"After many decades finally…. Mother had allowed me to explore the world! I can live a life that's not like royalty!"

I have finally set out on an adventure to explore the mystery and fun to be had in other realms. I step on the teleporter pad as I was transported from home to the Warrior Realm. On my arrival I saw many small structures, blacksmiths hammering away at their forge, many of steed tied to a post, and the large numbers of warriors and soldiers wandering about, and children running and playing around with wooden weapons. A city in the Warrior Realm, this place is fascinating and exhilarating! I have one goal in mind, which was to search for a very well-known blacksmith capable of forging many powerful weapons. Though I didn't think I would be attracting so much attention by just entering this realm…. Luckily for me, I brought this blindfold for my eyes, if anyone saw my eyes they would easily identify me as a member of the Law Family...

As I start walking around the city looking around, people did the opposite of what I wanted them to do. They stared at me, it wasn't because of my eyes, was it? No, my eyes are covered, I look at myself in a reflection of a store glass and noticed my clothing was different from the common folk here. Just by a glance, you can tell that my clothes are made from high quality compared to the rest of the people here. So much for staying low profile…. These people can't know I'm part of the Law Family otherwise brawls are bound to happen…. Anyways, this blacksmith can't be that hard to find, he's so well known throughout the warrior realm! But first…. I need a place to stay…. The forest will do!

Before I left the city, I asked the guards at the entrance of the city the name of this city. WindKeep! A beautiful name for a city. I heard that forests are a place of relaxation and hold sights to always remember making it the best place for a home! Mother never allowed me to explore the woods like this…. Being able to run free and not worry about being scorned by mother, feels like a dream come true! Oh, I made sure to draw a mental map in my head for a way back to the city, don't want to be lost in the wilderness like this.

The first thing I noticed about the city, or where the city of WindKeep was located. We were in a city covered by plant life, there were so many trees and so many plants everywhere around the city, the city was practically drowning in trees from the amount of trees everywhere. There was a road at the entrance of the gates that you can follow and I'm guessing that it lead outside this massive forest, I went in the complete opposite direction of the entrance of the city. I was walking for more than forty minutes by now, I at least walked more than 16000 meters away from the city if my calculations are right. 

I stopped in my tracks as I saw an interesting-looking tree, the leaves on this tree were glowing a dim light blue as the tree itself was a light blue as well. It was unlike any other tree around here, it was about two meters thick, quite odd.  If I remember correctly this is a tree that originated in the Mythical Realm, interesting but how did it get here…. Either way, this tree could work for a house. With the Arts, I created an axe made of ice and I started chopping away at this tree. As I chop away at this tree, I hear liquid inside the tree moving around; this odd liquid most likely will contain properties of the Arts…. I should avoid touching it. 

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

I continue to hack away at this tree until I noticed it was hollow inside, which make sense since I heard the liquid inside moving around. I continue to hack at the tree, trying to make this hole bigger so that I can see inside it. Maybe an ancient weapon would be inside it and I'll become the strongest person alive because of it like in those stories father would always read to me. I swing for another time but stop myself as I saw a figure inside the hole I made.

"T-There 's…. There's someone in this tree?! But how is that possible? How did she get here? How long has she been in there?.... Is she alive…." it was silent but I can see her chest slowly move up and down. she looks young but she has white hair like me, her hair was short and she was cuddling herself inside the tree; she was underneath the liquid but she was breathing normally.

I made the hole big enough to carefully remove her from the inside of the tree, I laid her down. I need to build shelter quick…. Building it around this tree would be better in order to give her some cover. Now that I'm looking at it again this is a tree from the Mythical Realm meaning whatever could be in there must be a Mythical Creature…. How could a tree let alone a creature of the Mythical Realm reach a place like this?

I made a simple house, it's more like a dome-shaped hut than a house... honestly, it isn't good looking but it's honest work. It took me a couple of hours to make it, I also made a place where I can lay down the girl, can't really call it a bed but whatever. I lay her down and look through my bag, before I left home I did bring with me a couple of things. I take out a small page of paper and rip it, it was covered in weird runes and writing. once the page was ripped in two out came a blanket from my room, I cover her in it.

How did she get encased in this tree? For now, she can stay in the bed, so much for a quick visit to the Warrior Realm now I’m saving little kids from mythical trees…. I need something to eat, campfire’s a must. I leave the house hut as I walk away from it. Is she human?.... No, no human would be able to survive being in a tree like that let alone be born in them…. Was she trapped within it? Maybe there's a type of Mythical Creatures that are born from trees. Who is this girl? What did she do in order to be trapped within it?....  I should've listened to Mother and studied more on the different types of races, maybe I would have known if there are creatures from the Mythical Realm that are born from trees...

My eyes change from gray to a light blue as I think about it more

[Snap]

Hmmm?.... What was that? Was I followed by one of those warriors in Windkeep? cant be

I look around myself as I spot two beady eyes staring back at me. what is that? Is…. Is that a boar? It’s definitely a boar with it having dark brown fur, long red strikes surrounding its body, especially with it having horns, and enormous tusks…. Wait, It’s got horns? Well no matter, With my bow, it’ll be my lunch when I’m done wit-

I reach for my bow behind me 

...

...

...

Eh?.... Of course, I left home without having brought any arrows for a weapon that needs them…. I sigh to myself. I guess the old fashion way it is then. It starts charging me as it yells out its war cry, I create over a dozen of ice swords above it.

“Come on…. It’s lunch time and I’m quite famished”

Here it comes! This Boar is a lot bigger the closer it gets…. wow, what’s this boar been eating to get that en-oh right gotta make food! I bring down my swords, it somehow dodges four of the swords but it wasn't enough as the rest of the blades impales the boars back. The boar stumbles on itself as it falls over to my feet, I create one sword in my hands as I stab it through its head.

That's that…. I can feed both myself and the little girl, I can even use the hide to make some clothing for her. I drag the body to the hut and begin to skin it, when I was finished with that I began to cook it.

I do worry for her….  I should take her to a medic back in the city, hopefully, the people there will help her. She’s very young as well, she must be around 10 or even 12 if she is human…. her parents must be worried for her.

I take a bite out of the food, Mmmmm…. food back home taste a lot better than what i can make…. maybe i can find a good cook he-
