The Witch
My bird friend led me to a far away village, and I was quite confused on what he was implying me to do. After he flew up into a tree, he suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a small feather. Apparently I was alone in this now.

Walking around town in a simple disguise, I saw a man. He had dark black hair, beautiful eyes, and a great build. He looked intimidating, and a guy you don't want to mess with. Yet at the same time, he looked sweet and gentle. Terrifying yet kind. I was intrigued by his appearence, so I decided I might as well talk to him. Learn his story, and what he's doing.

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?" I asked as kindly as I could. He turned and smiled gently at me.

"Sure! I go by Sparrow. My I ask who you are?" he answered, ever so softly. He smiled at me, after finishing His sentence.

"Of course. My names lily. How about we go sit somewhere. I wanna talk to you." I quickly said. I made up a name for now, since I do not have any trust for this man whatsoever. I don't trust people in that way anymore.

"So why did you come to this village?" I asked finally after sitting down at a bench we found outside. I looked at Him with confusion and wonder in my eyes.

"I don't know actually. I'm just kinda following what feels right. I actually don't really remember much. I just know that one day I woke up in a village, with no memory. Now I've been surfing them around a lot, trying to find out if I can retrieve my memory. So far nothing's happened." he emplained, looking out at some plants.

"Seeing as your armed with your katana, have you been in a fight yet?" I questioned, looking out at some small rabbits running around.

"No one had been super bad, but I have threatened people with it." He told me. I nodded.

"I'll see you around stranger." I said, standing up. When I started walking away, I felt something grab my arm.

"Don't leave yet, it's my turn to ask you some questions." He said. I smiled.

"Fine. But only 3." I scolded, smiling softer. He led us back to the bench.

"What's your bussiness here?" he asked, looking at me.

"I try to help people, mostly the ones who need it most. But I try and help everyone." I answer. If was half a lie, but then again it was what I do.

"Have any family here?" he questioned. I shook my head in response.

"Okay uhh, will I see you around here a lot?" he smiled. I shrugged.

"Depends on if you want to see me. If you do, then most likely. If not, then no." I said, standing up. I brushed a piece of hair out of my face. He smiled at me, waving as I left.

Maybe I need to get to know this guy a bit more...
