~ Lorena's POV ~

I woke up bright and early this morning before any of the villagers woke up, besides the guards, so I could fix up that troublesome stone pathway. I gathered tons of wood and stone and got to work. As soon as I finished all of the villagers awoke and began to do their jobs like farming, cooking and harvesting. I notice some of them talk amongst each other about how smooth the pathway looks. It made me smile to myself as I felt somewhat proud. As I was walking back home to put my tools away I noticed Garroth staring at the pathway. He looked up at me as he saw me walking by.

Garroth: "The streets look nicer... did you do this?"

I was to shy to admit it so I just nodded my head and ran straight home. I closed the door and let out a deep breath. I walked to my chest to put my materials away and noticed I had some iron that I forgot to smelt. So I put it in the oven and used the smelted iron to upgrade my tools and armor. I walked back outside to get some fresh air and passed by 2 women chatting with each other. One of them saw me and waved me over. She was talk with long blonde hair and bright green eyes.

???: "I haven't seen you in town, what's your name? My name is Emmalynn with double nn in the end."

'Another Emmalynn? Well she seems nicer.'

"My name is Lorena and yes I am new to town. I just arrived here yesterday afternoon."

???: "That's good to hear! It always great to receive more villagers, we could use the help! My name is Molly by the way!" The girl next to her said. She is shorter than Emmalynn and has the same long blonde hair but darker green eyes.

"It's nice to m-meet you both!"

Emmalynn: "We'll if you ever need someone to chat with we live here in this little house, Brendan calls this the babe house.." she says as she rolls her eyes and laughs.

"Thank you." I say and walk away.

I decide to go home and make myself a boat. When I was the building the pathway I noticed 2 villages not that far away from shore so I went to go explore them and see what is going on there. I build my boat and head to the shore of the village. I place the boat in the water and carefully get in. I make my way to the village straight ahead from mine first. As I get closer I notice that the water has flooded their village and they have no land to step on. I quickly get out some dirt from my inventory and start placing it next to a house. People start swimming their way to the small patch of dirt and get on it. There was one female with long brown hair and a grey and white striped shirt. She comes up to me.

???: "Thank you so much darlin' for helping us out. Our village flooded just 2 days ago and we're trying to figure out a way to get out of here. I want to leave but almost everybody wants to stay and hope the flood lowers soon."

"That sounds horrible! If you want to leave I have some space in my boat and you can follow me to my village."

???: "Well how kind of you! Yes I would love to go with you, my name is Donna by the way"

"Nice to meet you Donna, my name is Lorena."

I lead Donna to my boat and we make our way back to my village. I get back to the shore where I headed off from.

'A dock here would be helpful for when I need to depart by boat'

That's a task for another day. I carefully get off the boat and help Donna out as well. I lead her to our village and help her find a home. Emmalynn and Molly see us and I introduce them to Donna and tell them about her situation. Molly suggests Donna stays with them for the mean time until she can find or build her own home. Donna agrees and they make some room for her. I say my goodnights to them and walk back to my house with Emmalynn. It's already dark out so when I head inside I find her asleep so I carefully tiptoe my way to my bed and quickly fall asleep.
