Jaune woke up the next morning with a tired expression. He thought what he had encountered the other day.
"Was it a bear, a lion?" No, it felt more like a human. "Was it a humanoid?" He wasn't so sure, but it was the feeling.
He then ate his short breakfast he made by skewing mushrooms on burning charcoal. Then, he collected as many sticks and stones as possible, made arrows and two slings, knives, axes, and prepared leather armour to cover where he needed it. He then practiced his slinging skills outside and archery skills, practicing until he hit every six targets within one minute and each projectiles hit deep into them. He had to be prepared if these humans are hostile, otherwise he would be eaten by cannibals.
While practicing he thought of a good idea. Why not hunt one of them down and study what it was. Maybe he could study the language and know what existed around here.
Thinking this wasa good idea, he gathered his gear; a tent, quiver with arrows and a bow, bag with his two slings and smooth stones, his two knives, his axe, some dried food, a small pot, a cup, and his fire kit, namely a firebow and firesticks. He then set out into the forest, praying that his crude home will not be destroyed.
He walked through the forest for a whole day sitting down to take short rests at a time. While he sat and took short breaks he made some tiny crafts like a book made of clay like those used during the Roman times. He also made some toys that he could entertain himself. For example, like a stick that was the shape of a gun. He played with it while he traveled through the forest, aiming and pretending to shoot at the animals and birds flying.
But he stopped as he neared the edge of the forest. He sat down and took a rest to prepare for the night and prepared his tent. He wrote down in his clay book, "Stopped to prepare for nightfall. No humanoid in sight." He looked from the direction from where he came from and looked at the sun. He then wrote, "Went east from nine o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon. I have traveled for at least 15 miles." He ended in his clay notebook.
Suddenly he heard a rustling of the bushes. He grabbed his bow and an arrow. He then aimed at the bushes at his back. He then surprised to see a medieval stone well, with a simple wheel and axle design. By the well was a small girl, most probably eighteen years old, that was carrying a bucket filled with water. She had dark brown hair and had beautiful blue eyes. She wore clothing similar to the middle-class of the medieval era. She had a cute expression in her face and had whote skin similar to those medieval Europeans.
Jaune was surpised. He did not expect to find a human, especially a girl, on his first day of finding humans. He wanted to kidnap this girl and try to understand her language or stuff like that but he decided not to since it was a very bad decision especially since it was a girl with a high intellect. He decided to strike up a coversation with her. Looking at the floor and found a stick beside him. He smiled and planned to step on it to get her attention. He hoped he could accidentally fall to cause her to come help.
But before he could step on the stick, he heard a crack. Three men came out of the bushes and surrounded the little woman. Two of them held her hands tight while the other one spoke out, "What a fine specimen we have here for our fun tonight." He said with a grin. "Maybe she can please us well."
"Please, let go of me." The little girl pleaded. "Please, I beg you."
She was then slapped by her right cheek, shuttin the next words from leaving her lips.
