As I arose from a deep slumper this morning, I saw that I was laying in a vast field of tall grass. I also realized that my body had somehow lost off of its clothes and I stood there, with the breeze chilling me to the bone. I heard, a ways off, a creek with the water running. And then a very peculiar sound came to my ears. I heard the voice of a woman; several actually. I moved towards the sound and realized that they were all bathing and oiling themselves in the creek. Embarassed, I looked away, and that is when Nausicaa noticed me.
Nausicaa was the daughter of the ruler of these lands, and she insisted upon helping me reach his great palace. She had her maids bathe and cloth me, and afterwords she let me to the edge of town and told me how I could reach the palace without being noticed, for the people didn't trust strangers. When I reached the palace, it was laden in gold, silver, bronze, had elegant orchards filled with fruit and vegetables.
The great king himself gave a feast in my honor and held a council of all his men to see how they might be of aid to me. He decided to give me a ship and provisions for my journey ahead.
