This is probably one of the worst ideas I've had so far. It's reckless, and dangerous enough that if I screw up, I'll suffer extreme bodily harm or even die. I don't usually do things like this, since I prefer all my internal organs in the condition they're in right now: undamaged and not splattered all over the place. However, this is my only chance at getting out of here, so I don't have any choice but to go forward with it. I took a deep breath to calm myself, checked the straps on my pack, and then leapt off the roof.
I've probably started my story a little too far ahead. Let me rewind a bit. My name is Jaune Arc. At least, that's what I've been told. The truth is, I can't really remember my past, because of my amnesia.
The earliest point of my life that I can recall is waking up on this huge throne in the middle of a white room. I remember slowly gaining consciousness as if I just woke up from a deep sleep. I opened my eyes and looked around. There were these strange symbols on the walls, but other than the symbols and the throne, the room was empty. I didn't really think much about it, because I had more pressing questions. Namely, what was I doing here and more importantly, who was I? There must have been some sort of alarm that went off, because not long after I asked myself these questions, some old guy and a man rushed into the room, followed by a woman who calmly walked in. I later learned that the old guy was called Master Verum. The man who came in with him, who introduced himself as Nocte, told me this. He also told me that the woman's name was Cinder, since she didn't introduce herself as Nocte did.
My memory comes up blank whenever I try to remember anything before my arrival here in the Land of Departure. I've asked Master Verum about it, and he told me that at some point in the past I experienced something traumatic enough to cause my amnesia. He didn't tell me the specific details though. He probably knows what happened, but doesn't want to tell me, for some reason. He refused to talk further about the subject, so I stopped asking. Master Verum doesn't tell me a lot anyway, so that didn't put me off a lot. Not knowing anything about where I come from kind of sucks though.
Recently, I've been living in this old castle that Master Verum owns. It's got a library, a huge kitchen, and everything else a castle is supposed to have. I haven't explored it much since the time I got lost trying to find my way to the kitchen. My sense of direction is abysmal, as Nocte told me when he found me sitting against a wall in one of the hallways. I didn't feel like going through a repeat of that experience, so I held off on explorations of the castle.
That's changed now. Due to recent events, I've decided that I need to get out of here. I need to find Nocte and Cinder, but more importantly, I need to find out what happened to me in the past. I'll never achieve these goals by remaining here. I have to escape.
