For what felt like hours Alyon got dragged over the dirty forest floor before being whipped up into the air as she dangled by one leg from a high tree branch. She rapidly looked around to see where she was but the night darkness made it too difficult for anything to be made obvious except for her imediate surroundings. Through the silent air she heard a creaking and groaning sound of heavy, thundering footsteps as a being grew closer to her. Alyon attempted to slowly swing herself towards the nearby tree trunk, but with every bit of movement that she made, the vines wrapped around her leg tightened.

She looked forward towards the source of the footsteps and could see a large shadowy figure that stood about 3 meters tall, carefully inch closer before it lowered it's head down to examine it's freshly caught prey. It's strong, woody face came into focus as it approached Alyon and it started to light up a glow from deep inside it's fractured skull.

[color=7ea7d8][b]"A woodland spirit..."[/b][/color] Alyon whispered as she remembered folklore tales of beings that lived in the forest as living trees.

[b]"And another treacherous human,"[/b] it replied as it examined the girl that it had captured. His eyes glowed with an orange light that was both hypnotic and fearsome. [b]"You creatures are nothing but thilth! Needlessly chopping down my brothers and sisters, burning us in your fires, turning us into your weapons of war, and leaving our home scarred and empty."[/b]

As it spoke Alyon could feel the spit of sap come from the creatures mouth and land on her body. She held up her hands in a way as to try and reduce the amount of tree slobber that landed on her face, but it did very little. [color=7ea7d8][b]"No, no, I'm not like that. We don't want to harm your home! We're only heading to the Ryhmbrook Crypt, to look for person that went missing before winter."[/b][/color] Alyon tried the excuse that Fraya suggested earlier of being a part of a search party that was looking for a missing individual. As she expressed her concern she could feel her body rotating while it was suspended in mid-air. From the expression that Alyon saw on the woodland spirit's face, she could tell that it didn't seem to go well. The woodland spirit instantly grabbed Alyon by her limp leg and began to wander off with her in it's grasp. [color=7ea7d8][i]Crap, wrong answer again?[/i][/color]

[b]"That human was after the Stone of Blight. I will not allow you to enter that cursed land and spread that disease!"[/b]
