The first thing Edward was aware of was a voice. Someone, or something, was speaking to him. He didn't understand most of what it said, but what he did was very disconcerting. Then the voice changed, or it was someone different, more high pitched, and he would recognize that familiar speech pattern anywhere, it was a Moogle. He tried to remember why there would be a Moogle near him, but he couldn't. In fact, he couldn't recall anything. Frantically Edward searched his mind for anything, but none of his personal memories were there. Other than his own name. Edward Chris von Muir, it sounded fancy. Was he some sort of noble?
Edward opened his eyes to find himself staring up at the sky. Long grass tickled at his nose, making him wrinkle it. How did he get outside? Where had he been before this? He really didn't remember anything. A Moogle fluttered above him, looking as worried as a Moogle could, but relaxed when they saw that he was now awake. "Thank goodness, kupo! I thought you'd never wake up, kupo." It said, landing on his chest.
Edward chuckled, did he like Moogles? He must have, because of the sight of the little thing made him smile. "I'm sorry I made you worry. My name is Edward, what's yours?" He asked as he lifted the Moogle off his chest so that he could sit up.
"I'm Anna, kupo!" The Moogle replied, flying out of Edward's arms.
Anna, huh? That name sounded so familiar to Edward somehow, and yet, he didn't know why. He put a hand against the ground to push himself up, only his hand didn't touch the ground, it hit something else first. Edward glanced to the side to find that there was a harp sitting next to him. Curiously he picked it up and examined it. "Anna, is this yours?" He asked, wondering why else it would be there.
Anna giggled, "No, kupo, it's yours. It was next to you when I found you."
Edward stared at the harp for a little bit longer before running his fingers across the strings. They made a sound, and he did it again, this time skipping a few strings as he did. Maybe it really was his. With a shrug, Edward tucked it under his arm and got to his feet. He glanced around the area, trying to figure out where he was. All he could see was green, it was quite pretty actually. Though it worried him a little, his clothing didn't exactly blend in with the surroundings, at all. What if there were monsters around? Could he even fight? Well, if he ran into one he'd find out pretty quickly.
Anna was flying right near his head, and landed on his left shoulder, taking a seat there. Edward glanced to the side in order to look at her and smiled. It looks like he had made a friend already. "Well Anna, not much is going to happen if we just stand around here. What looks like a good direction to start it?"
Anna appeared to be pondering the question, then pointed to Edward's left. "That way, kupo!"
"That way it is." Edward agreed, heading off towards his left. The entire situation was scary, he had no idea where he was, why he was here, or even who he was. But, he wasn't going to let that stop him.
