-
"Yup, I'm also a baroness."
-
"Interesting. So am I." [b]He looks down.[/b] "So [i]was[/i] I."
-
"The man I spoke with said that you have been to one of the shrines, is that what stopped you from continuing your line of work?"
-
"Yeah." [b]He takes a drink.[/b] "It was the Northern shrine."
-
"What did you see there?'
-
"You wouldn't believe me..."
-
"Hey, I've seen crazier." [u]"She has a good point."[/u] "And you picked this time to talk, Lupa?" [b]another voice leaves her mouth, it was female and sounded distorted, as if it was either robotic or supernatural[/b]
-
[b]he shrugs it off.[/b] "The trees and plants... They came alive and attacked me, then these... Savages tried to take me away. I barely escaped with my life, and I've stayed here to warn other mercs ever since."
-
"So the forest is a living being. This is going to be hard."
-
"It's all a blur. I wish I could tell you more." [b]He finishes his drink.[/b] "The last four went in all different directions, so take your pick. I can see in your eyes you won't back out now."
-
"You're right. I need to know about this now that you told me about the forest."
-
"Maybe I should just leave. I probably spike more interest than lives I save."
-
"It's fine, I mostly want to learn about this world. Maybe the forest will understand that."
-
"Good luck."
-
"Thank you. If I don't make it back, keep this as a thank you for the information." [b]vaaxius hands him a shock pistol, heavily modified[/b]
-
"Thanks. I don't do much work anymore, but maybe it'll help."

[b]vaaxius nods as she gets up and walks to the door[/b]
-
[b]There are four paths leading to the forest. One at each corner of town. Which do you choose first?[/b]
-
[b]Astrid goes to the west path, taking in the sights[/b]
-
[b]Many thriving food plants, tea trees, and cash crops are growing, very close to eachother. It's appalling that they don't choke eachother out.[/b]
-
[b]vaaxius smiles as she makes sure that all her weapons were with her. She was ready for anything[/b]
-
[b]The perfect-for-export plants slowly fade as she goes deeper, the canopy making the forest almost pitch black even though it is midday.[/b]
