In the forest, there was a deathly silence.
"Ugh... this place feels really bad..."
Asuna held her rapier, scanning her surroundings as she advanced along the path. Eiriri stood not far in front of her, vigilantly watching the bushes on both sides and occasionally glancing at the map.
"Don't worry, at least there shouldn't be any enemies nearby... But it's really strange, isn't the starting map usually meant to get you familiar with small creatures? How have we gone so far without seeing a single one?"
"It's so dark everywhere, and these hanging branches are really uncomfortable too."
