Early morning.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the figure of a girl with ivory-white long hair, who held a map up to block her cheeks, rendering her face indiscernible.
However, judging from her tall figure, she was likely a rare beauty, especially those straight, slender legs that seemed impossible to tear one's eyes away from.
"Mhm, this is the place." The girl with the ivory-white hair seemed to confirm her destination as she stepped forward, making her way through the dense thicket.
As branches rustled, a tall eight-legged horse emerged from the bushes and headed toward the distant village, smoke rising from its chimneys.
A moment later, children's laughter echoed; several frail children were seen turning over weeds on the ground, seemingly in search of herbs.
But upon sighting the approaching eight-legged horse, they were instantly terrified and began to flee toward the village.
"There's a monster!"
"Help!"
