"Sigh… damn."
"Neighhh…" Esprit whined quietly.
"Yeah I know girl. We're lost." After I snuck out of the castle, Esprit and I started our journey. It's been ten hours since I made my great escape. But after we left, we headed into these dark woods, and got lost. Sigh… Well I don't know anything about the world, so I was bound to get lost at any point. I took out my map, compass, matches, and my lantern from my satchel. I slowed Esprit to a stop so that I could get of and look at the map. I lit the lantern with a match and unfolded the map, and held the lantern over it so that I could see it. "So there's the kingdom of Brellomore, and there's Iredale Castle, and I don't want to go near Armetus Kingdom, which is east of Brellomore. So I headed west into this forest called the Old Birch Forest." I kept observing the map, and couldn't find a way out of this forest. I looked at my compass and I moved in a circle to find where the compass was pointing west. When I found it, in front of me was the other part of the forest, but much darker than the rest. I was nervous, and took a big gulp. Okay, I can do this. "Well, I guess we need to keep heading west Esprit. It's our best and only option for the moment. I then folded the map back up and slipped my map and compass into the bag. Since where we are heading is getting darker, I'll keep the lantern lit. I then hopped back onto Esprit. "Okay girl, you ready to venture forth once again?"
"Neighhh!"
"Okay, let's go."
How many hours has it been? How many days have gone by? I'm still in this stupid forest, and I can't find a way out. Is there even a way out? Is this the end for me and Esprit? Sigh… I'm very tired, I'm sure Esprit it exhausted as well. I'm also really thirsty because I ran out of water a while ago.
"Esprit, let's take break." I said as I pat her head. We slowed down and found an area that was surrounded with a few rocks. I got off of Esprit, and I was so tired that when I set my feet on the ground, my knees collapsed and I fell onto the ground. Esprit also gave away and laid down on the ground. Man, I'm so tired that I can't even stand up. I'm so sleepy…
"-eighh! NEIGHHHH!" I shot up from sleeping and opened my eyes! What's going on?! I looked over and Esprit was jumping all over the place. I ran up to her to calm her down.
"SHHH! It's OK Esprit, I'm here girl. You're okay." All of the sudden, I heard a twig snap from behind. I turned around and saw three gangrel looking creatures. What on earth are those things? They came from behind the trees with wooden clubs with nasty spikes popping out from the end of the club. Oh dear. Luckily I had still had my weapons on me, so I reached for my shield and unsheathed my sword. "Stay back Esprit!" I then charged at the ugly creatures and swung my sword at them one by one. Then they all died. Phew… I did it. I suddenly heard growl from behind me. I turned around and saw there were about ten of those creatures. "GAH!" I jumped back, and behind me were about ten more of those hideous creatures. Where are they all coming from?! I then had no choice but to just attack them all. I slashed my sword at all the creatures, but everytime I killed a monster, more would appear. Damn it! What do I do? There's no end to them. Without warning, a creature from above me dropped onto me and started to attack me. I couldn't see where I was going, and I felt more of the creatures climb on top of me. "GET OFF ME!" I shrieked. I then fell onto the ground and was wailing my arms around trying to get them off, but it was no use. I felt blood flowing down from everywhere. I had so many open wounds and I had a hard time breathing, and I could hear Esprit whining and crying for help. Is this the end for me? Is this how I die? Suddenly, There was a light that flashed brightly around the area, and I closed my eyes from the glaring rays and covered my face. A few seconds later, the light started to fade away, and I blinked my eyes a little bit, then opened them. Those revolting creature have disappeared. What? Where did they go? I looked around and found Esprit to be calm and collected again. And the forest seemed to be brighter than before, it was actually hurting my eyes since I've been in these woods for a LONG time. From the corner of my eye, I saw a floating ball of light a few feet away from me. It was very beautiful, very alluring. I kept looking at it while I was trying to stand up, but I fell to the ground and all I saw was a deep, dark abyss…
