This is how I'd picture my mabinogi life. I owe it to my friends and my RP family to help me along in my mabi life. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Aydub, are you paying attention?" Craig calls over to me. I haven't been paying attention lately becuase of my mother. She's always getting into some sort of trouble...It annoys me sometimes but she's my mother.
Just deal with it, she's fine.
A shoe hits my head, "OW! Dammit Craig!" I glare over at him. Craig is my teacher if you haven't noticed. He's the paladin teacher here in Emain Macha and has been teaching me for a while. His harsh look makes me squirm.
God, why do I even have to do this?!
I sigh and walk over and continue my training. I've been here for months now and still nothing. I rarely get to see my family in Tir Chronaill. My twin brother, Koriko, is the fashion "diva" of the family so he works in Emain Macha with that Ailionoa lady. Sure she's beautiful but she's more dimwitted than Olsa.
"Aydub," Craig walks over to me, " you look like you're having some issues thinking. Do you want to go home for a day or two?" His eyes are kind and worried.
"Yeah...That'd be nice, I'm missing my mother..." I don't know how my dark eyes looked, all I know is that he gave me some food and told me to come back later in the week. I walk into town to fetch my dimwitted brother.
I walk by Olsa's weapon shop and she waves at me, I wave back at her. She's been really nice to me during the months I've been there. As soon as I get to Ailionoa's clothing shop I see her and Koriko talking and laughing.
She's too old you idiot, we're only 15.
Koriko sees me and he smiles so big I think his mouth is going to fall off. Walking over I throw Ailionoa a death glare.
Koriko just smiles, his blonde hair and bright blue eyes are really to much for me. Even though we're twins we look completely different. He has shiny blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, his bright skin shimmers in the sun, he is mom's pride and joy. As for me, I have pitch black hair and dark dirt colored eyes, my skin is "dirty" as it seems I've just been revived from the dead.
I look at him with one eye brow raised, "We're going home for a day or two, so pack up and we'll get on Jaerla and head out." He obviously doesn't want to leave but I guess the look on my face told him I wasn't going to leave without him.
I wait for him on the outskirts of town petting my horse. She neighs happily as I feed her some carrots. When Koriko finally comes we hop on Jaerla and ride off. Since I hate taking a long time for trips I take short cuts through the valleys and grasslands.
Its night and we're in Tir Chronaill. I dispell my horse and Koriko and I walk among the familiar lands that we, or I, used to call home. Koriko rushes off to our house and bursts through the door. I hear the voices inside and I feel...warm.
Snap out of it, you went to Emain Macha for a reason.
I walk in through to door and sit down in the kitchen. Yukisnowchan rushes over and hugs me, "Brother! You've been gone for a long time. I was getting really sad!" She's my youngest sister, I love her to death.
Don't forget what happened here.
My smile dissapears. I hug Yuki half-heartedly and get up. I hear the door open and my mother, Diya, walks into the kitchen. She mumbles something, "Tarlach?" I'm confused, why is she talking about him.
"What mother?" I question. She looks up, "Ay! You're all home!" She wraps her arms around me and squeezes me tight. I hug her back. She looks almost...broken down, worried. She ruffles my hair and walks away.
You shouldn't let that get to you, it's just an adopted family.
I shake my head and sneak out the back. Ever since my father, Zero, dissapeared looking for Tarlach I never felt like loving my family again. Sure they took me in after my old father had left me. After that I loved my family. They are all so weird and loving, a little to much for me but yeah.
You should leave you don't belong with them anymore.
I shake the feeling. I've been a paladin without telling my family that I'd already completed my training, not even Craig knew. After I'd become a paladin I started hating Morrighan. Since when had she done anything for me? All she did was lead me into a hell filled world that Errin would become.
I walk to the dock and sit down. My clothing becoming wet in the water. I didn't care, I just wanted to be alone. I lean back and see Yuki's face, it's wet with tears I think. I turn around and sure enough she's crying. She sits down next to me and buries her head in between her knees. Her blue tiara seemed dark and depressing and her outfit I'd giving her months ago was limp and crinkled.
Don't care about her, all paladins and soon to be paladins can never be trusted.
Taking my arm around her, I pull her close and hug her. She was shaking...why?
"Yuki-chan?"
"*sniff* I'm okay, just Firos was being rude and I broke up with him."
Firos
"Ignore Firos. Yuki-chan, you need to realize he was always a jerk from the start." She laughed and that made me smile. She was one of the only people that could make me laugh or smile. I told her to go home, it was late and that she was still really young. I reached into my robe and pulled out a pure blue rose, I put it in her hands and she smiled. Skipping off she hummed merrily. Maybe having a family wasn't so bad after all.
I walk into the house and see everyone still awake. They don't notice me.
"She still isn't home, did she go to Emain Macha again?"
"I don't think so Ckika, mom doesn't go anywhere without telling us first."
"Yeah your right Yuki. Maybe we should just wait." I'm now officially confused, why is Mom gone?
"Guys?" I butt into the conversation and every stops and looks at me," Errrr, maybe she just went on a walk or something and got lost."
"Yeah, Mom isn't the type to do that Aydub. Now why don't you just go along and sleep with Koriko." That officially irritated me but, I know better than to let Ckika annoy me. I shrug and walk to my room. Koriko is asleep and falling off his bed at that. Crawling up the ladder to the loft area of the room I close my eyes and see Mom's face. What if she did get lost? What if bandits or fomors attacked her? I shake my head, "Nah...Mom's strong..." With that I close my eyes and fall asleep.
"Daddy!" A young girl cries out and hugs a dark figure.
"It's okay Triona." The dark figure says, his helmet is covered in light snow.
"Ruairi! I've missed you!" The girl hugs a red haired man. Ruairi? Isn't that one of the lost warriors?
"Who are you?" The figure askes a woman in armor, "Well? Answer me!"
I realize that the woman is my mother and that she's as confused as I am. I try to call out but my voice isn't working.
Morrighan is letting you see this Aydub, she's letting you feel bad that you cannot help your own mother.
"Mom!!" I scream out, the woman's head turns to where I am and then the vision dissapears.
You shouldn't be worried, she'll be fine, maybe. Just join me and forget this life.
Shut up! Just shut up you stupid armor!
