Oerba Yun Fang, nine years old. Haven given the Matron the slip after a dare by some of the local boys, the child managed to get a bird and make her way to these set of caves.
The boys however stayed on the birds while the girl got off. "Lets turn back, we shouldn't go in there."
"Fraidy cat chocobo butts!" the child replied moving closer to the cave door. "It'll be fine! You'll see! Not many monsters in these parts!
"We will get in trouble!"
"Not if we don't get caught!" Fang turned towards the cavern entrance and noticed the boys were leaving. "Chocobo brains. Well, I'm not afraid. This place looks cool!"
Fang ran inside the cavern until it got too dark to see. No matter, she had a glowing rock that can be used to light the way. Twists and turns later, Fang found herself lost in these caves.
"I'm not scared," the girl told herself. Surely they will eventually come looking for her, right? Those boys did love to try and get her in trouble with the matron every chance they got.
"Hey mister!" she called out. "Why you sleeping? You lost?"
