Chapter Two: And Then There Was Another
A cloaked figure walked along a dusty path as the sun began to peek over the distant mountains. Head held high, the figure took long graceful strides like an elf, yet their body seemed stiff beneath its layers of scarred armor that glinted in rising the sun. It was visibly scarred from an uncountable number of previous battles, as a sheathed sword clanked noisily at their left hip as they walked.
The figure stopped for a moment, gently pushing back the hood of their cloak. A young woman with a vertical scar on her left cheek squinted at the sunlight. Her face was small and round like a child's, outlined by long midnight bangs that had been too short to reach her roguishly tied hair. There was a line of gold that lined her forehead, went past slightly pointed ears then disappeared into her hair. Her face held a stern expression as she looked up to her right, up into the canopy of trees lining the road. There was a strange aura about her as she stared up at the trees; one that depicted something undistinguishable. She placed a hand on the hilt of her sword.
"Who goes there?" she shouted up toward the trees, her youth revealed in the pitch of her voice. Only silence replied. The girl couldn't shrug off the feeling of another's presence, yet she didn't advance toward it, for the moment.
"I warn you, I am armed," she shouted again now grasping the hilt tightly, yet silence once again replied to her statement. Releasing her sword's hilt, she lunged at one massive tree trunk that was three times her own width. Ramming it with her shoulder, the tree shook violently. Ramming it once more, the girl heard a sudden yelp as a figure fell from the tree into nearby bushes. Taking a few step back from the tree, the armor clad girl drew her sword quickly, spreading her feet to gain better leverage. Glaring at the rustling bushes, a muffled voice groaned slightly.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" the voice suddenly squealed, making the girl cringed.
