You could feel them gaining speed on you. You clutched your brown knit bag tightly against your chest as you continued to run. Your body urged your feet to carry you away from the impending threat behind you. The thieves were desperate to have the possession within your bag. It was a rare family heirloom of a dragon statue made of gold. You were in the market to sell it for some coin when the thieves barged in to steal what you and others were selling.

You knew you could have left it behind, but part of you hoped to sell the item for coin to a potential buyer eventually. Fingers curled around the bag tightly, turning your knuckles white. Exerting more energy than originally planned for the day, your lungs worked hard on catching air. Your body screamed for you to slow down, but you pushed yourself onward.

There had to be somewhere you could go to and lose them at. The dirt from the path you were on kicked up dust from your feet pounding on the ground. There were several trees around you. Some had green while others showed their age. You could pick up the sound of running water fairly close to where you were at. You took a left on path to see about the water.

You followed the sound of the water, ears becoming attuned to the sound. It was louder now and then you saw it. A waterfall. The water crashed into the river below it, keeping up consistently in loud rhythm.

The thieves grumbled at losing track of the (hair color) girl. They had seen her take a left and tried keeping up with her. They weren't able to tell exactly where she was at now. They talked amongst themselves and decided to split up. They would not give up the chase.

You took this moment by the waterfall to catch your breath. Bag still clung tightly to your body with your now sweaty hands, you heaved your lungs to breathe as normally as possible. You looked around yourself to ensure that the thieves weren't close by. When seeing no sign of them, you wade through the river to the other side where there were some white, slightly gray boulders.

Some of the boulders looked to be climbable. Would it be a good idea? Maybe best to wait. You instead sat behind one of the boulders, leaning against it. At least this way, the thieves couldn't spot you so easily should they choose to come in this direction.

You closed your eyes, body finally calming down from all of the running. You felt yourself begin to relax when you suddenly felt movement behind you. You widened your eyes and bolted away from the boulder, fearing it may have been one of the thieves.

There before you, a golden, orange eye looked at you. You wanted to scream but feared giving yourself away to the unwanted company looking for you. The eye took in your form; (skin color, eye color, ragged blue clothing, hair length, and hair color) is what greeted it. You didn't understand how this boulder could have an eye on it.

Was this some sort of joke? Black magic? While it wasn't doing anything horrible, you still could not help feeling nervous from it. Why did it keep looking at you so ardently? Before you could ponder anymore about it, the boulder that had the eye on it began to take on a different shape.
