You woke up confused. You had been sure that the dragon was going to eat you like it had your mother but here you were alive. A female voice to your right said, "You're awake. How are you feeling?"
"Sore," you said sitting up and wincing.
"Drink this," the voice said holding a bottle to your lips.
You take a little sip and immediately spit it out. It tasted horrible like it might have come out of a toxic swamp. "What is that?" you asked making a face.
"It's a healing potion," the voice said. "I know it tastes like goblin piss but it will make you better. Now drink."
You shut your eyes and drank the potion down quickly. Once you had you felt a warmth spread throughout your body and then fade taking the pain away. You opened your eyes and looked around. You were in a forest clearing in what looked like a gypsy camp. There were five other people with you. A teenage girl who was the one that had been speaking to you, a male elf, a female drow, a male dwarf, and a female Orc. "Who are you?" you asked.
"I'm SerenityLove," the girl said placing a hand on her chest. "The elf is Mordin, the drow is Vintra, the dwarf is Hemdinich, the Orc is Tula, and the fae is Pollen."
"There's a fae here?" you asked looking around.
"Right here," Pollen said flying right in front of your face. You fell back startled and she said, "Sorry for scaring you."
"You just startled me," you said sitting back up. "What happened and why am I here?"
"We found you on the street with a dragon about to eat you," SerenityLove said. "We were able to drive the dragon off and brought you here to our camp."
"Have you always been around here?" you asked.
"Just started testing the game I see," SerenityLove said. "We travel around and have been here for a couple of days. We heard about the dragon attacks on the radio and when we saw the dragon flying overhead we figured we should see if we could help."
"How many?" you asked.
"There were very little casualties," SerenityLove said. "One was eaten and three were crushed."
"We should see if we can pick up the dragon's trail," Hemdinich said. "What do we do with the lass though?"
"We need to get her back to her game parents," Tula said hitching up horses to a couple of wagons.
"They're dead now," you said with a little sadness. "My father was killed in another village and my mother was the one the dragon ate."
"Well we need to see if you have any relatives," Mordin said.
"So we'll take you back into the village and see if you have any other relatives," SerenityLove said. "If not then you're welcome to come with us."
As it turns out you didn't have any other relatives so you were an orphan now. Since SerenityLove had said you could join them you decided to do just that. As you left the village Vintra sat beside you in the female wagon and said, "You are taking the first steps in an adventure. When we stop we'll see what you would be good at."
