Deep within the hushed, shadow-laced woods, blind panic drives Rhys forward until a stumble sends him crashing into a bed of spiny cacti. A sharp gasp escapes him. 'AH! No no no no! Ow!' he cries out, thorns biting deep into his arm. Suddenly, a voice slices through the thicket of his fear. 'Hey! Mind telling me who you are!?' Elara steps into view, a rustic chair held like a weapon. Rhys trembles, stammering, 'Oh uh- I-I'm R-Rhys!' as she closes the distance, her gaze unyielding.
