Chapter 2: The Journey

(I was too tired to re-format this from my doc, I'll do it eventually)

Waking up you can’t say it was exactly a comfortable sleep as you find a large number of bug bites scattered around your body. Refilling your water and gathering all your stuff together you then weigh your options before taking the grass mattress with you just in case you didn’t find a place by nightfall. With your compass in hand, you take note of the directions you are going, only stopping along the way to take out your book and collect more berries and edible roots. Eventually, night falls and you are exhausted- your feet are killing you and your back is starting to hurt. After looking around you find a place beneath the trees, cutting apart the grass to make it easier to sleep and you settle down to bed.

In the morning you wake up in a jolt of pain to more bug bites and a rock next to your leg where you seem to have scraped your calf, hard and deep. You sit up and grab your pack, flipping through the plants book before opening your   Inventory   and selecting blackberries. You start grinding up some of the blackberries you found earlier and then smearing them on the cut. Afterwards you pull some leaves off the trees and tie them around your calf with grass.

Then after gathering your stuff you started walking again.

It was likely around late afternoon or so when you finally saw the first signs of non-animal presence. There were chopped-down trees scattered all along the area with the occasional signs of a broken handle or end of a very blunt and worn axe. As you move your way past the stumps and the logs and the leftover trees, eventually about half an hour, maybe even an hour later you're not sure, you come to what looks like a settlement or a town. There wasn't a lot but there were a couple of buildings and what looked like the beginnings of construction. You didn't see many people but there were definitely people that live here. It was peaceful from an outside perspective but knowing that you couldn't remember anything from your life you were wary of people since what were you doing alone at such a young age in the middle of the forest, so you ended up setting up camp about half an hour's walk in a cave that wasn’t very deep.

You stayed there just managing around the area finding food, even getting up the courage to take some of the crops during the nights and you stayed there for the next couple of days maybe even a week or two honestly you weren't very much keeping track but eventually you notice that more people were coming more and more and more and more. Some of them were children that looked to be around your age who instantly bonded with the kids already there. It made you curious as to what this place is and maybe you were part of it at one point, maybe you were but maybe you weren't. It seemed like it was a new settlement and as more days passed by eventually, you met some boys while you were out foraging. you didn't think much at first when hearing the rustling- you thought maybe it was a fox or a wolf pup as you'd seen many but all of a sudden two young boys came rushing through a bush right at you. One of them, the taller of the two, tripped and fell on the first boy causing them both to fall on you.

It was a sense of oddity for you both. You would be interacting with people- you didn't even know if you spoke the same language as you had never gotten close enough to see but when they introduced themselves you knew you did. One of them, the taller one who tripped, immediately broke out into a big grin and held his hand out saying, “The name’s Big Man Tommy Innit.” Meanwhile, the other boy looked at you with slight concern and caution but introduced himself as Tubbo.

Hesitantly, you spoke, "My- my name's Y/N."

"So Y/N, what're you doin' 'ere?" The blond said gesturing to the surrounding woods.

"Oh, so… uh funny story," you started, smiling awkwardly, "I kinda woke up in the middle of a field…. with no memories and no idea who I am."

The two boys looked at you and then each other. "So, how do you know your name then?"
