~Reader POV~

I wasn't sure what all happened, but I kept running. Barefoot with my torn clothes, I wondered if I was the only one to escape my village with their life.
It had all been quiet, a calm evening, and then bandits came and raided the place. I had tried to fight and find my family, but it was too late; when I found them, they were all gone.

I remember weeping for them uncontrollably. I was unable to save them. And when I saw the bandit who had done the crime, I charged at them with my (F/W). But when I did, two others had come from the burning ashes, and readied their attacks. Realizing I was out matched, I had no choice but to flee.

Now I was racing in near darkness, tears in my eyes. I dashed though the forest lit only by the moonlight. I kept going and going, fallowing the river that ran though my village down stream. So many emotions flooded me right now. Greif, anger, rage, sorrow...

I soon had to stop and catch my breath. I placed my hand on a tree nearby as I panted for air. I glanced to the river, clear blue with the moons light shimmering off it. Kneeling down, I cupped some water into my mouth to refresh my body before continuing. I was still catching my breath, sitting at the water edge.

"How could this happen? Why us? Why Me?! What did I ever do?"

I preyed to the gods wondering why this had to happen to me. Everyone I loved, now gone. My tears came back, and I did all I could to try and stop them, but it was futile. The tears dripped into the river to be washed away. I was alone in the world now that everyone in my family was dead.

*whoosh*
*splurk*

"AGH!" I had felt an arrow pierce my shoulder, lurching me forward slightly into the cold water. I managed to get myself up, on all floors and look behind me. Bandits from the village had caught up. "This one should sell for a nice price!" The bandit with the bow said aloud, face hidden by their cowl.

Suddenly, I felt a numbness in my shoulder, from where the arrow was, and it began to spread, causing a wave of tiredness over me. I grunted and had heavy breaths, and was feeling my body slow down. "Hah! Don't try and fight it, Pal. You can't run with that in your system." Said another bandit holding an axe.

"With 'that' in my system? Was that a poisoned arrow?! Arg, I gotta... keep going!"

I took to my feet and darted down stream once more. "Hey, get them!" Another bandit yelled

"Ease. They can't make it far before they'll collapse. Now watch and learn..." The bandit with a bow knocked an arrow back. They let loose and I felt another shooting pain in my mid back. I stumbled a little, falling over, but didn't let it get to me. I got right back up and kept running. I heard the other bandits footsteps racing behind me.

But I felt a surge of dizziness overcome me, and I stumbled to the side, grazing the side of a trees bark, scratching me. What did they say about the arrow? It had some kind of poison? My legs were growing weaker and weaker as I went on though the forest. It was hard for me to see, as despite the moonlight being able to guide me before, my vision was going blurry. Combine that with the low light of the night forest, and I was nearly running blind.

I heard a crashing sound of water echoing. Soon, a small opening came into my view and I skidded to a stop. The river had turned to a waterfall, a massive drop, possibly about 50 feet. I was dizzy just looking down at the drop, and the poison was certainly not helping that feeling.
