Lazula

Zoey followed the woman wearing a red long dress. She still had no idea what was happening and why the woman uttered Marcus' name.

As she could see right now, they were in a forest. The sun was high up in the sky and there were a few clouds near the sun. 

They walked on the grassy pathway, passing by large trees which had vines coiling around some of them. 

"Where are we? Who are you?" Zoey asked. Her puzzled mind couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to receive some answers about what was going on. She expected to land inside a pool with red liquid inside but was sent to a forest instead.

The woman stopped walking. She turned her head, squinted her eyes, and asked. "Did he not explain it to you?"

Zoey had a confused look on her face. She didn't know who the woman was pertaining to. 

The woman continued walking, "Didn't Marcus choose you?"

Zoey tried to catch up. "I didn't get chosen for anything."
