"Aurianna, I'm dropping you off here," Carol announced, and Aurianna nodded.
Her claws released Aurianna's waist, sending her plummeting from the sky. Aurianna yelped with excitement at the rush of free-falling, landing comfortably on her feet amidst the soft marshland mud.
"Do your best to kill and eat as many monsters as possible!" Carol's words trailed behind her as she flew off with Leila.
"Ugh, why did Carol have to leave me here?" Aurianna muttered, grimacing at her surroundings.
A dark green miasma blanketing the shallow, murky waters beneath her.
She wrinkled her nose at the putrid stench permeating the air. "It smells awful here, like something is rotting!" she complained.
Hoping to encounter some monsters, Aurianna began to move around, only to be met with a burning sensation in her throat. The toxic fumes clawed at her lungs, leaving her gasping for breath. However, after a few breathes she managed to stabilize her breathing.
