It's hard. I don't feel comfortable.

I open my eyes. My head hurts. I'm a bit sleepy so I don't realize it immediatly. I need a few seconds to notice it. There's no bed! I was sleeping on the floor. It's cold and smooth. I'm wearing normal cloths and not a pajama. I'm wearing my shoes. But....how did I get here. Where am I? The better question is: Who am I?

I know nothing. Wether about myself or somebody else. If I try to remember something it doesn't work. I lost my memories. What should I do?

I try to look around but it's so dark that I even can't see anything. I stand up and stretch my arms out so I can grab anything. Now I can feel something. I think it's a wall. I feel my way along the wall. Ow! I cut my hand at something sharp. Carefully so I won't cut myself again I touch it. At that moment there is a bright light. I have to close my eyes. The light slowly turns down. I open my eyes again. The origin of the light is as big as my hand. It looks like a gem. My blood is on it. The gem is shining in a beautiful white light. I turn around and can now see what's around me. I think I'm in a cave. I look around to find the exit but there was nothing.. It's like a room without a door. I need to do something so l poke in all the columns but there was nothing. I go to one side of the room and start touching the wall. Nothing. I go to the next side. Again. Nothing. Now I go to the third side and start touching. There. I can feel something. That part of the rock is movable. The whole wall is moving sidewards as I turn it. I'm so happy. I can get out of here.

I run out of the cave and stop. Now I'm really disappointed. Again rocks. The cave doesn't stop here. The gem lights up the path for a few meters. On the left there is a small table with a lether bag on it. I approach the bag cautiously. I carefully open it and there is a long knife, an oil lamp, matches, bread and an old water bottle in it. I decide to take the bag with me because I'll need it later. As I want to go away I notice a little piece of paper. I take it in my hand and unfold it. There's something written on it. I begin to read:

Dear player.

I know everything must be very

confusing but you

will find out everything. Follow this

path and you will get out of here.

This isn't a normal world. It's

dangerous. So you need to watch out

and don't trust anyone. I hope those

things will be of help to you. I wish

you good luck.

Yeah. I'm confused. What's happening here is not normal. Why are those things here? Does this person know something about me? And what does he mean with 'player'? How can I find that person? If the things that are written in the letter are true I really need to watch out. But first I need to get out of here. I lit the lamp. For now let's just follow this path.

It's really tiresome. I'm followig this path surely several days and have mostely seen rocks. It was so lucky that I found some oil in my bag. Because of that I can see where I'm going. I hope that the exit is nearer than I think. I'm glade that I have something to eat and drink but I only have a bit energy left and want to sleep. It's like a labyrinth. I often had to go back because there was a dead end. Sometimes there lay some bones on the floor. That was really terrifying. I want to get out of here as fast as I can. My feets are hurting and sometimes everything is spinning. I have as good as no hopes anymore. Maybe it's my destiny to wander around in this cave. But before I have the chance to wander around I would starve and die.

Suddenly I smell something. I smelled it before but that was a long time ago. It's the smell of grass.

I start running. Faster and faster. Now I can see it. A really huge door. I stop before it I and gather all my strenght that is left and start pushing it. But what a fool I am I need to pull. It works! It moves!

The door is now open and right before my eyes is a huge meadow. I'm falling on my knees and start to cry. I did it. I'm out of this hell.

I'm sitting on the grass and staring in the sky. It's been so long since the last time I felt so free. I close my eyes and feel the cold breeze. When I open them again unfortunately the sun is setting. I don't think it's such a good idea to sleep outside. Even if I want to it's maybe saver to sleep in the cave. That's going to be the last time for me to sleep there. The next day I will continue my journey. I need to find a way to get my memories back. And I need to get back home even if I don't know how. Even if I don't know where it is I have the feeling that I need to go back. With those things in my mind I fall asleept.

I'm hearing something I haven't heard for such a long time. Birds are singing outside. It's so wonderful. I slowly open my eyes. I eat the rest of the bread that was left and after that I'm ready to get out of this cave.

"I hope I'll never see you again."

Let's start this journey.

I cross the meadow. I take off my shoes and pack them in my bag. The feeling of going on soft grass is the best. Some time later I can see trees on the horizon. Befor it get's dark I should have reached the forest so I've got shelter. I don't know if there are bandits or wolves or some other beasts.

In the afternoon I get there. I love forests. Everytime im walking in a forest I feel so tine compared to those gigantic trees. But I've never seen such tall trees. Now I feel like an ant.

I also like the air. It's so fresh and clean. At the moment I'm so calm.

Suddenly I feel like somebody is staring at me. I turn around but there is nobody. Maybe it was my imagination but I'm not so sure. Since that moment I sharpend my senses. But I haven't had that feeling since then. Maybe there really was nothing. The sun is setting and I planed to sleep on a tree so nothing can reach me. I even had already climbed on a tree but then I saw smoke rising so now I'm running in that direction. I'm not sure what I'm hoping for. Maybe a bonfire withe some mercenaris. Or maybe I hope to find a small town.

It was a small house. The smoke is coming from there. I should go there and ask if I can stay for the night. It would be very productive if they can answere some of my questions. But then for a short moment I remembered one sentence from the sheet that I found.

So you need to watch out and don't

trust anyone.

I stop running and now I'm thinking about it. Nothing will go wrong, I think.

I reach the door of the small house. I'm so nervous. What will people from this world be like? I calm myself down, trying not to look as shabby as I'm feeling right now and knock on the door. No reactionbut then I hear footsteps and then the door opens.
