He then teleported out of this place, leaving me stranded and abandoned.
"MARLOOOOOOOON!" My desperate cry echoed through the empty expanse, the name resonating with both longing and frustration, lost in the void of our shattered connection.

My family and I resided in Nord City, a bustling metropolis teeming with merchants and scavengers. Renowned for its security, the city stood as a formidable fortress against Ellacs and any other threats, thanks to its formidable military force and the sheer number of skilled scavengers who called it home. Nord City served as a global hub, attracting people from all corners of the world eager to engage in business, trade, and establish lasting connections. The air buzzed with the dynamic energy of commerce, creating a vibrant tapestry of cultures and opportunities in this thriving urban haven.
While Nord City thrived with opportunities, caution was paramount in a landscape where some individuals sought to exploit unsuspecting newcomers. The city, while a haven overall, harbored its fair share of scammers. As a naturally cautious individual, navigating the bustling streets required a discerning eye and a keen sense of self-preservation.
Despite the vibrant commerce and robust security measures, the city's infrastructure bore the scars of neglect. Potholed streets and crumbling buildings told tales of a once-grand city facing the challenges of time. Yet, amidst the visible decay, Nord City stood resilient and safe, a testament to the collective strength of its inhabitants. Though the physical infrastructure might falter, the spirit of the city endured, providing a haven for those who sought opportunity and refuge within its lively, imperfect embrace.
