The First proper dungeon, shouldn't be too hard, but nothing is ever easy right?

Your first steps into the Forested Forest and you immediately feel the difference in the tension in the very air sticking to the inside of your lungs. The atmosphere of the town was warm, open and inviting to the new spirit. By contrast the forest feels like you've walked into the open maw of danger. What lurks beneath the dark canopy you wonder, hidden by tall trees that have stood the test of time, from when men were but mere babies before them to the dust of old age beneath them. For the first time you actually feel the exciting twinge of danger and it dawns on you that few adventurers live long enough to become dust. Fewer still become legends. Are you meant to die here, unknown? A kid from the Bronx in unfamiliar seas, wrecked amongst the flotsam of the banks of adventure? Destined to be devoured by the denizens of the dark domain? This oaken abode? This-

*Tell me when to go*

"What?"

You look into the bushes at the familiar intonation you swore you heard.

*Tell me when to go*

*Tell me when to go!*

You know what you heard as you exclaim, "By the spirit of Earl Stevens!?"

Ixy looks at you quizzically, "What now?"

The diminutive demonette seems puzzled by your fascination with the sounds of the forest, "Don't you hear it? It's too early in the day for me to be going mad with nary a grey hair on my balls!"

Ixy tilts her head, "Actually we're losing light pretty fast here so we really should try to cover more ground."

You prepare a rebuttal to how she's able to tell time in this dark forest when you hear it again.

*What's my favourite word*

You can't help yourself, "Bitch!"

Ixy raises an eyebrow, "Le fuck?"

*Why they gotta say it like Short*

Again, you have to give respect to the Bay, "Bitch!"

Ixy shakes head, "Great, he's already cracked."

Ixy puts a hand on her bow, "Let's see what we can salvage for parts. "

You try to explain to her, "This forest is possessed by the west side!"

Ixy stares at to plainly for a moment before taking a few steps and parting some nearby bushes.

As you peer into the trees you see a variety of red and blue fairy like nymphs flitting around while reciting Cali legends.

Ixy explains, "Bay faeries. We don't know where they came from or what their purpose is, but they hang around on the outskirts of civilization spouting whatever nonsense this is."

As you look over the gang coloured nymphs you are once again reminded that you aren't the only thing from your world in this world. And clearly those who have came before you have made an impact. It's a gentle reminder that everything strange and new becomes familiar.

You adjust the bushes, hiding the creatures once more and look to Ixy more focused. Prepared to undertake whatever it is you are destined for in the this world.

Ixy smiles, "Good, I was worried for a moment they've upgraded from stealing panties to brains."

"They do what now?"

Ixy smiles coyly, "Mischievously little things, if we hang around too long I'll have to walk around this forest with no panties on. Just imagine, crouching down to start a fire, bending over to pitch a tent..."

A tent starts pitching in your pants.

"Well...", Ixy takes off in a sprint, beautiful ass getting further and further.

She shouts back, "Keep up! I only packed one tent and your sleeping outside it if you can't stay close."

"Wait what?!"

You begin running after your party member, " How am I not going to get lost when my guide is running off without me?!"

Chasing after her and feeling a renewed grounding to these forest lands you feel somewhat calmed in the unnerving surroundings. But this calmness betrays the fact that there is more in the forest than just faeries.

A glowing pair of eyes watches you from afar through a ball of crystal, "Look at these cuties. Fresh meats for me? The world is too kind...."
