You wake up in the middle of a dirt path in the forest, and the sun is nearly down. You don't know where you are or why you're there. How did you end up there? Unknowingly, you stand up and begin to walk, but as you go, you catch flashes and glimpses of events. You do not know the people you're seeing, yet somehow they seem strangely familiar. Slowly, you begin to notice a light. You cross a small bridge and see that the light is some sort of ceremonial fire. A girl stands there, surrounded by red butterflies. Her hair is a blinding white, and she wears a white and red kimono. Her feet are bare; clearly, she is not in the attire for someone who is hitchhiking. You approach her and ask softly,"Where am I?"
"The lost village," she says, her smile kind. It puts you at ease.
"Um...well...how do I get back home?"
"Simple. Follow my instructions and you shall receive what you are looking for."
"Home?"
"Something else. Another hidden desire that you do not yet know or do not wish to admit. But if you can handle admitting to this desire once you receive it and follow my instructions directly, you may be brought home."
"I...suppose I understand. So what do I do?"
"Go into the village. I will be there to help you when you need me," she smiles, then walks off. Following the path further, you go into the village, and you see a woman walk by and then just...disappear?
Follow her instructions. Go where she tells you. And do not, I repeat, do NOT, mess with those that try to approach you. They may not be of this living world any longer.
