As the boy walked through the forest he curiously looked around. 'This place looks amazing I wonder how I got here or even why I would just appear in this place', he thought as he hopped over the tree roots and leaped across small streams. The boy stopped due to a huge tree in the distance filled with ripe fruit about 20 or so which look like golden apples but about half the size,'wow those fruits smell delicious' he thought as his stomach rumbled in dissatisfaction.

  'I am so hungry I need to get up that tree and take that' "FRUIT", he screamed not realizing that he had spoken aloud as he dashed crazily towards the tree trunk gazing at the fruit as a wolf would look at prey. As he reached the tree he vaulted up to the nearest tree branch like an Olympic gymnast while using all the small grooves and cracks in the thick bark to gain footing as he crawled up like a spider.

  once he reached the top of the tree where the fruit ley hanging from the topmost branches huffing and puffing as he laid down between 2 of the branches, 'ok now to get those fruits', he paused 'I will not be able to eat all of these I need some sort of storage'.

  As he thought this he grabbed the end of his robes that fluttered around past his feet ripping a large section off but not enough to lose his modesty, he tied two sides together with a strong knot to make a very basic sack made out of the blue robe. 'Ok, that will have to do for now' as he thought to gather the fruits.

  once he gathered all of the fruits he made his way down the tree sitting at the bottom to rest for few minutes, while he rested he ate half of the fruits only leaving 10 left in the robe sack. 'Those fruits are really tasty however I feel some strange energy gathering inside me whatever it is it feels good though', he thought perplexed at the situation.

  The boy continued on his journey to find some sort of shelter or civilization it was around 6 hours later that he finally found something that may lead to civilization, a path that went between the forest as trees lined the edges of the path as far as the eye can see. The moons cast a soothing light on the dirt path lighting up the way 'I wonder why it is always the same why is it never dark nor light just this place in between' he thought as he gazed at the sky which glittered with stars just barely visible like candles on the verge of being snuffed out.

  He spent a few more hours walking down the pathway before succumbing to tiredness and sprawling under the trees next to the path, while he slept noises sounded out in the twilight howls that sounded like ghosts and wails that just barely reached the senses sounding like the whistling of the wind.

  When He awoke he heard loud noises of hoofs hitting the ground and men chatting and laughing while walking in his direction, the boy moved around frantic behind the trees 'what should I do they could be killers or lunatics maybe even bandits', his mind worked in overdrive figuring out what to do in this situation.

  However, he was destined never to work through these thoughts as he heard a voice behind him, "hello boy who are you why are you spying on us" he felt cold steel on the back of his neck as the man said this in a voice that sounded like an adult telling of a child who has been caught red-handed.

  "I am sorry I do not know who I am I swear I do not mean anything bad by spying on you I do not remember anything before a few days ago I was curious and did not know what to do when I saw your group", the boy spoke in a frantic manner terrified of the threatening man behind him with a cold blade pressed against the back of his neck.

  "I can give you a deal boy if you come with us we can bring you to the nearest town it is located along this path inside the forest", he paused, "however you have to help us along the way against any monsters or bandits and the like what do you say" the man said while he removed the sword from the boys neck.

  "ok I will help you I just need information about where I am and supplies to help me against these threats you speak of", the boy said in relief as the man released him from the clutches of death.

  "Deal my name is Sunden by the way," Sunden said as a smile crossed his face.
