Herro! It's me! ;D I'm sorry I've been gone for so long peoples, and that I haven't updated my Warners story, but trust me, it's coming soon ^^; But this time, its Dragon Nest! What is Dragon Nest you ask? THATS Dragon Nest~ ;D So, I've written a fic inspired by my academic character, my friends cleric, and my other friends warrior. So, enjoy! ^^

Penellope

"I've been here for whats felt like years...I haven't seen my own for a very long time. I'm not sure where my family is...or if I even have one...I can't even remember my original name...Alana? Leah? Something like that...I may have hit my head a while back...But, when I made my first friend here in Mana Ridge not long ago before he left, he said that I look like a...Penellope. I never really liked that name at first. But later on over time, it started to grow on me quite a bit. Some of the other clerics and sorcresses though, they always say its an ugly name. They say rude things about me and call me bad names...It makes me sad, and I want to do something...But I just don't now what...My friend from a while back moved, and I never saw him again. He left me alone...Ever since, I've stayed in Mana Ridge, spending the night with some of the people that like here that'll be nice enough to feed me, or let me sleep there for the night...My brain is all messed up. I can hardly remember anything I do now...I can't remember the last time I actually did do something important. I wish I could find out where I'm really from...or my family...if I even have one that is..."

"Hey short stack!"

Penellope looked up from the ground at 4 young sorcresses standing above her.

"Oh. Hi Elise...What is it?" Penellope asked sadly.

"Well, I was gonna see if you wanted to come do a quest with us, but since you're in such a bad mood..." The girl rolls her eyes. Penellope's eyes light up.

"Really? Y-you'd take me on a quest?" She stands up quickly, her brown hair swishing from side to side.

"No." Elise grins.

"W-what?" Penellope looked confused.

"What would make you even think for one second that we would bring a homeless kid with no talent on a quest with us?" Elise walked away with her group as they cackled to themselves. Penellope squatted down before she slid back up against the light post she was leaning on. Tears welled up in her eyes slightly, but she wipes them away quickly.

"I'm a strong girl...I don't cry...Don't Cry...Don't...cry..." Tears rolled down her red cheeks as she breathed in the cold air. She looked up before letting out a shuddering, sad sigh.

'Is this what my life was like before I hit my head...? It...its terrible!' She thought.

"Chirp chirp~" There was a light sound coming from behind her.

"Hmm? Oh!" There was a small blue bird, which then flapped up onto her knee. She gave a sad smile at her new companion.

"At least somebody likes me..." She wiped away a tear as the bird chirped happily.

"Hmm..." She thought to herself,"There's got to be something I'm missing...When I woke up, I was in that icy forest right outside of town...maybe...maybe there's something there that can remind me of where I'm from! And where I need to go!" She said happily,"I'll find out who I am...somehow." She stands up.

"I'll make it an adventure!" Penellope says proudly. The blue bird chirped in response,"I gotta get outta Mana Ridge, and see whats in store for me!"

To Be Continued...
