The first thing I can remember clearly is darkness and silence around me along with the feeling of falling at great speed, for moments later….

- -Co ... -ico ... boy wakes up-. Those were the first words I heard when I opened my eyes and woke up in the middle of a forest with four strangers who were around me, wearing black and white armour with the symbol of a blackbird on their chest, and further away from these, I could see four other men dressed in the same set of armour.

-Hey, boy, are you okay? How did you end up here? Asked one of the men, who were around me.

"W-what happened? How did I get ... here?" I asked, still dazed as I tried to rejoin and showed clear signs of being disoriented, confused and with a very probable face of exhaustion, both physical and magical.

"Calm down, boy," one of the men told me, while he prevented me from getting up, and asked. "What did I call you ..." but he couldn't finish asking, since he was interrupted by another of the men.

-Bricius, we have to go now, the explorers have seen sawyers around here, and we would be in serious trouble if we have to fight those things, and at the same time, we have to babysit. So, couldn't you continue with the question session at camp?

"Tch ... okay," he nodded and quickly gave instructions to the other men. "Take a stretcher! The boy is coming, maybe ..." At this point, I was not able to maintain my conscious state any longer and I fainted.

¡Clank crash!

A loud knock took me out of unconsciousness and made me get up as fast as I could, while I was looking for the source of the noise and my eyes roamed the place where I was, they recalled a girl who was quickly picking up what looked like a tray He brought two plates of food, food that was now scattered all over the floor. The girl's face showed a worried expression as she tried to pick up the food, and it got worse when she saw me awake and watching her sitting from the bed. Seeing how she got more and more nervous by my look, I have no choice but to help her since I also have some guilt.

"But?" His reaction left me puzzled, prompting me to ask him again, "Why? Are you okay?" Let me help you with that. - I said as he approached me to help her.

-What? No, please, sir! If they see it later, it will be worse.-the girl told me, very alarmed.

"But?" Her reaction to her left me puzzled, prompting me to ask her again, "Why?"

-Well ...- at the right moment in which she was about to answer, I heard a voice coming from outside the store, and made the girl suddenly go silent.

than?

-Edge! Where have you been ?, My jug is not going to refill itself.-shouted a voice, just before a tall man of 1.80, with his shirt ajar showing a muscular torso, along with a sloppy beard and that reeked of alcohol, entered the store. To be honest, when I saw this man walk in, it gave me a feeling of rejection, or rather, it was like a little alert within me, one that told me it was better to stay away from him. When he entered, the young woman suddenly stood up and stood firm. "Yep, a person who is not dangerous does not cause that kind of reaction, I will have to be careful with this men.

will have to be careful with this men.

"Arista, why didn't you answer me ..." He interrupted himself, to start yelling at the girl.

-What do you think you're doing!? Why he sick is doing YOU! work!? - The girl was shaking a lot, it seems that she is afraid of him.

The girl, still afraid, answered him with a brittle voice.- You see, Mr Ankor ... let me explain it to you - she said as she was slowly backing away and quite possibly unconsciously, - ... what happened is ... -And while trying to explain what happened, the man extended his hand, and gave him a slap as loud as it was painful.-PLAF!

This is for protesting me, and this is by your useless, why don't you know how to do anything right? -the girl closed her eyes waiting and gritted her teeth for the second slap, -Please wait! It was not her fault, but mine, since I startled her by suddenly getting up, it is not necessary to hit anyone since this has only been a small accident, don't you think? The girl who I now know is called Arista, stared at the scene with an expression of not really understanding what had just happened, in fact, the scare that the poor woman took caused her legs to fail and she fell to the ground.

-So, could you tell me where I am now and what do you need from my lord? - "Well I guess I have to get to work and find out some things, basically because I'm not managing to remember anything from the forest. But more importantly, now, let's see what this man tells us. "

-Tch ... you think you are very brave, don't you- he paused, and continued speaking- They send me to abuse you, our captain wants to talk to you and ask you some questions, so hurry up and follow me boy.- said that, the man He left the store we were in. "I'll be right away," I said as I approached the poor girl who is still stunned on the ground, seriously, how scared is she of that guy? I held out my hand to her and helped her back up, she said goodbye quickly and left rather hastily.

When I left the store the sky was already dark, and the only burning lights they could see came from some bonfires scattered around the area along with various stores like the one I was in, accompanied by the image of the shelves of weapons and weapons in addition to that of its owners, who were sitting around the fire, drinking mead and eating the meat of some animal that they would have hunted in the area, all this accompanied by the background laughter of the people who were there, the truth is that it is a quite cosy scene without a doubt.
