They managed to leave the town in the middle of the night with Serenity on their back and with a backpack on the other's back. They made it to a small opening by a river where they set up camp. They stayed there for weeks travelling back to the town in disguise to get food and supplies. As time goes on they notice more and more guards and more wanted signs for them around the town.
After about a month they decide to pack up again and move on Serenity now able to walk on her own she follows slowly behind in the beginning but the parents decide to carry her. As they reached the road to get over the river guards stand there investigating each person going through.
They walk into the line and get checked, the guards quickly discovered who they where and took Serenity into a orphanage and put her parents into jail.
Serenity grew up in a big church with hundreds of other children. She stood out from the rest with her ocean blue coloured hair and graceful stature. During the many years she spent there she snuck out at night to assist injured animals, She slowly considered them family. Making friends with various animals of different elements.
when she was about 10 a group of rich adventurers came looking to adopt a child for their party. Serenity was brought out along with a few other children. The party leader looked at the handful of children and walked up to them and pushed them aside till he came up to Serenity.
"How much for this thing?" The leader yells to the maid who brought them out as he points to Serenity's face. "Her? She is a lazy thing, sits around reading all day. Can I suggest this one?" The maid states as she points to a small boy with red hair, Fire elements surrounding him. "He will put up too much of a fight, I want this one" The leader says as he grabs Serenity by the hair and throws her on the ground. Scared serenity stays on the floor hoping he would leave, tears running down her face. "That one would be $100, its so lazy good luck" The maid says. The leader hands the maid one hundred dollars and leaves pulling serenity by the wrist.
The leader takes her to the campsite they are staying at and ties her hands together with rope and puts a potato sack on her with holes for the arms and head. "Now you slave. your new life will revolve around holding our gear and using that blessing of yours to heal us" The leader says as he pushes her down into the dirt and throws a big backpack on top of her full of food rations, Rope, Oil, Spare clothes and ETC. After a uncomfortable night without food, Serenity follows behind the rest of the party lugging around a heavy bag.
They stop at a nearby town that is built around one of the dungeons. They get a Inn and tie Serenity in the stables in the slave section. Serenity looks around and sees many other slaves of different ages and ethnicities. She waits forced into standing all night as the bar she was tied to was too high up.
In the morning, The leader untied her from the bar and gave her the bag she has been carrying around. "Hurry up we are going into this dungeon" He says as he walks away towards the dungeon.
They enter the dungeon and find themselves in a dense humid rainforest. they spend hours hacking away at vines, roots and leaves making their way through. Serenity takes note that this particular Rainforest is dead silent even the sound of wind can't be heard. After a few hours they all take a break, all the party members sweating and exhausted. As they go to drink they notice all their water is gone. The leader takes all the pouches and goes to fill them up at a nearby puddle of water. Giving them to the party members they all drink and eat and take a break after about 30 minutes they all start Vomiting and fainting, and after an hour more than half the party died. Serenity stuck in the middle of all this realises that this dungeon's challenge isn't monsters but preparation and survival. after another hour the entire party died except Serenity who didn't drink any of the water.
