Zyrack's Woods
You enter the portal labeled Zyrack's Woods, wondering exactly what a Zyrack is. Soon your question is answered. You hear a rustling in the bushes to your right. You walk to the bushes, your heart pumping....peeking into the bushes, a creature growls, leaping out at you and tackling you to the ground.
You gasp, struggling to get out from under the creature. In your head you hear a voice. Are you friend...or foe? The voice hisses. "F-Friend," you stutter, and the creature steps off of you, standing beside you and looking down at you. You quickly sit up. Sorry about that, you hear in your mind, you never know who to trust these days. You nod. The creature smiles at you. I am Zorma...I am the only one of my kind here. I live alone in these woods..I guess thats why I'm so high-strung. I never see anyone. Your fear of the creature begins to fade. "Well, Zorma, I'm sorry to have frightened you." It's quite alright...but I was sleeping and I'm still a little tired, can you come back later? "Sure", you say, standing. She smiles at you, then retreats into the bushes. You leave.
