Sword of Mana/Hero/The Meadow

Niccolo the traveling merchant will catch you with his fishing rod, he wakes you up, then leaves, save at the golden statue. Then exit south.

You hear a scream from the meadow, there will be Chopin Hood attacking a girl, kill the monster then there will be some dialogue, then she joins you but first you have to find a book for her, form the bottom left square, go up 3 times then slash at the grass in front of you, once you find it keep searching because you can get some items from the grass. Go south to exit.

There will be some Rabites, they are easily taken care of, go northeast on each screen to get to Topple, but you can get some experience, if you see a sword above you, that means that your sword has gained a level, it can gain up to 99 levels, each makes it more powerful, if you see a LV up logo then press and it is probably best to choose Magician every time until you become a Magician, then you can choose whatever you want. If you need healing heal at the statue near the meadow or at the Statue in Topple.
