In the south centre square in a tavern with medieval ambience, always with local customers and travelers, with light scent of meat. Quiet music played with isntrument like lute. In the corner on the right sat middle aged men with his lute, he would play some music every day till midnight. 

,,Ay, look who came back from walking through town, you came later then last time, did ya got lost again bahaha!'' said Garn the musician with his lute instrument to Alexander.

Alexander which he was reffered as the boy by Garn, was exploring the southern part of Ekronor, he was here for three day now. In this time he found small library where he studied the language,history by little. The library was only for Merchants and people that where scholars, and other things like some rich people but he didnt had problem with that because Alexander got the look of a high noble, because of his looks.

,,Hello Gran, are you playing the piece I told you from yesterday?''

Gran started to play it smothly and slowly, the piece that ALexander told him was from his world, called greensleves.

Ollen came from the backdoor with a guide with his home made brew.

,,Oi boy how was you day in the town, you find the path to the small bazaar right? You find what you needed?''(people that live in South of Ekronor are calling it town),,

Alexander sat at the table in the middle close to the bar. 

,,I must say i didnt got lost like last time. I found the path to the bazaar with the shops but i couldn't find what I needed. But, While I was walking back to the tavern I found the alchemy store and I found myself a job.'' Alexander sat proudly.

,,That's very wonderful, I didnt know that you are alchemist, I tought that you would play music at the centre of the square like Gran, but better'' Came from upstairs Oliya, wife of Ollen.

,,Hmm, I can play better if I got better instrument, hhmm'' Gran replied to Oliya. Alexander, Ollen and oliya with some local customers laughed.

,, Good afternoon Mrs. Oliya. I might look like a noble and know how to play music. But I wanted to work something that I'm more good at.''

Ollen and Oliya looked suprised at him. When Alexander came to the tavern the night to sleep, everyone looked at him as lord of the City, even Gran made mistake while playing and seeing what does a noble do in the southern of Ekronor. The next day he introduced himself better as Young traveller that is looking to stay some time in Alchenia. He told them that he isnt an Alcenian noble, but he comes from very far away. From that moment they called him boy, and he helped around the tavern since he didnt had much money as a thanks for letting him stay longer.

,,So that's why you are good at making brew and cooking, I for second tought that time you were a chef that is looking for new recipes. But i never saw you use magic'' said Ollen.

Alexander scrached his head with a small smile.

,, My great grandma tought me alchemy when I was very young together with my grandma. So I learned it. But I alchemy can be without magic so i dont need that''

Oliya came with stew and brew at Alexander's table while he was talking with Ollen, where he was puting the bottles with brew on the shelf behind the bar.

,,So you are an alchemist tought by your Greatgrandma, wow she really is old''-,,She passed three years ago, she was 113 years old'' Alexander said.

,,Let here spirit be with the gods and their greater. As an alchemist you sure are young.'' Ollend said.

,,No, I am not an alchemist like the others, you can say I am something like that but not as my proffesion. It's just I can work with here.''

By the time they talked while Alexander was eating the food stew with mushcrooms with some beast meat, tasting like pork and chicken together.

After the food Alexander left the tavern and walked towards the gate, he wanted to go to the lake that was close. It looked beutiful with sand earth and some small forest surrounding it from the west. It passed time since he last say lake as beautiful as that. 

He arived at the lake, the sun was seting down behind the hills. walked close to the water on the small like beach beside the water and looking at it towards the sunset. He turn towards the sunset and looked straight, at the red sun that was bigger then the earths sun. Sitting down on the sand earth.

Time passes, enjoying the peace, quietness. ,, Ahh...So three days here, three days peace. It's like a dream.'' Since he was the only human from earth, alone, with no family, colleagues or friends, nothing all alone in an unknown place. These day while he found place to stay and stabilize to think about everything it happened. 
It was the first time in yers that he found calmes and peace. Everything that made him broken, worn out and nihilistic it doesnt exist here.

,, Finaly I can now do what i want to with no one controling me, but what do i really do, do I do what i need to or what i want to? I cant call this freedom, or a dream, maybe a punisment,no...no..I was this close as one small step to get excomunicated by my family from the organization, so am now? ahhh''

He looked at the sky, trying to find logic somehting that will lead him towards his life now. 

His time at the Organization in the past 5 years were hell to him, with the events that occured those years his family that was the head of council of the organization was one step to excomunicate him from the family. 
Although he is in this world he also could count this as excomunication.

For the past days he would idle aroung the town trying to find something, and now at the lake enjoying this time.

,, The job at the alchemist was nice thing that i found, i will be his worker to find resources for some silver coins which is nice. This city is perfect, queit, peaceful, the citizens are friendly and the place is free from any threat. I could start over here as some ordinary boy, damn i could travel the world explore new things....Since this is a world where magic exists amnd other creatures like in the novels and games, movies.''

Time passed, night has come and Alexander passed the gate. He returned to his room in the tavern. Gran was playing some music, the owners where working I greeted them and went to my room.

Left my coat on the chair and I went to bed tommorow i needed to go to the alchemy store and start my fisrt job in this world.

I was in the store and the owner that was old person, demihuman beastmen. He was nice with his deep quiet voice.

,,Good mornig master''

,,Hello Helmy, you came bit early, very good''

He gave me a recipe with the ingridients i needed to gather at the bazaar for potions.

He also gave me some money for them.

Like this time passed I would clean, put in order the potions, sell them, gather ingridients. Some times master would acompany me when we needed to go deep in the forest to gether some plants,and at the bazaar when foreign merchents where coming, so they wouldnt scam me for more expesnive price.

This would go for two weeks, Alexander would by the time get adapted to the enviroment and his language came more natural, but still got his accent on. Every everning he would go to the lake and spend time till the sun fully sets down.

It was good, it was something i needed, right?

One day he was walking, and he would see parents walking with their children at the local square close to the store. He felt the happines of the simple life, just lviing with the loved ones, and passing time with them and job simple. His sollitude made him harmonious. While cleaning the store, he got a tought that passed his mind.

He made small smile ,,maybe, yes''

He will spend time here.

The day ended, he returned from the lake.

In the midle of the night screams could be heard outside, Alexander woke up from the screams he heard outside. 

Loud bang on his door, it was Ollen ,,Boy! Get UP! The City is Burning!''

Alexander looked outside, soldiers holding torches and firing the houses, stores, whole square. People were screaming and runing the gates where being strong guarded by the soldiers. ALexander took the lab coat and put it on him. He want ouside. Ollen and Oliya where looking at the tavern being put on fire nby the soliders.

,,Why are the soildiers burning the City?(I hope its not what i think)''

Ollen looked him shocked,, There has been an outbreak of some disease''

Ekronor had epidemic outbreak ,, Knew it'' Alexander said to himselft
