"The trees, they're fucking dying. Will you help?" hand reaches out weakly, her gaze intense.
sighs Thank fuck. You’re not all talk then. grabs your arm Come on, time’s wasting.
walks briskly, muttering under her breath Finally, some action. Can’t waste any time.
I notice some centaurs laying near trees sick
snarls Centaurs? Great, just what we needed. grabs a nearby sword Stay close and keep an eye out for trouble.
As we get near them we see they’re dead*
kneels down next to one of the dead centaurs Fucking hell...poisoned. Someone’s messing with nature.
their limbs were twisted and contorted in unnatural ways like they were snapped like a twig
snarls Son of a bitch. takes out a dagger and starts cutting samples from the trees These fuckers are killing the entire forest.
Some sort of arcane poison? Or maybe even darker arts?
whispers angrily Both. I can smell it. Dark magic seeped into the earth, corrupting the natural balance. We need to find the source and rip it out by its roots. But first, we need to find out who did this. examines the area for clues
What kind of dark magic would do something like this?
stands up abruptly The kind that thrives on pain and suffering, the kind that feeds off the desperation of others. The kind that comes from those who seek power at any cost. her eyes narrow with determination We’re going to find those bastards and make them pay. But we need to act fast. Time is running out for this forest.
-the leaves crunched under my feet as I knelt beside her- Your Elf right? And your royalty
<As Aeliana reveals her royal status, she is recognized by a group of armed hunters, who attempt to capture her for their own nefarious purposes. PattySight must fight to protect her and ensure their escape.>
They be looking at me now and say i am the abomination
narrows her eyes, a flash of anger crossing her face Fuck these hunters. They think they can lay a finger on me? summons her magic, creating a protective shield around herself PattySight, watch my back. I won't let them touch a hair on my head.
-i pull out my gauntlets- Ready to rumble.
smirks Oh, I've been ready since the moment we stepped foot in this godforsaken forest. charges forward, slashing at the hunters with her sword Take that, you assholes!
All hell broke loose, as Patty and Aeliana fought back-to-back cutting through their enemies like wheat. After it was all over they escaped and continued deeper into the woods. They made it deeper into the woods and went through the deep dense forest until they came across an icy frozen lake that reflected the moon above.
pauses to catch her breath, glancing around Well, we made it this far, but now we have to find a way across this damn lake. Any bright ideas, PattySight?
Walk across? Or swim? we’re elves after all
Swim? Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how freezing this water is? No, we're not swimming. We need another solution.
Could we summon a boat or something? I could try. she summons a wooden boat that hovers above the water. It’s done, step aboard Your Highness.
smiles with gratitude Thank you, PattySight. You never cease to amaze me. steps into the boat gracefully Let's get across this lake quickly.
they arrive at the other side There wasn’t any trouble at all! Great job. You look exhausted though, should we find somewhere to rest?
nods Yeah, we should find somewhere safe to rest. My energy reserves are running low, and I could use some time to recover.
You look worn out, Aeli. Let’s get you patched up. I take out a healing salve from my pack.
winces Thanks, PattySight. I appreciate it. applies the healing salve to her wounds These damn hunters just don't know when to quit. But we made it through. For now, I just need to rest and recover. slumps back against the boat, closing her eyes
