"I can give you a basic run down on each one as we get to it, how's that?" Lexi checked her watch again. They'd have to get moving fairly soon.

Meyla nodded in agreement. She understood the need to get started. She was excited about seeing this new bright and colourful world.
"Are we waiting for any others?"

"Not sure, but probably not" Lexi sighed. She'd been told it wouldn't be a large group, but having only the two of them may prove challenging later on. "Shall we?" she gestured in the general direction of forwards along the path in the forest they appeared to be standing on and started walking. Assuming Meyla was following her, Lexi began with the first story they had to fix. "Alright, first off then, there's this little girl who's Granny lives in this forest somewhere. She's known to the locals as 'Red' or 'Little Red Riding Hood'. Anyway, she takes her Granny a basket of food and this wolf shows up along the way. Suffice to say, the Wolf finds and eats Granny, Red doesn't notice for a while and the Wolf gets her too. That's where we come in. There's meant to be some Woodsman who comes to the rescue and cuts open the Wolf's stomach to free Granny and child, but it's been three days and there's been no sign of him. So, we either have to find the Woodsman, or save the pair ourselves. HQ would prefer we deal with the situation at hand, the fact that those two have been inside a wolf for three days, and then go find the idiot who never showed and see what's stopping him from finishing the story." Lexi turned to Meyla "You with me?"

Meyla was a fast learner and nodded in understanding. She kept pace with Lexi, assuming she knew where they were going.
She thought about the story Lexi had summarised for her and wondered how any man could leave an elderly woman and a child to such a fate. She also wondered how it was possible for them to still be alive, but after all the strange and wonderful things she had seen since leaving Whiterun, she knew not to question the things that made no sense. Anything was possible in other worlds.

"Excellent!" Lexi wasn't sure if Meyla had understood everything she'd said or was just going along with it; but either way, she didn't question the story, and that was a start.

Dante Black strolled casually through HQ towards where was meant to take a portal to some realm referred to as the Enchanted Forest. Some people stopped to stare at him as he passed; necromancers made everyone uneasy not just supernatural beings. It sounded like he was about to be sent off to some happy magical place so he could not understand why the QA had chosen somebody affiliated with black magic unless it was some kind of twisted joke on their part. He checked that his katana was still in its scabbard before he passed through the portal.
The world he stepped out into looked like something from a fairytale that was for certain. There were no other questers in sight but he could sense something in the air so he set off a sprint down a path. Further along he saw two women engaged in conversation as they walked along.
"Excuse me" He called to them "Does anybody mind if I tag along for this fun day out?"

As Meyla mulled over the story in her head, her anger at what this Huntsman did began to eat at her. It grew inside her, and her mood quickly darkened. Behind them a small tree exploded. Meyla spun around and pushed Lexi to the ground, just as a branch launched itself towards the point where Lexi's head had been seconds before.
With a small wave of her hand the remaining bits of tree burned to ash mid flight, littering the ground with black soot.
She offered Lexi a hand up, "Please accept my apologies"

Lexi accepted the hand up, but stood for a moment in a stunned silence. "You did that?" She barely even registered the man running towards them.

Dante's katana was in his hand when he came to a stop by the women. Black magical energy swirled around the blade and him as he prepared for a fight.
"What happened? Are any of you hurt?"

"No, no, we're fine" Lexi said in a calming voice. She didn't like the look of this man's sword, but he definitely wasn't a resident of the Enchanted Forest. "QA send you?" she asked him.
