Author's notes: Hey guys. So I've been thinking of this idea for awhile now and I finally decided to write it. It's my first Rune Factory Fic, so I'm super excited. Pretty much this is the Rune Factory Frontier characters and world design but pretend that everything that happened within the storyline of the actual game, didn't happen. Oh and just a small warning, this story may change rating from K+ to T.. not too sure yet.. just so you're all aware. Now, without further adieu, the first chapter! :]

Disclaimer: I don't own Rune Factory or Raguna or any of the characters that are from Rune Factory.

Chapter 1

My life can only be described as pieces; shining and intricate. They were once a whole, something that made up who I was, what I lived for... But that whole, became nothing more than shattered pieces... lost in an abyss of complex nothingness. I lost everything; my entire memory.

He didn't know who he was or where he came from. All he knew was the he was cold, hungry and lingering on the edge of life. He had woken up, blanketed in snow, in a deep forest of huge trees and couldn't remember anything, where he lived, how he had gotten in the forest. He didn't even know his own name. He felt completely lost and alone.

After lifting himself up, as he tried to brush the cold snow off of him but he found that his muscles were stiff and unresponsive. Looking around he saw that it was getting close to twilight and the air was getting cooler. If he didn't find a warm place before nightfall, he would probably freeze to death. He staggered off through the trees, only guessing at which direction to take.

After what seemed like hours, and the sun had dipped down over the trees, he noticed the forest starting to thin out. He felt relief wash over him and he quickened his step. But when he finally broke from the forest he came face to face with a huge rock wall. It was a dead end, nothing was there.. and he knew; he was going to die.

"Are you okay? Answer me! What's you're name?" He felt a pressure on his shoulders as his body was being lightly shaken. He tried to open his eyes but they felt like lead. He groaned. "He's alive!"

"Of course he's alive you idiot, he was breathing," another voice retorted.

"Oh shut up, Noire. You know what I mean. He's kinda cute, huh? Think he's from around here?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask him? Honestly. I'm going home."

"What, you aren't going to help me bring him in?" That's when he blacked out again.

"Heeelllooo? Wake up, you need to eat, you're not looking so good," the same sweet voice form before woke him again. This time he felt something cold on his mouth, metal maybe? "Open," the voice demanded. He opened his mouth and food was shovelled in. And this food tasted amazing, maybe because he hadn't eaten in such a long time, or maybe because he had never tasted food that was this good. Then again, he didn't even remember eating a single meal in his life.. because he didn't remember anything in his life.

He opened his eyes to see a small girl with short blond hair and two different coloured eyes; one red, one green. "Hello," she said with a smile. "What is your name?" He tried to sit up but quickly gave up when he found himself coffined into what looked like 10 blankets, 3 sheets and 7 pillows.

"Um... I don't know? I forget." He didn't know what to say, it must sound pretty weird to her that he didn't even know his own name. But instead she giggled.

"Well, I'm sure you will remember. My name is Iris, pleased to meet you, guy with no name." She leapt up off the bed he was laying on and handed him the plate of food. "Eat the rest of this, I'm sure it'll help. I have to go out for a bit before it get's light but if you need anything, Iris will be here. Just call for her."

"But isn't tha-" He didn't get to finish before she was out the door and gone. 'Hmm? Wasn't Iris her name? Why did she say to ask Iris if I needed something?' The boy thought. He quickly dismissed it, thinking that he must not have heard her right, or maybe forgot what she said her name was. After getting into a better position within the blankets he ate his food in silence, wondering if it was the blond girl who had made it.

"Well isn't that interesting, someone who actually can stand Blanche's cooking. I'm impressed." The boy looked over to see Iris standing at the door of the room he was in, except that it wasn't Iris. This girl looked just like Iris though.. he wondered what was it that made him feel that this was a different person. It might have been that her hair was more of a silver, and her clothes were different; darker. He swallowed a particularly orange steamed carrot before asking who she was.

"My name is Iris. And I might ask you the same question?"

"Well, I already told.. the uhh.. other one.. that I don't remember my name." He was sure that the blond said that her name was Iris, but then again his brain was currently going though huge malfunctions. Possibly it was something different.

"Well, you can't have that. What if you never remember? No, how about I make one for you?"

"Well, I guess. You have to call me something. Just until I remember."

"Sure. Okay well..." Iris thought for a moment, "I once heard of someone with the name Raguna, I really like that. What do you think?"

"Sure, why not," the boy said, "Raguna's a nice name."

Raguna slept for three straight days after the meal. When he awoke his whole body was dripping with sweat from all the pillows and blankets. To make things worse the sun was shinning directly onto him from the window by his bed. He called for someone to help and struggled for a good twenty minuets before he finally became untangled from everything. He swam through his bed and floated down the side of the cascading sheets, onto the floor. "awh man, just getting out of my bed was like an entire adventure." he muttered to himself.

The door squeaked open and Raguna heard something mumble tiredly from the ground. "What are you doing up at this hour, and what's with all the racket, some people are trying to sleep, you know."

"Uh, what are you doing on the floor and what are you talking about, the sun is right there. I mean people usually are up at this hour?"

"Oh, right. Human. Got it. I'm going back to bed now." Raguna watched as the dark mass wiggled it's way back across the floor. Strange.

Raguna wandered around the house a bit and before he decided he would go poke around outside. He thought that maybe he would find something that would help him remember something.

He wandered around for while inspecting the surroundings. It wasn't like anything he had ever seen before. It was like he was walking through clouds and somehow all of the snow from last night was gone. Soon Raguna came to a cliff edge and he peered over. What he saw almost made him fall over in shock. It was like he was looking up into the sky, only he was looking down. Then he realized that what he was seeing was not the sky, but actually land. But he was on land, how could he be floating above another land mass? Raguna started to become dizzy, this all just didn't make sense. As he backed away from the ledge, it struck him, 'oh god, I'm dead..'

YAY, first Chapter! And that was actually SO much fun to write, I'm excited for more. I know it's pretty short, but it's the first chapter and I want to see if people like it. I also wrote part of another chapter (not sure which one it will be yet, maybe chapter 3 maybe 4.. we'll see) but it is sorta the main part of my original idea and I can't wait for it. But anyway..

Please review and tell me what you thought of this first chapter! I love reviews, so don't be shy. ;)

Thank you all. Lot's of love.
