn't on any maps.
Located on the borders of two kingdoms no one alive could remember it's original purpose or even its name, the people who lived there simple called it Home. Surrounded on three sides by high mountain cliffs and surrounded by monster filled forests it was a hard place to live in, most people didn't leave the main village. However there was one girl who showed no fear: Destiny.
She stood silently in the forests surrounding the town perfectly competent in her abilities. Her hand hovered over the hilt of her short sword, never off guard. Brushing her dark brown hair out of her eyes she reached and grabbed a few needles off a pine tree. Swiftly she closed her fist and brought it near her nose savoring the smell of pine. A flash of green at the base of the tree caught her attention and she squatted down for a closer look at the plant. Gently she pulled it up and looked it over, satisfied that it was the right one she cut it's roots off with her knife and thrust it into the pouch slung over her shoulder. She stood and dusting her hands off she took one last around, after she was sure it was safe she began to walk back toward the village.
The loud roar shattered the peaceful silence of the forest causing Destiny to freeze, trying to pinpoint the direction of the noise she hoped it wasn't forward toward the village. A second shatter cry rang out and muttered curses Destiny whirled around and raced back the way she had come. As self proclaimed Guardian of the village she would never be forgiven if any one died while she was near by. She had sworn on oath to herself that she would help anyone that needed it, no matter who they where.
Plantress: I was trying to write the next chapter for Ending and Beginning (Grrr..Stupid writers block!) When this popped it to my head! R & R please, I want to know it I should continue.
