The journey through the forest was already making Yoshina regret her decision to wear the maid outfit. Her standard getup would easily make her comfortable enough to trudge into the thick foliage. But the unnecessary frills and thick coating of the maid uniform was not making the journey for the Sangakuan Princess easy.

At all.

[color=9e0b0f]"Gods, I knew I should've went with the more practical outfit."[/color] She muttered in her native language, mentally beating herself for valuing the quick response from her to the journey rather than bothering to change outfits and make them wait a lil bit more.

She has seen the little bit of conversation between Thaddeus and the group, and him vanishing into the forest. There were some sounds coming from the forest the moment he vanished, but nonetheless. The group decided to go inside, and the Princess, while very nervous, still decided to continue.

[color=9e0b0f]"I have went through battles with tens of thousands of men, seen the horrors of war and uncountable atrocities, and yet I'm still afraid of a dark forest. Just what is-"[/color]

Her inner monologue was cut short when she noticed something grab into her ankle. She looked down, and saw a vine, a shiver ran down her spine, a part of her telling Yoshina that she's in great danger. Then she heard the Firetail's call for help.

[color=1a7b30]'HELP! Someone chop this piece of fire wood off me!!'[/color]

Seemingly out of nowhere, vines shot out from the darkness, quickly gagging the Sangakuan Princess, grabbing both her arms, and dragged the Red Haired woman deep into the woods, the Princess screamed for help, her heart rate rapidly quickening and her eyes widening and scanning the treeline for anything she could put her hands to hold on to. [color=9e0b0f][i]Please please please find something Yoshina[/i][/color] The Princess talked to herself as she tried moving her hand to grab a branch.

Much to her distress, even her well muscled arms are still no match for the grabbing power of the vines, eventually dragging her into a tree where they originated and slowly entombing her into it. Yoshina is not sure what this tree has planned for her, but she didn't stop her incessant struggling. She NEEDS to get out of here, best case scenario, she will be connected into the tree itself, becoming a dryad, worst case scenario though?

Either way, she has no desire to turn into a dryad when she's already a wood elf for the moment. Her muffled scream didn't reach the distance needed to alert the group, who were already occupied with their own issues among the hostile trees. At least the tree hasn't choked her... yet.

But then the vines seemed to recoil, Yoshina could barely see Shina doing something. But the sudden recoil was not enough for the Sangakuan Princess to do much of anything.

Including a sudden series of soft vines prodding her backside, it seems like the tree really wanted her to merge with it.

Oh gods no!

[color=9e0b0f]"HMMMM!!!! HMMMMM!!!"[/color] The Princess shouted as strong as she could, faintly hoping anyone in the group would notice the missing Princess.
