(Flashback)

      I smiled at the beautiful flowers my mother picked for me yesterday when she was tending her garden. I pick up my yellow pencil and flicked my wrist back and forth, skillfully sketching the delicate flowers in the vase. No matter if it looked weird or not, I still gave it to my mother.
     "Oh Y/n! This sketch is so beautiful. Maybe when you grow up you should become an artist, perhaps?" Selthia suggested.
     "You think so, Mom?" Y/n replied, grinning sheepily.
    "I think so, it'd suit your delicate hands. Also, why am I the one receiving a gift right before your birthday? " Selthia chuckled.
      'Oh, right. Tomorrow is my 8th birthday! That's the age that meets the requirements for going to the outside world!' Y/n thought.
      "I dunno, I just felt like giving you a drawing. Somethin' wrong with it?" Y/n frowned.
      "No no, don't get me wrong. I love it, thank you very much Y/n. Now now, go scurry on. Mr. Zeeque is waiting for you. You should go now. " Demanded Selthia.
     "Alright, I will make sure to come back home, safely. I promise. Bye bye Mom!" shouted y/n, running towards the gates to meet Mr. Zeeque.

  'Mann, I can't WAIT! Once I meet Mr. Zeeque he'll grant me permission then I'll go outside to the outside world then I'll buy medicine for Rina then I'll maybe make some new friends or meet new people? I'm so EXCITED!!' I thought to myself.

     "Good day Mr. Zeeque!" I shouted, bowing my head smiling at the old grumpy man that sits before me.
    "Yeah yeah, I know what you're here for. Just get outta here." Mr. Zeeque replied.
'Tch, rude.' I thought.
As he opens the gates before me, I grab my bag strap tighter so it doesn't fall off. I smile with excitement, my eyes gleam with joy, my heart pounding awaiting for the new journeys yet to come my way.
Everything turns into slo-mo, as if I were in those cool movies I always watched on TV. I take a deep breath, counting '1..2..3!!' in my mind. Reality resumes back to it's normal speed with me sprinting out of the gates. I run as fast as I can without any caution.
"Man, I'm so happy I got out of there! Phew, I thought I'd be livin' there forever. It's like being a powerless bird being cooped up in a cage! Though I can't say directly to their faces." I mumbled, sweatdropping.

・Time skip ♥

'I've been running for 4 hours straight now! I knew my super duper ninja secret trainings would come in handy.' I smirked as I thought to myself.
'Mama told me to just go straight, but all I see are trees and such.'
I jumped from tree to tree, then to the top observing my surroundings, spotting 4- 6- no, 50 billion buildings!
"WOAH! Are these those big buildings they teach us in books and such? Shoot if it is, then I might just have to settle there for now! Right now I have, 200-no 345,000 jenny. This could work. "

・Time skip ♥ ( 4 months later ) (a lot of time skips, I know 😭)

'Well, I guess it's about time I go home. I'm sure Mom, Rina and the townspeople would be so happy to see I got medicine and a bunch of different foods we have never tasted before! Ahh I can't wait!'
I grab my bag and souvenirs ready to leave whale island, the village I settled in instead of that huge city. I waved bye to all the Fishermans and everyone saying "Come back again" or, "See you later".

・Time skip ♥ ( 2 hours later )

'I can remember the last time I came here, It took me about 6 hours to get here? Now look at me, it took me 2 hours to get back.' I smiled. 'I've grown'
I walk to the gates sneakily hoping to scare anyone near it.
"BOO! I'M BACK GUYS!" I shouted.
Silence filled my ears. Usually there would be at least some kids playing around or Mr. Zeeque. I took one step inside and heard yells and screams as I got closer. My stomach started to churn. My body shook every step that it took. 'Maybe something happened?' I thought. I couldn't help but feel scared, for there was more screams and yells coming one way into my ear, and out the other. I run to where all the commotion was. That was the day I could never forget.
A man with a luscious black coat with St. Peters Cross embroidered on it. He had black medium length hair which swayed in the wind, causing the flames to go crazy. I watched in horror as 11 silhouettes attacked my dear townspeople. Sure we were listed as strong, but they were on a whole other level. I stood there in denial.

'What?' I thought.

All the screams went quiet. That was when I realized what had happened, what I witnessed. Tears started to dwell in my eyes, my heart began to pound and ache, my breath was short and I was panting.
      "Yo boss, don't you think they were pretty strong?" an unfamiliar voice said.
     "Sure, I guess." said the man with the long coat.
My legs and body acted on my own, as I sprinted out of the gates as fast as I can, only thinking about Mom, Dad and Rina. I was only eight :(.
