Chapter 1 - Cherry Tree Village

Susie is a young elf who lives in the woods with her father.

Her mother disappeared when she was just five years old, and since then Susie has taken care of herself. She never had friends or enemies;

At age 18, Susie joined a team of adventurers, and together they set off on a journey to find their missing mother.

Meanwhile, at the Adventurers Association, the guild master asks his daughter, Solanna, what she thinks of the group he hired for his expedition this time.

''I trust them, I believe they will bring good results,'" Solanna told her father.

"'I believe it to be true, ' said Solanna's father, and so both went his way.

After leaving the guildhall, Susie stopped at an inn called "The Green Forest Inn"

There she met a man named Emon.

He was a good person, he asked Susie if she knew where the Adventurers Guild was

''I know, follow this route and turn left on the cherry tree.'' Susie said to Emon

After that, Susie and the other members of her party were going to cherry Blossom.

***

In the city of Zephyr, as people live in harmony with nature. The people of the city make a living from fishing and agriculture

'Ah, harmony with nature!'' Susie thought

That night, as she was walking home along the beach, she saw a couple walking arm in arm as they headed out to sea

''Someday I'll get married too, and maybe my husband will take me out to sea''

The next day, Susie woke up early and fished. When she returned to the inn after all her hard work, she heard someone singing...

"I have a feeling today will be a great day"

was Johnny, one of Susie's companions

''Good morning'' said Susie

''Oops, good morning Miss Susie, ' said Johnny

Both were traveling together to find Susie's mother, even after so long, Johnny is the only one of his companions who believes Susie's mother is still alive.

That night, Susie was reading a storybook about Cherry Blossom while waiting for the sun to go. Then, suddenly, she heard a voice calling her name, "Susie!" Susie turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing there.

"Who are you?" Susie asked the woman.

"My name is Sylphina," the woman replied ''I'm your mother's friend''

''what...'' said Susie confused, would it really be true? a strange woman, appearing out of nowhere, saying she knew her mother, Susie did not know whether to believe her words or not, she did not want if a false hope, after all, was a strange woman who was in front of her. But deep down, Susie felt something calling her... saying that her mother was still alive.

So Susie agreed to follow the woman to the village.

When they arrived at the village, Susie saw a group of children playing on the green grass, laughing and so on. Everyone happily waved to Susie, "Hello, Miss Susie."

When Susie looked closer, she realized they were all elves.

The villagers greeted Susie warmly: "Welcome, welcome! Please come with us!" One of the villagers asked Susie.

Only then, another villager came running to them; he was carrying a basket full of vegetables. "Oh no, I'm sorry, we can't accept any gift today, please forgive us."

''what... what's going on?'' Susie was confused, all this was strange, Elves in a village where there should be only humans?

Then, the villager who was holding the basket came closer and opened the basket. Inside was a piece of paper which read ''The villagers of Cherry Tree Village wish you a pleasant stay here. We hope that you enjoy your visit." It was written in English, the language spoken in modern-day Europe.

After Susie saw the note, she finally remembered why she wanted to come to this place. "Mother!" Susie cried. Suddenly, the whole village began to cheer, and many of the villagers ran towards Susie.

Susie's father, who was also an adventurer, came running over to Susie and hugged her tightly.

Susie's mother, who was wearing a white dress, walked slowly towards Susie. There were tears in her eyes when she embraced her daughter.

"Mother, how did you get here?" Susie asked. "I don't know, all I could think of was to follow the wind."

Susie's mother took Susie by the hand and started walking away from the village. At last, Susie and her mother reached the end of the forest.

as i walked, it was impossible not to notice, whispers... various whispers, coming from all directions.

''wake up...''

''what... mother, are you hearing this?''

''wake up...''

Susie was scared, the voices, they didn't stop, they kept coming from everywhere, until...

the whispering stopped. Susie saw a light shining in the distance.

''Mother, is that the sun?'' Susie asked

"Yes, it is," her mother replied

The two of them stood and watched as the sun continued to rise.

Susie finally found her mother again, there was nothing that could ruin the momen...

''a... what... ?'' Susie woke up from her dream.

Susie was sitting in the inn, the Cherry Tree Inn. She was looking out of the window, staring at the sea, remembering the dream she had just woken up from.

Suddenly, she heard somebody call out her name, "Susie!" Susie turned around, and saw a young man standing behind her.

"What... who are you?" Susie asked the stranger. "My name is Eldric, I work at the Adventurers' Guild. Are you okay? You look pale."

Eldrick, the son of the guildmaster, was the youngest member of the guild. He was also Susie's childhood friend.

They had always stayed close friends throughout their school days, and now, after graduating from the academy, they both went their separate ways.

''I... I'm fine,'' susie said.

''It's good to know, you should have come to visit me sometimes, I was homesick.''

''I'm sorry... ''

''All right, it doesn't matter anymore''

as they talked, someone walks through the door ''H-Help, we need help!''

The first person Susie saw was the innkeeper, he was covered in blood, and there was a huge wound on his head.

''Oh no, what happened?!'' Susie shouted.

'We were attacked by a monster, it got into the inn and killed everyone else except for me,'' he explained.

Susie quickly went to the man to try to treat his injuries

In the meantime, Eldrick and his companions rushed to the inn

The door was open, and outside was a large crowd of people

and coming out of there was a big minotaur carrying in his hands a huge axe

"look out, he's going to attack!!" Johnny warned.

"alright, let's kill him!!" Eldrick shouted.

Johnny, Eldric and her companions ran outside and charged at the minotaur.
