A vessel

I woke up and I feel empty. I get out of bed, but I do not recognize where I am. I do not remember what happened and how I am here, I do not remember who I am. I feel empty, like I am dead.

I hear a distant voice; it was something about a foreigner. I was not sure, but I think I am the foreigner they are referring to. I go to the closest door, when I open the door, there is a figure. My eyes were too tired to tell what it was. I suddenly felt a headache and dropped on the ground.

When I woke up, I see the same figure sitting on a chair beside the bed. Still my vision was hazy and blurry. I asked that person what happened, that person sounded like a female, she said “You shouldn’t be able to get up, you have no pulse”.

And then it struck me, I was dead to begin with. I am alive yet dead. That has to be reason I feel empty. She then continued, “You are in no condition to move, you have almost no energy, yet you can think freely. You should just rest and stay here for the time being” she said. I didn’t think much of it, so I went back to sleep since I still felt tired.

The following night, there was a huge “boom” sound coming from outside, and it’s not just 1 explosion sound, there were multiple, if I were to estimate, there were about 10 explosions. I was worried yet I didn’t have the energy. I was still unable to move without completely depleting my energy.

Then there was a loud slam against the door outside the room I was in. Followed up was a sound of a female woman screaming. From the sound a woman screaming, I can only think that she was killed. I tried to move, I got out of my bed. I almost reached the door, but I lost control of my body and could not move. My body could not move, and without a muscle holding them up, my eyelids slid down my eyes. I can still hear what was happening and feel my surroundings even though I can’t respond. I can’t tell what is happening since I can’t see. I hear the door to the room I am in swing open.

The people who came in immediately took a knife and stabbed me with it and it wasn’t a single jab. They attacked with the fury of an animal that was going berserk and fighting over food. But yet, I didn’t feel any pain.

The next day, I finally was able to open my eyes. I opened my eyes to the sight of what seemed to be the whole village, but I couldn’t tell what it was exactly since I didn’t know where I was. I found a badge on the floor, I assumed that it was those people badge for some sort of gang. I remembered about the female scream and went to check. I found the woman dead, and at that time, I realized that I didn’t collapse yet. Not since I woke up for the third time. If only I could be like this last night, I could have maybe protected her in a way. I tried to check for other villagers, but they have seemed to be massacred.

I found a sword near the door to my room. It seemed highly familiar, but I couldn’t think of what it reminded me of. I found a mask which seemed like it was in possession of that woman since I have seen her with that mask. I decided to take it with me as a memento. I do not remember what happened before I woke up in that village except for the woman taking care of me, I will get revenge. The only problem is I don’t even remember who I am, and the only clue I have on those people is that badge. The badge has a weird design, it looked like a dolphin and a raccoon decided to have kids.

I found a carriage that I thought would be useful for travelling.

I found another village; it was quite far away. I got the name of the village I was in, it was called “Village Moze’t”. The village I am in right now is called “Village Cor’t”. It has a very simple name play but I don’t mind. I told the villagers of Cor’t on what happened in Moze’t, and coincidentally I was speaking to the mayor of the village of Cor’t. He said he would let me stay in a for a few nights in the little hotel type of house. He gave me good food as well, not that I can taste it, but I could tell it was nice. I only temporarily forgot that I was just a vessel with a soul inside.

The only thing that was in my mind was that woman who nursed me in the old village, I didn’t even get to know her name. I probably knew her, but I don’t even have my memories.
