The bustling streets of Urbul seem to toss me around like a rag doll. My mother's frail hands desperately cling onto my own clammy digits, attempting to lead me through the crowd. My head is bowed, and I feel too ashamed to look up, that is until I feel my mothers hands slip form my own, disappearing into the crowd.
My heart suddenly feels like it's burst into flame, I'm panicking and my throat is drying up, so much so that I can't even call out for my mother. I force myself to take in a deep breath, then I try to shuffle my way through the crowd, my eyes darting from left to right trying to find her. I see someone that slightly resembles her to my right-hand field of view, then suddenly-
"Oof"
Jeez, had I been so careless to bump into a wall or something? It feels like I'd thrown myself into bricks. I take a step back, rub the pain out of my cheek, and open my eyes.
Thats not a wall..
