She is Rennala, queen of the full moon.
"I hope you are safe Orion"
Orion (P.O.V)
-I open my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling, looking at it in a daze for what seems to be minutes, recalling the events that transpired.
'Haha... it seems that it was futile to fight against him at my condition, I was too carless thinking I'm all powerful, only to be proven wrong'.
the silence that was in the room was broken by roars outside coming from afar.
'hmmm...dragons...'
I get up to sit at the edge of the bed only to see my bloodied figure with bandages in the mirror.
'one of them seems to care enough to put me in this...'looking around I see it's a shack 'the one keeping it up is doing a good job'.
There is a table with a candle on it and some necessary furniture here and there, it's not that clean.'well it is a shack it's already impressive enough'.
I hear footsteps coming to the direction of the door and I can sense that whoever this person is she is hostile. so I get up hide behind the door ready to strike a any given moment.the door open and a big guy enter.I got behind him without Delay and chocked him to death. I searched him and found nothing seems to be a tarnished not a goodone at that I can sense good and bad don't know how or why I just can since I was a kid.looking at a corner of the shack I found my armor and weapons neatly folded.
'Nice...'
I wear my armor and get out to find where I was.
"Red sky, rot everywhere howling and barking where the hell am I...." I mumbled to myself.
I can see what seems to be abandoned town a little far away I begin my journey there to hopefully find where I was.
I killed some giant dogs along the way and a group of zombie looking men.
'seems there is only mindless peoples here...'
I got keen senses due to my bloodline, so as I aproached I hear more and more painful groans and sobs from what seems to be a girl. I made a little detour around some stairs and continued my way to the cries and sobs, passing by some mages and crazy vilaggers?.
I found a dog near a rundown shack.
'there a lot of them in this region it seems'.
it saw me with his shining red eyes and barked running at me,I prepared my trusted Katana channeling minimal amount of magic to it waiting for it to approach me more, when it was a 5 feet away from me I slashed at the dog the force of the slash created wind pressure and a blue arc shot towards it cutting it in half, blood splashed everywhere some of it on my armor.
hearing soft breaths from the shack I go there finding an old man with red robes he looked at me without any emotion in his eyes and said,"not so long before you a tarnished came here seems a lot of you are here today wonder why?"
"I don't even where I am so...yeah"I replied.
"perhaps you are we new tarnished then-"I cut him off "no I'm not 'new'"
"then how don't you know that you are in Caelid?"he asked softly.
'this.... is caelid?' I think looking around dumbfounded.
'I remember fighting.... who did I fight I can-'
"ugh.." I groan holding my head.
3rd (P.O.V)
The red robed man look at the tarnished before him in concern and got up to help him.
"what is it?"he asked
orion tried to stabilize himself and spoke "I can't remember... or more precisely my memories are blurred".
"why didn't I realize this before?"he spoke outloud to no one in particular "I only 'remember' 3 people by their faces only no name or anything other than their appearance"
Getting out of his thoughts orion look at the man helping him and said "can I stay here for sometimes I will be out of your hair in when the sun reaches its highest point".
The man looked at him with calculative eyes saying "no problem I need your help too you seem strong you effortlessly killed that dog with your strange Katana and getting here is no easy feat so are you willing?"
"No problem"orion said, not talking about waking up in a shack just some kilometers away.

1hour and a half later
Orion (P.O.V)
I was ready to go after resting a little bit and calming myself. I need to find these three people when I can they seem important they may know more about my past.I look at the man resting on his chair eyes closed, he asked me to help a girl up the cliff besides us, seems she was the one I heared moaning in pain, I forgot about her tottaly and was going up to see what was up when he said, "you can't help her without this..." he presented a golden needle to me,"give her this, the tarnished I talked about got me the needle but couldn't get it to her because he was busy with something urgent, you just need to bring this to her".
"I'm going to her now."
"her name is Millicent."he said
I just nodded at him and left.
some minutes later I began to approach the sobbing more and more.I see that its coming from what seems to be a destroyed church, I got there and found a young woman with her right arm missing some blood dripping from the hidden wound her short red hair was a mess and her green eyes full with tears.
"you should go away"
