She missed the last train home. It shouldn't have happened, but when one thing came to another, she missed it. She didn't own a car due to her life in the city. She also didn't have any friends with a car to call. The poor thing didn't know what to do. 'I guess I'm walking home. Man this blows.' As the girl was about to turn and leave, however, the sound of clanging rails met her ears. It sounded like a train was approaching. She turned around only to see it right in front of her. There was no indication that it had stopped in the station. Not thinking much of it, she took the chance to jump on, wanting nothing more than the opportunity to go home. The moment she entered, something immediately felt off. No other passengers. No words escaped the intercom. And the train didn't look anything like a standard model. 

Deciding to ignore it for the time being, she brought out her Nintendo Switch. The young woman clicked into Tears of the Kingdom before continuing on her grand adventure as Link. She loved all sorts of games from Nintendo, but her absolute favorites were from the Zelda franchise. She loved all of the games, finding a special place for them in her heart.

"Ticket." A deep voice spoke. Looking up, was a ticket master. He had a conductor's hat on, which covered any visibility of his face. Anything she was able to see was covered by a Volto mask, a simple style that covers the entire face, and depicts basic facial features such as the lips and nose. It covered everything except for the eyes. The hat was covering that. Downward, he was wearing a conductor's suit. His body structure was odd, considering he was top heavy with very think legs and arms. "Ticket..."

"I'm sorry, but... I already paid for my ticket. You should know... considering you work here." He continued to stand there. He was staring down at her Switch, before grabbing it from her. He searched the game library, before gifting it back. He grabbed a paper out of his pocket, giving it to the spooked girl. 'It's a ticket...?' The thing before her disappeared, nowhere to be seen. Finally, after a moment, the intercom went off. It was incoherent. She couldn't make out a single word, before it voiced:

"Attention all passengers. We are arriving soon. Please wait for the train to descend."

"Descend?" The girl questioned to herself, before the train left the tracks. From the way of entry, the train started to disintegrate. She tried to run for the next cart back, however, the process was too fast for her. Before she knew it, she began to fall. Below her was a large forest that expanded further than her eyes could process, but how? She had only been on the train for less than five minutes. Not even light pollution could be seen on the horizon. But there were more important matters for her to deal with. She was falling to her death after all. 'Please... someone save me! I don't want to die!!' And then her mind went numb. She was out, as her body hurled downward. However, she wouldn't die. Rather... something far worse than death was just over the horizon.
