Her house was neat and simple, she only had a chair, a bed, some pots and plates on the floor, a box for keeping her clothes and a crystal that gives light to the house, a door was at the back of the house but it led outside and Ray could hear the sounds of animals.
"Sit down, I'll bring the food, I'm not really a good cook but I'm sure it's eatable," the girl said as she brought a plate to Ray.
Ray stared at the plate in his hands, the plates contained potatoes cut into smaller parts and mixed with a soup, it looked like a porridge.
"I know it doesn't look like much but it's..." Before the girl could speak Ray was already eating.
The food wasn't all that delicious, it was just eatable and he was hungry, but now that Ray thought about it, as soon as he saw the food, his mind went back to porridge.
His memories weren't gone, at least not all of them, he could still remember all the basic things like food, items, names of beasts, weapons, and magic but the memories he had of people were gone, the memories he had of places were also gone.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "It seems you like the food" the girl smiled happily.
"I'm just hungry," Ray said and her smile died out immediately.
"I invited you into my home and offered you food and all you could see is my food isn't good" the girl sneered.
"Thanks for the food, I enjoyed it a little," Ray said as he kept the plate.
"Just a little is okay for me, where are you from, how did you end up here?"
"Can I stay here for the night?" Ray asked.
"Huh!! stay here for the night, I don't think that's possible, as you can see, I barely have any living space to accommodate someone else" the girl said.
"I don't mind, I'll manage," Ray said.
"You don't have anywhere else to go, why would you travel without a horse, or were you attacked?" the girl asked.
"No, you don't have to worry about me, and thanks for your help," Ray said.
"I'm Amy by the way, what's your name?"
"Ray"
"So, were you born with two different hair colors, did your parents have different hair colors?" Amy asked.
"No, I just did" Ray answered.
"You look really handsome, I'm sure both of your parents would be handsome, which kingdom do they live in?"
"Both of them are dead," Ray said.
"Ohh, I'm sorry," she said.
"Do you live alone, what about your parents?" Ray asked.
"My mum died when I was little, but my dad died a year back, it was really rough cause I had no one, but he left me the house, some farm animals, and a farmland"
"I'm sorry," Ray said.
"Where are you heading if you leave here?" Amy asked.
"Xethen Empire," Ray said.
"Xethen Empire, what are you going there to do, I don't think it's safe to visit there right now, we heard the news about the attack on Avalon and fingers are pointing to Xethen Empire"
"Are they responsible for the attack?" Ray asked.
"No one knows, apparently half of bullmar city was destroyed, I know the merchant was adding little lies in his stories but I think the attack was pretty..."
"Half the city was destroyed, and more than half of the knights were killed" Ray spoke.
"Huh!! how did you? Wait are you coming from Avalon?" Amy asked.
"Yes"
"Are you heading to Xethen as a spy, or what? It's a little risky to head there for now, you should wait for some days or you might be killed if they find out you are from Avalon" Amy said worriedly.
"Killed... I'm not that weak, besides I'm not heading there as a spy or anything, I just want to confirm something, it keeps bothering me so I'm going there"
"You are going to confirm something despite the risks, you are really brave I just hope you don't die' which you probably will" Amy snorted.
"Are you that afraid, do beasts attack this village often?" Ray asked.
"Yes, but since the fence was built, the attacks have reduced" Amy replied.
"Have you heard of infected beasts?" Ray asked.
"Everyone knows about them, strange beasts with black eyes that are extremely vicious and hard to kill, we were attacked some months ago and it took all the males in the village attacking simultaneously to kill a single wolf"
"Infected beasts, I would love to see one before I arrive at my destination," Ray said.
"I'm going to check on my plants, you can stay in if you like, I won't stay long" she said.
"I'll go with you," Ray said as he stood up.
"Okay"
"You were going to leave a stranger in your house, aren't you afraid I'm going to steal something?" Ray asked.
Amy chuckled softly before speaking, "I have nothing of interest, and you can't steal my animals cause the villagers would know"
...
"Your village is really small, all you do here is farm," Ray said.
"Yes, and a river is nearby so we also fish, and because of the river animals usually hang around here so we also hunt, that's all," Amy said.
"Why don't you leave for the city?"
"Staying in the city is expensive and I don't have something I'm good at except farming, so I can't stay in the city" she replied.
"Then how do you get other items, I saw different things other than food around here"
"A Merchant uses this road and he brings items from the city for us in exchange for food items, that's where the villagers get most of their items, I usually don't buy anything apart from clothes"
