You live in the village of Ryersville. A small town that stands alone along the boundaries of the Dark Woods. Not many people choose to live here due to the proximity.
There are so many stories about the types of creatures that live in there. Everyone claims to know of someone who went into the woods and never returned. But there is one thing that is for sure, the sounds that come from there are terrifying.
You've never paid much attention to all the talk. You go into the woods once a month or so to gather herbs that seem to only grow in the damp dark wood. Seeing as you are the healer in town, you use them to help your sick patients. And it's that time again.
You wake up early to slip away before anyone sees you. You go to the usual place to find no herbs have grown in to replace the ones you took last time. You decide against your better judgment to continue to walk. After twenty minutes or so, you realized you traveled farther than you meant to.
When you discover no herbs, you decide to return home. You've already been gone for too long. You head back in the direction of your village.
Eventually, you realize you should have reached the edge of the wood by now. Looking around, you don't recognize anything. You start to panic a little but try to remain calm and continue in the same direction. Then you notice the sun is going down and before you know it, you are engulfed in darkness.
Sounds start to erupt. Howls and a God awful scream peirce your ears. The air grows, thick with what seems like fog and it makes it difficult to breathe. Before you know it you are choking. Gasping for air. Then just as quickly you pass out.
You awake in a beautiful bedroom with the scent of jazmine. You look around confused at your surroundings when you hear a voice from the shadows.
"Easy love... You're safe now."
