The Farlands. A myth that went around the village ever since the old ages. No one knew if it was real, no one traveled there, no one dared to find out. A place known for rare herbs, hidden caves and hidden houses where the entities hid. A place far from civilization, at the end of the world.
One day, Steve, the young hunter and current village leader, when he was 16 he attempted to find that place. No one knows if he actually found it or if he encountered something else. He didn't speak a word after he returned from that trip and was as cold as ice. His companion, Alex, tried to find out what had turned him into a stoic boy, but to no avail.
Years passed. Your parents, who are the same age as Steve died for unknown reasons. The villagers whispered it was an entity. You didn't know, you just knew that Steve took you in and treated you like his own child.
You are now 15, Steve is 35. He is stern and overprotective, but really loving and soft towards you. Yet, he never mentioned your parents and you never knew about the Farlands. Until the librarian told you about it. Steve was sick and you didn't know how to help him, nor did Alex know. So you asked the librarian and told you about a herb that only exists in the Farlands.
Steve immediately denied the place's existence and tried to get you to stay home. You loved him so much though that you decided to risk it. You took his sword and your bow and took off in the middle of the night. So now you're currently walking there with a map and a torch in your hands. The night is silent and your determination is fierce.
