Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: An Unexpected Visitor

Petalfin runs to the nearest restaurant, and sits down. She drinks a blue-green Strengthening Smoothie, and observes the scene. There was a small group of girls, giggling wildly, a beautiful woman looking around, an old man eating hungrily, and more people. Petalfin felt a bit of guilt for leaving her friends, but they desrved it, right? They tried to take her somewhere without her knowing, they called her cra-

Something caught her attention. A shout. It was coming from downstairs. She went downstairs, but a staff member blocked her. "Miss, it's the dungeons. You wouldn't want to go down there." Petalfin said, "Really, I would want to go down there. Now step aside." The employee blocked her. "I said, move aside." He gulped and stepped aside. Petalfin went down the long, windy staircase. As she moved closer, she saw four mysterious figures.

"Who's there?" Petalfin bravely asks. "Petalfin! You're here!" A familiar voice rang in her head. A cloaked figure steps out of the darkness. "Scarlett?! How are you here?!" A shocked Petalfin asks.

"I teleported." Scarlett wrote on a paper.

"From where?!"

"The Void."

"How?!"

"Potion."

"Wh-"

"Alright enough with the chitchat." A high-pitched voice said.

"Why are you beating Scarlett up?"

"She's a Bandit, she's caused enough trouble here. Go away." A deeper voice answered.

"I won't."

"You think you're so brave."

"I am." Petalfin hits the man, and he gets mad. He attempts to punch her, but she twists his arm instead. He falls to the floor. Another man gets to her from behind, and places her in a chokehold. Petalfin elbows his stomach, and he faints. The remaining thug attempts to hit Scarlett, but she throws a Stunning Potion at him. When his head hits the hard, cold floor, he blacks out.
