Maple: Poachers? I see. *gets up, brushing herself off* I should probably take off then.

Nessa: Hold on...have you seen a man, in garb like mine? He's tall, with a large beard.

Fastoon: I hate poachers, Some tried to get Fang here last week.

Maple: Ummm... No. Can't say I have.

Nessa: *sighs, and looks down* I've been looking for him for weeks. I came from up in the Doleran mountains, too.

Fastoon: Maybe we can help.

Nessa: Really? But you're a complete stranger...

Maple: I'm not helping a complete stranger! Four of them looked at me funny!

Fastoon: I meant Fang and I. I am Fastoon Greenheart. Pleasure to meet you both. Anf this big fuzz ball is my best friend and mount Fang.

Nessa: I am Nessa, of the Shatterback Clan. The man I'm searching for...is my father. He went missing a few months ago, and I've been looking for him ever since.

Fastoon: A pleasure. Fang is an excellent tracker. I trained him myself.

Nessa: A saber cat, all the way from the north? But you're an elreed...right? 
The sun lowers in the sky, and the wind rustles the leaves and underbrush, suggesting a sinister presence.

Maple: Oh no, I really gotta get home now-Wait, I'm supposed to be on a journey of elemental discovery, I can't go home just because I'm scared! >,<

Nessa: "A journey of elemental discovery"? Are you searching for elements?

Maple: I wanna learn how to summon stronger and bigger elementals, so that's why I'm out here.

Nessa: Yeah, I saw how weak your wood elemental is...I'm actually kind of surprised you made it this far...>,>

Maple: At this point, my fireballs are a more effective means of combat. >.>

Nessa: Huh. Well...I must take my leave, then. *starts walking off into the woods*

Maple: Wait, where are you going? Don't leave me here! Q.Q

Nessa: Um...I'm going to find my father. No offense, but I'm not sure you could help out in my quest. *the spectral image of a deer appears behind her* So...goodbye, I suppose.

Maple: What exactly is that ghost image thing you're doing anyway?

Nessa: You've not heard of the beast echoes? This spirit magic has been in my tribe for generations. If I slay an apex specimen of an animal, I can use their abilities, for a short time. But I only have a deer and rabbit echo...

Maple: An apex specimen? Like an alpha wolf?

Nessa: Sort of, yes. Or the largest stag in the forest, the most fearsome bear around, stuff like that. I've always thought the rules were convoluted at best...but these echoes give us superhuman abilities.

Maple: I see. That sounds amazing!
