Elisha has arrived at the city gates of Maplestead. It's been about two hours now since she left her home on her steed. The amount of people is keeping her steed from being able to get inside the city grounds. She spots a stable right near the city gates that allow the steeds of various adventurers rest and recover their strength there. Leaving her identification details and steed at the caretaker, she departs for the town square.

As she's walking, the girl pulls out her pocket watch. [i]"It's already 8:50?"[/i] Panic suddenly manifests on her face. [i]"I'm gonna be late!"[/i] Elisha quickly assesses her surroundings.

The bar that her father used to frequent was to her left, and the weapons shop to her right. That means the town square should be six blocks away. If she was to make it in time, she'll have to run there. But running is a bad idea for her. Yet, it's her only option to get to the location in time.

[i]"I have to do it."[/i]

Elisha readies herself by taking a couple of deep breaths. The girl pulls out her medicine that's meant to help her if she ever gets an attack. She grips the small bag of pills in her left hand firmly. 

One last deep breath.

Elisha races off.

The wind in her face.

The feel of speeding through the crowd and stands.

[i]thump[/i]

Moving her legs.

The adrenaline in her blood.

Turning the corner.

[b][i]thump[/i][/b]

Happy to be alive and able to run.

Letting everything else go.

The town square was in sight.

[b][i]thump thump[/i][/b]

In a few seconds, she was at the town square. [i]"I... I actually made it?"[/i]

A moment of happiness. Suddenly followed up by fear.

[b][i]thump thump thump[/i][/b]

As the adrenaline faded away, the fatigue and pain quickly made themselves at home in her body. A sudden inferno blazes up in her chest. Elisha drops her bag of medicine onto the ground before collapsing herself, gasping for air and feeling very light-headed.

[i]"It hurts. It hurts."[/i]

Her vision was blurring, and her lungs were getting tighter by the second. She desperately tries to reach out for her bag, but it unfortunately landed just a bit out of her reach.
