Danmachi: Bell Cranel adventurer extraordinaire!

Ruby first night and Bell flying lessons.

Ruby Rose was staring blankly at the night sky. The moon seemed smaller…and it was not shattered. 

'Maybe I'm in a part of the world where the moon rotation made it look like it was whole? But where in the Four Kingdoms would that be? Is that even how astrology works?' She mused quietly, her body wrapped by a hide of some animal around her shoulders, the campfire near her providing extra warmth to fight off the chill of the night.

"Here you go." Said a woman clad in simple leather armor while passing her a wooden bowl of…some sort of soup in it. Ruby didn't know if the soup had a name or if it was just something made randomly by what the people here had.

She saw veggies and bacon. Good enough for her! Without waiting much longer, she started eating it. 

"Thanks" she told in between the first and second spoonful of soup. After making it clear that she was not a treat, the party of three apologized for attacking her and provided her with a blanket and a spot around the campfire.

Ruby suspected they would not believe her claims so easily if not for the fact that she had only pajamas on her while in the middle of the woods.

"Jeez, you must have been hungry." The woman told her as she watched Ruby devouring the soup.

The girl in question paused for a second and looked at the woman. "Comfort eating." She explained simply and resumed her meal.

Normally her comfort food is either strawberries or cookies, but she didn't have those, so the soup will need to suffice for the moment.

"Oh" the leather armor-wearing woman replied simply. "You said you just appeared here? Teleported from your bed?" The woman asked gently as she sat down near Ruby.

The girl whimpered out a soft "Mhm" of confirmation. 

"Teleportation is a rare magic." 

Ruby paused. 'Magic??' She thought bewildered.

"Do you know if someone could do this on purpose? Do you have any mage in the family that could cause this on accident?" The woman questioned, making Ruby stare for an extra-long second due to the word "mage" used in the sentence.

"No. Nobody in my home had a teleportation semblance." 

The next question baffled Ruby.

"What's a semblance?" 

"Wha-" how could this lady not know what a semblance is? How could she not know such common knowledge? Even the most isolated of villages have an idea of what a semblance is! "W-where am I exactly?" 

"Oh! Right, we never told you right?" The woman laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of her head. "Would be a pretty good question to start considering your situation." Another awkward laugh escaped her lips, however, this one was weaker. "We are near the kingdom of Rakia" 

Now she is REALLY confused. Atlas, Vacuo, Mistral, and Vale. Those are the four kingdoms, there are no known other kingdoms. 

"D-Do you know the kingdom of Vale?" Ruby saw the woman pause to think about it. Why does she need to think about it? Aren't the four kingdoms the only kingdoms? No of course not, there is this "Rakia" that she never heard about!  "Do you have any maps of the continents???" She interrupted the woman's thoughts, her voice slowly gaining a tinge of panic.

The woman facepalmed. That would be an easier way to figure out the girl's home, and no adventurer ever goes into the wild without maps.

Once she stood up to get the one she needed, the woman brought it back and handed it to Ruby.
