Which way?
Check out the babbling brook
As you walk down the path you begin to smell smoke and the sound of the babbling brook becomes louder until you find yourself on the bank of a small babbling brook. It's about 4 feet wide and only a few inches deep. You quickly hop over and find yourself in a shaded clearing with a small open stone structure. There's a fireplace with a fire in it inside.
You walk up to the structure and are surprised to find an dark skinned woman stoking the fire, dressed in a long and flowing dress, but a simply cut. She has very short curly hair.
Your thoughts about the crystals ebb into your mind, but this is also the first person you have seen since arriving here.
"Hello? Excuse me?"
The woman turns towards you, leaving the poker in the fire. She stands up and walks towards you. You take a step back but she hugs you warmly.
"Hello stranger." She says, after she releases you from her embrace. She steps back and smiles at you, her blue/grey eyes twinkling in the firelight.
You're thrown a little off balance by her forwardness with her embrace "Um... hi. Um... I just woke up on the beach, I don't seem to remember how I got here, or even, where here is. I guess, uh, where am I?"
"This is the island of Pacifica, sorry to hear about your memory, come sit by the fire, let's see if we can figure some stuff out."
Pacifica... the name mulls around your brain as you walk towards the fire and sit down. "I don't know a place called Pacifica... I assume it's in the Pacific ocean."
"Pacific ocean? Never heard of it."
Hmm... something's not right, unless this is a secluded civilization that hasn't heard the common names for places around. "What country is this?"
"Pacifica obviously."
"Um, hmm..." If she doesn't know the names you know this could be difficult.
"How do you know English?" If she's that secluded how is she even talking to you?
"English? Is that what the language is called? It's just what I grew up learning, I honestly never thought to give it a name..."
This woman is very strange, but very interesting "What's you name?
"My name is Femi, what's yours?"
"My name is John Doe"
She looks surprised "You have two names? I've never met anyone with two names before, how did you get the second one?"
You blink, "I was born with the second name."
"Wow, you are very strange Mr. John Doe" she says, smiling at you.
Laughing you shrug it off "John will do just fine Femi."
"So what other mysteries do you have ?"
What do you tell her?
