In every city, on every continent from Serido to Mille Seseau, there was posted a reward. There was a giant creature terrorizing the town of Seles. They were asking for strong warriors to slay it.
"Five thousand? Who printed this?!" An angry voice reverberated through the Castle of Basil. The King of Serido was pacing his study. He crumpled the page and threw it across the room.
"ARMOND!"

A small sigh escaped Marmalade as she stared down at the wanted poster. She had just moved to this small town only to have it plagued by a monster. Her eyes flicked to the reward 
5,000 gold coins.
How could that be afforded? Marmalade shook her head, it didn't matter. The money could help her settle here. Start a new life. With little effort, she lifted her scythe to her shoulder and headed to the forest.
No sooner had she entered the forest, did she realize she was lost.
"Damn trees. Everything looks the same!" Marmalade said exasperated, kicking a rock off a short cliff. There was no monster, no exit, no hint of another person. What a dumb idea, coming out here alone! Marmalade walked over to a stump and sat down, rested her scythe next to her, then buried her head in her hands.
