I seemed to have a new ability, but I was unable to see what it was, the only thing I knew was that I had one. We talked for a while, but the Chief didn’t know anything else, I asked for something to use, because I wouldn't go outside with my current form, still shaking Chief got out and about five minutes later she gave a big armor, it was silver with some gold dents that made for a really awesome armor, I didn’t know how but I could posses the armor, after possessing the armor my “physical” form was the armor, and then I got to experience the village for the first time, It was small but lively, full of different species and different kind of living beings, the village had about five thousand living beings, during that time I saw a priest, curious I went to talk to him.

* Hey - I said. - How are you today? - I made sure to vibrate the air, not use the connection, because Mike and the Chief said it would be better, I spent a hour learning how to, but now I can communicate without worry.

* I’m okay. - the priest said. - Do you want to hear about the God of Souls?

* Sure why not. - I said clearly. - It would be nice to know how to do things. - I said quietly.

* Okay so, the God of Souls was once a big got full of power, the one who helps the dead to return to the living, and live another life to experience this world that is full of wonders, but a war happened, it was all fault of a forgotten, the forgotten of war, he enraged every one of a city to go after the God of Souls, because of something, then the only church left is ours, here in this village, because it’s small and away from the big city, they did not found us. So would you like to join our church? - he said with shining eyes.

* Not really, I just want to learn more about the world. - I said letting him down.

* Oh, okay. If you change your mind just come talk to me. - He said, looking down. - My name is Giovani.

I continued my walk, I saw some sales tents and some beggars, and there wasn’t much more to see, I went back to Mike and talked about the priest.

* Hey Mike, I just saw a priest who was talking about the God of Souls, do you know anything about it?

* Not actually, the only thing I know is that the Church of Souls is the only church here, why?

* Nothing much, just curious.

* Is there something else I’m supposed to know about this world? - I said hoping there was, for some reason I love to learn.

* Yes I’m glad you asked that, about a year ago in the north a portal opened, we think it leads to the land of the dead. We are not sure why it opened, but you should be careful the undead are a thought species to fight.

* What species are you by the way Mike? We never talked about that.

* I’m a Dragonborn, I was born through a human that was strong enough to impress a dragon, in my case a dark dragon, then it gave some of his power to the human, when that human died through his shadow I was born.

* I understand, I’m sorry about that. - I said, trying to put myself in his shoes.

* Why? It’s just the way we, dragonborns, are born there is nothing to feel sorry about.

* Okay then. - I didn’t fully understand but I just went with it.

It was getting late, but I didn’t feel tired so I went back to the tavern, the second floor was for rooms, I went to one and stayed there thinking to myself. “Why am I here? What happened to me? Where was I? What is my existence? What is the reason I’m here?” And then that voice in my head talked to me again. “You are here because you wanted to. You used all your power to come to the land of living, but in doing that you lost all your memories. You were in the outer lands, the place all the forgotten got banned to. You are a forgotten, an existence that comes from fear, or lack of faith, you are not born, you simply exist to fill a void, in your case it was from fear. Your reason was to change the fear people have from you for faith.” I was stunned for a while, then I heard a noise, it was a little far so I didn’t pay attention, then I asked the voice. “What fear am I then?” No answer was given. “I guess I’ll have to figure it out by myself then. What is my name then? ... No answer again. What is my class?” “That one I can answer, you’re a forgotten” “Yeah I know that is my species but what about my class?” But then that information came again.

The moment I was going to ask about my new passive, someone knocked on my door.

* Hey, forgotten are you there? - It was Mike.

* Yeah, let me open the door. - When I looked through the window it was already day. I opened the door and Mike was there with the Chief.

* What did you talk about with the priest of the Church of Souls? - They looked concerned.

* Nothing much, just some things about the church and his beliefs, why?

* Because they all left. - The Chief said, she looked angry. - What did you do?

* Nothing I swear on my life.

Then someone entered the tavern yelling.

* Chief, Chief I have news about the church.

* Here!!!! - She yelled, waving her arm.

* I’m so glad I found you. - He said, he was a human with black skin, similar to Chief’s, but he had a white hair and red pupils, he was taller and was wearing more clothes. - Apparently they had scouts in the big city and heard about a group of war forgotten worshippers that were coming here. They were afraid for the city so they went out at night.

* So that was the noise I heard in the night. - I said remembering, and a little too loud.

* Probably. - The human said, then he continued. - They are preparing for a full out war with them. We don’t know where, and I don’t think it’ll be worth for us to go after them.

* I agree. - The Chief said with serious eyes. - And the war is probably going to happen before we could even get there. We would have too many losses.

* But - Mike intervened. - But we have to help them.

* We will Mikey, just not in the war, when the war is over we will go there and rescue the living and recover the bodies of the dead.
