Slowly, you travel on the path, the deep, dark, path. You've gotten this far, why not keep going?
Your hair blows over your shoulders and behind you as you travel deeper and deeper. The forest your path is on has gotten thicker and is now getting muddy, but yet you must continue your quest.
Your quest was given to you by your king and no one betrays the king. You must find the monster and slay it.
No you're not a knight, quite the opposite really, you're a regular maiden. No royal training nor family history. You know no reason as to why you've been sent on this quest yet you must do it.
