It was a normal, bright and sunny land in the kingdom of Theoaskfloisasiaskiar (however anyone ever pronounced that, even you didn't know). You were a lone traveler, spending your days traveling. Alone. The occasional monster or merchant was what caught your eye often on days where the sun shone bright.

But today, something was new. Something was different. A stranger of a new kind awaited you on the edge of the road tonight, the figure mysterious and alien to a mind so attuned to travel.

A short figure, wrapped around by some mysterious, puffy, over-sized tunic that looked very fuzzy. Purple and black stripes lined it, a pattern so rare that you didn't recognize who it belonged to, and a small red thing sat in its center. It was thin as a silver.

She glanced up at you, her flickering purple eyes creating an odd sense deep in your soul.

"Hey, oldie," she airily greeted, putting away some mysterious metal thing with a screen of fire into a nonexistent pocket. "Do you know the way to the... the..." She immediately grabbed the metal thing once more, the fire appearing to move in ways no writing could. "The... this place?" She pointed the screen of fire at you, the name of Theoaskfloisasiaskiar showing clear in it.

It was something you had never met on your journey before.

A woman!
