5 Old mind, New body, Unknown world.

I can feel a warm heat all around me. I try to open my eye's, but the brightness is making it rather impossible. I can say for sure that was the weirdest dream I ever had after coming out of deep dive. As my eye's take in what's around me, my heart take's a drop. It wasn't a dream, how is this possible. I can't see the hud or get help from the admin's. Turn's out everything I thought was a dream, was actually happening.

How can a game be so real. To the point where you get tired and have to use your mind instead of the dive's interface. When I was flying last night it felt like I was free from the worries of my life, but after flying so fast it felt as if my power left me, then the nap attack came. It was as if nothing could hurt me when I was in the air. Is this even scientifically possible to have this kind of realism in a dive game. All my surrounding's are unfamiliar, I have seen every place in Yggdrasil. There wasn't any logical explanation for this entire situation.

I have nothing to indicate where I am or what's around me. 'I'm shit lost' I think to myself. Then a realization hit me. Why not just go up and look around. I spread my large wing's and off I go. I'm still getting butterfly's when I fly. As I reach an acceptable altitude I flap my wing's in place and have a look around. I don't see a village or city anywhere. I look for road's but find none. I must be pretty far out from any people.

I have to think of something, I don't want to be stuck in the wilderness for week's. Flying in a single direction my be a good idea, but that also bring's problem's like not exploring every other direction. I think going a certain distance until I find something will be a good idea. Depending on how warm it's gotten since I woke up in the cold, I seem to already be more north in this unfamiliar land. I should head south until I reach a body of water or until I reach a town. After all most people live in the southern area's for the warmth and shielding for the element's.

I descend from the sky and see a little pond with some vine's growing into it. I take a twig and leaf and put the twig on top of the leaf in the little pond. Seem's this style of compass work's here. The twig is pointing toward's the left of me. I'm glad I didn't head in that direction I was facing when I was flying, because that was east. I should get things sorted out, and by thing's I mean my item's. Last night thinking about a possession of mine made it appear, let's test that out shall we. I think about my sword, The light of Longinus, being in my hand. Then silvery-white crystal's form really fast in my palm. My sword materialized in a second.

Knowing I have this by my side helps me a lot. While my magic is powerful it has a cast time. My sword doesn't. I flex and stretch my wing's out and give a mighty push and off I go. Heading south is my first mission. Let's see what's in this direction shall we.

I begin to fly in the southern direction, I'm not going to fly as fast as yesterday, because it would drain my mind and body like yesterday. It might not be as exhausting as today, I did sorta have an emotional break down. I won't lie, the view from up here is amazing, this help's take my mind off of the problem. This world isn't the Yggdrasil I know and love, but its still beautiful and slightly familiar. Comparing it to earth, it make's me disappointed with the decision's of humanity regarding our planet. Our world could look like this if we were smart about the very thing that give's us life.

~~~Line Break~~~

I am flying high over a river when I notice a dock with a rowboat and a house, it has a wheel that is turned by the water coming down stream. The place look's like it's being taken care of. I land kinda hard on the dock at the end. As I do this, I hear two voice's talking to each other. I can't make out what they are saying. A man and a woman it seem's, this is good, I can ask the NPC's where the nearest town is.

~~~(POV of Lilian Bluefoot)~~~

I was cutting the potato's and meat for the stew that I'm making for lunch. After my husband got back from hunting. I then hear and feel a huge thud rock the house. While the small tremor's finish shaking everything I call out to my husband. "Aaron are you alright!?" I yell from my spot.

He call's out to me. "That wasn't me honey! I thought it was you!" As Aaron yells to me. Well that's strange, it isn't windy or storming out. 'What could have made that sound?' I say thinking to myself. I then hear heavy foot step's coming from out side. I am a little surprised, we have the occasional bandit problem, but Aaron take's care of them. "Sweetie, I think someone is on the dock right now!!" I yell to my husband.

~~~(POV of Aaron)~~~

As soon as I hear my wife utter those word's I grab my weapon and head to her. "Stay behind me and don't look at them." I whisper to my wife. The bandit's haven't been here in a long time, I guess they grew their ball's back after what happened last time. I can hear the foot step's coming closer to the door. I am unsure as to why, but I have a growing fear in my chest. Whoever this person is, they are strong. I get ready for them to bust the door down like they used to.

~~~(POV of Lyatt)~~~

When I reach the door I fold my wing's as good as I can. Seem's I'm going to have to turn my body to get through this door. I slowly knock on it. After a couple of second's I don't get a response, so I knock again. This time I hear a man's voice say a very confusing thing to me from behind the door. "What do you want you ravaging pillagers!!!" I have a confused look on my face.

'I've never heard an NPC say something like this before. It actually sound's like a person and not a puppet programmed to say certain line's.' I think to myself. I open my mouth to speak, hopefully this goes well.

"I'm sorry to intrude, but I'm looking for direction's to the nearest town or city!" I say through the door at the man. "I'm sorry for frightening you, I'm just very lost at the moment, if it help's I'm not a bandit!" I say through the door once again. This guy is my only hope for finding direction's in this place.

I hear footstep's coming to the door and it slowly open's with caution. "Hello there. I'm hoping you can help me find my way." I say in a smooth and gentle voice as to not scare the man. I look at his face and I gotta say, that is one impressive expression for an NPC. It's almost like he is really shocked to see me. My wing's move slightly, that caused the man to hold his breath with a fearful look on his face.

"May I please come in and talk to you. It won't be long I promise." I say to the man hoping for an answer. He open's the door all the way and look's at my helmet.

"Ye...yeah come on in." He say's with apprehension. I've never in my life seen an NPC show fear like this before. Whatever happened to Yggdrasil made everything look, feel, and sound real. I turn my body to enter the house so my wing's don't break their doorway. I then look at the women and see she is visible shaking at the moment. It's like they are scared of me.

"Is it alright if I sit down?" I ask the man. He give's me a look that indicate's why am I even asking him. At this point, I am convinced that this is some form of advanced A.I., Yggdrasil never had a variety of expression's and emotion's like this the 7 year's I played it.

"He...Help yo...yourself." the man say's to me with fear. I hope I can get what I need from them. They look to afraid to talk to me. I head for the couch and sit down. I had to lift my wing's so they could hang off the backside of the couch. I lean back and release a sigh of relaxation. This is the softest thing I have encountered in my time here.

The man look's at me with a surprised look. "So wha...what do yo...you need from us low...lowly mortal's?" I look at him and I think.

'Why would an NPC call himself a lowly mortal?' I say in my head. I get that I'm the highest ranking angel available but, NPC's never talk to player's like that. It is always the usually line's like 'What can I do for you?' or 'Can you help me with this?' Not calling yourself a lowly mortal. This is the perfect opportunity for me to find out where I am.
