Lincoln: I must say, this town is incredibly beautiful.

Lincoln was currently walking along the boardwalk with the other Loud's on their way home.

Royal Woods looked amazing if a bit odd for some odd reason. The yellow sky caught his eye as it seemed to clash with the light blue of the sparkling ocean giving him an odd feeling. Like it wasn't supposed to look like this but it was so nice to look at.

Lucy: Is something wrong, Brother?

Lincoln: Huh? Oh.. Nothing's wrong. It's just.. i'm getting an odd feeling from this place.

Luan: That's what a lot of people say. Royal Woods is famous for being such an enigma in to the rest of the world. There's a ton of odd phenomenon recorded here and odd dangerous creatures we thankfully don't have to deal with.

Lincoln: Creatures?

Lana: Yeah! We have a ton of cool stuff in our large forest! The only bad thing is that the forest kinda blocks people from leaving town easily since Royal Woods is located on a point looking area on the continent.

Lucy: The only other way to get around the forest is by taking a boat and even so it's still dangerous due to what's in the water.

Lincoln shivered at Lucy's answer.

Lincoln: So this place isn't very safe?

Rita: Sad to say but yes. In a place like this, survival is key. Thankfully, the town here is pretty safe as the creatures outside don't go to populated areas.

Lana: Which is odd since no one here has any kinds of weapons of any kind. It's like they don't want to come to the town for some reason.

Lincoln: Odd. Well at least you don't have to deal with them, right?

They all went silent, making Lincoln gulp in fear.

Luan: Yeah about that.. We live outside of the town about five minutes outside of it.

Lincoln titled his head in confusion. Why would they live outside a safe area in a place that could be dangerous to them because of the creatures that live there? Lucy then spoke up like she had read his mind.

Lucy: We're very distant from the town since they.. treat us as outsiders. We're very different than what they would prefer in a normal peaceful life. Ironic since we help provide them with a food source with our farm.

Lincoln: A farm you say?

Lana: Yeah! We have a cool giant farm with tons of tasty plants of veggies! I'll have to show you it! You'll love what you'll be able to eat alone! But when you cook something, it's just delicious! So many pot pies, cakes, casseroles and so much more!

Luan: Hahaha! With the amount of food you eat, i'm surprised Lola is that fatter twin.

Lana: Well unlike her, I only eat healthy stuff that comes from the garden. She eats way too much sweets and cake. Lola is kinda like a spoiled princess in a way.

Lincoln: Wait.. You have a twin?

Rita: *sigh.. You sure do have a lot to remember. You've only met three of your siblings. You have seven left.

Lincoln: T-ten!? I have.. ten sisters?! Me included equals to eleven total kids! How on earth did you have so many?!

Rita: Pfft.. You have no idea how many times i'm asked about that. And it sure was a journey I'll tell you that.

Lincoln: And.. do I have a father?

Everyone suddenly went silent like something died. Lincoln gave them a nervous look, thinking he might have talked about a sour spot in the family.

Lincoln: Uhh.. Are you.. all right?

Rita: *Sigh.. Yeah. He's on... a business trip is all. Nothing else.

Lincoln nodded and played along. There something obviously wrong in that department but now would not be the best time to bring it up, if ever. Maybe he should get to know more about them than just their names before he started asking personal questions.

Luan: Well uhh.. How are you liking this place, Lincoln? Is it enjoyable so far?

Lincoln: I must say I am enjoying this! The place is really nice to look at and it gives off a.. familiar feel.

The sisters looked at each other with happy looks. Each second was a step closer to getting his memories back and it might be working!

A few minutes later, Lana took them through a short cut to avoid having to pass through sand worm territory which confused Lincoln.

Lincoln: Uhh.. Lana, while this short cut is nice.. what is a sand worm?

Lana: A sand worm? Only the meanest and most terrifying things that live in the sand! They live in desert and beaches but this part of the world is where most of the population is due to the large beaches.

Lucy: They're hard to kill since they're too quick to even be attacked before they sink back in the ground. We've just given up and just take alternate paths. The only time the worms really are a problem is when one tried to steal from our garden.

Luan: Thankfully, Lana gives them a Fruit Punch if you know what i'm saying! Hehehehehe!!

Everyone groaned at that joke while Lincoln gave a small chuckle, making Luan smile. Eventually, they came across a rocky wall with many holes and sharp shiny rocks in it, making it a sight to behold.

Lincoln: Whoa... Royal Woods is just brimming with spectacular sights to see. It's just a simple rock wall but... The shiny gems and rocks just make it so hypnotizing..

Luan: That's because it's a scrat nest.

Lincoln: Scrat wha-GAH!!!

Lincoln fell back in shock as a tiny rat like creature poked it's dirty head out of one of the holes and hissed at Lincoln. Looks like he got a little too close. He quickly got up and stared at the odd thing with curiosity.

Lincoln: What.. Is that?

Lana: That's a scrat! It's a species of rat that usually come from high mountains, caves and mostly underground places. They're moreaggressive than a common rat as they will rip and tear their prey to shreds.

Lana then picked the creature calmly without fear in her eyes.

Lana: But if you don't show fear and give them a shiny thing, they'll be friendly as they love decorating their nests with tons of goodies!

Lincoln quickly got up and looked at the scrat and gave it a closer look.

It was about the size of Lana's hands but it managed to fit in snuggly as if it has more fat than bone. It's fur was grey with a few white hairs going along it's back signaling it must be pretty old. It's red eyes looked at Lincoln with a glare as if telling the man to back off while showing it's sizable mouth full of white, razor sharp teeth. What else was odd about it as that it's long pink tail had some sharp spikes at the end of it. It even looked like it could break open tiny rocks if used hard enough.

Lincoln: Such an odd thing..

Rita: That's what many people from other countries say about the creatures that live here. Some say they aren't even animals but monsters which is sadly kind of true in most cases. Luckily, we've made our own way of combating these things but it sadly has driven away a lot of tourists. The town get's kind of lonely every now and then.

Lincoln: Oh dear. Well hopefully things might change one day?

They all just kind of shrugged at that and continued their walk. They got to the end of the path, leading to a sandy beach with palm trees and a large house. It wasn't a huge wood mansion but a large beach mansion with many open windows on the first floor while the two upper floors seemed to be more private, most likely housing the bedrooms and such.

Lincoln: Oh my... it's gorgeous! Is this where we live?

Rita: Yep! It's a sight you must see. So Lincoln, get ready to meet the rest of your siblings. Get ready to meet, The Loud House.
