As she hoped and hoped that she would wake up from this nightmare, the rock monster fingered whatever hung from her neck and whistled appreciatively. "That's a nice bit o' nevermeltice. You're a fire type, ain't ya? Then you won't be needing that – I'll take it."

She didn't know what was at her neck, nor did she understand what nevermeltice was. All she understood was the pain as her tormentor suddenly used his free hand to try to rip the necklace off. As he pulled, the cord around her neck tightened and she screamed. "Please, please stop!" she pleaded, more loudly than before.

"Why… won't… this… thing… come… off!" Golem shouted angrily as he pulled ever tighter.

Something warm dripped down her neck; she guessed it was blood. "Please, stop it! You're hurting me!"

"I'd say that's quite enough, rock head!" a feminine voice yelled from somewhere nearby.

Golem kept his hold on her neck, but dropped her to his side so that he could focus his attention on the two small, lithe creatures that were approaching. As the amnesiac girl twisted her head to watch them come, she saw that the two of them were very similar to each other, and that their body shapes were roughly the same as her own, though both were somewhat larger than her.

The one that had spoken seemed vibrant in the dim glow, her own palette of yellows and leafy greens accentuated by the similar hue of the light. She had leaves instead of ears and a tail, though, and more leaves dangled from several places on her somewhat stocky yellow body. Her brown, almond-shaped eyes narrowed as she glared angrily at Golem.

"Now, sis, do calm down," the creature next to her said, her voice at once both kind and jokingly condescending. She was somewhat slimmer and more dainty than her companion, her light blue body reminiscent of a delicate ice sculpture suddenly come alive. Ribbon-like decorations hung from the almost hatlike part of her head, and her tail looked similarly thin and fragile. "No need to be angry. We'll simply defeat this brute and help that poor little vulpix."

Vulpix? the girl thought. Is that what I am? Golem said it earlier, and-

Her thoughts were cut off as Golem tightened his grip again and she yelped in pain. "Tch! Like you could beat me that easily?" Golem said. "Come a step closer and I'll drop the kid into the river, you conceited guild members! You let me leave, or the vulpix dies!"

Anyway, if you know of any obvious ways I could have improved this drawing (other than actually obtain some artistic skills), then please let me know in a comment or something! I'll be making a drawing per chapter to try to acquire aforementioned artistic skills, so we'll see if I end up improving over the long run.
