LittleNightmareTale: Ashley's Quest

Prologue

I was sprinting back to the kingdom of tiny wolf-humans. I was one of them. Well, to be precise, I am 'The Hero to Human-Wolves'. They all knew my name, Ashley. Unless I was sent for a meeting in the castle. I was called 'Miss Ashley' then. I ran into the mouse hole before the hungry Froggit got me. Everyone welcomed me back and huddled around me, trying to see what I've brought. I brought back food from the giant goat lady's house. It was hard to sneak in, but I managed. "What did you bring in?" asked one of the guards, checking my bag, only to find bits of food.

"Just some food for the hungry people" I responded to his request as I handed him a piece of bread. He nodded and thanked me for the food. As I handed out the food for everyone, my friend Lily ran up to me and hugged me.

"Where have you been, Ashley?" She asked worryingly, "I thought you left and never came back!"

"I was out doing my chores for everyone, so don't worry" I said as I handed her a grape. I then walked off to the palace for the nightly meeting. As usual, talking about how troops should look in the snowy area for another place to live. The forbidden snowy forest was dark and always cold. I've been hearing rumors of how some wolf-people would go in the snowy forest and never come back. I just kept my mouth shut until it was my turn to speak. After the meeting, I went to my house, it was tidy as always. I was getting ready for bed until I heard a knock at my door. It was strange how someone would be up at this time. I answered the door to find the general of the guards at my door, tall and well built. His ears, however where scarred up and had little tears on the tips. "Hello, General. How can I help you tonight, sir?" I asked as I looked at him in the eyes, showing no fright of him.

"We need you on our mission, Miss Ashley. We're going to search the snowy forest for any survivors." I was shocked at his request.

"Right now?" I asked as he nodded. I would think that it would be a good time for us to sneak in the goat lady's house while she was sleeping. I accepted his request, and got ready, wearing my favorite blue long-sleeved shirt with my blue jeans. I got my cloak and my bag and head out the door, walking beside the general. I call him that because his name is too long. His actual name is 'Axel the 3rd', But I used to call him Axel. He doesn't like being called that, guessing he didn't like the nickname because it sounded like a kid's name.
