*Sweet (?) Little Monster: EEEEEeeekkkk!!!
 	
*Sennie: Owowow! My ears!
 	
*Giving one last half-hearted swipe, the screeching carrot is swept up into the arms of the larger monster.
*Without so much as a look back, the two creatures huff away into the depths of the forest.
 	
*Chryssa: W-What was that all about...?
*Chryssa: That was so mean of that little...thing!
 	
*Sennie: At least we didn't get eaten...
*Sennie: Oogh...I feel really dizzy from all that noise...
 	
*Voice: Hello...?
 	
*Sennie: Oh no! It's back!
*Sennie: Chryssa I'm gonna play dead! Run!
 	
*Chryssa peeks behind her friend, perplexed.
 	
*Chryssa: I don't think it's...
 	
*With a dramatic thump, Sennie lands face down on the damp grass, and stops moving.
*A figure with the appearance of a young girl and a hircine lower body weaves her way cautiously toward Chryssa.

*Faun Girl: Umm, she doesn't look so good.
 	
*Chryssa: I'd say...We've had kind of a long day.
 	
*Chryssa: *wince*
 	
*Faun Girl: ...Are you all right?
 	
*Chryssa: We've been looking for the lake over there for a while...Water's running out.
*Chryssa: But for some reason we're going in circles.
 	
*Miell: Oh. That's the barrier of the Vale. It keeps intruders out.
 	
*Miell: You look like you need help, though. I'll bring you two in.
*Miell: Can you carry her?
 	
*Chryssa: She can carry herself. Sennie, come on, get up.
 	
*Sennie: ... ...
 	
*Chryssa: Sennie?
*Chryssa: Um, if you don't mind helping me move her...
 	
*Miell: Sure.

*Sennie jolts up in a panic, finding she's now near the lake they tried to approach.
*There was no sign of the monsters, no starlit fields, and no...
*Sennie: Oh! Chryssa!
 	
*Sennie: Where are we? Wait, no, are you all right?
 	
*Chryssa: Yes. I'm glad you're awake!
 	
*Chryssa: We're inside the Vale now. Turns out there was a barrier preventing entry.
*Chryssa: Miell brought us in.
 	
*The faun girl sitting on a nearby rock sets down her panpipes, and the surrounding ambience tapers off, but lingers in the air.
*She smiles softly at Sennie, and folds her hands over her lap.
 	
*Sennie: I think I...need some time to process all this.
 	
*This. Is. AWESOME!
*Look at this! And that! And THAT!
 	
*Oh! I almost forgot...What about the monsters?
 	
*Miell: Peaceful inhabitants of the Vale. They're just, a little...peculiar.
 	
*Sennie: Peaceful. Right.
 	
*Sennie: I mean, this place definitely is. Do you live here?
 	
*Miell: I do now. To take care of the forest.
 	
*Chryssa: Did something happen?
 	
*Miell: Many things have happened to Aimyhr, and this forest is just one of many victims.
 	
*Miell: Thankfully, life has gradually returned. The Vale no longer weeps as bitterly.
 	
*Sennie: Wow. To think we came across a guardian of an enchanted forest!
 	
*Miell: I'm honored, but no, I'm simply a caretaker.
 	
*Miell: Your friend Chryssa told me you were traveling the land?
 	
*Sennie: Uh huh. It was too dangerous to go anywhere for a long while, but I think things have calmed down.
 	
*Sennie: 'Sides, getting stuck there is BO-RING. I could use some excitement in my young life!
 	
*Chryssa: Kids stabbing each other, stopping an old man from getting robbed, scary monsters...
*Chryssa: Pretty wild all right.
 	
*Sennie: On second thought...
 	
*Miell: Well, you're free to stay here as long as you like.
*Miell: If humans are traveling once more, it won't be long before we establish amiable contact again.
 	
*Miell: It would be nice to continue the academic traditions started so long ago. So I'm told.
 	
*Miell: More berries?
 	
*Sennie: Yes please! 
*Sennie: Wait, no, take me with you! Where do you get them?
 	
*Chryssa: Jell, go look for seaweed, okay?
 	
*Sennie: ...That's how we got to know Miell!
 	
*Sennie: Boy, let me tell you. She talked about those monsters like they were nothing!
 	
*Sennie: Maybe it's in the music, huh?
*Sennie: Anyway, thanks to her, we've also got a new destination added to our roadmap.
 	
*Sennie: A friendly stop up in the north. You won't BELIEVE what used to be just outside of the Vale!
*Sennie: Ice! Snow! Really? Looking at it now, it's just a big sprawling forest!
 	
*Sennie: Well, that's for next time. Our journey is just getting started!
*Sennie: Don't forget to tune in, all right?
 	
*Sennie: Sennie, signing off. And remember: STAY HYDRATED!
