Maisy bent down to examine the birds, because that seemed like something people would want to see. "S-s-so I killed all these...murder bird. And I think what happened is, when I did that, their house disappears because they weren't...loving there anymore."
"Creepy." She said, picking it up and turning it over in her hands. "Why is it sparkling?" At first she'd through it was just a trick of the sum, but the sun was already going down. Suddenly like the tree the bird dissolved in her hands, leaving behind a black feather and a rusty old ring. 'What?' She asked, but then the feather and the ring both turned white and vanished inside her.
She yelped and pawed at her breastplate for a few moments, but it wasn't like it had hurt. Curious, she went over to the either birds. They both dissolved like the first one, one into two feathers and the other into a feather and an old nail. All of this stuff went inside her too. "Is there a way to get this out of there?" Asked nobody.
She made her way back up the hill to the chest that had appeared from the dissolving tree. The last bird was nowhere to be seen, but she pulled open the chest. She found a small pile of gold coins, a loaf of bread, a red liquid in a glass bottle, and a feathered talisman.
She reached in and ate the bread, savoring how good it tasted. This was the best bread she's ever eaten in her life, and out of the corner of her eye she watched her red life bar filling back up. Everything else vanished when she held it in her hands too long. The coins made a cute, satisfying tink tink metal sound as they did, which made her smile.
She stood up an looked out love the field. As the sun was going down she could see things starting to move across the fields, thing that obviously wearn't players. Before she won her fight she'd wanted to quit, but now she supposed she could play just a little longer...
She only realized his far she'd gone once the sun came up the next morning as she was burning the head of her lance in a strange, multi-colored wolf creature.
At first she'd been scarred of running out of life, but she'd found that if she just sat down somewhere safe it would slowly but surely come back. Monsters had kept attacking her, but she'd somehow always managed to fight them off and she could swear it was getting easier. She'd found a river by accidentally falling into it in the dark while running from some bats and nearly drowned, but after letting herself sink and walking out along the bottom she'd sat there and admired how pretty it had sparkled in the moonlight.
"Cool water in this game." She said. Even ifmitmwas full of monsters this place was certainly prettier than the inside of her room.
She'd followed along the side of the river, mostly to avoid other players, until in lead her into a forest where she'd gotten into and out of her wolf predicament with a generous heaping of violence.
Now she was totally lost. Every tree in here looked the same and there was less room to avoid monsters. Not to mention those wolves had been stronger than what she'd met in the plains. She was almost about to give up and log out when she heard something, a whistling in the woods.
It was something at least. Human contact, unfortunately, but also maybe a way out? She was just going to have to bite the bullet on this one.
She rustled and clanked though the underbrush until she caught sight of a man standing in front of some kind of mound. Her immediate instinct was to hide, but that wasn't going to get her anywhere.
"Uh..." She started, sliding halfway out from behind a nearby tree. At least it was one. At least it was only one. "Excuse me. Do you know how to get back to the field? I-I was following the river but the wolves chased me in here and I really liked the field."
