“C-c-can I help you?” The boy said awkwardly. Hannah got the necklace out and showed it to the boy.
“Hannah what are you doing?” The Blacksmith said while putting his hand to his face. Hannah grabbed a piece of paper and started to write. After she’d finished she gave the boy the piece of paper. It said “Do you know anything about this necklace?” the boy looked from the piece of paper to the necklace.
‘This necklace. It looks familiar but. I can’t think where I know it from.’ The boy thought sadly. “I’m not sure. But I’ve seen it somewhere before.” Hannahs eyes lit up with excitement.
Chapter 3 We Meet Again
"Are you saying that you've seen this before?" The Blacksmith said with his eyes widened in amazement.
"I may have. But I honestly don't remember where I've seen it before. Sorry." The boy said sadly.
"Well it can't be helped. But on a serious note you will have to find accommodation." The Blacksmith said calmly. Hannah turned from the boy to the Blacksmith with an angry look.
"Fine." The Blacksmith looked at the boy. "Or you can get a job and pay rent. It's up to you."
"Er. Well it would be difficult to find somewhere because I can't remember anything. I'll be sure to pay my rent in time." The boy then noticed Hannah writing something once again. She gave it to the Blacksmith.
"Yeah I guess that could work as well. Hannah just suggested that you could also work at our shop instead of paying for rent. Just to warn you the job aint easy." He said cheekily. Hannah hit the Blacksmith's leg in annoyance.
"Sorry no the job aint that hard. All you would have to do is to serve the customers and that's it." The boy sat there with a confused look on his face.
"Did I accept the job because I don't remember saying that I did." The boy said worriedly.
"Well no you didn't accept the job we're jus... well I'm just saying what it might be." he said quickly. Hannah started to scribble on another piece of paper and passed it to the boy. It read "What is your name?" the boy looked up from the note and then looked down in sadness.
"I don't know what my name is." He said upsettingly.
"That maybe a problem then... Why don't you come up with one?" The Blacksmith said encouragingly.
"Like what?" The boy said worriedly.
"Well it's your name. We can't think one up for you." The Blacksmith said happily.
'What should my name be... I feel awfully tired all of a sudden I... can't... stay...awa...' The boy fell to sleep quite quickly. Hannah looked at the boy in disbelief.
In the boy's dream the boy was in a wide open white space like he was before.
"Well I guess you needed your name sooner than we thought." The second boy had returned.
"We? Who's we?" The first boy said confusingly.
"Well I can't explain much but... meh." The second boy shrugged. "Anyway that isn't why I'm here. You need your name and I'll give it you."
"So you're finally telling me my name. About time."
"'ey don't get cocky. You've go to do me a favor."
"What favor?"
"Well first you need to know your name."
"Spit it out then."
"Okay. Okay your name is Blaze."
"Finally. I thought when we first met was just a dream... Wait is this a dream?" Blaze asked worriedly.
"Yes and no. This is a dream yes. But no because it's like a communication link for us to speak through."
"Okay that made no sense."
"It won't to you Blaze. But anyway about my favor. Just to make this a bit more fun I'm going to tell you in a riddle." The boy said with a cheeky smile.
"Are you kidding me? I don't know much about myself or where I am and you're telling me riddles" Blaze said frantically. The boy just giggled.
"In a Forest. In an eternal spring. Is a Monster that you must slay." Blaze looked at the boy with annoyance shown on his face.
"I have no clue what the hell that means!" Blaze shouted angrily.
"Good it'll be fun to work it out then. Enjoy." With a smile on the boys face as he faded away.
Blaze woke up in the same bed that he had found himself the first time he came around. He looked to see if the man and Hannah was to be seen. 'Looks like the coast is clear. But that riddle is quite interesting "In a Forest. In an eternal spring. Is a Monster that you must slay." I wonder what it means.' Blaze thought carefully. He tried to move his leg but realized something heavy was on his leg. Since it was dark he couldn't tell what it was. He started to feel around to see if he could make out what it was on his leg. His hand felt around for a few seconds until finally it had made contact with the heavy object. 'What is this? It seems to feel like silk.' Blaze thought curiously. His eyes finally adjusted to the dark room so he could now see what was on his leg. 'It's that girl was it Hannah? I'm not sure. But why is she sleeping there.' Blaze lifted the covers to see if he was wearing clothes to his relief he was. 'Boy wouldn't that be embarrassing if I weren't wearing any clothes' Blaze giggled quietly trying not to wake Hannah. 'I'm not sure if I should just leave without a trace when she's looked after me. I should get her something. But what?' He thought curiously. He then noticed that there were a few empty bottles on a tray. Blaze's eyes just widened. 'I may need to go and soon. But how do I get out of this bed without waking Hannah up?' Blaze looked round to see anything he could use. 'Dam nothing I can use. I guess i could sleep for now. But will that boy appear though... Well only one way to find out.' Blaze lied back down and fell asleep.
The next morning Blaze woke up to find Hannah still with her head on his legs. Blaze let out a sigh. He reached over to Hannah and nudged her. "Hannah. Hannah wake up. My leg is really numb." Blaze complained. Hannah just let out a little moaning grunt and slapped blaze's hand as if to say "Leave me alone just five more minutes."
"You won't be able to get her up that way boy." The Blacksmith said as he was walking up the stairs.
"Okay so how do i wake her up?" Blaze asked curiously.
"Easy tell her something she may want to hear." The Blacksmith said with one eyebrow higher than the other.
'Well the Blacksmith certainly doesn't look like what I'd expected. I was expecting a six packed man who just wore leather shorts. But this guy blows that stereotype right out of the water. This guy is wearing a fur jacket with black jeans. I would expect him to be at least a bit muscly. But he seems to be normal. I wonder how he is even carrying that hammer it looks really heavy.'
"Is everything Okay kid?" The Blacksmith asked worriedly.
"Yeah. Everything is okay... Can i ask what your name is?" Blaze asked curiously
"I will when you tell me yours." The Blacksmith said quickly.
"Oh yeah sorry to be honest I just found out last night. My name is Blaze." Blaze said in a apologetic way.
"Blaze. Nice name. My name's Dwarvian. I am this towns Blacksmith. I hope you remember more things soon Blaze because if you hurt Hannah. You do not want to know what shit I'll put you through."
"So Blaze. What else do you remember?" Dwarvian asked calmly.
"Just my name. But..."
"But what?"
"Either you're going to think I'm crazy or that I'm pulling your leg." Blaze said nervously.
"C'mon spit it out."
"Okay. Okay I found out about my name when this boy came into my dream."
"A Boy?"
"Yeah it's weird he seems to know alot about me. But won't tell me anything. Last night all he told me was my name and a riddle."
"What was this riddle?"
"If I remember right it was "In a Forest. In an eternal spring. A Monster that you must kill." Do you know what it could me?" Blaze said full of hope.
"Hm A forest in a eternal spring... A Monster you must kill. It'd help if it rhymed." Dwarvian said curiously.
"It's a riddle and all you care about is if it rhymes or not. Dwarvian I need to know what it means!" Blaze shouted angrily. Blaze looked at Hannah and astonishingly she was still asleep with her head on his leg. "How long can she go on for?" Blaze laughed.
"Either until I tell her something that she likes or she wakes up at eight a.m." Dwarvian chuckled.
"Is it safe to move my leg?" Blaze asked cautiously.
"I wouldn't unless you want to drag her around for the next two hours Blaze."
"Why? Is it
