Trying to work on my enviroments, as I usually just focus on the characters.
_______________________________________________

On the edges of the country stands a menacing watchtower/fortress. No one outside the empire knows much of anything about it. Rumors spread that beneath the giant white structure was a large, underground section used for experiments on captured drifters and warriors from destroyed opposition.
The heaviest rumor as of late was they've captured a large ammount of Talnisians. A nearby village has talked aloud lately of how they hear screams. Terrified from the sounds of blood-curling roars, shrieks of pain tearing through the nearby woods, many locals left in order to live elsewhere.
Eventually the rumor spread amongst the hidden Talnisians, those who escaped their battles and fled to other clans.

One talnisian shook in anger from the stories she heard. Trembling in fear and the utmost bitterness at the idea that her kind was being treated in such a manner, wishing for death to release them from their wrongful torture.
She grabbed the last of her equiment and bolted out of her living quarters in search of this supposed fortress.

She looked for months across the country. The seasons had passed twice since she left her hidden home. Eventually she came across the village no covered in snow. Only two locals and one family had chosen to stay.
Hidden in a cloak, not revealing she was a Talnisian, she recieved the same story fom all of them. The errie sounds had died off, but every now and then they swore they could still hear screams at night. She noticed the villagers were all pale and dark patches sat underneath their eyes. Perhaps they had grown weary of the mysterious, disturbing cries from beyond the forest that surronded them.

At the giant white watchtower, two guards were standing outside on the highest part of the fort, shivering in the cold next to the enormous mortars they were stationed at.

A thin male guard began to doze off, tired from standig still for the past few days. A female dragon guard standing next to him knocked him in the head ringing his helmet.

Man: Guahhhag! 'The hell?

Dragon: Stay awake damn you! I'm not trying to get in trouble thanks to you and your laziness! *her eyes were wide and sharp as she glared at her fellow guard*

Man: *Taking off his helmet, he rubbed his bald head* Tch! I ain't being lazy....I'm just so frickin' tired! *staring back*
I'm sick of this. Why the hell are we even on high alert for!?

Dragon: You ARE lazy! Weren't you even listening before? Captain said theres a chance we're going to be attacked soon.

Man: *sigh* By WHO? There's nothing out here worth mentioning.

Dragon: *Snarling* By some Talnisans apparently *looking out into the forest*

Man: *He scoffed to himself* .......Wuut? Thats ridiculous. There aren't any left. And IF there is, we'd blow them all to hell like the rest!

Dragon: Well, there have been attacks apparently. We haven't heard back from the western fort in over a week.

Man: *pausing with a raised eyebrow he turned back toward the dragon* What have others said?

Dragon: They say they only saw one or two people attacking. I dont' know. They said its possibly one female running around, attacking guards and captains head on. *she lowered her eyes, shaking slightly*

Man: And you BELIEVE that? C'mon tht sounds like a ghost story--

Dragon: Then why has it been nearly the SAME story from each tower?

Man: *not giving it much thought, shrugged at the question* It's just hard to imagine ONE OF ANYTHING trying to rush THIS tower, let alone any of the oth---

His sentence was cut short by a blarring horn, signifying there was a trepasser wandering nearby.

The two noticed everyone running over to the north side of the fort. They followed.

A man pointed out toward the naked forest. It was difficult to make out in all of the snow. But standing on a branch stood a female figure, dressed in white, red and black....

One of the captains had emerged, shouting orders to load a one of the mortars.

Man:....This can't be serious

Everyone had been whipsering to one another.

And then everyone went silent as the figure jumped down into the thick, dead forest.....unable to spot where she had gone.
