"The little elfen girl sat on the edge of the path, rubbing her aching feet, for she had been on a long journey to reach the village of Delterford.

Pulling her leather shoes back on, she got up and made her way to the tall village gates.
When she reached the gates, she found that there was not a guard, so she opened them and went in.
However, the village was deserted and the doors of the houses were left wide open. The people must have left in a rush.

It seemed to be coming out of the ground...she strained her eyes some more to see. It seemed...it seemed that the ground was moving! There were...holes...es, holes, hundreds of them, in the ground, with purple smoke billowing out of them. And they were moving...closing up, slowly, but noticably..."

"...Jade crept slowly towards one of the larger holes from which smoke was billowing out of. She tried to peek over the edge and down into the hole but the smoke was to thick, it stung her eyes and filled her lungs. She started coughing and sat back away from the hole. But her movments were to quick and the gound around these mysterious holes was delicate. Before she could scramble back, or even catch her breath to screem Jade found herself falling..."
