    A group of older teens found her, and after a brutal display of their intolerance, left her alone and more damaged. She realized she needed to leave Ablastio.

    In Homophobistico, she met another outcast girl. She was asexual and was shunned for not having any romantic or sexual attraction towards anyone.

    The asexual girl had been ostracized, her family disowned her because they couldn't understand her orientation. They decided to travel together, each finding comfort in their shared outcast status.

    Across the river in Transphobistico, they met a genderfluid kid. He was often misunderstood and mistreated because his gender identity didn't fit into the kingdom's binary norms.

    The kid had been banished from his home, his parents unable to accept his fluid identity. Understanding their shared experiences, he joined the girls on their journey.

    In Mentoris, they met a girl with scars, physical markers of her internal struggle with depression. Her mental health was ignored, considered a sign of weakness.

    Her parents had left her to fend for herself, considering her 'mad'. Seeing the trio, she felt a sense of kinship and decided to join them.

    Despite the intolerance and cruelty of their surroundings, they found strength in their diversity and resilience. They became a beacon of hope for other outcasts.

    They continued their journey, hoping to find a place where they could live without fear and prejudice. Their story spread across Phobica, inspiring others to stand up against the bigotry.
