ch1 gaze into the darkness

'run, escape!' those were her only thoughts, ignoring the burning pain throughout her entire body, she ran through the forest, past the trees into an open plain.

but her pursuers would not allow her to escape, the pursuers were wearing heavy armor yet ran as if they were not wearing anything, some even ran on all fours like rabid animals while growling as the distance between the two sides became less and less.

in the middle of the plain there was a large ravine, it was known as the 'abyss', the 'abyss' had always been there. no one knew where it came from, or why it was there they only knew one thing and that is if you enter it, you never return

she was getting tired, very tired.

she knew she couldnt keep running so she had thought of a plan, after the distance became so small she could feel the pursuers breath on her neck she quickly jumped to the side barely avoiding a pursuer that jumped at her.

this caused the pursuer to fall into the ravine, with a long howl it dissapeared into the dephs of the ravine, while this got rid of one pursuer she was now surrounded as the other pursuers growled and closed in on her.

she pulled her sword out of its scabbard and readied herself for battle, but before the two sides could clash an arrow was fired at her from the trees, she manages to dodge making the arrow barely miss her, however the dodge took too much effort as her body couldnt take much more.

noticing the weakness the pursuers madly jumped at her, pushing both sides into the ravine.

as she was falling she couldnt accept it, she didnt want to die! yet she was still dying, she couldnt feel her body as her sight was getting blurry, 'this is the end' she thought as everything went dark.
