Addy pov: 1 person.

I walk through the woods careful not to step on any dry leaves. I load my bow as I get near the pigs eating peacefully. I get closer to them my black cloak draped over my shoulders hiding my glowing red markings. I hear a noise and shot at one pig. My arrow hits a tree nearby startling the pigs into running away. I whip around and see it's just an owl.

"Well, there goes my dinner." I grumble and put my bow on my back. "Are you proud of yourself?"

The owl hoots again then flies onto the next branch of the tree. I shouldn't be so mad at owls. They were my mother's favorite animal and I have no reason to be mad at them. I growl deep in my throat and head back to my cave. Once I get inside, I set my things down and take off my cloak. I've lived here almost my entire life; I dug out this cave myself a few months after my mother died. It has a beautiful red carpet and a small couch near a fireplace. I sit down in a chair and glance near the stairs leading up to my bed which has a secret compartment under it where I can lay down and hide from wild animals that sometimes wonder in here. I look into the fire and then out my open door. I sigh and grab a spare blanket ting it over the door to block out the animals. I walk over near the fire again and pull out my last porkchop. I know it's going to be my last meal for a while. I hesitantly put it on a stick and start cooking it over the fire. I take it off once it's done and start eating saving half for the next day. I walk over to a chest and pull out a song my mother dropped before she died. It was a Aggresium song. I don't know what it does, but I want to learn how to use it. I walk over to my map and stare at it for a bit before I see a bright red circle over one spot. I marked that as a shrine. I roll up the map then head upstairs; I think it's time for bed.


               I wake up a few hours later and grab my backpack, pull out my mother's scarf and wind it around my neck as a good-luck charm. I then grab my two diamond rapiers that my mother gave to me before she died. She said my father made them for her... I never knew my father nor his name, my mother told me that he told her to go raise me in the woods and that was it. That was the closest I'd ever gotten to knowing a thing about him. I sigh and take the blanket off the door. It's another cold day and the rain patters softly on the trees. I go out of my cave and start down further out of the forest. I watch as a few rabbits and other animals dart away at my presence. I feel my cloak billowing in the wind as I slide down a hill and keep going until I see more light.

"That's the end of the forest." I remark and start running. It's still a way away but I know my way around here and start climbing a nearby tree. I jump onto the next branch and dart towards the light entering out into an open landscape, a large mountain sits on the side, and I glance up at it. 

"Mount Velgren." I sigh, I've always wanted to go there, to explore its high, snowcapped peaks and see what it's like up there. I smile slightly then continue on trying to get through to find the shrine. I go up a small mountain and reach the middle of the shrine. I set the Agressium song in a pillar and wait for a moment focusing then passing out.


                  I wake up about 30 minutes later and sit up in the middle of the shrine. My song is still sitting peacefully in its pillar unmoved by me passing out. I get up once more and focus again. This time I raise my hand and bright red spikes shoot towards the Mobilium pedestal then walk up and grab my song. I finally figured it out.
