"Sir Elias-" the Butler was interrupted mid-sentence by sir Elias throwing things around.

"Sir Elias" he repeated, "Sir Elias"

"What?!", the Butler stepped back a bit surprised by the scream of his master.

"Lady Elizabeth, ran away into the wood-", he said in a timid voice, yet interrupted once again by the shouting of Elias.

"Oh Lord, you didn't stop her, you saw her ran away without following her and you didn't even send someone to look for her, yet you decide to tell me now! When did she go?". Sir Elias was full of rage, his only enjoyment had escaped from his claws.

"During night time, Sir" he answered.

"Get me a horse, NOW!", Sir Elias ordered.

After a while, the butler appeared at the entrance of the mansion with a horse and waited patiently for Sir Elias to come out. He was wearing a shining, silver armor and a plentiful bag of food— in case he needed to be out for too many days—.

He hopped on the horse and pronounced his last words before leaving the mansion for a far long time:

"Notify everyone that I'll be gone. And if they ask why simply say that I'm running some errands"

"Yes, Sir" said the butler while bowing before his master.

The Butler lost sight of the horse and his master the second they entered the forest, not even the most relucent clothes were able to to show themselves in such a profound darkness.

Lady Elizabeth had been away for one night, this second night she was supposed to be found by her psycho of a brother, but something went terribly wrong. None of them took the time to know this woods that surrounded their house, taken out of a myth, a dream, a legend, a nightmare, a fairytale... It doesn't matter how you describe it because just one thing is true, it didn't pertain to this world.
