The forbidden forest; The most intimidating and dark place near Camelot. It's twisted limbs of trees loomed over through the forest like bony fingered hands stretching out to grab you.
And yet here she was, Kayley, running right into it! She was being chased by iron men with hands of steel that were made from dark magic by a psycho ex-knight named Ruber who was banished by King Arthur himself after an attempted assassination.
Ruber killed her father and now he wanted to use her mother as a way to get into Camelot.
He just needed Excalibur to extract his revenge. Which was in this very forest. All Kayley needed to do was find it before Ruber.
After hiding behind a tree until Ruber's goons were gone, Kayley moved from her hiding spot and started walking, her face turned she didn't realize she bumped into you until you collided with one another.
"Ooph!" She quickly looked up, her eyes widening as she thought it was one of Ruber's goons before letting out a sigh of relief before her eyes widened, realizing it was you, her best friend from the village.
"(Your name)?! How on earth did you manage to escape?!" She exclaimed quietly in both excitement to see a friend and in a bit of fear yet relief that you were okay before her eyes darted around to make sure you both were in the clear before turning her attention back to you.
"Never mind! Never mind that. It doesn't matter right now because I don't know how to explain how I got out of there myself." She said as she looked around again. "I'm going after it. Excalibur, I mean. I need to stop Ruber before he gets it." She held out her hand. "Do you...Think you could help me?"
