Aggressor of Time & Universe

Chapter 1 : The Drifted Girl and a Mysterious Man



It is a lovely sunny and windy days in a small secluded fishing village. Hot Water Village is home to roughly 500 villagers where fishing and wood hunting as their main source of food and economy. The village have their own martial art known as Silat that is learned within the villagers and passed down for generations. It is the symbol, culture, pride, and self defence of the Hot Water Villagers against mobs such as pirates. It may not be an army, but the martial artists have kept the villagers in peace for hundred of years.

Luna is a young oriental woman, a trait local to the Hot Water Village. Despite her short stature of 160 cm, she is very strong, brave, wills of steel, and vigil while at the same time being elegant, gracious, and lady-like. She likes the color blue and pink, making cherry tree blossom and iris as her favourite flowers, though iris is not locally available.

Luna is trained in the local martial artist with a double sword as her primary weapon. She will visit the sea to fetch some fishes and since the jungle is on her way, she will pick up some woods in the jungle. It is an ordinary great day where she can smell the scent of damped forest and hear the sound of crushed dry leaves she steps on. She arrives at the beach and sat down, appreciating the view of the endless ocean ahead, the horizon that splits the sky and the sea. It was windy as the smells of sea water fills the air and the sand hit her traditional blue yukata.

As Luna admiring the sea, suddenly she felt dizzy and vertigo. Everything around her seems to rotate and she could not tell apart the sea and the sky. She could not felt the sand she is standing on. Hallucination it might be, she felt the sea tide rages towards her, like a tsunami. As she could barely stand, the sea water swallowed her whole. She struggles and scream in pain and moments later, she passed out.

Luna have been unconscious for a significant amount of time, but for her, it did not felt long as she woke up adrift to an unfamiliar place. The sandy beach became rocky, and the surrounding terrain changed, Even the air felt different. Her weapon is still with her after searching beneath nearby rock and her clothe slightly teared. She became cautious but not panic as she steel herself to overcome any possibilities.

(Note: this is not my character)

The old fisherman had seen many strange things over the years. His time in the Falcon Wars had made sure of that. It was because of this, that he reacted with little surprise when he saw the young woman awakening on the beach. What DID take him by surprise was her features. Yellow skin, slanted eyes, some kind of fey perhaps?

A strong, superstitious part of him considered leaving the strange woman there. But then he saw how she shivered in the cold, how her beautiful robes, all ready unsuited for the cold weather clung wetly to her form. He remembered the stories of old, how the spirits and fey blessed those who helped strangers in need, and looked down on those who did not.

Slowly, hands wide to show he meant no harm, he approached the exotic creature.

"Greetings, young lady." he said. Bowing as though in the presence of a queen.

It was in the evening, as the sun is very close to the horizon when she woke up. Luna draw her double sword and get into a fighting stance as a stranger approaches her.
“Stay back!” she warned the old man, being cautious.
From her eyes, the old man can tell that she really mean it. Having experience in war, he can tell the difference between an amateur stance and the expert one, even though her art is very unfamiliar.
“Don’t worry child. I did not come to hurt you,”he said softly and politely, as he lower his fishing harpoon down.
“See? I am unarm now.”

Luna judges that the man can not yet be trusted. Seeing as he lower his weapon, she slowly sheath back her double swords, but keep her hand very close to her. She notice the man have very distinctive appearances but she is not new to seeing foreigners.
“What is this place,” she asked the old man in a normal tone.

“You are within the Kingdom of Agros. A kingdom known for it busy ports and trades,” he explained with a smile on his face. The old man notices it is getting dark.
“It’s getting dark and you are soaking wet. My house is not far from here. You should change that wet clothe of yours, or you going to get sick.”

Luna was skeptical at first for his offer but accepted judging him as a kind old man. Still on guard and cautious, she follows the old man through a pebble pavement. The woods are very different than her hometown. The trees are further apart, and there are less bushes. It is even colder here. She picked up a sharp stick from branch and used it as a hair pin to organize her long dark hair.

They arrive at cottage after roughly 10 minutes of walking. The cottage is a single storey house, made of rock, and has plants and leaves crawling all over the wall. The old man was greeted by an old woman, which is most probably his wife.
“Come in dear, you should change your clothe,” she said in a very soft, mother-like tone.
