Lorena's POV

While I was baking some potatoes in my furnace I heard Thorgi bark. I turn around to find him sitting on my bed wagging his tail.

"No Thorgi, dogs can't be on beds. It is unsanitary-"

I look at him as he stares at my with his happy face and wagging tail.

"-...mmm okay fine you can stay because you're so adorable!"

I pet his head and go back to my furnace as the last batch of potatoes are finally done. I put some in my chest for later times and some in my inventory for whenever I get hungry. The plan for today is looking for a place to build my home. I'm liking this village and the people here are nice so I think I'll stay here. I don't mind living with Emmalyn but I don't think she likes me very much and she probably prefers her privacy so it's best I leave since this was her home in the first place. I gather some material from my chest and make my way outside. Thorgi follows right behind me. As I'm walking through the village I spot Zenix patrolling the are so I decide to go talk to him about what happened at the previous Lord's home.

"Hi Zenix, what are you doing?"

Zenix: "Just keeping an eye on Paul,he's new in town and although I'd like to think he's nice folk... I just don't trust anyone, ya know? Kind of how I was raised."

"I can understand that."

Zenix: "Thanks.

By the way, what did you find the other day?"

I proceed to tell him everything about what I found at the previous Lord's home.

Zenix: "The old Lord's journal...? Pages were ripped out...? Then you fainted...?

Hm, I'll investigate the area on my next patrol. Thanks for the information Lady Lorena."

I bow my head and make my way to the little seed farm as I notice my strawberries and rice are ready to harvest. I spend some time harvesting and Thorgi helps me by bringing me some fish he fished up for dinner later. I stand up and notice Paul on the other side of the little sees farm so I walk up to him.

"Hi Paul."

Paul: "I'm all souls out of goods, some mysterious lookin' fellows came and bought me out! Just taking in a few sites before I head to the docks and back on home!"

I smile and bow my head at him.

'I'm glad someone bought him out so he can go back home and feed his family.'

I happily walk through the village and spot Garroth next to my house. I decide to go talk to him and tell him the good news of Paul.

"Hi Garroth."

Garroth: "Lady Lorena, you'll be pleased to hear that one of the villagers has spent some time developing the land for trade routes just East of here.

I've already given him my thanks, but I think you should go take a look at his work."

I bow my head and make my way to the place Garroth told me to go when suddenly I hear Thorgi whimper. I look at him and see him go in circles and continue to whimper.

"Oh no are you hungry? Hold on let me get you some food!"

I rush to the chicken farm and get some seeds out and breed the chickens. About 10-15 baby chickens come out so I begin to kill the adult chicken to get some food for Thorgi. I run to my house and quickly make a bowl of food. I struggle many times as I forget the recipe on how to make so I begin to panic and I can hear Thorgi whimper louder. I finally get the recipe right and quickly place the bowl of food on the floor and I see Thorgi begin to eat. I sit down on the floor and out my hand on my chest as I begin to take in some deep breaths.

'That was scary, I need to stock up on some chicken so this doesn't happen again.'

Thorgi finishes his bowl and begins to wag his tail in approval. I smile at him and pet his head. I stand up and tell Thorgi to follow me as I finally make my way to the place Garroth told me to go. As I arrive I notice a man with a green shirt and green eyes standing there with a shovel and a beautiful dock on the shore.

'Oh my goodness! We have a dock now!'

I walk up to him and he notices me and begins to puff out his chest as he puts his hands on his hips. I giggle at the sight.

???: "Whew! This dock took a while to make..."

"You made this!?"

???: "Yeah I made this dock, since we were running low on supplies back at the farm on the village I figured opening a dock for ships to land would open up a few trades with the local villages."

"Thank you for doing that, my name is Lorena."

???: "Ah! You're the famous Lorena I have been hearing about. My name is Brenden and it is nice to meet you m'Lord!"

I bow my head and just now notice a man on the dock with a ship behind him so I walk up to him.

???: "Aye! I be sailin' this beauty of a ship booty ere'! Came ere' from a village much like yours with a passenger names Paul, local farmer back at home.

Just a'waitin' on Paul to get back so's we can set sail.

'It would be fun to go travel that village for a little while. Maybe I can ask him if I could go too?'

"Could I come with you?"

???: "This vessel be a two man ship! But if ye would like passage to our village I'll consider coming back after I drop off Paul back to our village, ye'd have to make it worth my while if ye know what I mean... Heh, heh, heh..."

"Ew! What!?"

???: "By the heaves, NOT THAT! I MEAN GOLD WOMAN! The thought of... I have a wife and kid back home, lady!"

"Whoops, sorry! You were being creepy!"

???: "Aye, I'm just messin' with ya! I know I give off that creepy ol' man feeling, just have a hand o' gold for me when I come back to these docks next time, aye?"

"Aye! By the way, selling anything?"

He opens his chest that's next to him and I see some shark teeth, raw crawfish, raw salmon and some raw fish. He's selling them for gold which isn't that cheap or expensive.

"What's your name by the way?"

Vischer: "Aye! The names' Vischer!"

"Nice to meet you Vischer and welcome to our village."

I run back home to get some gold that I smelted a while ago. I check my furnace just to see if I left some gold smelting there too and I did so I grab those as well and put them in my inventory. I make my way back to Vischer and look in his chest again as I buy 6 shark teeth.

'Maybe I could make a net...'

I make my way back home and look in my chest to find some string. I grab a handful of string and my shark teeth and walk to my crafting bench. I look up the recipe to make a net in a crafting book that I found in the bookshelves of my home. I make the net successfully and start heading out to the shore alongside the dock. I look around in the water and notice a pink dolphin.

'Maybe I can catch the dolphin and make a small river for it to live in the village.'

I tell Thorgi to catch me a fish and he jumps in the water in search for one. He comes back 2 minutes later with a fish in his mouth and I take it from him and make my way towards the pink dolphin and sway the fish in its vision. It swims over to me as it eat the fish off my hand and makes a happy noise. I place the net over it as I put it in my inventory.

"I'm gonna name you Flipper, I'm gonna make you a nice home."

I see the Sun start to set and decide it's time to go home. Me and Thorgi make our way back home and get ready to get in bed.
