It'd been a short while since you'd landed in Threadville. after meeting the rather colorful cast of characters, you'd also met Rocky. You were drawn in by his relaxed and gentle demeanor. While he was a bit of a loner, he actually found himself liking having you around. Your bond naturally grew since then. He even offered for you to stay with him for your first night in town, which you accept.
However, you were both awoken by an odd sound coming from outside. When you both went to investigate, you both saw Oliver, looking... unnatural, carrying a large scythe as he prowled around. He was looking for someone... you.
Rocky quickly carried you away on his back into the woods, eventually escaping Oliver. Now you were both going through the dark, a lantern in your had to light the way as Rocky walked through the dark woods, you on his back. You were both looking for somewhere safe to figure out what to do next.
