With the time she had Ylva purchased a dark cloak to hide her rather outstanding features. She didn’t need whatever was out there to see her before she saw it. While she was at it she also purchased a sort of dim light that only illuminated a small area, enough for someone to see at least. The hours passed and she found herself at Era’s gates, the report that Marwin gave her was the only assistance she had as far as having some sort of intel. Making her way into the forest, her little light giving her enough sight to see around her. Ylva would have been lying if she said she wasn’t afraid of what was reported to be out here. Zombies were an abomination on life and perverse creations. It’s the one thing she didn’t accept and shunned their existence completely. They couldn’t be reasoned with or talked too, they were dead and smell, the world could only do good without them around.
She didn’t know how long she had been searching the woods. It seemed like too long and with each moment she grew more anxious until she finally decided that maybe those reports were not real. At this point, seeing as how she hadn’t run into anything described in the report after a whole five hours of sneaking around in the dark, she figured that something was causing people to hallucinate. Maybe they were coming in contact with some sort of plant that was causing hallucinations. She wanted to believe that, but the reports came in from scouts. People who knew the lay of the land and reported their findings. She had been out here so long she just didn’t see what they were seeing. For her it was time to wrap it up, that is until she saw a thick fog roll in. Being the ever vigilant person that she was, she followed the direction of the fog until she saw a statue and some people wearing red and black cloaks surrounding it. The statue looked pagen, and their chanting was certainly ritualistic,but the thing that stood out was the bodies rising from the ground. The god damn reports were right.
