Lost Woods

Hey guys, thought i'd lazily copy over one of my older ideas, sice i never really got to play it and it's a slow evening.

This one is not for everyone. since one of our mc's is a centaur. and if you came here for the harem tag, then i'm afraid it'll take a while to get to that, since this is kinda a slow burner.

And now without further adieu;

You live in a small village on the edge of the vast Hespe Forrest, a colossal thicket of impenetrable tree lines, and harsh wild life have left it rather untouched by the humans of the many nations this forrest connects. the lack of military patrols and the thriving hot spots of bandits, looters and smugglers and deadly gauna give the Forrest a fierce enough reputation, but this isn't the worst of the forrests secrets. deep in the heartland of the hardwood jungle lies two separate and equally terrifying species... for a human boy at least. 

Your tiny villages folklore and history is steeped with encounters of marauding elf parties, These elves are twisted, erratic and sadistic, they take a perverse pleasure in causing suffering, and despite there technology being crude, they are tenacious and cunning, more than capable of making even the most battle hardened soldier quake and cower in fear. 

Perhaps worse than the Elfs are the Centaur tribes, The centaurs while not native to the Forrest (Instead hailing from far eastern lands) these Centaur have thrived and survived in this forrest hell scape with a level of pride and steadfast courage.

(For a reference picture horse Samurai v Creepy sadistic murder wood elves.) 

You've lived in the small village of Cheval your entire life, just hitting adulthood times were tough, The country was at war, your father had been levied into the army well over a year ago, and your mother passed shortly after the birth of your younger sister (Kon) you often went without meals and worked your fingers raw to keep the two of us in the house. Sadly though the war has not been going well, recently you've seen more and more deserters or wounded fleeing the frontline. their is a sense of dread hanging over the village, if the enemy chose to come this way the village would surly fall. indeed you've been seeing some of your neighbors pack wagons and flee the same direction of the soldiers. 

It was getting harder to hide this knowledge from Kon and she was getting worse and worse the longer the dire situation continued. and your mind cant help but linger on the probable fate of your father. so much so in fact that evening had crept into the forlorn village. completely forgetting to come home for dinner. You take off in a hurry down the dirt track, breaking into a sprint as your mind starts to race with thoughts of what Kon made of your absence. And when you reached the house with the door slung open your worst fears are confirmed. you race frantically, searching for signs of the girl. 

Your search is fruitless and you're at  loss as to what to do, no one else was going to stop to search for a girl, but if she had listened to a deserter she may have panicked and run... seeing that as the most likly case you try to cram a small sack with foods, and grab the families second sword, A simple iron blade that was only sharpened on one side. you take off for the Forrest. 

The forset is as unforgiving as you imagined, and within a matter of hours you're hoplessly lost, turned around several times you wander aimlessly, even with day break the sun struggled to peek through the tall tree line. and you could hear voices in the wind. it's been days in the forest, with little to no sign of your sister, Now night fall of maybe day three or four your exhausted body finally grinds to a halt, crumbling to your knees. 

A voice sparks you back to life, along with a splash of water, climbing your way up the small hill to the clearing your greeted with the sight of a hot spring? the natural spring looking crisp and clear in the cold dark night, the only light coming from the outline of the moon. to your dismay though the sound wasn't your imagination, theirs a girl in the spring, shes not noticed you yet as she idly bathes infront of the unknown audience. 

(So thats where we start, it's not known that i'm a centaur right away since i'm mostly under water when you first spot me) 

Jeeze that took a while, so much for lazy...

Hope you guys like these sorry if they're so long winded in the set up!
