Hi! This is Kiminochi! Well, I'm new here so please excuse the bad grammar and suckish writing skills. Anyway, enjoy my new fic Rune Factory: Sōzō Nōjō. I really like this game and I'll keep the characters' attitude the same as the game. Enjoy! XP

In the Far Eastern Region Kingdom of Norad, in the outskirts of the town called Kardia, There was a man in weird foreign clothing, unruly dark chestnut hair, and peachy pink skin but it was unusually pale now. He hasn't been eating or drinking in days now and it was really doubtful that he ever had a break from his long journey. But as he stopped by a cozy looking house and stood there. He tried to go on to walk further, but was unable to.
"Ugh. . . Hah. . . I don't think. . . I can go on . . . much further. . ." the young man said. Then he fainted right there on the spot. At the same moment he had fainted, a girl had come out from the house and went towards the young man.
"Are you okay? Wow, I've never seen anyone on the verge of collapsing before! It's a shock to me!" The girl said.
The girl looked very young and she had very yellowish/whitish hair and had a very silky ribbon to tie it all up.
The young man tried his hardest to get up and tried to stand as long as possible. "Well. . . I've been walking . . . for days . . . without food or water." He replied. The girl had a shocked and concerned look on her face.
"Ooh! That's not any way as healthy! Just wait a sec and I'll be right back!" the girl cried out and ran quickly into the house. Inside the house, the young man could hear the sound of items being thrown inside the house. Even a scream could be heard. 'Is she okay in there?' the young man thought.
The girl quickly came out as quickly as she came in. But she was holding a hoe. "Ta Da! I found it! You can have my hoe! I'm not actually using it, so you can have it!" the girl said and handed it to him.
He hesitated at first and then took it to plow the ground. "Actually. . . I was hoping for some water. . ."he replied.
Somehow the girl understood. "Right! I'll get right on to that!" she replied and went back to the house. The sound of clatter was heard again. 'I hope she'll get me some water.' He thought.
The girl came out with a watering can this time and gave it to him. "You can use my watering can then!" she said and gave it to him.
He used it and watered the ground he had just plowed before. The young man sweatdropped and he felt a bit puzzled. "The young girl noticed this and asked him, "Is there something else that you need?"she asked.
"Um. . . I was kinda . . . hoping for . . . was drinking water." he replied. The girl understood and conked her head at her dumb mistake. "Oh, duh! Sorry! It's the way that you look makes me think that you needed a hoe and a watering can!" The girl blabbed on.
"Ah . . ." The young man said confusingly. The girl understood him and said, "Oh Yeah! Be right back!"she said and went to her house for the third time. She came back with some nice looking bread and some plain bread.
"Here you go!"She said. He accepted it thankfully and ate the bread slowly and drinking the water in mouth sized gulps.
"Thank you, you saved my life. I'm in debt to you."The young man replied. "Oh, it's nothing at all! But . . . you're not from around here are you? Are you on a trip perhaps?"she asked. He shook his head. "Actually to be honest . . . I don't know myself." he said. Giving a saddening look to the girl.
She was really confused. "What do you mean by that?" she asked. Puzzled of what he is telling her. "I don't remember where I was before I came here . . . I don't even know myself either . . ." The young man admitted. The girl had an understanding, but curious look on her face.
"You mean . . . you have amnesia?" she asked. "Maybe . . ."he replied. Still a little sad that he has no memory of anything at all.
"Do you have a name?" The girl asked. The young man thought a while. He shook his head. "I don't even remember my name." he replied. "Well, everyone needs a name! Or I'll have to start calling you Mr. Mysterious Man!"she said happily. "That's true. I'll think of one." The young man said.
The name Raguna slipped out of his tongue and Mist heard it. "Raguna? I like it! It's the perfect name for you!"she exclaimed. "Well, thank you for thinking so. By the way, What's your name?" Raguna asked.
The girl smiled. "My name's Mist. So where will you be staying? Since you're new here, you probably don't have a place to stay at all."Mist said.
Raguna wondered. "Well, I was hoping to find an inhabited town to stay . . . But I haven't thought past that part yet." He replied. Mist thought a moment and snapped her fingers to express that she had a great idea just now.
"How about you stay here? I have an empty house and a field that you can use." Mist said. However, Raguna was shocked that they had only met and she's offering a house and field to him.
Mist waited patiently for his answer, but Raguna denied her offer. "I don't know what to say . . . But I possibly can't accept . . ."Raguna was cut of by Mist. "Don't be silly! I'm not using it anyway! And like I said before, I think you're a capable guy Raguna!"
Raguna was a bit uneasy about this. "Do you really think I have what it takes to run a farm?"Raguna asked questionably. Now Mist felt uneasy. "Well . . . I think you have talent . . ." Mist replied but not with that much enthusiasm as before.
Raguna on the other hand felt a little overwhelming. "This is going to be fun!" Mist exclaimed. She locked her door and took Raguna by the hand. "Come on! The farm and field are up north!" Mist said and dragged him to there.
When they got there, there was a simple looking farm and a messy field. "This is my house and field. What do you think? Not to bad right?" Mist said. Mist then went toward the fields. "I haven't been working on the fields as much, so it's overgrown." Mist said.
Mist faced Raguna. "But don't worry about that. I have all the help that I need right in front of me." Mist said. "B-but . . ." Raguna stuttered. Mist smiled and went to have a better look at her fields.
Then a flash appeared and a monster then appeared. A creature with a club had appeared and started to go towards Mist and attack her. "What?" Mist exclaimed. Worried for Mist's sake, he quickly called Mist to go behind him and he'll take care of it.
"Mist! Stay behind me and step back!" Raguna ordered her. Mist quickly followed his directions and hid behind him. 'How am I supposed to do this? I can't fight.' Raguna thought. He quickly asked Mist for a tool.
"Use the hoe! Attack him but don't get hurt okay?" Mist said. Raguna nodded and began to attack him. The creature hit him one time, while Raguna hit the creature three times to actually kill it.
He went to Mist to see if she was all right. "Mist! Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" Raguna asked. Mist nodded. Raguna sighed in relief. But then he looked where the creature had once stood. "But I think I killed it though." Raguna said sadly feeling sorry for the creature that didn't have any right to die like that.
Mist told him it didn't actually got killed but is sent to its original place called, the First Forest. He had a special magic that used the spell Retornen. They aren't dead but they are still alive.
"But enough of that, You save me Raguna! I really owe you! So as a token of my gratitude, I'm letting you stay here and work on the farm!" Mist said. Raguna was still unsure what to say. "But, I can't do that." Raguna replied. "I insist that you do. You helped me, now I help you. I want to do something for you too."Mist said.
All he could say was yes. 'There's no point fighting with her.' Raguna thought. "Great! Now I'll start you with a bag of radish seeds." Mist said and gave him the bag of seeds. There were 5 bags of them!
"I'm guessing you really like radishes . . ." Raguna replied as he sweatdropped. Mist nodded and she kept on rambling on her precious radishes. Then she left Raguna so he could start on his work.
"Bye Raguna! Next time I see you, you better not be goofing off!" Mist yelled out to him. "Don't worry! I won't!" He replied. She waved bye and he waved back. He looked at the bags of seeds he wax carrying.
"Maybe I can find my memory back if I help out Mist."Raguna said to himself. He looked up to the vast blue sky. "Thank you Mist."He said as he went to go inside his new house.

Raguna was surprised and confused. "What do you mean by 'suckered'?" Raguna asked.
