Let’s not talk about that
Elaine had come to the forest of Demise for one purpose and one purpose only-
To prove Alora wrong.
And for that-
She was on her own today.
With her trusty shorts sword strapped to her waist, and small buckler at the ready-
She ventured within.
Just from the moment she’d gone in-
She saw-
Beasts.
Lots of them.
Alone, she wasn’t good enough to handle even two of those things at once-
However- that was why, she carried repellent; rotten pig intestines.
Great for deterring monsters; not so great for her nose and wellbeing however.
“Still…” Elaine mumbled to herself- “Let’s do this!” Pumping herself up.
Her goal- her quest- To get the crown of the sleeping elder lich.
However-
Every step she took, every monster’s gaze she noticed- almost always sent shivers down her spine.
Even the murmur of the leaves made her shiver-
‘Why am I doing this?’
What was the point?
Even if she managed to convince Alora that she was good enough, what then?
