In the middle of a village...

There once lived a mother who is shown to be busy preparing for stew in the cooking pot she is stirring.

The mother had made breakfast and then, she put out the embers from the fireplace by throwing sand into it.

Looking at her two sleeping daughters, the mother then nods and walked out of the house.

One of the daughters has stirred awake as she heard a creak and she looked to see that her mother had finally walked out of the house.

This is normal to the daughter. She knows that every day, her mother would go to a field before the sun rises.

And as she is finally woken up, the daughter then started to paint something on a piece of paper writing, 'I am requesting help for herb collecting. Please help me.' It writes.

"It's done." The daughter said in satisfaction as the younger girl then looked at it as the daughter herself smiled.

Their mother is always working hard for them so, with bold determination and full confidence, did what she had to do.

Meanwhile, in the bright day of the morning sun...

Eldrad Ulthan, the Eldar Farseer, formerly a players of the VRMMORPG called YGGDRASIL, who suddenly found himself in a new world, is now going on his first commemoration commission to escort someone for herb collecting.

'Guess this must be the place, huh?' Eldrad thought as he looked at a village surrounded by wooden walls and a guard as well.

As Eldrad showed him a piece of wood full of writing on it, one of the guards looked at it and said, "Oh, Seona's house?" The guard then point towards somewhere and said, "Her house is at the end of the square."

After that, Eldrad then walked past the guards as he looked around said village.

'Usually, this is beneath my power to do something as simple as 'escorting a herb collector' but there is no harm at doing something simple and relaxing. It's truly subtle and plain as a quest it is.' Eldrad thought before he looked around to see a village full of peaceful villagers tending their crops and even children that looked like they are playing around.

"Let's go there."

"Yeah."

The children all said as then ran past Eldrad as he looked in clarity and happiness at them, 'It's a truly peaceful and tranquil place here. A far cry from my world, thought.' Eldrad thought as he gripped his biceps at the memory.

Eldrad then shake his head before looking at the house, "Guess that's must be it." He said as he walked towards it.

Meanwhile, inside the house, the younger girl is busy eating bread with her older sister as they have their breakfast together.

"Oh, come on, Herina. The crumbs are all over your mouth." The older girl said as she takes a tissue and wipe the crumbs off Herina's face.

"Thanks." Herina thanked her elder sister in a muffled voice as her food is still in her mouth.

The two girls stopped when they heard knocking. They then looked at the door as Herina swallowed her food before looking at each other again.

"Yes! Who is...." The little girl then walked towards the door to opened it up to see who's knocking, ".....It!?" She yelped in fright.

And who can blame her.

What is in front of her is a towering figure draped in intimidating black armour who's design is just bizarre and alien to look at with a face hidden beneath a helmet that also carry an expressionless mask with only two glaring eyes.
