The knight was entering in another part of the forest, suddenly she can feel a hand pressing her shoulders, she turns back and see that Loraine open her mouth.

-So... I've got some stuff to take care of... You can handle this on your own, right? I'll be back as soon as I can.

Putting again on her face her strange smile she walks away letting the knight alone in the forest, just a bit latter she can see a strange scene. The white beast that the Guardian saved from a cage not so long ago is approaching a piece of meat on the ground. But, as soon as he touches it a trap fall on him trapping it for the second time. Immediately two big orcs emerge from the wood and surround him. The blood of the knight boil and she jump straight into the battle. A swing of sword, a dodge, another one and the battle end rapidly. The knight breaks the cage letting the beast go. She tries to take a step on his direction, but he growls. Scared she back off but the beast stops and walk slowly. Encouraged the knight approach her hand and finally...No, the beast jumps on her, his teeth cling to her armour, she struggles as best as she can in panic. The beast finally let go and flees without asking for his rest, leaving the guardian short of breath. As soon as she is okay, she ran too trying to reach the beast, but she soon looses him. Meanwhile she finds a red-haired girl with a little hat.

-I came to see the famed Mystic Forest... but this is just another dung-infested forest of goblins! Help me spread this on FaceBreak. People should know!

*Angry elf started following you*

On her way she passes by a door, when she tries to open it the door don't move, she decides to go on the other path promising herself to come back later. In the other way, another girl is standing. This time she is next to a corridor. Curiosity winning, the knight approaches her. She has long white hair, behind her, two large quilts reaching down to her legs, her skin is slightly red and her two emerald, green eyes sparkle. She wears a small Oni mask on the right side of her hair hiding one of the two small horns that emerge from her head.

-Heya traveller! My name's Lana, the local speedster! My mom calls me... Lighting Counter! Anyways, I need to race to remind myself how good I am. You up for a race?

The knight nods.

-Now that's what I'm talking about! Let's go!

The two of them get into the starting position.

-Ready? First one to the finish wins! 3... 2... 1... GO!

The knight run with all she got, she focuses on the final line and push her muscle but when she reaches it and turn her head, she sees that Lana has arrived first.

-Ha Lana... the Lightning Counter! You were pretty fast... to lose! I'll let you lose again anytime! Come back if you're up for another defeat.

The knight decides to go but swear to come and beat her the next time. Lana smiles sure to win again. Next to the field the knight falls on a clearing. A chest stands in the middle. Full of hope the knight open it and... nothing come out. She walks on the right, shake it, walk on the left, shake it again and... nothing. She continues to stand in front of it full of questions when a huge growl is heard. From the woods just next door a gigantic wolf emerges carrying a masked goblin on its back. The wolf hit her sending her waltzing across the clearing. Stunned she doesn't move when the wolf walk in her direction. Boom. When the paw of the wolf hit the ground. Boom. The ground shakes. Boom. The wolf is at only one step of the knight. Boom. The goblin opens his mouth as he orders his beast to kill her.

-Ha! Human weak!

The wolf raises his paw, but he doesn't have the time to lower it that a white silhouette emerges from the thicket and scratches the wolf's face. He steps back revealing the little white beast.
