The Adventures Of Tempus: The Champion Of Four

Chapter 3: Meeting the Town

This chapter i plan to introduce you to the townspeople and have our protagonist get to know some people and make a life for himself. Before his new life is shattered by bandits next chapter that is.

Its been around 2 days since i first woke up in Tybalt and Ayleth's house. In that time i had thought hard on some things, first of all: A name. and Secondly what to do from this point on. The name i chose to go by for now was "Izzy". It became apparent to me that i could not go without a name and that i needed to go by something until i remembered my real name, thats if i remember my real name.... I have tried hard to remember where i came from but whenever i try to remember all i can get is flashes of a battle and I'm not even sure of the outcome. Tybalt and Ayleth have been very good to me since i have woken up. I gave them most of the gold i had in my coat when i was found. It was not much but it was all i had as payment for what they did for me. At first they tried to reject it but in the end i made them take it. I did not need the gold and they did.

And that brings me to where i am now. Tybalt is taking me down to meet the townsfolk. The place seems like a small hamlet. Only 10-20 people were here and it was not a wealthy town. However Tybalt told me that while the town may not be big; Every single one of the townsfolk were kind, honest, and hard working people. Everyone knew each other in the little community they lived in and it sounded like a nice place. Tybalt snapped me out of my thoughts by telling me "We are here"

The town square was a small fountain that flowed with water that presumably got water from a nearby stream. This is how the townspeople get water I'm told. "Nice to meet you kid, I'm Tristan, the local blacksmith. If you ever need a fixing up drop by my place." The blacksmith told me. Than some of the other townsfolk introduced themselves. At the end there was Tristan the blacksmith, Walter who was a farmer, Fredrick who was training with a sword hoping to one day go to the capital and become a knight. And some other friendly villagers. I also found out that Tybalt and Ayleth were a doctors.

After the introductions they asked me who i was, not sure what to tell them i said "Im Izzy." Without mentioning a occupation or where i was from. I got a couple confused stares but in the end the townspeople decided to let it go.

As i was walking back Tybalt asked me "So you remembered your name?..." "No, i came up with a name because i had to go by somthing" I responded. Eventually we reached the house. "Every Thursday we send somebody to the capital to sell our towns produce on the market. If you wanted I'm sure you could get a lift back to the capital" Tybalt told me. "No Thank you Tybalt" i told him. "I dont have anywhere to go and if its okay i would like to stick around here for a while" He nodded in understanding and i left the room.

Sorry for the abrupt ending but i have to go now.
