@The Wyrm Friend, you are going to have to make a map, even if it's a very basic one. Only because it's going to be hard to keep track of cities, boundaries, and rivers. Also, maps are helpful for visualizing battles. I can try and help, or maybe one of our crew here have experience with basic map making in photo editing software.

Leaf Village

Nesy stumbled into the village of Leaf. There were only a few squat buildings, possibly houses but it was hard to tell, and the streets were hard packed dirt rutted from wagons and carts. People sauntered along their business with their eyes downcast and their expressions dour. Nesy noticed that the people's clothes were threadbare and dirty. However depressing the village looked, though, it didn't have a feeling of violence or meanness about it. The people seemed to regard one another respectfully, and when an old man's wagon tipped over a group of kids nearby stopped to help him pick up the mess.
Nesy approached the group of kids who helped te old man. They eyed him suspiciously as he walked up, "Uh yeah! Hey guys, uhm. Can I meet your elder because apperently I do not know uhm... Where I am and stuff," he said timidly, still dazed from his awakening.

"We don't get to speak to the Elders, um, sir," a small lad frowningly chirped, "but there's a group of people meeting near the town well, you should be able to find someone there. The well's in the center of town, just follow the road, sir."

Nesy politely thanked the boys and headed he direction they pointed. As he went he saw a group of people talking quietly about something that Nesy couldn't quite hear. As he walked up Nesy could see that they were standing in a circle around a large well, at least 4 meters across, that had a narrow stone stairway that circled down into the blackness. Nesy could catch bits and pieces of conversation around him, "...the kid who.. just disappeared... hasn't had water for a week... we'll have to move... kill the whole village... Zebu...." The last word caught Nesy's attention and his head swiveled to the voice who spoke the name.

He saw a tearful young woman talking insistently to an old man in a green robe:

Zebu

Nesy walked in their direction and picked up bits of the conversation, "... you must take the sword and rescue my... a great beast has taken..." the words became clear as Nesy came closer, "..only you have the ability to wield that thing and my baby is down there! Save my little girl Please!!" She pleaded weepily just as Nesy walked up. The old man's eyes went wide for the briefest of a moment and then they returned to stoic.

"I cannot help you my dear," he said kindly, "but the Lords have sent us an archon who will help us. Behold! a Hero has arrived, though of what quality we do not yet know." The woman turned confused eyes on Nesy.

"Ss.ss..sir.." she said uncertainly, "would you help me? my little girl is down there, she is only 7, there's a great beast who has stolen her.." she stopped overwhelmed with sorrow.

"Of course he will, for what hero would turn away from those in need," said the old, wise man, "and it is only a hero who can wield the sword of winds." The old man produces a beautiful sword to a bewildered Nesy:

Wind Sword

"Take the sword young man, and save the girl. When you return you may ask me three questions, and I will aid you on your quest."

Your Quest

Firstly, take the sword and answer Zebu, then travel down the well and fight your way through the dungeon. The dungeon is filled with giant rats, giant spiders, goblin creatures, bats, and a big bad monster at the end. You can create the big bad monster if you want or you can stop writing before you get there and I can create it. When it gets to the fight with the big bad monster you can write out the epic fight yourself or we can do a back and forth fight, I'll leave that decision up to you. Eventually Nesy must kill the creature and rescue the child. Don't feel limited by anything I have set up, let your imagination fly!

Secondly, prepare your 3 questions for Zebu after the monster is killed and the girl is rescued, you'll get to ask them after you clear the dungeon and I'll give you good answers.

Thirdly, the sword is magical, if Nesy concentrates for a moment it can shoot a bullet of air and deal serious damage, but he needs a moment to concentrate.

Lastly, I've never co-wrote a story before so I hope I'm doing ok and you're enjoying this as much as I am. I will pick up writing wherever you choose to stop. Have a good day friend :)

*SkSHSSHHHhhhhh* The pod door opened with a loud hiss of pressurized air. A haze of smoke filled the container; as it cleared it revealed a young man, thin, with shaggy brown hair. He blinked to clear his eyes revealing irises that fluttered between blue, green, yellow, and red. As he looked around he discovered that he was inside of a dimly lit cave. To his left he could see the opening into light.

"Nesy," a girl's voice said insistently, "Nesy wake up, there's no time!" In front of Nesy's face there appeared the face of a beautiful girl, familiar but unknown. "Don't be afraid," she said, "I'm not really here, I'm a hologram, only you can see me, my name is Asra." She smiled warmly, her eyes kind and worried. "There's no time, you must go! Outside of the cave is a path. Follow the path to the town of Leaf. The people there don't know anything of machines, or of the place where you are from. There you must find a man called Zebu, he is an Elder and will help you. I'm running out of power, there's not much time, the people are suffering! You must help them Nesy! you were......" The girl disappeared and the world became dark and quiet once again.

Nesy sits up and can see across the room. There is a sign with strange writing on the opposite wall of the opening to the cave. Under the sign is what looks like candles, flowers, and food as if left for an offering.

Synopsis and Impetus

You've woken up in a pod into a world that does not know technology. The town of Leaf is up ahead and the people who live there are hungry, oppressed, and need your help. Make your way to the town and search for the Elder Zebu.

My Dart throw led me to this prompt:

Every day at the station, you see someone you're attracted to. How would you go about getting yourself noticed?

We share a look, a slight glance, along with a gentle smile and a raising of the eyebrows. It's simple, sweet, safe. She smiles back, a slight blush, and quickly she looks away again. She uses her finger to push her hair behind her ear, I think it's inviting. I like her, and I think maybe she likes me, should I go over and say something? My heart beats a little bit faster, I'm nervous.
The train arrives, the doors open, she disappears in the crowd pushing out and pushing in. I stand on my toes to try and see her, but she's gone. I walk into my compartment of the train, she was two or three cars up from me, a galaxy. I sit down on the open bench and sigh, strangers around me hold their handles and barely give me a look. I sigh and pull out my book, man she was pretty, I think emptily before diverting my attention to my novel.
"Ehem.." I hear and look up, "is this seat taken?" she says, motioning to the seat next to me. My heart is pounding in my chest, she came to find me! ... or maybe this is just an accident. .
"No.. no not at all," I say scooching over, "please." I use both hands to gesture, I've probably overexaggerated, I can't tell, my throat is tight and I'm frustratingly nervous. I hope I'm not sweating.
She sits down, "My name's Sarah," she says timidly but with a smile. She takes a deep breath, "what are you reading........"

History

The Reason You Become a Soldier: To establish the family in the new Republic.
History: Teddy's mother, Martha, was the only child of a wealthy family in the Tallion Empire. She was 16 when her mother and father lost their fortune through a shared addiction to gambling on horse races; they were sentenced to serve life in prison to pay the debt. Before serving their sentence they married their daughter to a 25 year old cobbler named Wolfgang. The only item held over from the vast estate was an heirloom Saber marked with the family insignia of a prancing rooster.
Teddy was born shortly after they were married and grew up caught between his mother's aristocratic nature and his hard working and humble lifestyle. Attaching to his mother he grew up thinking of hard labor as punishment; however, his father raised him with a sense of duty towards the family and he helped his father in the cobbler shop where he learned the fine art of shoe making and leather repair.
Teddy had not made a lot of friends in his life, he rather found that talking to people was difficult, and he much preferred the solace of books. He did teach himself magic tricks with cards and coins because he thought people might be impressed but while many people found his tricks charming in the cobbler shop they only led to a single long term friend, a younger boy named Willhelm, who Teddy called Willy. Willy had an older brother who had died early in the wars Tallion fought against the kingdom of Caywen, and when he found Teddy something clicked and he hadn't left Teddy's side since, somewhat to Teddy's dismay. Willy followed Teddy to this war because he didn't want to loose another brother.
The Schuster's were never fond of the Empire and lived in a small town for away from any big city. When the rebellion happened Teddy's mother decided that their family could find a new fortune as the Republic formed if they supported their efforts in the war. Teddy was sent to pursue soldiering as a career in the hopes their family might be a part of a "new" aristocracy. He showed up to base camp and got his uniform, there he met the people who would, in time, become closer than family.

Sir Briggs- Teddy's Horse

Sir Briggs was a racing horse who was retired young after he broke a leg and threw his jockey. He was sold as a plow horse but had a problem with being aggressive and hard to control. He was sold again, and then again, until he finally was brought down to Haventown and sold to Teddy's family for cheap. The horse is strong, and fast. He has taken a shine to Teddy in response to the boy's gentle touch and will nip at others if he thinks they're a threat.

State Of Paranoia

Nala writhed on the ground in pain, her legs useless but she still had the function of her arms. She saw Talon getting up just in front of her and work weakly to plunge his sword. "Well that was rude!" came the exclamation from the witch and to Nala's dismay she felt heat above her and then saw her brother let go of his sword and with a yelp of pain, fall to the ground. Nala reached to her belt and pulled out her short vegetable knife, she slammed into the witch's foot with a grunt.

===================

The blood hit Talon's eyes and added to the sting he felt in his hands. His body was weak and slow and not reacting to his will. He fell to the ground barely conscious, his head smacking the pavement.
