The Enchanted Forest

As the two of them walks in the tannin-brown forest everything was so quiet... barky and old tress were surrounding the two of them. Thick mist were blocking their sights while walking. Suddenly, a growl was heard in the east side of the forest and they saw a stranger running and shouting, "Run!!! There's a monster chasing me! Please help me", the stranger said to the two warriors. They were surprised that there was a man in the middle of a thick forest.

"What happened?", Fanny asked. The man will start to speak when something starts to appear in the mist. The two of them ready their weapons when they heard a sound of someone walking towards them. It was a man, no an alien or different kind of species. It was indescribable, its a violet looking crystallized predator hunting anything with a sign of life. "Now there's three? How lucky I am today that I can replenish myself in this meals.", said by the unknown creature. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Get lost or I'll not doubt to kill you!", said by Fanny. "Me? you don't know me? I am Zhask the King of the Kastiyans and I am here to kill and reap any living organisms and I'll start with you mere human.", said by Zhask as he raised up his wand and spawn a big turret-like thing. The two fights while Kaja bring the stranger to safety.

Fanny shows her skills as the "Blade Dancer" and use her cables to passed through Zhask's spawned creature and reach Zhask in an instant. She draws out her blade and slash Zhask, luckily Zhask manage to draw his wand to defend himself in Fanny's attack but her attack slash through Zhask's wand and wounded him deeply. "I never thought a human like you could do this to me!, that speed is too much fast for me to catch up.", said by Zhask while holding his wounded body. Fanny takes that oppurtunity to draw her cables to Zhask's chest and instantly dashed through him resulting to make Zhask body into two parts. Fanny was surprised that when she came near to the body of Zhask it self-destructs but luckily, Kaja reaches his help to Fanny and manage to escape the explosion.

"Phewww, that was very close isn't it Kaja?", Fanny asked. Kaja's right wing is wounded and a lot of blood is coming out. "Let me help you my friend." said by the stranger while holding a horse he found in the forest. They put Kaja in the horse and take him in the man's house in the northern part of the forest. "I'm Fanny from Galatia Village and this is my comrade Kaja, so what is your name?", asked by Fanny to the stranger. "Oh sorry for the late introduction I am Estes a moon elve.", replied by Estes. "What are you doing in the woods earlier?", Fanny asked out of her curiosity. I'm finding a kind of tree bark that can help me to focus more in my healing ability because I am a support in a war but now that they are manipulated by Alice I don't know how to get them that's why I am planning on regaining them back tomorrow, by the way your comrade will be okay for 1 hour, the bark I've get in the forest is very effective also when combined to my Code of Moonlight knowledge.", Estes replied.

Fanny asked Estes where is the place where his comrades are and how to get them. Estes told Fanny that they are in Kandelaria where Alice the blood demon queen lives. Estes said that the forest is called the Enchanted Forest and anyone that enters it never came back. "The Kandelaria is 3 miles starting from here.", said by Estes. "I think we'll help you get you comrades back! Besides we're on a adventure and this will never be completed without this kind of fight.", Kaja said to the two talking.

Kaja's strength is now back and Fanny also agrees in the idea of helping Estes. They all decides to initiate the operation tomorrow night so that everything will be done quietly. The three prepares everything they will use for the battle.
