Antrica: The Fallen World

The clouds were rolling and the sky almost seemed to be partially greened/blacked out from the rain storms. A muddy brown Carriage with 4 people inside of it was going as fast as it can with 4 horses and reinforced wood wheels. 

Carla Sageville looks at the driver "Keep going no matter what or you wont ever see the light of day!" She hits the driver on the back in commanding fashion. A bluish aura starts to fill the air of the carriage cabin that makes everyone shake. "Trust me you would never walk again if we get caught." Fazar Sageville puts his hand on the driver's shoulder as he releases the magical aura. 

"Look at her boys that's the famous Carla with her beautiful brown hair and red eyes." The shirtless muscular bandit leader screamed out while shooting a arrow at the cabin. "Yes Boss we cant wait! GET HER BOYS" The other bandits cheered and screamed at the top of there lungs.

"Mom I'm scared" Rylla looks up and grabs the bottom of her dress and squeezes, you could see her vanes throbbing in her head. "Child don't cling to me" Carla looks over at her husband Fazar and they both nod and agree on something. They always seem like they could agree on the same thing on the spot, as if they were talking to each other in their minds. Fazar picks up Rylla by The arm and mumbles something out of his mouth. "Dad stop that hurts!" Rylla flinches and try's to escape his grasp. "Here you deceitful bandits take this and leave us alone!"

*THUMP

Horses halt and look down at the injured 10 year old.

"HAHAHAHA YOU THINK THAT WILL STOP US WE CANT SELL HER" The bandits kept running after the carriage in the distance. 

All of a sudden the world is quiet again and nothing is happening. "Why?" Rylla looks around and all she see's is big pine trees and rain. 

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why"

"Wait for me guys."

The storm begins to get worst, and lightning crackles and booms on the horizon. Rain flows down the tree trunks and leaves, bullets of water pound on the top of Rylla's head. The cold, wet, muddy ground is horrible to stand and walk on as the trail seemingly disappears as the forest grows darker.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mud begins to splatter on her tattered red and black dress as she cant see and hears noises in the woods behind her.

"MOM!" Rylla screams for the last time, She was in shambles and constantly running down a slowly disappearing trail deeper in the woods. It seems like she spent hours running and hiding from animals and creatures. Losing her way and taking multiple different paths she ended up lost in the middle of the western Zylak woods. 

*THUD

"AHHHHH" Rylla begins to trip and fall along roots. "Help Me, Please someone!" She cries for help but gets no answer and cries even harder while running. The barking and howling behind her gives her a hint of what is to come if she stops.

Running and running through the dense rain of the near pitch black woods Rylla weaves around tree's and large mushrooms to get away from the area. Cuts and bruises start to form all over her body as she misses tree branches trying to run. Thunder crackles and lighting strikes near her, its almost a scene out of hell. 

*sniff "AHHHHH" crying and tripping the adrenaline does not stop running throughout her blood as she hits a tree head on just to get back up and start running while seeing double of everything. A cut opens on her leg that cuts deep into the skin. 

After hours of running and hiding she stops on top of the hill and there's a gigantic boulder. The rain has already started to concede and move away. 

A red aura emits from the boulder that almost seemingly lured her in almost as if it was pulling her limp body at some points. She felt warmer and more comfortable the closer she got. Scared and alone, anything that even gave her the slightest comfort she would trust.

"What do I have left anyway?" Rylla walks up and touches the boulder.

"It feels...warmer up here." She leans against the weird boulder and finally collapses like a dead body and falls asleep after a long night. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cat walked up to where the hero was buried to check the area of its small domain mainly because wolfs were heard last night.

*WHAT THE FU-

Hairs spiked up on the cats fur once it saw a young elf sleeping against the great boulder. The young elf was shivering and tears were flowing out of her eyes like a waterfall. Running over to the young elf the cat noticed something. In other matters she had forgotten the boulder had magic casted on it and no one is suppose to be touching it but her. After all the cat did not want anyone digging up the hero's remains if they were to find them. She also felt responsible for taking care of someone who cursed life at the end. They did die on her land. She felt responsible. 

Blue/purple waves burst out under the gray cat and she noticed a very faint aura...coming from the hero's grave. 

"Marked by the hero's mana huh? Seems he still wanted to help another person in need even after passing and cursing humanity." The cat scoffed and walked to the young elf sleeping. She had long blonde hair and looked to be around the age of 15 or 16. Having checking her eyes to be green her spirit dropped. Green eyed Elf's are treated harshly and as outcasts in the elf world. She was wearing what used to be a red and black dress but which is now basically rags. She had cuts and bruises everywhere with blood soaked into the skin at this point. There was even a small blood puddle where she was sleeping from a puncture wound in her leg.

Pink aura was next, it emitted like waves around the area some mixing with the hero's last remaining red aura coming from the ground. The wounds and cuts were healed instantly. 

"How did she not die being this far out and injured? We are hours from the nearest trail in the most dangerous parts." she started to wonder and reached out to check the young elf's mana in the brain.

"Nothing but a little light...I guess luck can be a skill sometimes." The Cat sat down while looking at the grave and then the beautiful sunset on the horizon while remembering the hero wondering what to do next with the elf.

Then in her domain still, something like a meteor came crashing down.

"What the hell is up with today." The cat started walking towards it.
