The · memories · of · a · Melnibonese

*opens the diary*
Ah... Finally, they brought you here... 
I'm sorry, I forgot to put you into my travel's bag, so I had to send a letter to Prontera's Castle asking to bring you here, to Ayotaya... I must getting older... Ha ha!

Well... I'm pretty sure you are asking yourself what I am doing here instead of being doing my job, right? Well... since the attacks of gangsters in Lighthalzen were reduced, his highness tought that was a good idea to replace our company and give us a "little break", some spare time for ourselves.
*Thinks* Wait a second... a book can't ask itself anything... *scratches his cheek*

I wanted to stay at castle for some days, but my mother suggested me to do a trip to an exotic city. She suggested me to rest in Comodo or in Ayotaya... but the truth is that I wouldn't be able to stay in Comodo and rest... with all the music and festivals... Definetly, Comodo isn't the best place to rest... *sighs*
So, that's why I am here... Ayotaya is more quiet... they beach is also beautiful and the people is very cordial.

I'm taking some walks every morning, but I'm training every day as well! Don't think just because I have some free time far from the castle or my obligations I just keep looking the leafs of trees moving with the calmed wind... or that I keep near the beach listening to the sound of the sea's waves... or...  Uhm... No way! *shakes his head*

Anyway, it's almost dinner time. I'm going to the restaurant... I'll write you soon *Thinks* I hope...
*closes the diary*

((Yeah... like the title says... I'm tired of everything... suddently seems that the career has transformed into a living hell... i'm in a class full of a "mindless" students who "just ask to delay the class", since "these people" are getting the best marks BUT they do questions like a 2 years boy... HELL! They even asked if an european law (reglament of european council) would be applied on a situation with Moroco!! WTH?!?! When have been Moroco part of the European Union?!?!?!? Learn some geography!!! Evenmore, they seems to be like "i'm allmighty and cool and everything i do in self-profit is right for everyone". I just can't stand people who thinks they are better/superior than others... they get me on nerves.

Even more, the class are horrible... I start at 9am... ok... so i must wake up a bit earlier of 6am to take the train and such... that's fine... nothing i can do against it... but the teacher... my god... i doubt she could explain worse even if she wanted... i'm taking the notes on my computer and 4 of each 5 phrase I copy literally are lacking any kind of meaning... not to say she talks as fast as she can... like if they pay her "per word" instead "per hour"...

And, of course... what i could do without the manual? But... the problem is... that is EVEN worse than the teacher's class... there is no logic, no meaning, no nothing in a 500+ pages manual of international laws... It's like different puzzle's pieces... you have a lot of pages but there isn't any relation within them... as soon you're reading about divorce, next page about "matrimonial's contracts", next page about "spanish civil code's regulation", etc... and it's not based on chapter... no way... it's based on "numbers"...

Also, i'm not working anymore since my boss needed to take two women to teach them, since one of them was the sister of a the lawyer school's dean. I asked a very close friend to sent my curriculum to the lawyer school (since it's the association of lawyers in each judicial territory) to see if i could get anything to move from this rusty chair and learn about what i want to be in a "close future"... almost 2 months and no luck. Maybe i should phone my boss again to look for the old job... a job without payment, but still many contacts in the court...

And not to talk about Ragnarok... I have just enought of trying to reach the lv 99 on Lord... each time i log in with him get depressed and disconnect in a few minutes. Nothing seems to work: "train hard and constant" >> still level less than 1% per day; "try to earn money for HS on the future" >> less exp taken and no profit done... even if i carry with me the mimic clip. 
I'm starting to think on a veeeeeery long vacation of Ro. The only thing that makes me don't is i payed the subscription like three weeks ago... and lately i don't have enought money for expending it "so careless".

And last, but not less important, a very close friend of Ro (like if all my headaches seems to come from that game -_-;) is having a real bad time and don't know how to help her, since we live very far. Seems that whatever i do to help her, or doesn't works or get the things worse... I think that's the most painful thing of everything i listed before.

*sighs* Time to return on "cleaning" notes... more than notes, they seems a weird puzzle of words -_-

And by the way, thanks for the people who was patient enought to read all this, since i'm sure that they could have been doing whatever more interesting and funny to do that reading my "unfortunate live".))

... does the time past.". Right, father? You used to say that, whenever you are waiting for something to happen, times seems to stop, but when you want to hold the happy times and avoid them to go away, time seems to be in hurry to flee... That's why you always said to keep happy memories on our heart, since they can't scape from there and you can hold them for years, if you want.

But it seems that, for some reason, while I was in a mission on Niffleheim, time stoped. At my return to Comodo, soldiers told me I was there for about a month. I managed to understand many things while I was there... maybe it was for that reason that time kept me into the shadows of the underworld.

I understood that, yesterday, another year passed, now it passed twenty three times since the first time sun caressed my face when I was just a baby... but I understood that this time, and next ones, you wouldn't be here.

That's why I didn't dare to speak to you on your grave, the reason I just removed some old flowers to replace for new ones.

... There were many things still to talk about... to many questions now that lies without an answer...

I talked to the old Halig sensei. He told me that I was doing great improvements since last time we met: "Soon I'll be ready for any sacred war", he told me.

Even if I'm not scared about any war held by humans or demons, the time I passed in Niffleheim made me think about... how many times we will have to fight against evil? Is that the only purpose of a crusader, to fight until the end of his days? Then... what happens after that? What after Odin claims your soul to be with him? Do you still have to fight once more in heavens? Or do you return to the world of livings into another body, with another name, to live a same but parallel life?

I'm a bit confused... I guess I shouldn't think about these... I must have faith, right? Faith makes the man humble and worthy of Odin's mercy. That's all a crusader should care... ne?

*sighs*

I should take a rest... I'm leaving again tomorrow towards Niffleheim... whenever I stay there more time... I feel like growing more... I hope that, one day, I'll become as good man as you.... father...>>

*closes the diary*

 

((OOC: last level... Go me Go! *laughs*

))

At last... I reached Prontera city...

I was so impatient to talk with the king that, after crossing the city's doors, started to run towards the castle.

I ran directly to the king's room, but there I couldn't find the king there, so I started to look around the castle, asking each soldier I met for him. One of them told me that maybe the senior crusader's instructor, my old sensei and mentor, could now something since he was with the king at the morning.

I didn't wasted a minute and ran to his rooms, entering impulsively.

"Oh, Caryltis..." said him "The messenger finally found you... a bit late... but still..."

"Sensei... where is the His Highness?"

"He's praying in the church... Caryltis... I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what, sensei?" asked worried.

"I'm afraid it's the king's right to tell you this bad notice... please, go and see him..."

He put his hand on my shoulder and looked to my eyes... the glance of him seemed so sad that I started to feel even more worried, so I ran out of the room to lead to the church.

And there he was. The king was in front of the altar, with a knee on the floor and praying quietly. Somehow... I felt like if the air was becoming more and more cold with each step.

When I was near him, I knelt down.

"Your Highness..."

"Caryltis..." he said while one rose "I am sorry to not be able to call you in time..."

"What happens, my liege?" I interrupted him.

The king waited a few seconds, like if he was looking for some strength to talk.

"Look... son..." he placed his hand over my shoulder while talking. "...I don't know how to tell you this bad new... but..."

He stoped again and breathed deeply.

"Your... father... has passed away..."

The silence invaded the church.

"W... what...?" I started to say with trembly voice.

"I am sorry, son... he was in a rescue mision in Einbroch's mines when he fought some monsters to let others escape... and... then a monster exploded and... the ceiling collapsed... many of their were wounded... but your father get the worst part... the explosion and the rocks falling... they couldn't do anything except bring his corpse..."

I couldn't believe that... this mustn't be true...

"I am really sorry, son... we lost a great man... a nobleman between nobles... he was buried in St. Capitolina Abbey... your mother asked to use the garden graveyard, since she is an elven and wanted that your father and the earth became one... you should visit your mother and your father's grave... I want to talk with you before that, but don't hurry... take all the time you need..."

"Thanks you... your Highness..."

...................................................................

...................................................................

The way to St. Capitolina Abbey was more quietly than normal... seemed like the forest was in a deep sadness... like if it was feeling the same sadness than my mother... she didn't stop crying  since the day my father died... neither ate nor walk... even so, the maids were always near her, taking care of her... I should buy some gift for hers in order to show my gratitude to them...

When I arrived to St. Capitolina Abbey, I headed to the gardens...

"Hello... father..."

........

"I can't believe that happened... I can't believe you aren't here anymore... there were too many things I wanted to talk with you... too many things I wanted to learn... but... it's now when I realize that we were living different lifes... different paths... I would like to change that now..."

*sighs*

..............

"I remember that once you told me one thing I couldn't understand... "There are so much things to live for and so much things to die for, but remember one thing : never sigh for a better world because it's already composed, played and told."... now I think I understand... I can't change somethings, like the life and the death, or what I had already lived..."

*silence*

"It seems that now it's the time... father..."

I smiled sadly. I knelt and put an Illusion flower near the grave.

...................................................................

...................................................................

I returned to the church after paying another visit to my mother. I could manage to make her eat a little and promised her to visit after my meeting with the king.

The king was talking with a priest and some acolytes.

"Caryltis, come here, please" said when he noticed me "Are you ready?"

"Ready for what, my liege?" asked.

"I know that maybe it's a bit soon... but the fact is that neither you or me can elude this..."

He walked towards the altar.

"What are you talking about, your Highness?"

I was very confused.

"I'm talking about... your blood's rights"

He turned to me, wearing a crown on his hands... the duke's crown that belonged to my father...

"Lord Caryltis... son of the deceased Duke Fenntir V... I, Tristan third of Prontera, claim you the new Duke... I am sure you will be as good as your father was... May the Gods bless you and your father's soul..."

*Thinks* even if I'm not sure I'll be able to...

 

((Yay!! Finally I got a crown *0* *very very happy*... I didn't know how to say that, but this way will let me improve / advance with Caryltis life... like a "forced growing up"... Let's see what happens *laughs*

Oh, by the way, sorry about the horrible and ugly post [some people told me not to do... but i thought it could be interesting and, maybe, logic].))

*Opens the diary*

Diary, today something that makes me worry happened...

While I was "doing my job" in Niffleheim, a knight from Prontera's Castle brought me a scroll... a message from His Highness Tristan III...

It said...

"You should return to Prontera's Castle as soon as possible... we have bad news for you.

                                                                                        His Highness, Tistan III of Prontera."

 

I still have a long way to reach Prontera, since it seems that Kafra's services have been disabled for some kind of... "mainteinance"?

Oh... well... I guess I should walk all the way... I'm just wondering what happened...

*scratches his head*

*closes the diary and put it in his bag*

Diary... today was a rough training day... well, as usual... but... uhm... let's say "today was a rough and hard day", in general...

I trained for almost the whole day in Niffleheim, fighting the fallen crusaders named commonly "Dullahans". I heard once, when I was just a swordman, that Dullahans were noble crusaders that failed on the trascendence... for some reason, all of them could return from the dead's realm and they stayed there, where their souls got corrupted. May Odin save their souls...

But, well, that's not what exhausted me... yes... "exhausted"... that's how I am right now... You won't believe what happened...

Well... let's start from the begining... I decided, after returning to Comodo, to pay a visit to the Archer Village, in Payon town. While being there, taking a little rest and some tea, one of the guards asked me for some help with a pair of Ninetails that were attacking the adventurers in Payon's caves. Of course, I agreed inmediatly and took my sword and shield to fight these evil creatures.

Hunting them was easy. Even if my sensei always said that "no opponent is weak", I could finish this task quickly since they Ninetails were trying to cross the door to the third level of the caves. And since that door is small, they didn't had any chance to escape from Ancient Hunter.

Ancient Hunter is becoming more and more useful... somehow, it is starting to be more "gentle" and seems more "calm"... I know is weird to talk about a sword like that... but you know it isn't a "normal" sword... *sighs*

Anyway, Ancient Hunter told me that it was feeling something near, so I looked around and... near some plants I found... "her"...

I didn't know what to do at first! I was so... surprised... *scratches his head with the pen*

I "thought" the best I could do is to take the egg to Izlude, because I heard once there is a man who knows about how to take care of monsters.

And there it began all the mess... I found the man, yes... He was in Izlude's Tool shop... but he refused to take care of the egg! Indeed, he said "I MUST" *underlines I MUST* take care of her!! *stops writing*

*swt*

So, he gave me some tips of how take care of her... the first thing I had to do is... to let her go outside *swt*

...for some stupid reason... I felt like a Peco peco... but I only had to use a little machine called Incubator... and... "Pof!"

Now I have to take care of her... and... well... I'm not angry or annoyed... it's only that...

*sounds of someone jumping in a bed*

*stops writing and stands up quickly*

*yells* EY!! Don't get up there!!!! Don't jump in MY bed!!

*sohee runs out of the room and Caryltis pursue her*

*opens the diary and start writting*

Yesterday, I was asked to help scourting some people trought Juno's deserst fields towards Einbroch.

I accepted because I knew some people in the group and because it was my free day... I "thought" it would be better than staying in the castle... but now I regret... *swt*

At first, it was an easy travel... but at the half of the way, we were attacked by sleepers and geographers. They seemed more... aggresive than normal... but that wasn't the real problem...

The problem was when we entered the Einbroch's fields... it was all... gray and death... and even the monsters there were so... "nasty"...

The porings were made of metal and mucus... or something unknow... I asked Elmikie what were they made of and he said they were "non-natural"... they were made by humans!

After some minutes of  walking, be reached the city of Einbroch... the industrial "jewel" of Rune Midgard... even if it seems more a piece of rusty iron *swt*

All there was made of metal, rusty or not, and a cloud of pollution covered all the city... while being there I just realized how I love the forests...

 

Also, if the pollution and all the metal weren't enought, I had to be near Len... and as always, arguing...

 

Oh... well... I won't spent many time here... I'll go to Ayotaya soon since I'm looking for something in particular...

*closes the diary and starts cleaning his armour*

((Well, i just want to "thanks" a person of this community for his/her help when some of their guildmates or "comrades" [if a snake or a rat can be a good comrade] were buggin me and trying to harass while killing the Angelring (in fact, without luck... seems that l33ts get annoyed when they can't get the first in whatelse).

The help he/she show while they were making fun of me will be considered in the future *note the sarcasm in that phrase*.

Oh, and one more thing, next time they should be more careful... as far as my "laws" knowledge goes (and it's not that small knowledge), what they were saying/doing is harassment, and as far as i read in Ragnarok Online Rules and regulations, "Every Ill-mannered guild activity(including mob train & activity of harassing other people in group)" [directly copied from RO's website] is considered banning cause (of the entire guild, for 5 and 10 days and deleting of the guild at the third time) or also "All kinds of rude behaviour (that is regarded as doing harm , annoying or intercepting other people while playing)" [directly copied from RO's website], with the same punishment for the individual players.

I like jokes, but i don't like people who laughts about others.

Sorry everyone for this annoying, boring and "probably drama" post. Accept my deeply apologizes.))

((... I was looking around my profile and such things in LJ and i found something... the 27th of this month will be the first "anniversary" of my journal xD

I never tought that diary could be that "old" *laughs*

*Note*A completely stupid post =w=))

**Five months ago**

It's a dark night. In the sky, the moon is following her slow path, followed by the stars.

The Prontera's castle seems in peace. The guards are patrolling. Some of them just stay sitting nearvy the walls, others walk up and down the square, wielding their lances. And only a few ones are playing dices in the shadows, where only the sound of the coins can be heard.

In his chamber, in one of the highest towers of the castle, Caryltis is sleeping. Indeed, he seems nervous while he sleeps.

The wind moves a bit the curtains and all stays in calm. Even Caryltis seems to relax.

An unfamiliar but peaceful and charming voice comes from nowhere and from everywhere at the same place. Caryltis just opened the eyes, but stayed laying in the bed, unnable to move even a finger even if he tried with all his strengths. Somehow... the voice weren't hostile and made him to stay in a perfect inside peace.

The voice said...

"Hear me, noble crusader... I, who bring the light to the day, who purify the souls of the wanderers, who vanish the shadows of the abyss... I request to you to please my desires... You shall go to the land of the shadows to purify the wandering souls of your deceased comrades... Succed in my desires and I'll help you in your future... Farewell, noble brother of the dragons..."

Caryltis didn't understand very well what was all about, but something was clear... any God's help is always welcome, and this one seemed to know something about him.

"Why not?" asked to himself Caryltis "Even if I'm Odin's crusader I have to help on that noble task..."

That night, Caryltis packed all he needed and traveled towards the desert town, Morroc...

 

((Two things about the mess of above: the first one is that i wanted to try at least once the "third mode" tale... just to see how i could write in that mode in english =7. The second one is that i wanted to justify why Lord Caryltis has been around four months or so leveling alone in Niffleheim level 1 [yeah... it's TOO hard leveling alone... but mostly because it's boring T_T]. I hope it wasn't too bad (_ _;; ))

((Phew! I must start thinking about writting something worthy here, haha ^.^;;

Weeeeell... last week I was in Madrid for the weeding of two guildmates I/R: Chiquitina (co-leader) and Ruzzo (annoying guy of the guild *cough*).

I had a lot of fun there because most of the people were guildmates: Len, Adanedel, Tubruk and many more.

I took many pics... sooner or later I'll upload them *cough*.

 

Now that I'm at home i realise something i was thinking about last weeks (before that "event"): i'm not having fun in Ro anymore ._.

I'm just like "Travel to Niffleheim, hunt one hour, return to Comodo, sell loot, travel to Niffleheim, etc." : no party, no fun in guild, no chat with friends... even if i try to talk to people i realize it's not the same... i'm not enjoying.

No Role-play anymore... I ended hating WoE (and still hate it)...

I'm just wondering if i should... quit Ro?))

((Note: this is an OCC entry. Has nothing to do with Lord Caryltis' life ^_^))

 

Yesterday was the day... it was the day of the revenge of the angels...

We tried to defend the castle as long as be could, but at the end we couldn't repel the agressors.

So, after loosing the castle, our allies and us tried to reconquer it. After severals attacks, our allies could break their defenses and the golden shining stone, so we ended at the defense of the castle again.

We could manage to keep it for almost the final of the war, but, so suddent, all the europeans players got disconnected ((??)), and other guild, because of the lack of the defenses (maybe there only were a priest or two /swt), we lost the castle again.

Even if I don't like the WoE, I must recognize I had a lot of fun yesterday... *nods*

**A few weeks ago**

It's a clear night. The moon is reflected on the river near the Prontera's castle.

In the castle walls, two guards are taking a little rest and talk.

"Did you heard the rumor?" asked a guard to another.

"No... what are you talking about?"

"It seems Lord Caryltis as disappeared..."

"Really? Now... that explain the increasing of the patrols around the city... *scratches his chin*"

*silence*

"Do you think he could be assassinated?"

*another silence*

*The second guard scratches his chin again* "It could happens... there was a new assassin around..."

"Uh?"

"Yeah... When I was patroling with Tarl we met a weird assassin..."

"What's wrong with him? All assassins are weird!"

"Yes, but they don't eat raw meat in the street..."

 

**At the present time**

Morroc town. Around one of the morning. It's dark and a girl is walking outside the town. She seems to be very inquiet, maybe she was dating with his boyfriend and he didn't come.

All of suddent, the sand around her begins to take form... sandmans and a sleeper.

She tries to run away as fast as she can but she mets someone.

A tall figure in the shadows is near the towns entrance. Only two red points can be seen on his face.

The girl is scared and she starts to cry.

The figure walks towards her... it seems to be an elf, with red eyes and white hair... on his left ear there is a big earring with a cross.

"Don't be afraid about the shades..." tells the figure "... because they are the indication that somewhere near there is... light..."

...

..........

.......................

..................................

**GRAND CROSS**

........................

It was the second time I met the "red haired Len" in Payon... and also Pastel-chan.

She seems to be very happy when "the red haired Len" is near her... that made me think about...

"The red haired Len"... the fake... the "Len without the grace of the Gods"... Am I supposed to kill him? My faith tells me to do... but... something inside my heart is telling me not to... justice... he isn't guilty... his only sin is his real nature... Can I blame him for what he is?Do have to follow the path of the Faith this time or maybe I have to walk the path of the Justice?

I'm wondering... if I follow the path of the Faith this time... Shall I finish with myself for what I am? That would be fair...

All happened when I decided to take some rest drinking in Payon village...

When I bought my drink and some food, I saw almost everyone were outside... "him" too...

I can stand him! And how's nobody can see that? Are they blind or something?? He's not *underlines "not" very strong* the real Len... he's just a fake... nothing...

His eyes are empty...

And even so... why, by the glorious Odin, do they talk to him as Len-san? I don't like to say that... but the truth is that I prefer the real Len... at least he's "normal"...

*thinks for a while before continuing writting*

And also... why Pastel-chan is so... *thinks again* "friendly" to him? She asked me not to hurt him... How can she ask me that?? It's my duty! It's Odin's will... What if "that" kill her or wathever?

...and also, I think I made her sad... the truth is I am sorry... but I'm not changing my mind... I'm trying to "respect" him... but I can't see "that"...

By the way... I'm still hungry... I don't know why but I would like to eat some... fish?

*Scratches his head, closes the book and leaves the room*

I'm sorry, diary, because I don't have enought time to write what's happening recently... but now I have some free time, so I'll tell you what's going on all these days...

It happened a weeks ago, when I was sent to the ruins of Glast Heim to vannish some of those evil armors enchanted with warrior's souls...

Two Raydrics, when they noticed my presence, ran over me wielding their swords.

As of the result of the meditation and the training of months ago, I'm glad to say that I improved my skills making them more effective.

It was in the middle of the execution of the skill, the Grand Cross, the most powerful skill that Odin granted us, the humans, to know, when I saw her...

I still can hear her sweet and warm voice...

"Hear me, good crusader... you, whos soul is between two worlds and two races, are going to take a sacred mission... the dark forces have sent to this world dark knights whit evil objectives... is the will of Odin that you take care, with your brother in arms, of those whos soul is corrupted. You, the crusaders, are the ones who must fight them... farewell, Lord Caryltis..."

Dark Knights? I was so disoriented...

And then, I saw them...

I guess the Dark Forces have eyes everywhere...

Behind the corner, there were two knights in black shining armors, riding armored horses who looked like Nightmares, wielding a large lance and a huge sword.

Naming to Odin, I fought them...

It was a hard battle, but thanksfully, Odin and his blessings helped me in my victory...

I wish next time I count again with Odin's Grace...

*closes the diary and prays*

 

((I wanted to post it a weeks ago, when I leveled to 93, but my "domain" isn't working properly... it doesn't load, so I had to look for another... it's a pity, because now I'm almost 94 T_T. And btw, thanks Natila for helping me... when the 2 abyss I only had 35 sp.

Another thing, the angel is the lvl up and the magnificat fusioned... i don't know how i could take that screenshot, but i think it's just wonderful :O I like it very much and the other one, the Abyss vannishing and the other attacking, is also awesome, don't you think? ^_^))

First of all, I'm sorry because of all the time I didn't wrote... *Thinks* Wait... why am I sorry with a book??

*grins to himself*

Anyway... yesterday, it was a hard day... not because I worked more than the usually, it was because of my break time...

I went to St. Capitolina Abbey, a place I always try to take a break from the work... but there was people there... to be exacts, there was Len-san.

But who cares, I told to myself. I'm always happy to have a break so we talked. He seemedvery quiet and asked weird questions.

Later, Sune-chan came. Sune-chan is a huntress I know from when she was a little novice... I had took care of her since then.

Anyway... there came too Pastel-chan, Adanedel-san, a little acolyte called Heavens Sould and a weird priest who was always talking about love... he even asked me if I "had a relation with my sword"... and he tried to take Ancient Hunter! Fortunatelly... he stoped... I don't know what could happen if he wielded the sword... ^^U

The truth is that I wanted to see Pastel and Sune to give them their chocolates... yes... I gave them chocolates.... what's the matter? -_-

It was White day... and you know... they gave me chocolate too for San Valentine...

*stops writting and thinks* Why am I justifying to book????

*grins again* -_-U

I have to patrol again, I'll write later... or not...  

*closes the book*

Today... today two important things are going to happen.

The first one is my 22th anniversary. But that's not really important... my whole life has been dedicated to protect the others... so, I hope I could live more to protect more people... that's the only wish I could ask for my birthday...

 

And the second one... I have to clean the Chivaldry's Honor... a week ago, a knight was... uhm... "using" as a slave a poor young priestess... that kind of behaivour is unacceptable, knight or not... so, after Len-san and I asked to him to release the young priestess, he reacted violently.

I asked once more and I told him that, if in one week he didn't released the priestess, I were going to invite him to a duel...

 

I'll pray for my victory in front of that deplorable behaivour... May Odin lent his force... *knees in Prontera's church and prays*

 

((I would liked to put here a drawing that Len-san did about Caryltis praying, but I couldn't find him to ask for his permission *sob*))

((Edit:Here's the drawing... i think i messed it a little... ^^U)) ((Edit2:removing the image... it only shows the "red crossed file" T__T))

After the last visit to Payon Hunter's Guild, I traveled to Geffen, looking for more books about dragons.

As everyone in Midgard knows, Geffen is the best place to find answers even about the darkest questions because of the important and great amount of magic books and ancient tomes.

I arrived at the evening, almost when the moon started to raise on the sky and the sun, slowly, was hidding.

I found two things when I reached the wizzardry tower: the first one, is that they don't let anyone except magicians to come in without permission... the second one, is that they don't have any respect to nobles *sweatdrop*

So, in that kind of situation, I only could take some rest in the Inn.

I asked for a room and the innkeeper, a young lady who seemed worried about something, told me that there was only one free room for tonight.

What a luck!

...

Or I think so...

It was a normal room, not big neither small... with a wooden table, a chair, a rusty bed and a big mirror near the bed.

There was also two windows, both closed. Looking trought them, I could see the dark alleys, where some thieves seemed to be distributing the day's gains.

Anyway, I thought that, maybe, with that mirror near the bed I could break it while sleeping, so, I moved it near a window.

I left the room and went downstairs, looking for the innkeeper to ask her for some food.

I must recognize that I can't remember when I ate that much!! We also had some talk. It looks that she's worried about her sister, who has a pub in Geffen too.

Well, anyway... It was late and I decided to have some sleep, so I, politely, wished the innkeeper to have sweet dreams and left the dining room.

At my room, I took of my armors and weapons.

It was... strange...

The room was... colder... some wind was running trought one of the window...

"Wait a second... I didn't opened the window before..."

Just one second after thinking that, I jumped dodging a katar coming from my back.

Now, in front of me, an assassin and a rogue... the same rogue that ran away days ago in Payon's forest...

-Here here... we have trapped a rat here, right? - said the rogue - Now it's your time to pay what you did to my band...

He took a knife and they started to walk towards me.

The only way I could survive is getting my shield and my sword... but how? They were in the middle...

"If I only had my sword... only..." I thought.

Something came to my mind... "You should try to concentrate, master... the mind is your strenght..."

My strenght... I wished that strenght could help me to defeat those enemies... but how?!

"Only the sword... just if... I could get the sword..."

While thinking that, I heard metal noise. I still can't believe that but... the sword... was shaking...

And then, all happened in just a few seconds...

Ancient Hunter left flying towards my hand. In my hand, I felt something weird... like if time started to slow down.

Without hesitation, I attacked the assassin. The blow was ferocious and he flew, crashing with the mirror. After that, and when the rogue was surprised, I attacked him too, hitting him against the wall.

I looked his eyes... he was terrified, crying and mumbling...

The blade was glowing in a red aura, giving it a demonic look...

The last rune, "DEATH", was shining...

Now, Ancient Hunter was complete... who knows what's going to happen from now on...
