It's been several days since your father's leave.
You haven't been too worried about him though. You were confident in your father's capabilities to come back home alive & well. It's not like the woods can be THAT dangerous, right?
Anyway, you have way bigger problems to worry about. For example, the two people banging on your door at 9 in the morning. "Monsieur Vargas, I thought I had told you to go away?! I will not be accepting courtship from your dweeb of a son, alright?!" You say as you angrily open the door to face the nuisance. "Oh dear, can I give you a little advice? In our little town, do you know what happens to spinsters after their fathers passed?" He looks away, gesturing to a girl begging for scraps in a alleyway. "They become vagrants… So I suggest you think again." His tone darkens, almost threatening to the ear. "Monsieur Vargas, I may be a farm girl but I am not… simple, and I will never marry your son. Good day. " You shut the door at their faces, hoping to never see the two again.
Can you imagine? You? The wife of that wimpy, twerpish…!!

The days that followed have been calm. Quiet. And content.
That is until another disaster struck. This time, far bigger than you expected.
A horse. Stampeding through the plaza with great speed and strength. Everyone in a panic as their goods might get trampled by the panicked steed. You see the situation unravel right before your eyes as you were sitting right in the middle of it. Near the fountain, with all the flowers gathering you. However, looking at the stallion now, it looks sort of…. familiar. Like you've seen it before, like your father's horse… Wait! It is your father's horse! "Philippe! What is happening?! Why are you here?! Where is father?!" You exclaim frantically, worried for your father's well-being & state of mind right now. You've got no time to think & immediately mounted the stallion before you, taking off to the forest to find your father. "Philippe! Take me to him! Now!"
Brave girl, will you prevail? Or will the will of the forest overtake you?
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
A frightening fortress, dark and gloomy, lined with many gargoyles boring their eyes into your soul.
This wasn't a place a you'd think you'd see in your lifetime. I guess life has many ways to make fun of you. "What is this place, Philippe? Why did you take me here? Is this where father is?" Although unnerving, the castle itself had such angelic architecture, very far from the design of your small rural town from far-away.
Entering the castle was a whole other ordeal. The interior, although dark, was luxurious. All it's walls we're marble, lined with amazing amounts of gold that you can only dream to have. But none of that matter right now. You have to find your father, and he must be somewhere inside this castle. You grab the candelabra near you as a source of light, searching every room you can go to in the castle. That is until you stumble upon the dungeons. Dark, damp, and echoing in darkness. "Help! Anyone! Help!!!" Your father! You can hear his voice echoing from the very depths of the dungeon. You make a run for it, finally reaching your father's cage. "Father! Who did this to you?!" You bombard your worried father with questions, ignoring his pleas for you to leave the castle immediately.
"He did this to himself." The husky, booming voice exclaimed from afar, only posing it's shadowy figure to you. "Who's there?! Who are you?" Your voice almost shivering, almost showing your fear. "The master of this castle."
"Let him go! He did nothing wrong!"
"He stole from me."
"My father would never!"
"He stole a rose! Now he shall pay for it."
"You're imprisoning him over a rose? Preposterous!"
"I was imprisoned over a rose! It is just that he suffer the consequences of his actions."
The silence that came after your quarrel was uncharacteristically loud. Almost deafening. You don't know what to do. Thinking about this made you quiver unbelievably. However, an idea struck you, as it always does. "… I'll take my father's place. But first, come into the light. I want to see who will incarcerate me" The figure pauses for a while, seemingly reluctant on following your command. "Fine, human…. Take a good look."
You weren't ready for what you were about to see.
It was hideous. Colossal. Ferocious.
It was a beast.
