Lorena's POV:

I decide today is good day to get to know the villagers more. I grab some Iron from my chest to give as gifts and have them know I am their friend if they'd like. I start by trying to talk to Emmalyn again but she ignores me as always. I pout and make my way outside as I start introducing myself to the villagers. I've had great conversations with Aidan the Farmer and Emma the Guard. I walk around as I spot Garroth. I decide to go up to him to see if there's anything new.

Garroth: "Good evenin'! Nothing to report, all is well today."

I bow my head  and make my way towards the well that I made a day ago. It's nothing too fancy but it is good to drink or gather water for the farm or to wash clothes. I'm thinking of making a plaza here and make some merchant stands for trading and selling. I make my way to the chicken farm and do my daily breeding and killing.

'I'm so sorry chickens... but my Thorgi needs to be well fed.'

After that I head to the little seed farm and start harvesting the seeds I planted and replant the next batch of seeds. I make my way to the hill that over looks the village and the docks and that's where I started building my new home. It's nothing big or fancy but it definitely is cozy. My walls, windows, doors and roof is built. All I need to do is place in the flooring and my bed and chests along with Thorgi. I start digging out the dirt and decide on placing smooth stone as my flooring. It makes it look brighter and it's more sturdy. Once I'm done I head back to Emmalyn's home to grab the rest of my stuff. I gather my chests, furnace, crafting bench and my bed and I'm all ready to go live in my new home. I see Emmalyn staring at me so I decide to go and say goodbye to her.

"I made my new home on top of that mountain over there. You can see it through your window. I know you don't like me much but thank you for letting me stay here, I really appreciate it and hopefully we can be friends soon."

She looks me up and down and grabs a book for her bookshelf and sits down on her chair and begins to read.

'At least I won't bother her anymore...'

I take all my things to my new home and begin decorating. I place torches on the walls to brighten the place and start placing my bed, book table and my chests. It got dark really fast so I get in bed and quickly fall asleep.

No one's POV:

Vischer is on the docks doing some late night fishing when suddenly...

* BOOM *

The docks was blown up and Vischer wasn't able to survive it. A little distance away, a woman with long white hair and purple eyes is standing on a tree watching a man with a mask and green eyes run away with TNT in his hand.

Lorena's POV:

I woke up full of energy from last night sleep. I was so tired that I immediately passed out and didn't hear a single thing or stir awake. I walk out my back door to take in the morning sunrise. As I'm about to head back inside I notice the docks is completely destroyed. I run down the mountain and make my way to the docks. I see both Zenix and Paul standing there. I run up to Zenix to find out what happened.

Zenix: "No one in the village knows of this Lady Lorena, except for myself, Garroth, and Paul.

To be frank, Garroth and I would like to keep it that way. I have my own reasons for wanting it this way.

You should see Garroth."

"All right, what are you going to be doing?"

Zenix: "I'm here to clean up and do some scouting in the area, maybe I can find the bastard who did this!

I was set to do my patrol here and hour before this... happened.

It's... weird."

"Are you okay Zenix?"

Zenix: "I... I seem to recall an event in my life, something that happened that was... or at least FELT like this, once before... somewhere...

You should go talk to Garroth now."

I bow my head and turn to go find Garroth when I see Paul staring at the docks with wide eyes and his mouth slightly agape.

I walk up to him to see what's wrong with him.

Paul: "T-This is horrible... absolutely HORRIBLE! I don't even... I was... Vischer was my best friend, he went out of his way to help me out and bring me here to sell food for my family.

Now this... now this... I just... please let me be. I just need some time."

The color of my face slowly drains as I take in the news.

'V-Vischer is d-dead?...'

I slowly walk towards the village in search of Garroth. I find him standing next to Emmalyn's home and he sees me walking up to him.

Garroth: "I'm glad you came to see me. The explosion that happened at the docks, Vischer... please don't tell anyone in this village about it."

"Why not?"

Garroth: "it's a HUGE issue, an issue that a small village cannot deal with. Vischer was a wonderful man, I'm sure. We will honor him here where he fell, but the docks were not something we were expecting to happen, but they did and as quickly as they were constructed they were taken away.

In short, no one in town even knew we had a dock. It's just something we can work towards later."

"Ok...ay. Zenix also said you called for me?"

Garroth: "Yes, I did.

We need to get Paul and Vischer's body back home. That is where you come in. Please, I ask of you. Reconstruct a Vischer's Sea vessel or at least a new one... just something to get Paul back home.

You need not do it, but I ask. I'll leave the choice in your hands. If you can make this happen, I know a way we can make it sail... possibly with you aboard."

I know what Garroth is asking me to do. He wants me to make a ship and take Paul and Vischer's body back home. I don't like the feeling of having to take a dead body but I know Paul probably isn't in the right mind to take him home himself.

I bow my head and go and look for Brenden. I find him in his house that is in front of Babe house. I walking in and he sees me come in.

Brenden: "Howdy there friend!"

I decide to tell him about the docks and how it was destroyed.

Brenden: "...............................

T-The docks I spent days working on was blown up... w-who would do this?"

I decide not to tell him about Vischer so I just solemnly shrug my shoulders and pout.

Brenden: "Ugh, I'll get out my shovel again and start working on a few dock for more trade."

I bow my head and thank him as I make my way outside. Today has been such a crazy day so I decide to make my way home and play with Thorgi to take my mind off of things.

'Tomorrow is a new day...'
