A small girl not even seven years old, black race full of mud and charcoal, dark green hair like a birds nest, wearing sack of potatoes as clothing with straw rope that is tied on her waist.
She looks hard and hungry from the great escape she did.
Rowan was supprice how can this small girl escape long enough to arrive as far as this territory.
"Old Jack tell the kitchen prepare something warm and easy to eat."
"Yes, Young Master." Old Jack then go back inside and ask for the kitchen, after couple of minutes the maids come back with warm plate of food.
Seeing the food infront of her the little girl cant help but to start to dig up, she scoop the soup like no tomorrow.
You can see that she never eat something decent for many days, it was still surprising that she manage to endure until now is a miracle.
Rowan sigh and pick the wet towel that the maid bring and help the kid to wipe her face, she look worry at first but seeing that the strange man did not hurt her she just continue to eat.
After wiping the kid, she become more clean now and look more pleasant than her dirty image just now.
"Are you full?"
The little girl nodded.
"Good, then can you answer some of my question if possible for you?"
"... Yes." She timid said.
Rowan can't still imagine how this girl escape, from her timid look he can't image her to escape or even run couple of steps away.
"Tell me, how did you escape?"
The girl name is Daisy, she is a orphan after her father died from accident, her mother also left after saying from giving birth to her so she alone.
With her young age she is living alone with things left by her father, she is independent on her own, even though some friends of her late father want to take her on their own she still choose to live independent.
She know that life on the village is hard, like her, the other family is also having hard time feeding their self, much more famine is normal for small village like them so she choose to live alone than being burden for others.
But even so, the people around still show care for her, they bring some food to help her daily needs, they watch over her so nothing happen to her.
Even though the village is poor and hunger is always the problem of everyone, they never think anyone as burden but they try to pull each of their people to go up.
Maybe the God heard their prayers at night, a miracle happen, Daisy wake up one day with strange ability that greatly help their situation.
Ability to control plant "Phytokinesis".
Phytokinesis is used to control and manipulate plants, which includes but is not limited to growth, healing, and manipulation of plants.
He don't need to ask what happen next because he can visualize what happen afterwards.
With the help of her ability, she can grow plants and that means more food, with her ability she can end the famine.
And just like what Rowan think they use her ability to end the years of problem, with her help the Village finally escape from hunger and poverty.
Everyone is happy, they finally have enough food, the village will never have any problem again and that's the happy ending.
But there's no happy ending, greed is part of human nature so wanting more is normal.
But greed is also the root of evil, with greed anyone can do anything and just like that a village that will experience prosperity is gone and burn because of greed.
Everything happen after a Traveling Merchant visit the village, this is pretty normal as Traveling Merchant comes once every month.
The Merchant was amazed from the quality of the agricultural products they sell, they can even fight the largest producer of agriculture products just from quality.
