The Prairie is an expansive grassland north of Seles with well-worn dirt paths and trees sparsely spaced around the area. A woodcutter's homestead occupies land adjacent to a river and a hill. The Prairie is more open and bright in comparison to the Forest; both serve as routes to reaching Seles, but the Prairie also serves as a route to Bale by way of Limestone Cave.

Story

After escaping from Hellena Prison, Dart, Lavitz, and Shana flee through the Prairie. They attempt to outrun the guards, but an enemy arrow grazes the back of Lavitz's leg. He tries to downplay his injury, but is clearly limited in his mobility as he remains kneeling for most of the conversation. Dart offers to carry Lavitz and insists that Shana goes first, and both of these remarks are met with a rebuttal as Lavitz tries to convince them that he is still capable of running. Hellena Wardens quickly close in on them, forcing the trio to duck into the tall grass behind a tree to hide, and they seem to be safe until one of the guards notices some rustling in the grass. Brandishing a cudgel, the Hellena warden calls out for the fugitives to give themselves up. Instead, a small, rodent-like creature emerges from the grass, fooling the wardens into leaving the area to continue their search elsewhere.

The trio emerges from the hiding spot and sneaks away in the opposite direction. They come upon a small patch of improved land with a shack and corral built on it. Lavitz can no longer ignore his injury, so the group decides to lie low in the shack. While Shana bandages Lavitz's wound, Dart does some scouting and confirms that the Hellena search party has moved on.

Now, in safety, Shana asks Dart about his absence over the last five years. Dart confides that he departed on a journey of revenge to find the Black Monster, a mysterious creature that destroyed his birthplace and killed his parents. Dart relays that 18 years ago, Neet was incinerated by the Black Monster; he had been only 5 years old at the time. Although he and his family escaped into the outlying woods, his father and mother both returned to the village to defend its residents. When Dart returned to Neet the next morning, he found no sign of any other survivors, but did find his father's keepsake, a shining stone. He still carries it 18 years later, and when he holds it up to show Shana and Lavitz, it shimmers in his hand.

After hearing Dart's tale, Shana expresses that she understands his reasons now, and that she knew that Dart would tell her why he left someday. Lavitz points out that the journey was not about revenge, but closure, which Dart admits he still has not found. Lavitz also muses that he does not recognize Neet as a local village, so Dart explains that it was located much further north in another country. Dart then asks about the current political climate in Serdio. Lavitz explains that an ongoing truce between the Kingdom of Basil and Imperial Sandora was broken when Emperor Doel obtained a Dragon. With this new weapon, Doel became emboldened and more aggressive. Incredulous, Dart recalls his encounter with Feyrbrand, alarming Lavitz to the fact that Sandora forces are advancing faster than expected. Lavitz determines that he must return to Bale to report to King Albert, encouraging Dart and Shana to come along since Minister Noish may have information regarding the Black Monster. Dart readily agrees.

The party attempts to make their way through the prairie, only to find their way blocked by an unfordable river. After some exploring, Dart finds a dead tree overlooking the river. He intuits that it can be used as a bridge, so he retrieves an axe from the shed to chop it down. However, the tree falls over a cliff despite his and Lavitz's attempt to restrain it. When the party returns to the river, the tree conveniently comes floating down the river and snags on rocks where it acts like a bridge.

The trio are nearly through the prairie when they encounter a married couple and their young son on the side of the road. Upon asking, Lavitz discovers that they are refugees from Sandora. Although the man is belligerent at first, Lavitz gives some food to the child and explains that King Albert offers hospitality to all casualties of the war, even those from enemy countries. He encourages the family to go to Bale, specifically offering them lodging in his own mother's house. Afterward, the trio press on to the Limestone Cave.

Apart from the div and span tags, proceed to format the story content as you would ordinarily.-->
-Immediately fleeing Hellena, [[Dart]], [[Lavitz Slambert]], and [[Shana]] enter the prairie. They attempt to outrun the guards, but in their escape, an enemy arrow wounds Lavitz. He tries to downplay the attack but is unable to walk freely. Dart and Shana immediately try to come to his aid, though Lavitz is stubborn and argues. Dart offers to carry Lavitz and insists that Shana goes first, both remarks which met with a rebuttal. Together the trio makes their way into a tall grass field to hide as the guards catch up from behind. The scene is still. One of the guards notices some slight movement, and they brace for attack. They call out to the party when only a small rabbit-like creature jumps from the grass. The guards backtrack in desperation to find the fugitives, who were only a few feet away.

-The prairie is home to a small shack with a fenced horse and cart. There are dirt pathways and some, even built from stone. As they near the shack, Lavitz revisits his wound, which has served to be problematic. Shana brings Lavitz into the wooden shack; it's built simplistic and cozy in nature, performs some first aid.
-In the shack's safety, the guards off their trail, Shana inquires Dart about his last five years. Dart shares that he departed on a journey for revenge to find the [[Black monster]], a mysterious creature who deprived Dart of his first home and family in [[Neet]]. A cut scene is then triggered that displays the town of Neet 18 years ago. The entire village is submerged in flames, the only kindling of light amid the burnt carcasses of former buildings. Dart, five years old, escaped the village with his mother and father escaped. But, his father returned to the town, his mother soon after, to assist those left behind. Unfortunately, the black monster lay waiting, and young Dart waited, anticipating dawn against the winter snow. When young Dart returned to Neet, there were no remnants of his family other than a shining stone. His father's remembrance, a glistening orb that he carries to this day. Dart shares this with the party; its white rays streamlined dagger against the dark shack's shadows.

-After his recollection, Shana expresses that she understood and knew someday this truth would be revealed. Lavitz inquires about Dart's journey, one for closure, to which Dart admits he still has not found. Neet is then exposed as a town in the North, likely not a part of Serdio. Dabbling in geography acts as a gateway for Dart to address the current state of Serdio. Lavitz explains that currently, their kingdom of Basil is engrossed in a civil war with Imperial Sandora. The truce is broken when emperor Doel obtained a dragon, unbalancing the power and unleashing the opportunity for Doel's ambitious hunger. Dart mentions the dragon he ran into on his way to Seles, alarming Lavitz and his worries that Doel is advancing. Lavitz determines that he must return to Bale to report to King Albert, encouraging Dart and Shana to precisely come with. [[Minister Noish]] may have information regarding the Black Monster. Dart agrees.

-The party attempts to make way through to the city but is soon met with a wide river, far too wide to cross. After some exploring, Dart finds a dead tree and intuitively uses an ax from the shed to chop it down and build a bridge for them to cross the river. The plan works perfectly, and the party crosses. They make their way out of the prairie, but not until first encountering a small refugee group: a father, mother and son.

-If the party stops to talk to them, Lavitz tries to find out if the family needs help. The father begins to blame the knighthood Lavitz is part of for their troubles, but the mother asks for her family to be pardoned, explaining they are refugees of Imperial Sandora. Lavitz explains King Albert is hospitable to friend and foe, and Lavitz extends that hospitality by offering the son food before inviting the family to stay at his home in Bale. The father is taken aback at first by Lavitz' kindness but eventually accepts his offer joyfully. After leaving the family, the party continues onward to the [[Limestone Cave]].
