{Hello, traveler}

You walk into the clearing, and it's obvious that something's going on. A main tent it set up, and creatures of all sorts are
sharpening blades. The woman who spoke to you stands up, sheathing her knife. Her multicolored eyes are slightly
bloodshot, but the gentle smile on her thin lips tells you that she's okay. She walks up to you, her stiff leather armor
restricting her movement slightly. Her bushy mane of hair, soiled with dirt, has been pulled back into a ponytail.
Her smile fades.
{You should leave this place} You know that it was this woman that spoke, but her lips didn't move. Then you realize that
she's talking to you telepathically. {The Chenti have turned on us...and with the immortals abandoning our efforts, nobody
here stands a chance of surviving!}
"...Chenti?....Immortals?" You ask, "What are you talking about?" The woman pauses.

{You're not from here, are you?}

You shake your head. The woman frowns.
{Well, I'll try to explain, but I'm not the best at storytelling. Years ago a sorcerer of some sort opened up a portal to the other
worlds. We tried to stop him from tapping into the Immortals' world. We managed to drive him away from the portal, and
someone managed to hit an arrow into his back. The arrow pierced the sorcerer's pool of magic. His magic was released,
dragging creatures of all sorts into worlds other than their own. When the sorcerer died---which was soon after--- the portal
closed forever.
{The aliens hated us, but there was nothing we could do to get them home. Some of them lived universes away, and we
hadn't the technology to get them home without the portal. Most of them attacked any humans they saw. We couldn't ask
them why, because none of them spoke our common language. Finally, we broke the language barrier by using telepathic
communication. We formed treaties to keep the peace.
We had peace for a few months, but then all hell broke loose when some idiotic hunter killed several Chenti in wolf form.
The Chenti disolved their end of the treatie and now attack any human they scent. The immortals refused to help us, and it's
only a matter of time before a full scale war starts.}
You wince in sympathy, "But..what are Chenties and immortals?" You hear a howl in the distance, followed by screams.
Several of the people in the camp run off towards the screams.
{No time to explain now...here} She hands you a thick scroll. {On here is all the information about the aliens that are on Earth.
I'm sorry I don't have time to help you further, but you'd best go to town of Eralth. That town is just off the forest's
boundries and it's a chock-full of information.}

What now?

Another scream echoes through the air, and the rest of the people in the camp run off towards it, blades drawn. The
woman looks at you regretfully. {Oh...and my name is Mortari} Several yelps, yells, and screams echoed, and she hesitantly
runs after the others, leaving you alone in the clearing.
