The woman in red seemed somewhat bewildered by the responses she got from you. On her face it was clearly visible that the suspicion from before only increased. She ignored Harmonic’s hand and continued to speak to the rest of the party.

[b][color=ed1c24]“You don’t know where you are? You don’t even know each other?”[/color][/b] She looked at you as if expecting someone to tell her she got things wrong. When no such response came she sighed and facepalmed.[b][color=ed1c24] “This day is just getting better and better.”[/color][/b] She proceeded to speak to herself. [b][color=ed1c24]“My mount got scared and ran away, I got ambushed by assassins, and now I met these weirdoes. The only thing I am missing now is…”[/color][/b]

Her complaints were interrupted by the sound of something bursting out from the foliage. That something was familiar to you- it was one of the three raptors from before. 

[b]“Hurry up!”[/b] He was shouting to someone behind him. 

[b]“I’m trying! I’m trying!”[/b] The second raptor followed right behind him. 

[b]“OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT”[/b] To complete the sense of déjà vu, the third raptor also appeared, chasing behind the other two. His tail was no longer on fire- in fact, it was no longer there. 

The woman in red readied her sword when the first raptor appeared, but realizing that the creatures aren’t even aware of her presence her body froze and her face took on a deadpan expression. 

[b][color=ed1c24]“I had to say it…”[/color][/b] Her voice sounded like it was on the verge of crying. She moved her eyes to the direction the raptors ran out from. There, a faint light green glow was approaching you. Several tendrils made out of light began appearing from the foliage, some wrapping around trees while others moving towards you in eerie manner. Behind the cover of green you could hear the sound of something moving. The woman shouted to you.

[color=ed1c24][b]“Follow those three, you should reach the road soon! Run as fast as you can if you want to live!” [/b][/color]Her sword burst into flames and she swung it towards the tendrils, sending out a fireball that exploded on impact with the trees. Tendrils disappeared for a few moments, but the approaching something was still moving at the same speed.

You are not sure how long the chase lasted. Few minutes? An hour? It was hard to care about the time when you had to worry about avoiding trees and not letting up your speed, while occasionally casting glances behind you. The woman in red was also running with you, far at the back of the group, the one who was likely to be hit first by the thing that was chasing you. 

Correction, [i]things[/i]. You could see glimpses of them. Some were small, goblionid, some looked like giant animals, some like extremely beautiful men and women and some were simply alien.  You could hear their laughter and cries of excitement as they moved through the forest seemingly without any effort. Fortunately, the path towards the road was easy to follow thanks to the red woman’s liberal use of fire magic (or whatever it was) when she was chasing the raptors. 

For a split second you contemplate the mysterious paths of life where the hunter became the hunted in less than five minutes. 

Arrival at the destination was quite sudden. In one moment you were still running through thick woods which didn’t show any sign of ending, and in another you find yourself on a wide paved road. You could see the trio of humanoid raptors lying on it, exhausted, but also a few piles of ashes *gulp* and bunch of weapons and other stuff scattered around. 

Turning around you see the red woman coming out of the woods, breathing sigh of relief as she steps with both feet on the chiselled stone. Behind her a small critter jumps out of the greenery, but stops mid-air as if it hit a wall. Slowly, it slid down, towards the ground, casting a look full of murderous intent at you, mumbling something you couldn’t quite make out. Few light tentacles also appeared but they were stuck the invisible wall as well and then retreated back into the forest. Laughter and shouting which was following you during the chase slowly died down. 

The red woman crashed on the ground in exhaustion. 

[b][color=ed1c24]“Hah, safe!”[/color][/b] She spoke in between deep breaths. [color=ed1c24][b]“Sit down and rest.  I’ll take you with me to Verzales. From what you told me earlier I am guessing you are in dire need of some civilization. Oh, and my name is Charlotte. Charlotte Ognien.”[/b][/color]

She cast a quick glance at the raptors. They were already sleeping. [color=ed1c24][b][i]“I don’t even care anymore…”[/i][/b][/color] you could hear her quietly mumbling to herself.
