Disclaimer: I own many things but Rune Factory isn't one of them.

A/N: This next chapter is about Raguna meeting the townsfolk(well most of them). Sorry by the way I will be changing how he gets certain tools like the axe, hammer and sickle to spice things up a bit. Oh and Raguna will get the pass to Carmite Cave already which is the first cave and I'll be changing the requirements for getting the future cave passes cuz I mean sorry but you know Raguna doesn't exactly till squares here.

Thnx to Oomingmak by the way for the review.

When Raguna woke up the next morning feeling absolutely relaxed. He smiled as he hugged the nearest pillow. He was finally in a bed after days or weeks of travel he wasn't sure. Discarding the pillow and sitting up he recalled what happened the day before. A nice girl named Mist saved his life and gave him a new job and home. But the thing that confused him the most was the fight with the dragon. Somehow for some reason he knew how to fight. Pretty well he might add. He knew the moment he gripped the hoe and faced the beast, that the creature was hopelessly outmatched. The thing was how did he know?

'Raguna!' Mist called from outside 'Wake up now. You have a lot of work to do.'

Shaking the thought away he went outside. 'Yes Mist' Raguna said

'Here let me tell you how to farm' Then Mist began her lecture about the various methods of farming

'Alright that's all' She finished 'you should go and meet the townsfolk and introduce yourself'

'Okay' Raguna replied as he set off to town.

First he went to the beach where he met a cheerful woman named Sabrina.

'Hello there new neighbor' Sabrina said 'My names Sabrina Mist told me about you Raguna right?'

'Yes'

'Well tell me Raguna do you like fishing?'

'I don't know'

'Oh yeah Mist mentioned something about memory loss' She said 'here take this pole fishing is something really worth trying'

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Then he tried going to the Smithy the Inn and the bar but all were closed.

So he skipped those and visited the clinic.

'Hello' said a tall brown haired bearded man 'You are the new guy with missing memories nice to meet you. The names Edward. This is my assistant Lara.'

'Nice to meet you' said Lara

'You too' replied Raguna

Next he went to the market where he met Jean and girl named Rosetta

'Hello sir the names Jean' Said Jean 'This is my daughter Rosetta'

'So you're the guy who Mist lured in and the guy who pummeled a dragon close to death' said Rosetta

'Yeah thats me but I didn't kill it you know' Replied Raguna

'I know but you look one of those slay a dragon to save a princess type of guys'

'I don't know about the slay part but it seems saving princesses is a lot easier. So if you need help just ask'

Although Raguna meant he would help her if when he could to be friendly. Rosetta thought he was calling her a princess. She blushed a deep red and before she could say anything a cheery voice was heard.

'ROSETTA MY LOVE YOUR ONE TRUE LOVE LUCAS IS HERE!' called the town poet Lucas 'Seeing you so flushed just with me entering brings my heart to tears of joy!'

Then Roseeta's red face became anger and she picked up a sickle and attacked the poet 'SHUT UP YOU FREAK!! I WAS NOT BLUSHING!!! AND YOU! ARE! NOT! MY! ONE TRUE LOVE!'

'goodbye. I gotta go' Said Lucas then he glanced at Raguna 'Hey new guy! Me and some buddies are having some drinks tonight wanna join us?'

'Okay. Sounds good' Raguna replied

'Great! See you at the bar!' he said as dodged the sickle and exited the store

Then Jean grabbed the sickle from the girl's hands

'Can you please not do that again?' He scolded. Then he looked at Raguna and said 'Here take the sickle Rosetta's been using it to terrorize Lucas since he got to this town. I feel it'll be less dangerous in your hands'

'Thank you' he thanked cheerfully

'Use it to cut up the fool when you see him next time!' Shouted Rosetta

After the alarming encounter with Rosetta he went to the Library where he met Russell and his assistant Tori

'Hello there Raguna I am Russell and this is Tori'

'You really have amnesia. That's an amazing theme in most books amnesia' Tori said

'Uh thank you' Replied Raguna

'Well I hope you like books' Russell said 'please look around'

As he looked around Tori folowed him every step of the way. Until he saw small shelf of books that appeared to be unused. 'What are these?' he asked

'Spell books no one ever uses them because only a few people in town can cast spells. Plus not everyone can read the runes and it's quite complicated to learn' Tori answered

He picked up a book that was red and bore the symbol of flame on it. For some reason he could read it.

'Orb of flame come and burn my foe!' Raguna said

Suddenly a ball of fire appeared and hit the window.

'Oh dear!' shouted Tori

'Amazing!' Russel said 'You can read the runes and cast the spells. But you're amnesia how is this possible?'

'I don't know' Raguna replied

'Oh well you'll remember eventually'

'Um I'll go now'

'Oh I see good bye then'

'Come to think of it. He looks a lot like that man. Could it be? No it can't be their personalities are opposites of each other. Even amnesia can't go that far to alter and change one's personality.'Thought Russel as Raguna left.

Afterwards he went to a store that belonged to man named Neumann. A girl who Neumann told him was the Mayor's daughter, a girl named Felicity, was there.

'Hello there kiddo!' the tall man greeted

'Yes hello' Felicity greeted weakly

Her weak voice, pale skin and tired appearance made Raguna suspect she was ill. 'Umm are you okay' Raguna asked

'I'm fine' She replied 'I've always been like this but that won't stop me from helping the town any way a can'

He then tried the bath house which was closed. He really wanted bath as he had gone days without one and his home didn't have it's own. Then he tried the store owned by the Doctor's son, Camus.

'Hi there new guy' Camus greeted 'Lucas said you're drinking with us tonight. How old are you though?

'I'm not sure. But I found this date tattooed on my back look' Raguna replied

Taking off his shirt Raguna showed him a tattoo on the top part of his back, between his shoulders. The tattoo looked like this.

6/6/666 #6

'How did you find it?' Camus asked curiously

'I saw the reflection on my back in the stream'

'Well if that really is a date and I'm pretty sure that is' Camus said 'You're 21 years old. But the #6 part makes no sense and the all the fact that it's all sixes creeps me out. You better not show that to anyone except maybe me, Lucas and Zavier. Us men gotta stick together.'

'Whats wrong with all 6' Raguna asked

'People say 666666 is the number of the demon that defied the gods' Camus explained

'Oh well gotta look around some more and greet everybody' Raguna said

'Okay bye see you tonight buddy' Camus said

Well after discovering he had the number of a demon inked into his back he was reluctant to enter his next destination. That's right a church. He entered the church inch by inch and looked at the altar feeling no burning pain he decided it was safe to enter. As he walked in he went closer to the altar feeling the need to experiment more. He touched the altar and did not feel a thing as he was about to take his hand away a voice surprised him.

'Deep in prayer I see. Greetings Raguna. News travels fast in this small town I am Wesley.' A priest said

'No sorry sir but I wasn't praying' Raguna replied

'Really I see' Wesley said calmly

'Well I have to go now bye'

'Yes enjoy your stay in Kardia'

As Raguna left Wesley thought to himself 'I sense strange energies coming from that man. Whether it is for good or evil I know not.'

Next Raguna went to a large mansion he would've skipped this if a maid named Tabitha hadn't greeted him. Inside he met her Master Jasper who was a friendly and jolly man. He had to admit for a rich man he was pretty nice. Jasper was respectful even to a poor man like him. The main thing you noticed from Jasper he was very, very, fat. No disrespect of course but the man liked food (he said it himself).

His daughter on the other hand was the opposite. She hated the town, was skinny mean and very unfriendly. But unknowingly Raguna had been able to peak her interest.

'So do you like the town?' Raguna asked trying to start a conversation

'No' she said sharply

'Do you have any friends around?'

'No'

'Well I'll be your friend' Raguna said

'What?' she asked surprised

'I know what its like having no one to talk to' Raguna 'Money can get you lots of things but not friendship. So I'll visit from time to time so you have someone to talk to'

All she did was look at him astounded. Then he shot a smile at her which caused her to blush.

The ever oblivious Raguna left without noticing the blush. 'I have to go now bye'

Before she could say anything Raguna exited the house.

'That man is very interesting. I bet Mistress will enjoy his company.' The maid Tabitha thought 'And maybe so will I.'

Raguna decided to enter the plaza for awhile to see if ayone was there.

That was when he saw two children playing. They each looked to be about 8 years old.

'Come to think of it I haven't seen much children around lately' Raguna thought as he ran over to greet them.

The boy with blue hair spotted him first. 'Probably Sabrina's son.' thought Raguna

'Hi. I'm Nicholas you're that Raguna guy everybody's talking about.' Nicholas said 'This is Cecilia'

'Call me Ceci' Cecilia said

'Gold hair and pointed ears. What kind of girl is this' Thought Raguna

'Who are your parents?' Raguna asked

'My mommy is Sabrina' said Nicholas

'My daddy is Russel' said Ceci

'What about your other parents?' Asked Raguna

Both children looked confused not knowing what to say.

'You mean to tell me you don't know who your other parent are?' Raguna asked

'Many children are like that in this town. Most only have one parent left' Said a voice behind him

Raguna turned to see a man with grayish hair 'Hello Raguna my name is Godwin. I am the Mayor of this town. Come with me to my office let us talk'

They both walked into a large home not as large as Jasper's but still pretty big.

'A a few years ago we lived between Sechs and Norad Border. We lived a peaceful life until They came.'

'They?'

'The Sechs didn't want farmers on their border. So they attacked and killed many people. This town was once large and had so many people. Now there are children without mothers. The soldiers attacked the towns while the men fought against the other soldiers. Most of the men survived. But the women and children were helpless. Some survived so we moved further from the border but we couldn't go far because this was and still is our home and lands.'

'I see' Raguna said solemnly

'Well anyway let's not trouble about the past and think about the present and the future. Here take this pass to Carmite cave.'

'Thank you sir'

'I heard of your fighting skills. You will be fine but you better buy a sword from Leo first' Godwin said 'Well its getting late goodbye now'

Leaving the home Raguna headed to the Pub to meet up with Camus and Lucas.
