Once upon a time in Evlissia.
There was a Taupe who was just your ordinary girl.
Until one day when she came home from a plain normal school. She found the door unlocked, which is strange since her mother always has it lock. Taupe would ring the doorbell so her mother could unlock it. Taupe slowly pushed the door opened and called out to her parents.
The silence was a bit eerie throughout the house. No one came,no one answered back, no one was in sight. Reluctantly she went inside the house.She could sense something is wrong, this wasn’t normal by any means. Her mother would be cooking at this time and father would be watching television. There was also a bone chilling atmosphere in the air that made Taupe more uneasy than she already was as explored her own house. There’re some broken items like plates and mugs shattered on the floor in the kitchen. The couch was torn up along with the wooden floors and the television was smashed. She went up the stairs to the second floor.
As she made her way to the top she could see blood smeared on the hallway walls, but what stood out was a pool of blood out of her parents room that lead inside to the room. She knew she shouldn't go in there, every fiber of her being screamed at her not to go, but her curiosity got the best of her. She slowly pushed open the door to her parent’s room and stood in the doorway to see something that froze her in her place. She saw a dark figure covered in a ever shifting fog shrouding itself holding her two parents in each tentacle. The figure not noticing Taupe opened it's mid section where a huge mouth appeared and chopped on her parents till they’re gone. Nothing was left of her parents after the horrible monster ate them. Taupe screamed as loud as she could, she couldn’t run even though she wanted to run right out of the house, too frozen from fear. This alerted the dark figured and started to walk towards Taupe extending its claw like hand out in a mocking way as if to capture her. A bright light burst its way into the house from the ceiling onto the figure a few feet away from Taupe herself.

The figure was hit and jumped backwards out of the bright beam that continues to stand in its way. It turned itself into a dark fog and fled away into the sky disappearing from sight. The bright beam stopped, Taupe was speechless and just stood there not knowing what to do or what just happened. All that came to her was to cry so she cried as hard as she could and fell to her knees.Taupe wanted her parents back to comfort her,but she knew that wouldn’t be happening. She cried hard for her parents for several moments.She couldn’t even see through her eyes thanks to the tears. A voice rang out to her that she could hear over her loud crying. "It's ok little one, you are safe for now. Cry as much as you want ,but you should not linger here for much longer. The foul beast’s presence will attract lesser monsters to this area and I won't be here to save you again. I need to be very blunt here if you want to die, you should stay here,but if you want to live and grief for your parents more or even seek revenge on the beast you head north of here. Look for a entrance along the mountains that will lead underground. I will leave you with a simple sword and shield to protect yourself. Good luck if you decide to go, maybe we’ll meet again”. The voice faded away and a sword along with the shield the voice speak of laid in front of Taupe. As sad as she felt she didn't want to die today so she took the sword and shield along with a backpack of food and first-aid. At this time the sky was as settling down reaching dawn. The streets look emptied along with her neighbor’s houses. Wiping the tears from her eyes she picked up her gear and head north like the voice mention to her.
