Hollandaise set out on a quest not because she wanted to, but because it was expected. It was something knights did, and so, she did it too. Dutifully, she filled her bags with food. Carefully, she saddled hunter. And, as she wound her way towards the path, she expected... something.

She blinked in confusion as she realized she had been expecting to see him again, there on the road, almost as though he was waiting for her. Hollandaise swallowed and nudged Hunter along.

Suddenly, Hunter whinnied and shied. The lane that led the way into the forest seemed darker, somehow, more ragged. Rock jutted out and from behind one of them a wolf darted. Foam hung in thick ropes from its bared jaws and it snarled threateningly. She had only one moment before it was on her.

With a sure hand, she drew and fire and nocked another arrow as Hunter twisted and bucked beneath her. One shot hi and the golden shaft of it gleamed against the wolf's hide. His claws scraped at Hunter and thick jaws closed around her arm. Hollandaise screamed as the yellowed teeth pierced her flesh and ground down. She twisted, bow falling to the ground. An arrow came to her hand, the point deadly sharp in her fist. With a yell, she plunged it downwards, driving it into one of the wolf's rolling eyes. It let go with a howl of pain and ran away, winding its way far too quickly amongst the rocks.

Her breath came in thick pants as she poured water on the bite mark, binding it up quickly with strips of linen. Hunter had quieted, waiting patiently for her to recover.

Maybe it was the bite making her feel strange, but Hollandaise felt cold sweat drip down her spine. She... she couldn't do this - she wasn't used to saving herself. And that, she thought muzzily, was a strange thought to have.

No, Hollandaise told herself, she had to do this. This is what knights did and she would fulfill everything expected of her. She knew her place in this world and how it was expected to fit around her - or rather, how she needed to mold to the world. So, she was back in the kitchen, collecting food. Hollandaise needed to be a savior instead of the one being saved.

She kept her eyes on the dark shadows behind rocks, her golden gaze flickering nervously. If that wolf still haunted these paths... she did not want a matching bite on her other arm. Hollandaise stiffened at a howl in the distance and so did Hunter, listing to one side. She shifted in her saddle, and watched helplessly as one of Hunter's hooves slid off the edge. The food that fell was ignored in the face of the grander problem.

With a quick efficiency that bordered on impatience, Hollandaise carefully counted her stores to see what was now missing.

Rolling a 2: Someone seems to have left food on the road for you! How nice! +10 food.


The girl sang creakily as she made her way through the forest. It was somehow comforting - the trees, the dappled sunlight, the distant hum of insects. If only she could stay in the forest forever, and never worry about anything again... But what did she have to worry about? Hollandaise was on her way to becoming a knight, because she had to learn to be strong, to make up for... something. She shook her head, clearing it of any fuzzy, half-formed thoughts.

A box caught her eye - supplies! With all the clumsy eagerness of a child, she tumbled off of Hunter to open it.

She was a little warier about venturing deep into the mountain. It seemed a travesty to not know the sky... The only thing down here was death and armor rusted from disuse and a lingering feeling of failure. She shuddered, bow in hand, ready to shoot anything hostile.

And she did let loose one arrow, wincing as the thunk echoed dulled in the cavern. Instead of a threat, Hollandaise had hit a box of supplies.

Rolling a 5: Somehow, you made it safely. Somehow.


She had made; she had done it and all on her own! Pride surged through her. Hollandaise knew that this was how knightly deeds were done. In her burgeoning excitement (and the onset of a rather asthmatic cough), her thin fingers plucked out the first thing she found.

Oh. Oh. Underclothes... She flushed. Well, at least they looked to be her size.
