Aislinn rode her horse through the woods, branches from the trees going past her in a blur while galloping. The sun lights up her firy autumn red hair when she suddenly comes to a halt when a fallen tree lays on the middle of the road. She glides of her horse and pats its black fur coat. After studying the fallen tree for a while to see if she can move it around, she gives up. ''Come on! Why do things like this always happen to me? Things always get in my way.'' She says with a sigh. With no luck, she climbs on her horse again ''Hmm there must be another path, right? Charis show me the way please.'' And so, she continued her travel.
Slowly it becomes night and the sun is already set. She's been traveling for a while now and starts to get tired and hungry. The only things she has with her are some coins, a loaf of bread, a knife and some water. All of a sudden, she hears something rustling in some bushes nearby, thinking that it might be a rabbit she tries to walk closer to it but Charis stands still. Aislinn feels that Charis starts to get nervous "What's wrong girl? Are you afrai- '' Then she hears a low growl from behind. Aislinn slowly moves her head to where the sound comes from. A big grey wolf stares back into her eyes and starts to run towards her. ''Shit! Charis quick, go as fast as you can!'' Without a blink of an eye they go as fast as they can, avoiding every branch and rock they come across and trying to shake the angry wolf off. When it's almost dawn they finally lost him.
It isn't her lucky day at all, first the fallen tree, then the wolf chasing her and her horse and if things couldn't get worse she has to stay the night without sleep. As tired as she is she still keeps going down the path. To her surprise she sees a light flickering from a tree. She walks closer and closer to discover that it's only a lantern, but what is a single lantern doing here? She looks around to find any clues when she sees human footprints next to it in the dirt. Deciding to follow it, the woods becomes more open and she starts to see more lanterns. Charis comes to a halt and next to her there is a sign. ''Welcome to Irragin. A town full of magic.'' Aislinn reads out loud. ''magic huh?'' without any resistance she begins her journey.
