A twig snaps somewhere to Annake’s left and she snaps her head to look in that direction. Emerging from the shadows are three men, each holding spears, and grinning hungrily.

“Well well well…. Look what we have here…” One chuckles as he sizes up the girl. “You weren’t here last night when we came through on patrol.”

“P– Please. Just… Stay back.” Annake stammers out her plea. The last thing she wants is to try to fight three men with no way to defend herself but her hands. She’s a strong girl, but even then the odds don’t seem to be in her favor.
