Leena's trip started out easy enough. She just had to get through the forest surrounding her village, then cross a field or two, and then a river, but then it started to get harder. She looked up at the mountain she was about to climb and for a split second thought about returning to the village, but then continued onward. After a while of traveling, she came across a town.
"This looks like a good place to rest for the night." She said as she entered the town. "Might as well find the nearest inn." She found an inn and got a room. Later that night, see went to the local pub and got a drink. That's where she over heard something that greatly interested her.
"Yeah, don't go west, you're in for sure trouble if you do," One guy said who was sitting at the table next the bar.
"Why? What could be that bad?" Another said.
"Well, I've heard rumors about an entire city being leveled by some kind of demon." The first guy said.
"Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that." Another guy said sitting at the same table.
"Wow. I got to see that," Leena whispered to her self.
~~~~~
After buying some more food the next day, Leena set out on her journey again. She traveled for a full day before coming to what looked like it used to be a town.
"Oh my god. What happened here? Is this the town they were talking about?" Leena asked her self. There were a few tents pitched by passer- bys, and a few huts that looked like they were just built a while ago. Other than that, there was almost nothing left. She saw a monk sitting by a fire warming his hand, protecting him from the cold of the night.
"Hey, what happened here?" Leena asked, sitting down next to him.
"It was attacked by some kind of demon a few days back. Who are you? Where do you hail from?" The monk asked, looking at her.
"My name is Leena. I come from the east. Mind if I stay by your fire?"
"Not at all. Where you heading?"
"I'm not sure, really. I'm looking for my brother."
"I met someone just like you once, dressed in the same style cloths and all. He came from the east too."
"What was his name?!?"
"I don't know, but he went west."
"Oh. I have a question. This might sound kind of weird, but is the story about the gods of the forest true?"
"Ahhh. There's a place far to the west of here. It's where the spirit of the forest dwells. Yes, the legendary god, Zero. I don't know if it's real, but I've heard my fair share of stories."
"Wow. Well, anyway, I'm heading west looking for my brother. I should go to sleep now." And with that, she lay down on the ground and went to sleep.
~~~~~~
Leena woke up early that morning and left. She continued west until she reached a forest. She found a path into the forest and flowed it. It twisted and turned, went up and down, until she reached a clearing that seemed too familiar to her.
"The clearing from my dream!" She gasped. She looked around it from the safety of the trees. Just then she heard a loud crash and saw someone dash through the clearing, flowed by something that sacred the living day light out of her.
It was some kind demon! It was large, about the size of an elephant, but 10 times as fast. It looked like a blob with 8 spindly legs, and seemed to be made up of small worm like things. It had two beady red eyes.
"That smell, its blood!" The small worm like things were its own blood, covering its body. It dashed after what ever it was chasing. Suddenly, she heard something behind her. What ever it was chasing must be behind her! She spun around to see a large white tiger like animal, with a boy riding on it's back.
'The boy from my dream!' She thought. He seemed tall, even though he was sitting. He had a small cloth shirt with a leather vest, and pants. He had a small cloak made of white Liger fur with a hood. Attached to it was a mask and small ears make of stone or clay, to cover his head and face and make him seem un-human, animal like. He had a necklace made of sharp teeth. He held in his had a spear and a bow and arrows on his back.
"Get out of here, now!" He yelled, before he the Liger dashed off. Leena understood and quickly dashed off in to the clearing and towards the other side. Just then, the demon appeared.
"Oh no!" Leena yelled as she backed up. The demon picked up one of its legs as if about to attacked. Just then, an arrow hit the demon right in its blood red eye. It screeched and stumbled around for a second, before turning towards where the arrow came from. She turned too, to see the boy aiming another arrow at the beast. He was no longer riding the Liger.
"Run. Now!" The boy yelled. The demon extended one of its arms toward him. He backed up and aimed another arrow at the beast, but it was to late. The beast's arm latched around the boy's right arm, burning like acid in to his gloves and into his skin. Quickly, Leena pulled out her bow and aimed an arrow at it's other eye, and shot. Her arrow had a stone arrowhead, so it hurt the beast more then the boy's had. The demand screeched again, but it was a screech of defeat. It collapsed to the ground; its bloody acid worm like skin began to melt away, burning the ground. Under it all was an animal, a Boar.
"You disgusting humans. Someday you will suffer as I have suffered." Said the Boar, and with that, it's skin began to melt too, until there was nothing left but it's skeleton. Leena looked over to where the boy had been, but he was gone. Leena said nothing, and continued into the forest, still a little shaky about what had just happened.
'Who was that boy?' She wondered. 'Does he live in this forest? And what was that he was riding? Was it really a Liger? Is this the place the monk was talking about?' All these thoughts went through her head. She walked and walked until she finally found her way out of the forest. She was in the mountains now. She looked around. She was on top of a hill, over looking a lake with an island in it. She looked closer at the island to find that it was a town, or rather a fortress. She smelled the air.
"Iron." She said as she walked down the hill towards the town. She watched as a big group of men led cows carrying rice entered the town. She saw a man, who looked to be a few years older, led it. She was about 16, her self. She walked down the hill towards where the man was standing, watching as the men and cows entered the city by crossing the bridge.
"Um, hello. Can you help me? I'm new here. What exactly is the name of the town?" She asked him. He turned around and smiled. He looked really familiar.
"Yes, hello. You're new here? That's nice, I love new people. This is Iron Town, we make Iron here. Come on in, I'll show you around." The man led Leena in to the City and to a house, which she assumed was his. "My name is Leon, who are you?"
Leena froze. "Did you just say Leon?!?"
"Yeah, My name is Leon, why?"
"Were you born here, or did you move here?"
"I moved here from the east many years ago, Why?"
"Oh my god! Do you remember me? I'm your little sister, Leena!" She squealed excitedly.
"Leena?!? What are you doing here? It's so great to see you! You got all the way here with no help? Wow! So, how are you?" Leon said.
Leena explained everything, about how she ran away, about the village, and about the demon, but didn't tell him about the boy.
"Oh my god, you must be so tired now, rest, please!" Leon showed Leena to a guest hut and helped her get up packed. "Tomorrow I will take you to Lady Naomi. She's our leader. But first, get some sleep, you must be tired!"
