Hearing the beeping sound of my translator module, I wake up.
It's already afternoon.
I have the full map of the village in front of me. The 3D holographic map in front of me shows that it's a small village, the biggest house is located in the center of the village and it is the house of the village chief.
All in all the village has a total of almost 35 houses. Some big some small, the houses closer to the seaside, are built differently than the rest.
There are two guards at the village entrance, holding spears made of some sort of black wood, with shiny metal tips.
Most of the village is surrounded by wooden fences, not particularly good defense, but I guess it works for such a small village?
After making sure that I didn't miss any details, I pack up the ITENT and put it back in my kit. I clean the gathered dust off my clothes, still wearing the cloak I take off my hood so that the other party can see me clearly.
I come out behind the rock and walk towards the village entrance. I walk as casually as I can, like that time when I went to 'Pizza Inn'. Do I look weird? My friend Heidi always told me that I looked weird looking like that
As soon as I'm in view distance the taller one among the two points the spear at me, asking who I am.
I could sense the hostility from them, why though?
'I'm but a humble traveler, coming from another place far from here, lost the way I have,' I reply.
'Oi, Tet, go get the Shaman priest!' the tall one orders the shorter one. I'm curious though, what is a Shaman Priest?
Well, looks like I'll be able to see what a Shaman Priest is in a few minutes.
I wait for a few minutes. After a while, the shorter guard came with a grey-robed figure.
"His'' face hidden under the hood, the grey robe hiding the whole body without an inch of skin to show.
The figure removed the hood, showing a beautiful feminine face, dark-skinned with blue lines on the cheeks to the hairlines. With purple dots right under both eyes.
'I'm Ragna, the Shaman Priest of this village, traveler.' She says to me.
'Can you tell me what you told them?' She asks.
'Yes, I'm a traveler from afar, another place but have lost my way'
Hearing my words she turns to the taller guard, 'Juran, I sense no lies, this man is speaking the truth, he has no hostility towards us, you may let him in.'
Hearing her words ''Juran's'' face relaxes. He turns towards me and says, 'Sorry, but due to several kidnappings we had an order from the village chief to not let outsiders in without checking.'
'There's no need to apologize....Juran, might I call you by your name?'
'Of course, call me by my name, what is your name, traveler?'
'Zack. You can call me Zack Mason.'
