As he stirred our hero heard voices outside of the tent-like structure he was apparently in. A rough voice suddenly spoke, ''It does not matter; if he does not wake up....'' Another voice cut in, ''Nothing will happen because he is a member of the Race!'' a softer voice exclaimed. Quietly trying to stand he did not notice the items hanging above knocking one down and alerting the two outside. Right then the flap to the tent opened showing two centaurs.
''Who are you and where am I'', he called out to them. The first to enter, a male centaur, snorted and said, ''See the boy doesnt even know who he is.'' He then added ''I am Eypos and this is Demonth'' After he introduced himself he turned and briskly left the tent. ''Forgive him he has many problems to solve for the tribe.'' said the aforementioned Demonth.
She then asked, ''Do you truly not know yourself young-one?'' As he turned to reply he blushed as he noticed she was wearing a leather vest that showed off alot. He nervously asked, ''No, but do you know who I am?'' She said, ''The only thing I know is your name, it is Giwill.'' He frowned and said, ''That doesnt sound familiar at all to me.'' Demonth then turned to leave the tent and said, ''Come mabye seeing the camp will jog your memory.''
Thinking that this was a sound idea he made to follow, but then realised he had no clothes on. He called to her, ''But what about my clothes!'' She laughed and said ''There is no shame in a male exposing his body to the camp, it is fine.'' Quelled by her explanation he walked outside and saw the camp in its full glory.
He looked around and saw around a dozen tents that were similar to the one he was in. There were also other centaurs walking around doing chores. Some were returning with berries and plants to eat, and others were a little outside the camp guarding it from attackers.
He sighed, ''None of this looks familiar at all.'' She smiled sadly, ''Unfortunately it seems you have amensia of some kind, but mabye in time your memory shall return.'' All of a sudden a blue screen appeared.

Rewards: 50 gold
Then a bag containg presumably 50 gold fell into his open hands. Demonth then said, ''Why dont we use that to buy you a weapon to defend yourself?'' She trotted off leaving Giwill to follow briskly or risk getting lost. After a minute they arrived at a tent with a centaur surrounded by all kinds of goods was standing at. She called to them, ''Is that the new guy Demonth?'' Demonth sighed and said, ''You know it is him Coliton; can I get him a weapon please?''
Coliton had mahogany colored hair in a pony tail, and she had slightly tanned skin. Once more he blushed at her near lack of clothes but Coliton noticed it right away.Coliton guffawed and said, ''Well do you got the money to pay for one?'' Demonth replied, ''Yes he has 50 gold is there anything he can get for that?'' Coliton pulled out three different weapons.

Stat Req: 3 AGI, 3 STR
Iron Mace

Iron Spear

Giwill thought for a moment then said, ''I shall take the spear so I can keep enemies away.'' Nodding at his logic Demonth took the gold and exchanged it with Coliton for the spear. Demonth then led him back to the tent he woke up in and gave him the spear. She said, ''It shall be dusk soon I have duties I must attend to before resting for the night.'' She added, ''My tent is near Colitons if you need me just ask for directions from her.'' He said, ''I shall see you tomorrow then, farewell.'' She called over her shoulder, ''See you tomorrow.''
He then went inside the tent and laid down on the fur bed while thinking. He eventually fell asleep thinking of talking to Demonth the next day. However things cant start off so peacefull now can it?
