The people living in the area were surprisingly generous to me. They helped me set up a house and build a shelter that I could live in, but I also managed to convince them to give me some extra supplies for my trip. It was mostly food and medicine that they insisted on giving me, but there were also weapons here and there. Swords and bows. Some kind of heavy armor that they called 'armor'. Even the horses we encountered seemed quite docile.
I eventually grew accustomed to the new environment that I had found myself in. I learned to trust everyone around me. Everyone was willing to help me. They were all very friendly and welcoming.
