  1. Arisa could feel her skirt rushing up as she slid rapidly down the slide in a tunnel of darkness. She felt like she was moving at an incredible speed, and had been for the better part of a minute now. Still confused how she ended up here when last she was fighting the hag, soon her thoughts were interrupted by a light up ahead. The slide flung her out into the air before sending her crashing to the ground. "Ow...well, at least something was here to break my fall" she said, rubbing her lower back.
  2.  
  3. "Yeah, that would be me."
  4.  
  5. "Oh, paladin guy. What are you doing here?"
  6.  
  7. "My name isn't P- whatever, it isn't important. Get off me."
  8.  
  9. Arisa stood up off the back of the dark skinned half-elf she had broken her fall on. He quickly got to his feet as well, dusting off his clothing and armor before looking around. "Where in the heavens are we?"
  10.  
  11. Around them stood what was clearly a swamp, with what appeared to be well kept grass and a small path leading around some of the waters. In the distance, incredibly thick trees lined the perimeter, with no light at all cracking through their trunks. The water was a murky blue, punctuated with small lily pads every so often. The sounds of bull frogs humming could be heard all around. Arisa noticed an oddly colored dragon fly land on one of her arrows for a brief moment, before starting its wings again and taking off.
  12.  
  13. "It looks like a swamp. Hold on!" Arisa focused, pouring her senses into detecting what she was used to tracking: people. But the only one she could sense was her companion. "Fuck, no use."
  14.  
  15. "Your language is unbecoming for a lady."
  16.  
  17. "What the FUCK do you mean?"
  18.  
  19. "Nevermind. How do we get out of here?"
  20.  
  21. Arisa sighed and looked around, before looking back down at the ground. "Well...there is a path."
  22.  
  23. "You really think it would be that easy?" The paladin adjusted his gear and pack before taking a deep breath. "Okay, then we'll set forward. That old bitch will not escape me, I will find her and slay her."
