Having been told she would be marrying a notoriously lecherous king from a nearby nation, Pericose decides to run away. She slips out into the dark and climbs down the wall of the palace complex. Climbing down the steeply sloping wall is awkward, and searches desperately for holds in the dark. She slips and falls the remaining distance into the shrubs at the base of the wall with a crash. Crawling from the brush uninjured she brushes the leaves from her hair. Having escaped the palace she vowed to herself she would never return. Pericose sets off with nothing but the cloths on her back and a small purse of gold.
She runs across the street and rounds a corner crashing directly into you. She falls backwards to the ground and looks up at you, surprise and fear in her eyes, and says. “I wont go back, you cant make me!”
