Who are you, White-Haired One?!

So hungry...

So tired...

I just wish I could die...

I can't even remember how long I've been lost.

The directions given by the group I met earlier were completely wrong. I couldn't find my way back to the village of Illy, and after wandering in this forest for so long, I can't even find the way I came in.

In the daylight within the forest, a cloaked figure dragged their weary steps forward, walking listlessly.

Silver-white hair peeked out from the hood, stained and possibly unwashed for a long time, tangled strands sticking together.

So heavy.

Maybe I should just discard this sword.

I've already failed. Keeping it will only remind me of the sorrow.

No, being a swordsman without a sword is like a man without...

The cloaked figure, with a pale face beneath, looked up.

Not far away, white smoke rose, and the tantalizing aroma of meat wafted through.

Salivating, the cloaked figure quickened their pace.
