The soft rustling of the leaves, an occasional chirp from a bird, the clicking from insects, and the sound of her own breathing. All this and the smell of flowers and grass made Din smile to herself.

She sat at the edge of a near crystal clear lake. Her legs crossed and hands in her lap. She slowly took a breath in... and let the breath out. Her pack of clothes and food were a few feet away, along with her spear and bedroll. Smoke and and ash were all that were left of the fire she had had the night before.

Another deep breath in, and she heard a roar from miles off into the woods. She jumped, but beyond that did nothing. She realized that the creature sounded incredibly far away, and though it would take something pretty big to make that sort of noise it would take anything that far away a while to get to her. She would be fine.

Din exhales. This time she hears a loud crash from across the lake. Then trees snapping crashing and earth shaking thumps in the earth. 

She stands up quickly, her meditation for the moment over. Grabbing her spear from the grass Din begins to walk around the lake.

A man comes flying out from the trees, and Din notices towering above the forest is a monster she has has never seen. While her attention is taken up by what to do about the beast, she suddenly hears a high pitched screech that makes her cover her ears. Lucky for her since the Groon's roars followed soon after.

Din looks to see the monster charging at the stranger at a deadly speed. As far as she could see the person had no intention of moving, overcome with fright more than likely. So she does what any good person would do and runs at him herself.

If it were a fair race the Groon would have beaten Din without question. But lucky for the stranger she was closer to them than the Groon was. So she would make it just in time for both of them to get out of the way.

As she ran towards them Din yells, "Move!" She then jumps to tackle Alphonse out of the way.
