The Adventures of Argos

== Chapter 1: The Calm ==
A stranger was unconscious in the grass with only rags to shield him from the weather. Slowly, he fluttered his eye open as he got up and looked around.
???: "Where... am I? And what...who am I?!"
The guide turned around as he saw the stranger had finally awoken.
The Guide: "Ah! You're awake! I've been tending to you overnight."
???: "Where...am I?"
The stranger slowly gets up.
The Guide: "You are in Terraria! I assume it has brought you here. I will be your guide, so call me Connor."
???: "And...who am I?"
Connor: "You...you don't know who you are?" 
???: "No..."
Connor: "Perhaps it'll come back to you when you stay awhile. For now, I recommend you chop down some trees for wood, as night will not wait for you. Here, take this."
Connor hands the stranger a big bag. Items clatter inside as he hands it to the stranger.
???: "What's in this...?"
Connor: "Supplies that'll help you out. Copper tools such as a short sword, an axe, a pickaxe...."
???: "Strange that you just...have that on you..."
The stranger opens to bag and takes its contents. Afterwards, he walks over to the nearest tree, and begins chopping.
???: "It's quite strange that the trees completely fall apart into logs when you only chop the stump."
Connor: "But it's convenient! Could you imagine if the trees, say, fell over or something? You could really get hurt!"
Connor: "I recommend you get started on your house now. Night is approaching."
The stranger doesn't listen as he sees a little green blob hop in front of him...and then right at his face. 
???: "AUGH! That hurts!"
The stranger starts swinging his shortsword, though he isn't doing much damage. Connor lands a few arrows and puts an end to the slime's gelatinous body.
Connor: "Darn slimes! They may seem cute and harmless, but they pack a punch."
Connor picks up a heart left behind by the slime.
Connor: Take this. It'll help you recover.
Instinctively, the stranger eats the heart, as it crunches in his mouth.
Connor: "I'm gonna head off for now. You didn't make a house, but you should at least make a workbench or something to prepare some tools."
???: "Uh...okay! Bye!"
The stranger makes a workbench and begins constructing a house. He hears a moan behind him. 
???: "Connor, are you trying to- whaaAAAAAA!!!"
The zombie lunges at the stranger! The stranger steps on his workbench and jump over the zombie, then quickly tried to unsheathe his short sword, but fumbles and drops it on the ground. He balls up his fists as he lunges forward, using the weapons Terraria gave him to kill the zombie!
Ability Discovered: Fisticuffs
As the stranger lands the killing blow, the zombie's upper half explodes, leaving a mess of blood and zombie parts all over the house he was building.
== Chapter 2: Discovery ==
The stranger finishes his house, the way it looked seemed oddly familiar.
He observed the house some more and started recognizing it as his old house. He racks his brain to try and remember more to no avail. 
???: Maybe I should head out. Yeah, that seems like a good idea. It could help restore some of my memories, right?
The stranger sets his eyes on a random cave nearby. He began going up to it, slowly walking and looking at the strange world around him. That's when he saw a strange eye flying in the distance.
???: Good thing I won't be facing that. 
He reaches the cave and dives into the depths below. His torch glowed like the sun in the day as he explored, and mined. Soon, he found a structure. It looked like a house!
???: Maybe someone could help me!
He eagerly dug down and knocked on the door. No answer. Another few knocks. No answer. He decided to barge in, only to see cobwebs, a skeleton, and an empty chest. 
???: Looks like the owner of the house died, but why is the chest empty?
Suddenly, he heard footsteps. They were much faster and slightly heavier than his, so he hid under the stairs.
Tap tap tap.
Someone was walking around.
Tap tap tap.
The stranger crawled into a fetal position, shaking.
TAP TAP TAP.
The footsteps were getting louder, as a shadow cast over the stranger.
?: "...What's wrong?"
???: Huh?
?: "Hello? Are you deaf? I asked a question!"
???: "I um... I'm... fine."
The stranger continued to shake.
?: "That's good. Welp, since we've met, we might as well get to know each other. The name's Charlie! You?"
???: "I'm...uh...well...I....I..."
Charlie: "Well? Spit it out!"
???: "I...don't exactly remember my name..."
Charlie: "What?"
???: "I said I don't remember my name!"
Charlie: "That's a bit sad. Well, uh, I guess I should bring you to my place, you don't even have armor for goodness sake!"
???: "Well, it's not like I have some kind of menu to let me instantly craft stuff..."
Charlie: Audible sigh "Cmon, let's go..."
The stranger and Charlie make it out of the cave, and end up at a castle.
???: "Whoa! You made this?!"
Charlie: "Yup! Come inside, I'll give you a helping hand."
They both enter the castle and travel to the top floor with chests and chests of loot. The stranger is almost tempted to take it all and make a break for it...
Charlie: "Here, have some junk I don't need."
Charlie tosses the stranger a bunch of gear.
???: "What are these things?"
Charlie: "Rocket boots, Excalibur, Clockwork gun, and Pwnhammer. The hammer lets you break anything that needs to be broken with a hammer, Excalibur is a sword, Clockwork gun is a gun that fires 3 shots with 1 musket ball, and the rocket boots let you fly."
???: "Flight?!"
The stranger immediately puts on the boots and begins soaring around the room, then falls on the ground, face-first.
???: "THMMMM! WWWUUUUHHHMMMPH! AWMSMMM!!!"
Charlie: "I can't understand what you're saying while you're eatin' the ground."
The stranger quickly gets up.
???: "THAT WAS AWESOME!!!"
Charlie: "You can only fly for a limited amount of time, so be careful."
???: "SCREW SAFETY, I'M GONNA DO THAT AGAIN!"
The stranger flies around the room before hitting his head on a wall.
???: "Ow!"
Charlie: Silently chuckling
???: "I'm gonna go back to my house."
The stranger walks home, clearly trying to disguise his embarrassment as anger.
== Chapter 3: Dreams ==
???: What was my name? Who am I? WHERE DID I COME FROM?! WHY AM I HERE?!?!
The stranger thought about this with no answer. He made himself a chair and table that looked like it could fall apart any minute, but he didn't care. He decided that the chair was where he was going to sleep, since he doesn't know how to make a bed. So he closed his eyes as he drifted away into dreamworld.
He found himself in the past, with Connor watching over him. From what it looks like, he just...came from the ground. Was that it? Was that all there was to him? "No," he thought. "There's got to be more to me than just...sprouting from the ground!" ￼ The stranger tries to find a way to rewind time, but he is stuck as a spectator to his own memories. As he stares at his boxy house, he wondered why he saw this house as familiar. But before he could dwell too much on the thought, he woke up. 
???: "What a strange dream..."
The stranger walked outside. It was still night, so he took a walk outside. He swung his sword at incoming enemies, allowing him to take care of them with ease. His name slowly started to come back to him. 
???: "My name...it started with a...an... A, right?"
The stranger tried to remember further, to no avail. He was starting to get tired from his limited memory.
