[ After being given a quest, Ereshkigal had decided to go ahead and do it on her own. It was very clear the quest was designed to be dangerous and she'd wanted to ensure none would get caught in her own personal feud with Morganna... Which had been a fatal mistake. ]

Greetings. I am in dire need of assistance and would be very grateful should any of you still listen to me.

[ It is a blessing nobody can hear her whine through text. ]

I am in the Forest of the Felled and I am lost. I came here after Morganna gave me a quest, but I believe my words angered her and she led me into a trap. It appears she placed upon me a curse that makes it impossible for me to find my way. I have been here for over twenty-four now and my strengths are waning as a result of dehydration and hunger.

Should you be afraid of facing Morganna's wrath for assisting me, I understand. I shall face my own death with dignity if so. I only ask someone come after the kettle in my possession to finish this quest and establish a land of the dead after I am gone. I will endeavor to write instructions on how to manage such a place with what time I have left.

[ Not overly dramatic at all, nope. ]

[ ... What in the world is that? Sure she appreciates cute things, but there's a time for those things and it's not when rescuing someone. Sniff. ]

I think I see... Is this a bunny?

Yes! [ again, mamori, was a bunny necessary-- ] I think I can find you now! Please, wait just a moment longer!

[ “A moment longer” being the time it takes for her and her gryphon to descend into the forest proper. Which thankfully, for whatever shreds of morale Ereshkigal has left at this point, isn’t actually that long.

But maybe a little more of it fades when a very young looking girl peers over the side of the creature. ] Um- excuse me! Are you “goddessofdeath”?

[queenofkur]

[ Ereshkigal looked more than a little surprised upon seeing just who her "savior" was. A... Little girl?! Things just kept getting better and better, huh. And truth to be told, that explained a lot.

But she had hoped for someone to come and help her... Not for someone to come and die by her side! She would never forgive herself if a child got hurt because of her. ]

Y-Yes... [She cleared her throat. She had to be a responsible adult for the sake of the child now.] Did anyone come with you...? Surely you're not left to your own device in Avalon.

[ The gryphon lowers itself, allowing Mamori to hop off its back easier. And once on solid ground, she immediately rummages through her bag for the food and water she brought along. +1 water bottle and container with no longer piping hot but still warm microwaved curry rice! ]

I came by myself. [ ... But she at least realizes how that sounds, for she's quick to jump to reassurances with a smile. ] But we'll be okay! If anything happens, I can protect you!
