Who let her venture out into the forest on her own...At night?
Well, to be fair, she had a perfectly good excuse. She was in search of a very specific plant that could only be found in this kingdom. Or as far as she knew. She was crouched down in the snow digging through trying to find this flippin’ plant! Popuri huffed, her cheeks puffing up in the process. She would find it, she had to.
She stood up from her previous position and tried another area. Sixth’s time’s the charm, right? In the midst of her search, she heard a few footsteps. Great, she had been caught.
“Listen, I have a perfectly good reason to be out here so lat–” She turned around and was met with a monster that had to be half the size of her! Her eyes widened at the size of that beast. She found herself stuttering and stumbling backward trying to find some kind of stick or something she could use to defend herself with. She was a mage, but not very experienced so she couldn’t really do much there. All she had was a small harvesting sickle to get plants.
If it was what she had, then she just had to make it work. Her hands shook as she held the sickle up. Some more rustling was heard and it turns out, that monster brought its friends. Not one, but four beasts surrounded her all snarling and growling.
“H-Help,” she whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes as she kept backing up.
