The world Eplithia is built on the companionship of an individual and their companion. These companions are usually born in this world, and on one day of the year all the regions hold a Companion Union Day once a year. This event is considered very important since everyone's future will be affected by the childrens' and the companions' desicion.
Today's event was going like all the others, kids were entering a field full of companions (mobs) and would have to either survive the event or connect to one of these creatures. This time would be different since this time one of the kids just wouldn't let go of mommy's dress. "I dun wanna go!!"cries the lil girl.
"No. This isn't something that you can ignore, Elixia, you have to tough this out and go find a partner. If you don't you'll never be able to accomplish your dream." Says mommy.
"Let me help you get her in, mam?" Says the man.
"Thanks, Fred, now on 3 we lift her over the fence. 1. 2...." Lifts both arms and child over fence...and let's go, "3."
"Nyooo, mommy, don't weave...." Elixia's voice reached almost a record high if it hadn't been covered by her mommy's hand.
"You can't be like that... You don't wanna end up alienated by your future companion right..." Mums face was scary. Elixia nods her head slowly in compliance. "So go find ur life line.... I mean your companion."
Elixia backs away slowly then turns around and runs off.

"That was kinda harsh Sarah..."
"She won't do anything unless she has to... Which will undoubtedly cause problems and the best way out is with a companion (friend) to help you out. Isn't that Right, Fred." Sarah eyes glint as she stares at Fred...
"Yes... Mast..."
"Don't you dare say it... I told you to call me Sarah..." Then in a whisper, "unless we're in private... Alright?"
"Oops... My bads ?. It won't happen again... Sarah" says Fred.
************************
10 minutes later...
Elixia dashes out of the forest and heads towards the fence, a large Minotaur is chasing after her...
Sarah sees the axe swing down towards her lil girl and cuts her in two... "Noooooo!"
Elixia last words, "someone help me!!!..."
Just as the Minotaur was gonna crush her skull a burst of intense energy emerged from the minotaur's gut. This energy formed into a summoning circle... Just as the light faded the minotaur was sucked in and out popped a clear'ish silver slime...
The slime moved towards Elixia and proceeded to swallow cover the lower and upper and all the little scattered bits... What occurred was the rapid healing of the nearly dead child... As soon as Elixia was healed the slime appeared to be absorbed by elixia's body...
Elixia gets up and runs towards the fence area once more...
The End?
