The Mistwood is a dangerous place, where a step off the beaten path can spell doom for anyone foolish enough to go wandering through it. Denizens lurk in the shadows, mysterious beasts who defy explanation are are lurking in wait for some unfortunate traveler to cross their path. It’s impossible to say what the things are truly like, because so few have survived an encounter with the thing.
But even fewer Denizens have survived an encounter with Threo.
She comes crashing through the forest’s underbrush, axe clutched tightly in both hands. A toothy grin splits her face as she looks side to side, trying to find the trail of that monster she’d seen only moments before.
“Ah, come on! I was having a good time!” she calls into the fog. “You weren’t supposed to run away! It’s really rude to just leave in the middle of a fight, you know!”
As the girl continues to search, her eyes finally alight on a figure in the mist. But as they become clearer, Threo smiles as she recognizes the familiar figure. “Oh, captain!” she calls, waving. She takes a moment to wipe the dirt from her face before bounding up to the girl. “I didn’t even know you were here! I guess the smell of that monster was blocking out your own smell!”
She leans in for a moment, closing her eyes as she takes a sniff. “Hmm... You smell different, captain. I don’t really know how to describe it... Anyways, did you see a really big monster come through here? I almost had it, but then it ran away! And I really wanna know what it tastes like!”
