The mess room is filled with simple brown wooden tables. They are rough, their edges sharp and not sanded. They are crooked and wobbly. Simple matching wooden chairs are around the tables. The walls are dark, but there are holes for windows. The air smells like freshly baked bread.

I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.

The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation.  Oh? and why be that? The forest behind my village is known to have wicked magical creatures in it.
