Part 1
When Everything Begins
Lore woke up having nightmares of the end of the world. She couldn't protect the ones that she loved. There was nothing she could do. Lore would wake up with these dreams every night for a long time. Fifty years long.
All she knows is that fifty years ago, something happened that affected her memory. The last thing she remembered was waking up somewhere and not being able to recall any events beforehand. So Lore had been living off the land alone and confused, occasionally finding a place to stay, then moving on. This has gone on for fifty years. But even stranger is the fact that Lore still is a beautiful young woman in her mid-20s. She has no idea why she hasn't aged after all these years, leading her to believe that she may be some sort of freak of nature.
But adding even more to the mystery behind this wanderer, is a symbol she bears on her right hand. Lore doesn't remember where it came from or exactly what it is. All she knows is that it grants her magic abilities which, she has been using to keep herself alive during her travels as she seeks to find her missing past.
Lore has recently settled in the mountain village of Caleria where many people don't like her. Lore has been fighting the monsters in the area in order to get stronger so she can soon continue her journey to find the truth. But one day, she encountered a monster that she hadn't fought before. For some reason, something went wrong and her magic wasn't working.
Lore didn't want to give up, but then her head started to pound like when she had one of those nightmares. The pain became unbearable. Lore was on the ground totally immobilized and the monster was about to strike at her. She thought she was about to die. But suddenly, there was a quick of gust of wind and the monster was gone and Lore felt quite a strange power around her. She didn't know what just occurred, but before she could figure out what it was, Lore felt weak and she passed out.
Thus our story begins.
