Chapter 1: The Lost Memories

The Adonia Continent was a very small place among the world consisting now of only one city and few villages, the other city used to be known as the Sechs Empire but was destroyed not too long ago. The Sechs Empire were planning on destroying the Adonia Continent with Monsters that they hid away in the ruins to become angry and aggressive then unlease them across the continent and crumble it to pieces.

They were planning this so they could then reclaim the Kingdom of Norad for themselves and rebuild it all and become in power of the continent. Fortunatly the Sechs Empire was stopped and was destroyed, by one brave person whose identity was never known and before anyone could thank them and find out who they were, they were already gone. People say that they wandered off into the forests to try and vanquish other monsters that hadn't been slayed yet , while some say that they died as a hero. No one found out what happened to the person who saved the Empire.

Kardia was the biggest Village in the Adonia continent almost completely around the village was pure forestry but also caves and ruins that were around and intertwined with the forest and hills in the borders. It was the closest village to what was the Sechs Empire being that they shared a border to Kardia's West side.

Today started on a bright sunny day in spring it was just after the big cook off festival in town it seemed to be a normal day besides the festival where a little girl was running out of the village and past the abandoned farm where she was being followed by an older girl.

"Cecilia! Cecilia you mustn't go away from your Father! If he knew you were here-" The older girl shouted as she ran after Cecilia, her long blonde hair began to sway from side to side in the pony tail that was tied with a big pink bow. Cecilia had stopped in front of a house door and waited for the older girl to come.

"Come on Mist! You such a slow poke!" Cecilia shouted back at Mist while she ran towards the house.

"Cecilia you shouldn't have run off! It's the festival you should be enjoying the day!" Mist shouted to her finally reaching the house.

"I can enjoy it later I want to see what you found! Please!" Pleaded Cecilia , Mist looked at the pleading little girl and couldn't help but smile at her.

"Quickly, then back to the festival" Mist said walking to the door and unlocked it. Cecilia jumped up and down in excitement and ran in after Mist into her house.

"Where is it?" Cecilia shouted excitedly she watched Mist walk round to her kitchen and pick something off the table.

"Here" Mist bent down to Cecilia showing her a small sparkly stone, Cecilia gently took the stone from Mist and held it in her hand.

"It's so pretty! I wish I had a stone like this, where did you find it?" Cecilia curiously asked.

"It doesn't matter where I found it as you don't need to find your own, you can have this one." Mist told Cecilia whose little smile grew where it almost reached each of her pointy ears. "I don't collect stones so I don't need it and it was just as a stumbled past when I found it, so if you would like it-"

"Oh yes please Mist thank you! It can go next to my ruby stones! Thank you!" Cecilia shrieked with excitement holding tightly on to the little stone whilst she spun around.

"Now come on your father is going to wonder where you've gone" Mist spoke whilst standing back up she then walked out Mist's house. Whilst Mist locked her door, Cecilia turned around and tilted her head to the side giving an obscure look towards a path Mist caught a look of Cecilia's expression.

"What are you doing?" Mist asked her

"Why is there that man sleeping over there?" Asked Cecilia looking up at Mist, Mist looked around but couldn't see a man anywhere.

"I don't see anyone Cecilia, come on we have to get back before you father notices you've gone." Mist urged Cecilia but she wouldn't.

"Why can't you see him look he's in the bush over there see!" Cecilia pointed to a bush but Mist couldn't see anything. Mist tried to hold Cecilia's hand to take her back to the village but the free spirited child ran to the bush. "Mist look he's hurt! He's so hurt that he couldn't even make it back to his home to rest!" Mist ran over the Cecilia and the bush and the little girl was right there was a man lying on the ground. Mist turned Cecilia away and knelt down to her.

"Cecilia you must go back to the festival." Mist sternly told the little girl

"But I want to help the man" Cecilia stubbornly said

"You know how the mayor feels about strangers in our village. You go back and have a fabulous time I'll stay here and look after the man." Mist told her

"But everyone will wonder where you are and they will-"

"It's nice of you to say that but you know as well as I, they won't really care if I'm there. They still haven't taken to me yet. You go and have fun with Nicolas and come and tell me another day how it was and I'll take care of the man until he wakes up." Mist finally got through to Cecilia who gave her a hug and shouted goodbye whilst she ran back to the village.

Mist looked at the man in the bus she picked up a twig from the ground and poked his shoulder with it. "Sir? Sir can you hear me? Sir you have to wake up" She spoke calmly to the stranger while her heart felt like it was beating a thousand beats per second eventually after a lot of prodding with the stick then man grumbled.

"Oh thank god I thought you were dead" Mist sighed in relief placing her hand on her heart the man then tried to lift himself up from the ground Mist saw the pool of blood where the man had been laid. The man slowly managed to sit up with the support of a nearby tree his head remained down and his eyes shut whilst he breathed heavily and quickly. Mist didn't know what to do she knew she wouldn't be able to lift the man on her own and trying to could cause him more harm plus she didn't know if he was a friend or a foe yet.

"Mist! Whatcha doing Cecilia came back to the park shouting the odds about a guy sleeping in a bush?" a young man shouted running up to her

"Zavier! Thank gracious your here! Look he's badly injured but I can't lift him on my own to be able to get him to my house to be able to check on him properly and his isn't strong enough to be able to lift his own head let alone be able to get up and walk. Zavier you have to help me." She pleaded to him

"The Mayor doesn't like strangers Mist...plus how do we know he isn't an assassinator or something. Mist I think we better just go back to the festival and contact the mayor he'll-"

"He'll leave him to die!" She shouted at him standing up. "Either help me Zavier or I'll get him back to my house and help him on my own." Zavier looked at her, her face was serious but her colour was drained the only colour that was on her face was her pink soft lips and her sparkling blue eyes.

"Ok look you go and unlock your door and get ready for him then come back and I'll lift him and get him there ok?" Zavier replied. Mist nodded and ran off into her home leaving Zavier with the man. Zavier began to feel nervous he looked over the bush and saw the state the man was in, he knelt down towards him.

"Ermm...you still awake?" Zavier spoke nervously towards the man

"...yeh..." the man spoke between breaths

"You got a name?" Zavier asked trying to make a conversation while waiting for Mist

"...Rag...un...a" the man stuttered out

"Raguna huh?" Zavier repeated to him but the man didn't reply

"How did you get into this state?" Zavier curiously looking down but the man was again out of consciousness who then started to fall to the floor, Zavier acted quick and grabbed him he then squatted down and got ready to pick him up at that Mist came running back.

"I've got it all set I've put sheets down and get some medicine set up in my room and everything." Mist quickly said.

"So in others words ready to get him in?" Zavier looked up to her asking bluntly, Mist looked at him and nodded. "Come on then. Right...mate ok I'm going to lift you up ok and I'm going to take you to Mist's home don't worry it's not that far and were going to patch you up ok?" Zavier spoke to the man he then stood up with the man with his arm around Zaviers shoulder and Zavier holding his arm around his neck and the other on his side.

"I thought you were going to pick him up!" Mist shouted at him

"I'm not that strong Mist I can barley hold him like this!" Zavier strained while he spoke and started to walk out of the bush towards the house with the man's feet dragging

"Are you ok?" Mist asked

"Bit strained but you know I'll be fine" Zavier joked, Mist looked at him crossly

"Not you! The Man!"

"Well why you asking him he can barely speak!"

"Because I thought I would be polite and you know as he is bleeding like a sieve and all your doing to holding him up its kinda obvious whose worse off!" Mist shouted back, Zavier managed to get him to Mist's house and onto her bed, all the floors and bed were covered in sheets to try to keep the room clean. Mist had a bowl of warm water and a cloth at the side of the bed.

"...What....do you want...me...to do...?" Zavier puffed and panted at her squatting down towards the floor with his hands on his knees

"I thought you were the adventure that could conquer any cave?" Mist asked him tightening up her bow his head shot up

"I am!" he responded

"Your puffin and panting like you just moved an elephant a mile when all you did was lift and carry a man from a bush not even 20 meters away to a bed." Mist mocked him

"Hey he's not as light as a feather you know he almost weighs the same as my sword!" Zavier replied back trying to sound strong and fearless boasting about a sword.

"Well you better get a lighter sword cause if he weighs as much as your sword how you going to lift it to fight, actually how you going to get to the caves from the Inn carrying it to go and fight!" She mocked again. Zavier wasn't impressed by the comment that she was making, while he sat on the floor trying to look unimpressed at her, Mist was dampening the cloth with the warm water and started to place it onto the man's wounds to try and clear up the blood to see the state of his injuries. "I know what I'm doing from here on out, thanks for your help Zavier. Did Cecilia say about him to anyone else?"

"No she came running up to me and started chattering on about a sleeping guy in a bush and you helping him I think Nicolas might of been there but he would of been the only one to of heard. Well I'm gonna get off you know an adventurer like me can't be in the same place to long if you need me you know where to find me." Zavier said finally catching his breath again standing up.

"Well I don't but thanks, oh please don't tell anyone in the town about him I want to make him well enough before other people know so please don't say." Mist looked over at him with a pleading look, looking straight into his eyes and started to batter her eyes like Bambi to make her look and have an irresistible charm towards him.

"You know how to play me don't you." Zavier laugh nervously "Yeh no worries I'll keep your secret I'm off cya later Mist...and man" Zavier walked out and closed the door behind him.

Mist's attention was then paid fully to the man, she cleaned off most of the dry blood that was on his skin and tried to clean the wounds that were still bleeding out. After each wash with her cloth she rinsed it in the bowl of warm water but after the first couple of rinses the colour was a deep red. She had to change the water frequently but by the time she came back it was almost as bad as before she left. Eventually when the bleeding began to stop or at least slow down, Mist put down her 4th cloth as the others were dyed red from the blood and picked up medicine herbs and bottles to try to heal the wounds.

"This may sting ok?" Mist softly spoke trying to hide how nervous she was feeling, the man didn't respond he lay there with his eyes shut and his brown hair covering them she applied the medicine herbs onto his wounds then placed her hand on the top and muttered a healing spell her hand began to glow green over the medicine herb speeding up the process of healing the man. It took over 3 hours of constant healing before Mist could finally stop, the man was still unconscious but he was breathing. She gently stroked her brown hair away from his eyes, he's hair was just below his ears but it was thick and his fringe swept over his eye. Mist left the man still lying on her bed and walked into her kitchen/dining room, being a little cottage house it was it only had two rooms which where her bedroom and Kitchen/dining room. She fell into her comfy chair in the corner with her fire down low she managed to drift off to sleep curled up on the chair.

When morning broke the sun shone through the window waking up Mist, she stretched up making a groaning noise she went to get up and noticed a blanket was on her and the fire was turned off.

"I don't remember turning the fire off...and I didn't have a blanket when I fell asleep I'm sure of it" Mist thought very confused on what was going on she noticed that the sheets she had placed on the floor yesterday some were in the bucket on the floor with water in and some where folded up on the table looking out the window she saw a few others on her little washing line outside blowing in the wind. "What the..." Mist thought out loud, when her questions were then answered when the man from yesterday walked in holding the bowl of water she was using and tips it down the sink then placing the bowl on the side.

"Your awake?" Mist exclaimed making the man jump but then clenching to his side. "Oh Sorry!" She ran over and held her hand over his. "Sorry for making you jump I just wasn't expecting you up."

"It's ok...I'm really sorry but I don't remember you name." The man asked her softly trying to laugh while still in pain.

"I didn't tell you my name you were in and out of consciousness so much that I doubt you would have heard me anyway." She giggled "My name is Mist. I hope you feeling better this morning, you didn't have to do all of this you should be resting and making yourself better."

"I was in and out of consciousness...why?" The man asked her puzzled

"I was hoping you'd tell me finding you in a bush in that state really scared me are you a warrior or something?" Mist asked curiously

"Bush?...State?...Warrior?..." the man repeated looking more puzzled, Mist looked at his face.

"...Don't you remember how you got hurt?" Mist asked him

"I...I...I don't remember...anything..." He replied looking at her he's blue eyes were darker than hers, his were most like the ocean whilst hers were like a spring clear river.

"You don't remember anything?!" She exclaimed "Yesterday do you remember me looking after you and Zavier dragging you to my house?" The man thought long and hard for a few minutes.

"No...I don't remember any of that..." He replied to her he walked over and sat down at the table, Mist then came over and sat next to him.

"Well what about before all this where did you come from?" Mist asked him again he thought very hard

"I don't remember..." He replied again looking more confused Mist was beginning to get worried

"You have to remember your name at least" Mist said positively, again the man looked again and thought his face changed to a very worried look along with a confusion expression.

"...No...I don't...I don't remember anything...last this I remember is waking up this morning in pain...but that's it..." The man looked down into his lap, Mist was confused herself, waking up one morning and remember nothing what could that be like. She was about to ask him when her front door swung open and another man walked inside.
