The best way to recover after working long hours has always been to get out into the wilderness. And what better way to do that than going camping? So when a group of friends from work floated the idea of a camping trip you jumped at the opportunity. And it was such a great idea!

The trip has been winding down, and the reality of going back to work has started to sink in. You don't regret the camping trip, but it would be nice if it didn't have to end.

You really thought that things would change once you enrolled into university. But turns out that you should have known better. The specific people might have changed, but you are still an outcast and an easy target for anyone looking to take their angers and frustrations out on.

Yesterday really solidified it when the popular crowd went out of their way to pick on you. Again. So you resigned yourself to the unfortunate reality of always being the punching bag. And when you were approached by a new face today you braced yourself for another round of that.

Life's not fair, is it? You spend your childhood being told where to go and what to do. And when you finally grow up you spend your working hours being told where to go and what to do. Sure, life could be worse, but it could be so much better to. At least as a member of the military you don't have to worry about a roof over your head or food in your belly.

Or that was true until... something happened? Something you can't remember. In fact there is a lot you don't remember when you wake face to face with a beautiful Valkyrie.

Something doesn't feel right, but you can't quite put your finger on it. People don't seem to understand when you try to explain, and partly because you don't know how to explain. But there is something off, something important that isn't the way that it should be, and it doesn't seem like anybody else even notices.

Until one day, walking home from the bus stop, you trip over a pebble or something and fall. But instead of landing on the sidewalk like you expected you wake up in some kind of government office? It looks wrong, it sounds wrong, and before you can figure out what is going on you find yourself pushed into a really REALLY long line.

So you went for a walk to clear your head like you often do. After quick trip to the large boulder that hangs over the village you sat down to just breathe. But a sudden gust of wind and the sound of flapping wings later you find yourself in the claws of a dragon and see your village shrinking quickly in the distance.

You've been seeing this sweet girl for a few months now and things have been going great! She's everything that you could have ever asked for. And sure, not everything is perfect, but that's bound to happen. You've still been able to talk through things and it never escalates into a fight.

But she disappeared suddenly and without a trace. The police said that they will look into it but without some kind of lead there isn't much they can do, and they recommended finding someone trusted you can talk to. So you called your best friend and she came running to your side.

It was just supposed to be a nice vacation up north, a break for the busy life of being a full time student and working for a bright future. But things didn't go exactly as planned. You got separated from the rest of the group, and with no landmarks to use for navigation headed off in the direction you thought the closest town was in.

But that was weeks ago. And fortunately you had a few things on you that have helped you survive out here, but it has been far from easy. In fact it has been outright miserable. And to make matters worse there is something big that has been lurking around nearby.
