This would be the ideal job, they said. Get some training in, be done in a flash and have some time to fool around afterwards. But where were the others she was supposed to meet? Not to mention there were bugs everywhere making her all jumpy, and that was no way to present yourself to a client! If she saw this pitiful display, she'd probably laugh her right back to Blue Pegasus. The water mage took a deep breath, taking in her surroundings. It certainly was a beautiful place, though...all kinds of trees and flowers and foilage she couldn't put a name to. In a way, it was romantically tragic, losing something so important here...
"Ah! There you are, my dear!" Ambrosia started at the sudden voice, but staring into space had calmed her down somewhat. The voice belonged to a lightly weathered but still beautiful woman with faded coral hair and a sweet smile on her lips. "I take it you're one of the wizards they sent to help me with my little problem...?" A flush of color matching her hair dusted the woman's cheeks. "It's really so embarrassing, I know, but I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to help me..."
Ambrosia's eyes sparkled. She was still so beautiful and graceful...oh, how that was how she wanted to be when she grew up! Bowing slightly, she addressed her, "O-of course not, ma'am, it's my pleasure! I'm Ambrosia Shropshas from the Blue Pegasus guild, I'm a relatively new member but I promise I'll do you and my guild proud!"
The matron blinked, and a soft chuckle left her lips, which she covered with one hand that displayed the wrinkles that told a story of her aged life. "You must forgive me. It's just...so refreshing to see the vibrant spirit of youth. I don't get many visitors..." She trailed off, closing her eyes a moment and smiling. "But you're not here to indulge the ramblings of an old woman. Let me show you where your mission will take place." Ambrosia was going to interject that she wouldn't mind listening a while, but she was right; there was a job to be done.
The two journeyed into the field together, nothing but the sounds of their feet crunching softly along the ground accompanying them for a few seconds. "Yes...somewhere right around here," the client said suddenly, stopping and looking around as she put a finger to her chin in thought. Another bright smile spread across her lips. "I'll leave you here to do your duty, then! Good luck!"
Ambrosia could no sooner thank her than she felt a strange sensation all over her body, the world suddenly growing darker. When she came to, she blinked, looking down at her hands. Everything seemed to be in the same place...though, the ground was really close now. Really, reeeaally close. There were trees all around of various shapes...except, wait...trees had branches...these were very green...and tall...
Oh. God.
