Intro
The forest was nice this time of year. The trees were the greenest and the sounds of nature acting as calming background noise as you walked down a small stream, enjoying the world around you. The sun bled through the cracks of trees above, casting a wonderful glow in the forest, enhancing the experience more.
As you walked down the stream, you heard a peculiar noise that seemed to grow louder the more you walked. It was the faint sound of grunting, almost like someone in pain. Curious, you crept to check out the sound.
You were led to a wall of bushes where the grunting was right on the other side, followed by the faint smell of smoke. You moved aside some of the leaves to take a look inside. Inside, a woman was hunched over on the ground, holding her stomach as she squeezed her eyes shut. Her skin was red and long, black hair covered her face. The most interesting part of her was the fact that her skin seemed to be on fire, small flames flickering off her body as she panted in pain.
You took a step forward to get a better look at her, but you stepped on a twig, snapping it in the process. The woman's eyes shot open and in one swift motion, she reached across herself and pulled out a crossbow, aiming it straight at you before pulling the trigger, causing the arrow to fly straight past your head, penetrating the tree trunk right beside you.
The woman looked into the darkness where you stood, an expression of ferocity, mixed with concern and worry etched her face.
