This is not what was supposed to happen.
María was hyperventilating, her nerves wrecked from fear. She was hiding behind a pillar. The sound of flesh being torn apart, the wailing of one her comrades being heard all the way there. This was supposed to be yet another looting quest. A quick in and out 5 hour adventure. Oh, oh how wrong she was.
First, it was Tanaka. Oh, sweet innocent Tanaka. He was the youngest of the group. A young corn fed country boy. He was brave, and not scared of anything. But being so robust and strong doesn't make you invincible. He was the torch carrier, the light in the darkness. His li-

Pulling out an old 'map' (It was a crude drawing of the dungeon's first levels.) She began to devise a plan to reach their objective: Some noble bitch that was taken. Honestly, Maria didn't even know if it was possible for their objective to still be alive, but nonetheless, she just had to travel down a few more levels, and then... well, that's something for Future Maria to worry about.
