In the old town of Trecil, Where joy recided and laughter prevailed. Lived a girl.
Beautiful in her own simplicity,
and mesmerizing in her innocence.
She was no fairy, nor a heroine.
All she was, was a simple girl.
She had her own insecurities, her own judgments, her own issues, her own drawbacks.
Yet, she was beautiful. Beautiful in herself.
Her name was phena.
Phena, was young. She was turning 21 that year.
She was small, avarage height, long brown hair. Dark brown eyes and tanned skin.
She had roundish features.
In her family, it was just phena, her sister Juli and her father, Gun.
Her father was a good man.
Liked across the village, gentle, understanding, sweet what not?
Her sister was rather blunt and bold, but lovely in her own way.
Phena on the other hand, was rather soft and gentle like her father.
Her late mother, was a bold women with a strong sense of justice, and those qualities were shared by her sister.
One Day, Phena was sitting by the window when her sister came to her.
"Dear, can you deliver these riped fruits to Miss Marrie next door ?"
Her sister Juli asked.
"What? Again! I thought you said you would be the one delivering them next week!?"
Phena complained.
"Are you arguing with me right now?"
Her sister said raising an eyebrow.
And that was just enough to scare the little girl.
"Oh.. alright. But next week it HAS to be you!"
Phena said as she stood up grabbing the basket from her sister's hand, and dashed out the door.
"She is so cruel, she lies each time. I cannot recall the last time it was her who went to deliver anything!"
Phena mumbled to herself, for she was too scared of her sister's sharp ears.
She had gotten in trouble just a few weeks ago and was scolded so harshly she felt her soul begging to escape her body.
After she delivered the fruits, she felt this strong urge to go around exploring for the rest of the day.
That would give her some time to not come across the complaints and orders of her sister.
While exploring the eastern side of the village, that she was already aware of, she came across a house.
One, she had never seen before.
"Hmm? Wasn't there an empty plot here? Where i picked up that stray cat from?"
She thought to herself recalling the past incidents that took place there.
She looked inside, to find nothing.
An empty house, rather an 'old empty house'
She opened the door, stepping inside.
Phena was not a person to do something so bold.
But that day, something came upon her.
She looked around. The house was very ordinary, the furniture old and cracked, the floor had holes and so did the walls.
"I could used this sometimes as my safe place"
She thought and turned Around.
And finally opened the door to leave.
But..... something seemed different.
Was it the sun?
The wind?
The clouds?
No, it was none of them.
It was the people!
They were not there anymore!!!
All she could see WERE FUR! AND FUR!
"WHAT IN THE SWEET HEAVENS!?"
she exclaimed.
PEOPLE WERE ANIMALS, OR MAYBE THEY WERE NEVER HUMANS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
They were taking and laughing just like humans did.
And no one seemed surprised by her being there.
A bear who was selling nuts!
And a deer buying fruits.
A rabbit holding hands with a wolf!?
She panicked and ran, wherever she could.
But not a single human was in sight.
She finally stood in front of a cottage catching her breath, that's when she saw.
A Man.
He stood on the balcony of a Castle Upon the Hill.
And in a few moments he turned around and left.
"A HUMAN!?"
she thought.
But he was too far!
And now, She had to reach him.
To know, WHERE ON EARTH WAS SHE!?
