I was siting down on my comfortable chair (which is a staircase, of course) and went to my garden to harvest some crops.

Farming will bring back memories of my job back at The City, and I liked it. Although I missed the people there, I was meant to be here. It felt more like home.

Smiling, I looked at my enchanted sword. After defeating the skeleton king, I had found a map and went on a quest to find some other enchanted books. I learned a great deal from that.

I grabbed my bag of wheat and went towards the market, where you could sell and buy things of all sorts.

Even though I made The Kingdom, I decided not to be its ruler. Instead, I let Caron, a person I met, to rule as he had shown qualities of a leader.

I went to the wheat shop and sold my wheat at a good deal. Putting my emeralds in my pocket, I was heading back to my comfortable home but a familiar ring of a bell froze me in my tracks.

That bell was for emergency, simply made by some iron. To ring it, you have to simply hit it with a mallet.

I ran to the Town Square where Caron addressed the citizens on a rised platform.

I found a spot closer to the front as I am always interested what news Caron had for the people.

But this was different. His face was downcast and his voice was serious and saddened as he spoke.

"My daughter is missing," Caron announced. "This morning, I found her room empty and a smashed opened window. If anyone could get her back, I would be more than grateful."

I was surprised that a heavily guarded place was breached. Caron stepped off the platform to return to the castle.

As the people left, some anxiously discussing things, I began to ponder on the situation.

Rose was Caron's only daughter, which makes sense if someone wanted to kidnap her, but they should have kidnapped Caron instead. And Rose is not really that special... right?

Perhaps I could go to the library, I thought.

The Kingdom library is filled with books from many places that I don't know of or even heard of.

I nodded to myself decisively and walked towards my house, still thinking of the situation.

But as the sky grew darker, something told me that things are more complicated than I think.
