4 Nice to meet you

When I arrived at the village I immediately found a tree to hide behind. "Ok, villagers look like normal humans, check, they are wearing similar clothing as me, check, they are speaking that strange language I can understand,check!" "Phew," I was prepared for the worst but, everything is relatively normal. "What'cha doing?" "Investigating." I said without thinking twice. Wait! Who was that just now. I quickly turned around. "Are you new here? What are you investigating?" It was a young girl. I was about to reply when I realized, "huh?" What did she just say? She understood what I said... Does that mean I can speak their language too?

That triggered a long chain of thoughts which flooded my mind. Why did I just show up on that cliff? Why was I standing there wearing nothing but a thin dress and a pair of weaved shoes? And the scars on my hands from my experiments.. they were gone.

My appearance! I didn't have bangs and my skin wasn't this fair but, when I was washing off the mud I didn't notice anything different.

All the signs pointed to one possibility, this is my body from around nine years ago.

After I turned seventeen, I stopped caring about my appearance to focus on my studies from when I was twenty to twenty five, I worked on the Worlds Gate and barely ever looked in the mirror. I forced myself to stop thinking, it's not time to think right now, I have to talk!

I pretended I was distracted by pair of cute rabbits that just happened to be hiding in a patch of grass at the moment. "Oh, sorry, it's nice to meet you! I'm Cecilia, I'm a traveler, I was looking for some edible plants when I accidentally lost my balance and fell down a cliff. I lost my bags and was looking around for them when I spotted this town. I was checking if this would be a good place to stay until I was able to continue traveling."
