Female Protagonist: Rise

The young thirteen-year old girl of dark, grey hair and violet eyes awakens with a jolt. Checking her surroundings, she comes to the conclusion she isn’t in her home anymore. This was made obvious by the water she was laying in for starters, and the crumbled ruin type of setting she was occupying at the moment.

Checking herself, she noticed her white shorts were still on and her sleeveless, black, thick-strapped shirt was still on as well. She was highly grateful she wouldn’t have to walk around naked. If she was, then she would’ve grabbed whatever cloth she would find and use it. For now, she will progress with her currently new adventure.

She took a moment to look at her surroundings to see if there was any form of life. Initially, she noticed her placement was within a stone tunnel. While the tunnel stretch to quite a length away, she also couldn’t help noticing the lack of a roof above her. The hole above her head being a new addition to the tunnels extravagant decor.

The next thing that was noticed was behind her. A large wooden double door. From the exertion, the door was too big and thick to even move. That and the water seems to be coming from its direction, rather than the other. Best not to flood the place.

*Tink*

Looking down, she sees she accidentally stepped on a kitchen knife. Luckily not cutting her bare foot. She picks up the knife and the other one that so happens to be a few inches to the right. It was then she remembered she had these knives with her in preparation. She needed them for protection while she was looking for someone.

Weapon Slot 1: Dual Kitchen Knives

The knife with the thicker blade was now equipped in your left hand. The thinner, but slightly longer by a few centimeters knife was equipped in your right hand. While you didn’t feel invincible, you did feel that you were ready for a fight. Your own fighting skills were adequate proof. While not a muscle child, she acknowledged she was a speed/agility type fighter. At least until she can get some proper equipment. But for now, the dual knives it is.

While feeling a sense of fear and urgency, she put this feeling aside for her own sake of courage. Being afraid won’t help her, but facing her fear and taking the first step will.

“Now begin.”
