Forever Trapped in Time

Time Lost Forever

??? POV

"..."   I try to speak but no sound comes out.  I wake up in a forest and look around to see a pool of water not far away.  Getting up, I walk over and look at my reflection.  In the water is a girl with long black hair and red eyes.  She is has a white dress with red rope of she sort tied around her waist, black tights that goes up a little past her knees, black cloak, and a sword at her side.   This is my past selfs body, meaning my original body as when I was Misaki.

'So I really do have my real body back, and that must mean that I successfully traveled back in time too.' I say to myself since no voice comes out as I became mute due to time traveling and not having a body that's originally from this world, and that also means that I no longer will grow anymore.  I will forever be trapped in this body.  That is part of the small price I had to pay in order to save the world and change everyone's future for better or worse, well actually just better because I don't want it to be for worst again.  I start wandering around trying to find the exit.  I don't recognize the area's forest so I can't be in any of the kingdoms I've traveled too.  It doesn't take to long before I find my way out of the forest.  Seeing a village up ahead, I begin walking along the dirt road that is surrounded by verdant grass.I decide to stop in town and figure out where I am.  Then I will figure out what to do about traveling back to my kingdom and making sure Astra gets to her father's safety.  Her survival is essential to my plan in saving the world, not to mention I want her to be able to live happily with her family.  Let me say this though, many things are going to be different now that I'm not Astra.  For example, she will stay in the academy and together with everyone in her class, they will defeat all the evils in this game and she will end up with either the third prince, Satoshi, or the prince of fire dragons, Toshiaki. It's a secret that he's adopted though.  There is also a hidden character however the chances of meeting him are unlikely.

"Hey little lady, what are doing out here all by yourself?" A gruff voice calls out from behind and I see a man on a wagon being pulled by a horse. He is a middle-aged man that has black hair, green eyes, and a beard. He is dressed in peasant's clothes so he must not be nobility yet I can tell he is someone special.

I open my mouth to speak, but of course, I can't talk I shut my mouth and try motioning that I cannot speak and luckily he seems to understand. "So you can't talk huh? Can you write?" I nod my head to his question so he then asks, "I don't recognize you from the village, what are you doing all the way out here?"

I look around and see a stick off to the side of the road so picking it up, I write in the dirt road the truth since I feel like I shouldn't lie to this man.

I woke up in that forest over there and I don't know where I am. There is somewhere I need to go so I can protect the ones I love.

"Hm? You, protecting others? You don't have any powers as far as I can see so how do you plan on doing that?" His eyes narrow as he observes me. "How about I give you a ride to a village then, I can tell you about where you are and you can tell me what you are doing here, how about that?

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you why I am here, all I can say is that I need to gain any powers I can to protect those I loved.

"Interesting, well little lady this is the Trelaryn Kingdom. I'll take you to the village, let's talk more there." He pats the seat next to him.

Thank you

It's a short chapter but I'm still trying to figure out how I should continue the story and what changes should be made. It's been a long time but this is a sequel to Reincarnated to another world I hope you all will enjoy!
