~Lorena's POV~

I stir awake as I have a pounding headache. I slowly open my eyes and let them accustom to the brightness of the sun. I look at my surroundings.

'Why am I laying in a forest? And why can't I remember anything? Where am I?'

I slowly stand up as I feel my legs shake a little as if I've been asleep for years. I start walking around trying to take in at my surroundings.

"Getting some wood would be a good start."

I walk to a nearby tree and begin to collect some wood. I do that with about 3 other trees until I decide that I have a good amount of wood in my inventory. I walk straight hoping to run into a village. As I'm walking I notice a figure by a tree collecting wood.

"Hello? Hi! I want to talk to you!"

I run to the person who seems to look like a man. I look down to make sure I don't trip but when I reach the spot where the man was I notice he's gone. He left the tree halfway cut.

'What a waste of a good tree'

I look to my left and I notice the man running. So I decide to chase after him hoping he'll let me talk to him and figure out where I am.

"Hey! Please stop! I want to ask you something!"

I keep chasing him until I see a village come into view. Then I notice a guard chasing after him with a sword and they run off.

'Oh my goodness I hope the guard doesn't hurt the man. But hey he led me to a village!'

I walk up to the village noticing another guard with a mask over his face but revealing his brown eyes. That's when the other guard who was chasing the mystery man comes back. He has a helmet that completely covers his face.

'I wonder what he looks like.'

I over hear the guard with the helmet covering his complete face talk to the other guard.

???: "I don't think anyone in the village will listen to any of the guards Zenix. Not after how horrible the last Lord was..."

'So the guard with the brown eyes is Zenix...'

Zenix: "Now that the Lord is gone the village is in chaos. What are we going to do Garroth?'

'Garroth is the man with the helmet covering his face completely. I'm guessing these are the main guards of this village.'

They notice me listen in on their conversation and both walk up to me with their swords in hand next to their sides. I slowly take a step back as I feel intimidated.

Zenix: "Who are you and what are you doing in our village?

"M-my name is Lorena... I woke up in the middle of the forest without recollection of anything leading up to me waking up. I was hoping to find a village to stay in, i-if you will allow me to stay..."

They both stare at me intently as Garroth nods his head at Zenix and they both put their swords back into their sheaths.

Garroth: "My name is Garroth and this is my partner Zenix. We are the head guards of this village. Have a look around and make yourself at home, welcome."

I bow and thank them for letting me stay and make my way up the stone path into the village. I look around at all the houses and the many villagers walking around. I trip on a few uneven stones and bump into a guard.

???: "Be careful there young lady! These roads be making people stumble day and night haha! My name is Dale and I am a guard of this village. I haven't seen you around... what is your name?"

"My n-name is Lorena. I just stumbled into this village hoping to make a home here."

Dale: "We'll then Welcome! If you ever need a trusty guard you can come to me!"

I smile and bow to him as a thank you. I keep walking up the stone path as I see a house that looks empty. I open the door revealing a small home with bookshelves, a table, a chair and a crafting bench.

'Maybe I can stay here.'

I head back out to find some stone to make a pickaxe and start mining some ore, especially coal. That house I found doesn't having any lanterns or torches so I am going to have to make some. I find a good handful of coal and even stumble upon some iron. I make my way back to the house and get to work making some torches and a shears with the iron I smelted. I go back out to find some sheep and shear them for wool seeing as it's getting dark soon and I don't have a bed. I find 2 sheep hoping to get enough wool and lucky for me I end up getting 3 wool. I go back home and make myself a bed and place it down getting myself ready to sleep until a person comes in. A woman with blonde hair, black glasses and a pink coat.

'Does she live here? Oh no did I barge into her home?'

"H-hello, my name is Lorena and I found this house alone so I thought I could stay here. Do you live here?"

She looks at me up and down and rolls her eyes.

'I don't think she likes me...'

???: "My name is Emmalyn and yes this is my home. You can stay here but DON'T bother me or try to talk to me!"

She then walks out the door.

'Oh boy, I hope this will work out and we can be friends soon...'

I notice how late it is and decide to get into bed and sleep.

'Hopefully tomorrow will be better.'
