Lorena's POV:

I was very happy this afternoon because I spent this whole morning creating and underground big room to have a place as a storage as well. I organized all of my chests in their corresponding labels to what is held in each chest. I even created a window to look through and have a view of my village. After gushing over how amazing it all looks I decide today will be the day I will tame the cat I found. I was confused on my the cat wouldn't eat the fish so I asked Kiki for some help. She told me that I have to create a Pet Medallion first in order to get the cat to eat the fish and then tame it. So I gathered the materials to make it and headed over to my crafting bench and get to work. Once I was done I looked at how pretty the Medallion looked. After admiring it I went over to the furnace to grab the dish I cooked. I threw the fish in the cats direction and watched him eat it.

'Finally!'

Then I put the Medallion around his neck.

"I'm gonna name you Meowgli."

The cat purrs in approval and I let him. After all of that I decide to go to the Plaza to tell Kiki about my success.

'She's gonna be so proud of me!'

As I walk to the Plaza I still can't get over how amazing it looks. I spent the day before clearing out some of the land and replacing some of the dirt with smooth stone to expand the Plaza and it's looking bigger and better. I also notice a man talking to Kiki so I walk up to them.

???: "Good evening m'lady! Allow me to kiss your hand?"

My cheeks begin to redden and I shyly shake my head.

???: "I see, you must be a woman of business then! Very well, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Ethan, I'm a proprietor of the merchants guild. I've come to this town because it's just earned it's place on my map! A map I share with the world for merchants everywhere to spread their wealth... and my dear have I got the deal of a life-time for you!"

"I'm listening..."

Ethan: "Honesty is my best policy and let me tell you I'm really just a middleman, I scout out villages, find out what they need, and send over a merchant who happens to sell those goods. I get a few for information you see. Whether or not the merchant sticks around here is none of my business - that's between you and them.

However, this place here is PERFECT for a Plaza, what say you?

Are you interested in a certain kind of merchant? If so I can tell you what you'd need yo build for them to take interest in possibly setting up shop here. Tell me what you are looking for."

"Food items."

Ethan: "Food items, eh? Smart choice for the Lord of this village. Thinking of your people first! Now, for a good merchant to come by you're going to need a stand with three furnaces and a cutting board. Make a nice stand for them and I'll send word to see if an merchant is interested in this place - I can only send one merchant a week so it will be a while before I come back to this town.

Are you sure you want the food merchant?"

"Yes, I'm sure!"

Ethan: "Great! Speak with me when you're done with your stand!"

I nod my head and look over to Kiki.

Kiki: "Howdy Lorena! Have you met Ethan here yet? I've met him once before, he's a pretty nice fellow. By the way you see these sheep?

Well I've decided to breed them for a few days to start increasing their population around here... at least until my new shipment of animals arrives! I want to populate this area with lots of adorable and exotic animals - just my way of helping nature grow! Ke-ke-ke!"

I nod my head and head to my house to get a shears. After finding my shears from my tool chest I make my way back to the plaza and shear the sheep. I'm thinking of using the wool as part of the stand. I take a few minutes to think of how I'm going to build the food stand until I've decided on how to do it. I spend about half an hour creating the food stand but it looks great. It has the 3 required furnaces and cutting board. Now that I'm done I go to Ethan to let him know I'm done.

Ethan: " Here, when the merchant comes into town give them this and they'll know they're in the right place!"

I nod my head feeling proud of my food stand.

'Hopefully the food merchant that arrives will be nice and like the stand I built for them.'

I head over to the docks to see if anything else has arrived about Bright Port.

Garroth: "Good day Lady Lorena! Still no word from Bright Port on the whereabouts of their Lord. The moment I hear something I'll be sure to tell you. Zenix should be finishing up with his demolition of our previous Lord's home... at least I hope he has."

I nod my head and decide to go to where Zenix and Brenden are to check in their progress. As I arrive there I notice Brenden and Zenix are talking to each other with a serious look on their face. Zenix notices me approach them.

Zenix: "Some news m'lady... during our demolition we uncovered a cellar beneath the house.

The problem is it's locked and we haven't found a key to get inside. I'm going to have to report this to Garroth and see what our options are."

I look at Brenden.

Brenden: "WOW! THIS IS SO COOL! I wonder what's inside, so you think Cuddlezilla can squeeze into the cracks around the door and open it?

... Maybe a little too ambitious for a Hamster, huh?"

I giggle as a thought crosses my mind.

'A key? To open the cellar? Wait... I have a key! The key from the chest on the ship! Maybe it connects to this cellar.'

I run to my house in search of the key. I'm searching in every chest as I forgot where I placed it. I found the key and I rush upstairs to go back the previous Lord's home but when I looked out the window I saw how dark it is.

'Oh... it's already night. I guess I should sleep and I'll go try the key on the cellar tomorrow morning.'
