WHO AM I?

The wind whistles through the night, the wolves howling, owls hooting and in the middle of that a boy lies in the middle of the road, unconscious and in what seems like bloodbath. 

He slightly opens his eyes and scans the area. He speaks softly " Where.... am I? " . He gets up slowly and whimpers through the road. " I need to get help. ". He collapses on the ground. " Why... am I so... weak? " He touches his forehead and looks at his hand " Oh, so that's where the blood came from." He attempts to crawl towards a tree and in order to sit next to it. " I'm going to die if I don't do something abou.... " He feels a chill up his spine . " There's something behind me isn't there. " He turns his head to witness a creature he's never seen before. It was a mountain of red oozing slime almost blood like. It forms tentacles from its slime and wraps them around the boy. " What is that? " It wraps it's tentacle around his leg in order to crush it. He screams in unbearable pain. He shouts in desperation " HELP! " . He starts feeling a little dizzy. He paused and  laughs " Who am I kidding? Of course there's no one in a forest in the middle of the night. " He pauses. He smiles once more " Its best if I just accept my fate. It's not all bad though, atleast I can say I lived an honourable li... " He pauses again. " Did I really live an honourable life?" He pauses, " Why... can't I remember anything?. Oh well, it doesn't matter, my life's screwed anyway. " The creature opens its mouth and slowly tries to devour him. A girl shouts from the distance, " Ventus ( wind ) Tarot: 5th Card: Tempest Arrows: Shower! ", multiple silver arrows wrapped in winds pierces the creature from above, it let's go off the boy, as he falls she dashes and catches him. 

She leans him against a tree. She speaks softly, " You're going to be alright. Just hang in there." She faces the monster, " Hey punk, you're going to die here and now ". It forms more tentacles, hardens the very tip and attacks the girl. 

She shouts, " Ventus Tarot: 4th Card: Silver Staircase " she forms thin circular platforms of wind from behind, which she hops from one to the next to dodge the incoming attack swiftly. " You're not gonna defeat me that easily. " A card comes out of her bag. Ventus Tarot: 2nd Card: Howling Night Gale ", three slashes of wind appear and cut through it like butter. " You like that? Have some more! ", more slashes appear but the creature splits up and scatters in different directions in order to escape. " Oh no you don't! Ventus Tarot: 5th Card: Tempest Arrows: Scatter. " The arrows scatter in different directions towards the bits off the monster and successful hit each part! " Bullseye! Hope ya rot in hell! " She laughs hysterically as the monster turns to dust. " That was fun! And I've been itching to try out that fifth card on the perfect opponent! Where ya impressed? ", she faces the boy who passed out again. " Oh no! You're gonna kick the bucket if I don't do something aren't ya?". She dashes towards him and carries him. The boy softly speaks in whispers " Who... are you..?" He passes out.

A beam of light hits his eye. He finds himself in a cottage with bandages wrapped around his head. " Did that girl do this?". He scans the room. The girl enters through the door frustrated, " I don't really get it. Why won't Daisy let me milk her, honestly! She's a cow for piets sa.. " she notices that the boy's awake. " Oh, sorry for the noise so early in the morning. You were sleeping so soundly I just decided to go outside and do some farm work while you were sleeping. " She puts the bucket of milk and basket of eggs on the floor, " How rude of me, I didn't even introduce myself. " She walks up to him. " I'm Isabel Gold and you?" , the boy answered " I'm.. " he pauses and then continues " well I... honestly don't remember my name. "  Isabel speaks " You don't remember huh? Did that monster knock you around that hard that you lost your memories? ". He answers, " No, I don't think that's the cause because I still didn't remember it even before the monster appeared. It's like I've forgotten who I am. " Isabel speaks " Well one thing's for sure. You're definitely not from here.  What is that you're wearing anyway? ". He answers, " Well, it's a hoodie. " Isabel speaks once more, " A hoo.. hoo.... hoodie?  I've never heard of such attire. " The boy speaks , " You haven't huh? " Isabel speaks " Where do you come from and how did you get here? " He thinks for a moment, " Well, I'm not sure how I got here or where I'm from. I don't remember anything remember?" He sighs and continues " This is so frustrating." 

They stay in silence. The boy attempts to break it, " I never thanked you for rescuing me last night, thank you. " Isabel smirks, " it's not that huge of a deal ". He pauses for a moment," I just remembered something, what were you using the other day? That thing you did with the wind and stuff. " Isabel confused," Huh? Oh you mean my magic. " She forms a small tornado in her palm. " You've never seen magic before?". The boy stares in awe. He speaks in an almost excited tone, " That's awesome. I don't know why but I'm so excited just by looking at it. How did you do it?". Isabel confused, " You've never seen magic before? I was positive you had some experience with it since I saw some Tarot Encryption Cards with you?".  The boy confused, " What are tarot encryption cards?" Isabel speaks, " Well tarot encryption cards are special tools that decipher your magic in order to reveal what type of magic you use and as you get stronger, each card reveals a spell. I figured you knew since I found those in your pocket. ", she points at a deck of white cards she put on a chair beside the bed. The boy, " I don't have.. " he looks at them " those were in my pocket? " He stared at them in confusion. 

The boy shouts in anger, " WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON!!?"
