Time mutters some sort of spell. You two begin to go faster, and the world blurs around you. Finally, you reach a forest. "This is the Eastern woods. Fate's seal is in that direction. As you know, fate was sealed into a void. To this day, even though he was freed, there are some pieces left of him in there. We need to get them out and to Destiny as quickly as possible to get them destroyed. Right now he is only a tiny fraction of how powerful he was before. We must hurry before he finds those pieces."

Ahead of you, you see a hut with smoke puffing out. I try to see if I can see inside of the hut

Just as you peer into the window, a young woman slams the door open and points at you. "Who are you!?" She demands. "Why are you here?!"

Orchena jumped back frightened. "My name is Orchid." she said not telling the woman her real name. "I am just wandering along and I came by here."

"Why would you come to a witch's hut? I cast protection spells around it. Should be invisible. You even penetrated the barrier. I felt it, so I come out to see you peeking in my window." The lady narrows her eyes. "Now, explain yourself."

As you run South, exactly the way you came, you run intro the beasts. The leading beast slashes at you, but you duck and manage to only get a shallow cut.

(I thought I came from the North..?)

She kept on running, she had to find the city in the South

Orchena looked bewildered. "I never knew this was a witches house. I am sorry, I didn't know."

(You turned, remember? You took the risk and followed a path. Tip: try to trick them, negotiate with them. Running away will not solve all problems)

You head South, once again crashing into a forest and stumbling through the undergrowth. Due to too many vines, your progress is slow. The beasts, sensing you're trapped, begin to play a game of cat and mouse with you. Every now and then one comes up and gives you a scratch. They are waiting for you to tire out.

(I turned East.. so wouldn't I be heading back West??)

She looked if she had any sort of food or something

"Witch's castle, to be exact. All witch's dwelling places are called castles. I modelled mine to look like a hut. My friend South, however, has a huge castle. Well, what can I help you with?"
