"Hey lil one, don't get too comfy, I need you to run out back and pick some berries for tomorrow's feast, I'm busy with our dinner tonight."
"Awwwww, mom!" Pixie whined, as she frowned. "I don't wanna!"
Her mom walked over and stood next to Pixie. "unless you need your panties pulled down little one, I'd suggest you hop to it, and you'll stay away from the woods if you don't want me to use the wooden spoon missy!"
Pixie slowly got up and stomped back to the door. And just as she was walking out, she turned and stuck her tongue out at her mom.
"watch it Pixie!" shouted her mom, but she was already out the door.
Pixie sauntered over to the berry bushes out back, and couldn't help but notice they were pretty bare. There were, however, some wonderful looking ones on the bushes at the edge of the woods nearby. She quickly snuck over to the bushes, when something just inside the forest caught her eye. The light from the setting sun had glinted off it and she figured, what would be the harm in checking it out? So, she set her basket by the bush, its branches still sagging with the weight of the berries, her basket near empty, and she crept into the woods, she realized suddenly, if she was caught, she'd definitely be spending her night sleeping on her tummy, and looked back toward the edge of the woods, trying to decide if she should just go back...
"well, I've gone this far, already, so if I get caught I'm gonna get it either way." she muttered to herself as she vowed to make sure no one found out she went into the woods. As she got close to the small gleaming bit of metal, she realized it wasn't small at all! It was a large pile of discarded bits of armor and weaponry!
Suddenly the brush behind her snapped, and before she could whip around to see what made the sound, she was blinded by pain in the back of her head, and the world went black.
Pixie's mom stared into the darkness from her kitchen window, and wondered, "what is taking her so very long?"
