The quest begins

They rode off into the country side. Lauren, quickly growing bored, began asking questions.

"Where are we going?" Lauren asked.

"The the Ashen Wastelands, home of the Shadow Queen." Sir Marlis explained.

"Uh, what are we doing there?" Lauren asked.

"There you will face the Shadow Queen and defeat her." Marlis said confidently.

"How the hell would I do that?" Lauren asked.

"I... do not know." Sir Marlis admitted. "It is what the prophecy says."

Vaniss scoffed.

"The prophecy... what nonsense." She said, riding ahead.

"Forgive the doubt of the elves." Sir Marlis said to Lauren.

"Actually, I agree with her." Lauren said.

"Do not doubt yourself M'lady!" Sir Marlis declared. "I have faith in you."

Hours passed. They passed from the country into forest. Finally, Lauren had to speak up.

"I've got to get down for a minute." Lauren said.

"Why M'lady?" Sir Marlis asked.

"I uh, I gotta pee." Lauren said, blushing a bit.

"Ah. Then we will take a break."

They dismounted off their steeds. Lauren stood bow legged, her thighs in extreme pain.

"She doesn't even know how to ride a horse!" Vaniss pointed out.

"She will not defeat the Shadow Queen with horseback riding." Sir Marliss pointed out.

Lauren, feeling awkward, uncomfortable and embarrassed, waddled off into the woods to find a place to pee.
