Episode 1: Home is where my heart is...

You  make your way on Yaken Straight. Your fear grows with every step towards home. You pass several different shops, caravans, and folks walking in the streets. Again, those who know you and your family wish their blessings along the way. 

You walk further for many minutes until your eyes fall upon another stranger in black, leaning on a wooden post. You drop some coins to pretend that you are looking behind you, as you see another stranger in black walking at a distance. You stand, then continue your journey towards home. 

"I am being followed, but why?" you say. Pulling the straps to tighten them on your shoulders, you begin to jog, hoping to find an alley to hide.  

You pass the second stranger, and say, "Let us run..." 

You begin to run as fast as you can. You notice that the second stranger is no longer leaning on the wooden post. Your formation has prepared you for long runs in case of being stranded on the desert roads and cannot find one to provide a ride to the city. You run so fast, moving around and through the busy street. Suddenly you find an alley, and you make your move.

You make your way through the alley when suddenly the third stranger stands at the middle of the alley. You turn to your friends and look to find a way to escape. You walk backwards and mumble, "Run back to Yaken", but you turn around only to be cut off by two strangers in black. 

You hear the foots steps behind you as you hear, "The daughter of Enop is now ours." 

"What of the others?" Says one of the strangers blocking the alley way from your escape."

"Find and bring them to the safe house. We will get the Stone from Enop by using his daughter as ransom."

They grab you, covering your mouth. You try to fight back but the voice of the Stranger says "You will be silent or die in this alley, daughter of Enop. No one will know." You feel a strong arm wrap around your neck and your eyes slowly close.
