Virginia Wyss
Virginia looked around, gazing upon the portal that spit her out. This only reminded her more of the books her fathers used to take turns reading to her. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland both came to mind. She stumbled, picking herself up from the ground and putting a hand against a stone wall.
Where am I? she thought. Virginia followed the wall, her heart thumping out of anxiety until she came upon a gate guarded by two men. "State your name and case for being at the gates of the capital." One of them spoke through his helmet, looking straight ahead, not taking a single glance at her.
"I don't know...where I am." Virginia replied, glancing at the sword that sat on his belt sheathed. She didn't know what else to say. Panic rushed through her as she looked at the ground, avoiding eye contact.
"Another freeloader? Get lost." the woman said, lifting up her helmet to inspect her. Then, her eyes widened, "You're not from here, are you?"
Virginia's face reddened. She couldn't lie now. "I'm not. I told you I don't know where I am."
"King Andreau is going to be happy to see you. You're going to have to come with me." the woman grabbed her with cold gloves and held Virginia's hands behind her back, beginning to tie a knot with rope.
"No. I'm not going with you." Virginia fled from the scene, running into the open prairie. Her feet slammed against the ground. The two charged her with weapons in hand. They gained on her even when she went at a full sprint.
Virginia threw a hand back at them, not thinking it'd do anything. "Stop!" she shouted, her voice echoing into the air. In a single movement, a pair of vines sprouted from her shoulders and constricted the guards.
Without a single hesitation, she took off, thoughts racing through her mind. Everything went so quickly and then--she bumped into someone. She rubbed her eyes, "Watch it, you--oh." she began to say before realizing she'd come across another human.
