The forest had become more wild, more feral and untouched than the one she had come from. Even the energy was more primal and vibrant as if the outside had not poisoned its aura - that is when Asri knew she was where she was meant to be. The cries of wolves were more pure and the waters of the nearby stream sounded calmer and it filled the ranger with a sense of relief, to be in a place of natural flow. It was easy to navigate as well, whispering ancient words upon her tongue allowed her the gift of hearing the whispers of the wind. Leaves rustled and swirled, pointing her to the direction she was destined to be at. Before long the sight of the majestic castle came into view, jagged, wild rocks daring attackers to breach her walls. To its entrance was a lone warrior, clad in armor that was almost shaped as if the warrior was born into the steel.

Asri's steps were soft, even walking causally, the ground and trees seemed to welcome her presence as if she were one of them. Taking into account she had appeared here like many others and stood before the intimidating castle and its guardian, Asri seemed unusually calm in her approach. [color=38cfff][b]"Hail guardian,"[/b][/color] she called out to Bradamante, waving her hand slightly, as if to greet a familiar friend. She paused just short of arm's reach and offered a polite smile to the construct. [color=38cfff][b]"I wouldn't be surprised if you knew why I am here -"[/b][/color] she started, [color=38cfff][b]"- but even if you don't, I know this to be a safe haven. My name is Asri. Might I ask yours?"[/b][/color] The woman had no signs of fear or nervousness in her question and if anything, an aura of calm flowed outwards from her.

Truth be told, Asri wasn't quite sure [i]why[/i] she was here herself, only that she was [i]supposed[/i] to be here. She had been tasked with finding a castle that only the lost could find, a place of knowledge, mystery, and of answers. Why [b][i][u]she[/u][/i][/b] had tasked Asri with this, she could only imagine as to the reasons, but she knew them to be of a good and pure nature. Asri knew she was meant to be here, for a reason, and in time it would reveal itself.
