Chapter 1 - Day 1: A new life (I)

A stormy night where you could only hear the rain falling gradually causing the smell of humidity to be felt in the air and the rhythm of the croaking of frogs... Something was about to happen.

"Crack!!" A kind of sheep, its body was surrounded by a thick layer of golden wool completely covering its dark brown skin, it was accompanied by a peculiar hat on its head as well as a blue scarf and a belt around what seemed to be its waist.

It had fallen from the sky causing a shocking sound that anyone could have heard, and that happened, a girl with characteristic autumnal orange hair ran out of her house to get closer to the strange creature and see what happened to realize what it was.

"Ah, it's a monster!... What are you doing here in town...?" But the silence was what responded while she kept looking at the little sheep with concern. "Oh no... You look hurt, don't worry, I'll take care of you..."

The girl dragged the little sheep into her house to prevent it from continuing under that intense storm making sure not to hurt it.

"What happened?" After she walked in, an elderly man inside the house realized what was going on. "Hey, is a monster!"

His face showed the disgust that this creature was inside his abode, but the girl was not going to back down just because of those complaints.

"Yes, it is." Said the girl facing the annoying older man.

"What is that thing doing in my house?!?"

"It's hurt! Needs help!"

"Well, you could help it anywhere else! Why did you drag it here?!"

"Should I have left it outside in the rain?... I'll take care of it. I'm not going to let it bother you." It seemed that their mere words would not change the man's mind, but to her surprise, the old man reluctantly agreed and the girl carried the little sheep upstairs to put it to bed and let it rest. "Hehe, you should be fine in the morning."

...

The night had passed letting the warm aspects of the morning take their place, the storm had stopped, the sounds that were previously heard no longer did, and in the bed where our furry friend was, something was happening.

"Huh...?" After some strange glitters and flashes came out of its small body, that sheep could no longer be seen, in his place was a boy, he seemed to be between about 17 years old, his height was around 6 feet, he had long blonde hair, and had deep blue eyes color, as well as wearing somewhat strange reddish coat-like clothing that hugged her thin complexion. "What's going on...?"

He began to analyze where he was looking in the small room and trying to remember something, he felt a great pain in his head and he only had one question on his mind.

"Wait! Where the hell am I?!" After having given that cry of confusion, he ran out of the house without paying attention to if someone could have seen him, he was totally confused, so he didn't advance much once he left that place unknown to him. "Why did I run?... All this... It feels like a strange dream."

Once he got out of his thoughts, he managed to realize that someone was in front of him.

'Hmm? Who is she?'

"..."

"Um, hi..."

"..." Putting aside that incredibly awkward scene, the boy was able to take a better look at the girl who had not stopped looking at him without saying a word.

She seemed to be the same age as he and was a little shorter in height, beautiful crimson hair fell down her shoulders and, on her face, you could see blue eyes that looked at the boy with curiosity, in addition, that you could see how his ears ended in small tips and that her clothes were a set that consisted of a huge pink coat, and underneath a black shirt that exposed her abdomen as well as an orange scarf around her neck matching the skirt she was wearing.

The boy was about to try to ask a question when he noticed how the red-haired girl passed him intending to leave the place causing the following question to appear in his mind.

'Was it something I said?' Confused that he had said or done something to upset her, he decided to let her go and continue investigating where he was until he heard a voice from the place where the girl was moving away from him.

"Good morning, Raven."

"Good morning..."

The blonde managed to see a cheerful orange-haired girl with bright blue eyes who was wearing a cute flower crown in her hands and heard how she called the red-haired girl by the name of Raven. Like her, she seemed to be the same age and height, but with opposite attitudes, in addition to the fact that in her clothes you could see flowers wherever you looked as well as a colorful skirt that reached to her knees.

"I don't usually see you near the tree." Said the girl with orange hair.

"..." And repeating the same action she had with the blonde, Raven didn't say a single word.

"Ah!" But while the boy focused his attention on the "conversation" of both, the orange-haired girl noticed his presence and approached him at full speed. "Hello! I don't think we know each other. What is your name?"

She greeted him with a big smile as the morning breeze made her hair flutter slightly causing the boy to take a while to let go of his surprise and try to respond.

"Huh? My name...?" And just as the boy was about to say it, he realized something strange was happening.

"Something happens?" Asked the orange-haired girl since she had noticed the blonde's expression.

"Yes... I can't remember my name..."

"Can't you remember? Why not?" Confusion could be seen all over the orange-haired girl's face.

"No... I can't remember who I am... Not my name... Or where I'm from." And with just that, the girl came to a quick conclusion.

"You mean you have amnesia?!"

"Haha, I guess..." The concern had just returned to him, in addition, a not-knowing-what-to-do face formed on the orange-haired girl as Raven watched them curiously from a distance.

"Oh no, what should we do?!" But before anyone could answer something, she jumped up surprising both viewers "Wait! I have an idea!... Raven, can I ask you a favor?"

"A favor...?" Raven asked with some confusion that didn't show on her face.

"Yes. I'll explain it to you..." Then she began to relate what was in her head. "Hmm... Well, first of all, since we don't know your name, what should we call you?"

She told the boy that he had a confused expression on his face, and so it took a few seconds for him to speak.

"Hmm, how about... Blake? Call me Blake." He didn't know why, but it was the first name that came to mind.

"Hehe, Blake? What a flashy name, very manly!"

"Haha... It's good that you like it." After that little introduction, the orange-haired turned her gaze toward Raven. "Now, Raven... About that favor... Could you take Blake to the Sharance tree?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Could you do me that favor?" And after a small awkward silence that lasted a few seconds, Raven gave her answer.

"It's okay..."

"Haha... Thank you very much, Raven... Then I'm going to see my grandfather... I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay..." And leaving those words, the orange-haired girl ran away from the same place she arrived, leaving a cloud of dust indicating the speed with which she was running.

"So where are we going?" Blake asked after realizing that there was only him and Raven left in that place.

"This way..." Raven began to climb some stairs that led to a huge tree that was bigger than you could imagine, its trunk was giant and its leaves were pink at the same time that you could breathe a fresh aroma into the environment. Blake stayed for a few seconds appreciating it and wondering how big it was.

"Wow, what a huge tree!" 'Um, I think I should follow her...' And after he climbed all the stairs while admiring the landscape, he couldn't find Raven, instead, he came across a door that led into the tree and started to enter to see what awaited him inside.
