Chapter 3 - A reveal

The guard took a seat opposite her "Your Singe, correct?" the guard asked her "I am Zonira" The guard followed up, not there for Singe to answer "So why don't you know who you are?" Zonira asked Singe.``I just don't know, all I know is that I had woken up in a forest," Singe said "I don't even know if my name is Singe" she added. Zonira nodded in understanding? "Well that explains not having any identification on you" she muttered "Well then, how did you find out about the name Singe? she asked her kindly "A book, a book in a bag that I found next to me" She answered "a leather bag, right?", "Yeah!" Singe exclaimed, "Do you have any idea of who you are?"

"I had a dream"

"a dream?" "What in the dream"

"it was cold and dark and fire there was a lot of fire"

"fire? What was one fire"

"a village, there was so much screaming"

"screaming? What else do you remember?"

"a voice"

"What did the voice say?"

"it said something like, look out?"

"Look out? From what?"

"I don't know, and when I turned around, I saw a sword and-"

Tears start to fall down her cheek

"And?"

"It went through me, it felt so real" She cried out, more tears starting to fill her eyes

Zonira looked at her "Calm down Singe" she said soothingly "You can leave for now, your bag will be in the front, and don't leave the village" she added pinching her nose bridge as Singe left the room

Once Singe left the room she walked front, and retrieved her bag, eyes watching. She left through the front door confused, why was she here and more importantly why is she here without memories, singe thoughts to herself as she continued to walk around the village people's eyes not leaving her. She bounced onto something looking up was a tall man with a piercing gaze "Watch where you going" the man said his voice gruff "I am sorry sir" Singe replied looking down to avoid his gaze.

The man walked away, Singe looked around and realised she was at the village gates, the guards who were by the gate. Singe's eyes were still looking at the ground, the guards looked at each other before opening the gates.

Singe looked up and saw the gates open. She slowly walked out of the village before going on a full sprint to get away from the village. She reached the forest surrounding the village she looked around to make sure no one was there before opening her bag, she first found her clothes, which she quickly put on over the white dress she was wearing.

She continues to walk around the forest where she finds a cave. She enters the cave it is dark and humid she takes out a match and lit it on the cave wall looking around in the now lit cave revealing a opening to an old mineshaft she continues to explore this cave following the old rusted run-down rails.

While she was exploring the cave, she wondered why this mineshaft was abandoned. Soon the rails stopped abruptly stopping at a cliff over looking a whole another world with mushrooms that glow blue, trees the colour of the night sky that was tall as the cave ceiling, on the cave ceiling was bats? that was big as her, they were shining like stars against the dark ceiling of the cave.

Star looks in amazement at her discovery, she hordly climbing down the cliff, being careful not to fall and meet her end so soon in this new world, when she reached down the cliff she saw a deer that was huge probably 2 times the size of a normal deer, she slowly approached the deer. It looked at her. She stopped in her tracks. It continues to look at her 1 second 2 seconds, she counts. It aproch her slowly. She put her hand on for it head. It slowly reached for her hand. It grabs her hand roughly its teeth, tearing through her flesh, and it starts running with her hand in its mouth. It reaches the cliff. It hit her harshly against the cliff side, the stones cutting her back she let out a piercing scream. It hit her against the wall again and again and again until it eventually got bored, leaving her laying down in her own blood.

It had been roughly 2 hours, and Singe was still laying down on the floor. It hurt too much to move. When she heard something or someone coming down the cliff. There stand the scary guard.

"I can't leave you alone for a minute can't I?" she pick Singe up "so much dam blood" she rolled her eyes. Things went black once again, it was uncomfortable.

She was awake again I'm the same position again, uncomfortable. Zoey walk into the room, singe try to sit up. "Stay down" Zoey said "your back have not fully healed", Singe shift uncomfortably on the bed "how long was I out" she grumble "two days, you lost a lot of blood".

"The captain wants to see you" Zoey said "who th-", the door shut, leaving Singe. Singe closed her eyes falling back asleep. The door opened again Zonira in the doorway. "Wake up", Singe groaned "Yes Zonira?" "That caption for you" Zonira said. "Yes dear captain?" Singe mocks "why can't Someany recorded you" Zonira asked "Didn't I tell you? I don't know"

"Stop lying.

"I am not"

"We will see about that" Zonira said leaving the room, slamming the door

"We will dear captain"

Sometime passed Singe was getting ready a simple white top and brown pants when the door opened once again Zoey being the one there, "get ready quicker the captain wants to see you at the guard house now" she said oh-okay" Singe replied, Zoey pulling her away from the room by the arm to the guard house "okay, okay I am coming" Singe said fixing her clothes "no pulling"

Upon reaching the guard office she was put in the same room she was put in the beginning. "It seems you was not lying there is no current records of someone with the name Singe or anyone who look like you" Zonira said sitting down in the cagir opposite of Singe "but there is someone who looked like you and surprisingly with the same name" she begins "but that person was presumed dead around 100 years ago" Singe look at her in shock "what?" "100 years ago there was a knight named Singe Eld who was the crown guard of the princess of in that time the greatest kingdom, Phoenixdrop, when then they got attacked by an unknown nation, Singe was one of the last guards seen when she was killed by a sword in a fire" Zonira said "but how that can be?" Singe ask wanting an explanation "we don't exactly know but if you are truly her then it may be a sign of necromancy" Zonira said "we will be setting out to the capital to get more information on necromancy and it side-effects"

"Get ready by then"
