Encounter

It was already dark when Peter came home. He was tired from treating patients all day long and just wanted to go to bed. He was living in the Field Village, so most of the people living there were farmers. And although most of the men were strong because of that, the hard labour on the fields almost had to lead to injuries. So as the only doctor in the village there were more than a few patients to treat.

It was a cool day at the end of September. 'It'll get colder soon and there are bound to be more people getting sick during winter... I'll have to prepare more medicine...', he thought and sighed. He couldn't even remember the last time he had a day off, but since he got free stuff and food from everyone in the village he thought that that wasn't so bad. He also was very serious about his work and his duties as a doctor. He had studied in the Doctors Village and there they valued the lifes of their patients greatly.

As the name suggested nearly all of the people working there were doctors, just as the most people in the Field Village were working in the fields. In between the walls there were a lot of villages like those two, all with different professions. So because goods of different kind were concentrated in certain areas there was bound to be a lot of trade in all villages.

Lost in thought Peter almost fell when is foot hit something that shouldn't have been there and he stumbled. Surprised he turned around to see what it was, only to be shocked and almost fall down again. What he had stumbled across was a person, a woman or rather a girl to be specific. She was covered in blood and unconscious!

He had seen a lot during his studies, but he had never encountered such grave injuries during the time he worked. She was lying on her front and seemed to be bleeding from her belly, where a pool of blood had already formed. Two parallel cuts went from her forehead, where her red hair begun, through her left eye and down to her chin. It was a terrifying sight and it was a wonder he didn't scream.

Peter pulled himself together and kneed down to take a closer look at her. She was still breathing! Quickly he began to carefully treat her wounds. When he moved her, her sleeve revealed her arm. And when Peter saw what was on it he fell over. "She.... She is an outsider!!!", he muttered, not believeing his eyes.
