Claudia

Claudia pushed through the dense foliage as she made her way through the forest, her eyes scanning the scenery for an herb. She takes out a torn slip of paper branded with the adventuring guild's mark. "Calamus..." She muttered down at the crude drawing and back up at the greenery. With a long sigh she begins combing through the plants. It's not long before the familiar scent of iron catches her attention as she comes across a small crossing in the middle of the forest, a ransacked wagon with multiple bodies lying in it's wake. "Oh gods..." She whispered in a panicked tone at the sight of bodies before ducking behind some bushes. Not wanting any trouble she began to turn back until a faint rustle froze her in tracks. She quietly peered back through the bushes to see somebody trapped under the wreckage, looking frail and weak. For a brief moment their eyes lock, and Claudia feels the fear and desperation in them, knowing it all too well. Everything in her body was telling her to run away as fast as she could but as they outstretched a hand to her she knew she couldn't walk away. "Shit" She cursed as her body began moving on it's own, despite her better judgement. "Are you hurt? What's your name?" She asked as she crouched down next to you, taking your hand in hers.
