She dragged the tip of her blade along the ground, creating a shallow line on the ground. She finally sheathed the thin sword before she stopped only for a few minutes to close her eyes and listen to her surroundings. She could feel the wind touch her skin, and push through her curled, dark Crimson hair that laced her shoulders like an elegant gown. The trees above her dropped colourful leaves on her. She could hear the soft whispers of the forest around her, as if ghosts were trying to warn her of the horrors ahead of her.

Leaves crunched underneath her armored boots with every step she took. The wind picked up which made her shiver uncomfortably. But soon afterwards she could smell smoke in the breeze. She looked up in the air to find black smoke for her to follow, but found only clouds, a bright blue sky, and a sun sinking behind the mountains signalling the long night ahead of her. She sighed in annoyance, but noticed something on the horizon. Small faint puffs of white rose to the sky. She quickened her pace and rushed toward what she saw with a sinking feeling in her chest.
