CHAPTER 1: The Beginning
it was a beautiful, sunny day in Prontera, the streets were exploding with people buying or selling their wares. I slowly walked the streets admiring everything I saw, for you see in the past couple of months frequent monster attacks have been occurring in small towns such as Comodo and Izlude. So many people are on edge about being in towns even one as well protected as Prontera, so I enjoyed every bit that I could. I was on my way to meet some of my friends because we had planned a picnic for today. While passing some Merchants I heard a familiar voice in the distance.
"Omi! Omi!" The voice rang out.
I turned to see that it was Rin a Priestess waving at me from behind a bunch of Blacksmiths, and with her were Min an Assassin and Poot a Baby Hunter, the daughter of my friends Yasuo, and Sky. All of them were running to catch up to me; in Prontera you must have nerves of steel and fast reflexes to maneuver the streets or else you risk getting lost or worse getting your wallet stolen. I decided to be merciful and wait for them; once we were together we headed to the West exit of Prontera, that's where the picnic area was.
As it turns out the rest of the people I was waiting for were already there, and to my dismay already started to eat the food. In that group was Reya a Rogue, Hio a Rune-Knight like myself, Nico another Priestess, and the married couple Sky the Hunter and Yasuo the Priestess. The rest of us raced to the table so we could get anything to eat before it was all gone. After eating we spent hours talking with each other about our adventures.
While Reya was telling us about one of her infamous thieving stories, I thought I heard a yell for help. I looked around and saw a Merchant stumbling towards us that I could have only assumed come from Prontera because the wounds he sported were so bad that if he had come from anywhere else he would have surely died on his journey. He screamed for us, and then collapsed on the ground, Yasuo was the first to get to him. He whispered his last words in her ear. She looked at us all in such a horrified state that none of us could recognize her.
"Prontera...is...under attack!" She whispered in an almost inaudible voice.
Sky shook her out of her ghastly gaze.
"Did he say who the monster leader was?!?" He asked trying to get any answers from his wife that he could.
Yasuo shook her head no; Sky helped her up from the ground where the Merchant's body laid. Nico volunteered to bury the body and give him burial rights. While she was doing that, the rest of us were in a circle not saying a word just looking at the ground in a horrified and frantic way. Suddenly Hio started to ask us if we should stay around here or if we should just head somewhere else until the invasion was over. No one said a word; we all just looked at each other, with a deep sigh I was the first to speak.
"Look, I know none of us thought that Prontera would have ever be under attack by monsters, but the horrific fact is that it is under attack. And as a Knight I have sworn to protect anyone and everyone from monsters, and this time will be no different. If you want to leave then I won't stop you, but I'm going to stay and help as many people as I can."
After my speech, I turned and started to walk away. To my surprise I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me. I turned my head to see Min right beside me, and everyone else was behind her with smirks on their faces.
"He he, don't get all high and mighty Omi. Just because we aren't all Knights doesn't mean we don't share the same feelings as you. We are all going to go and kick some monster ass, and save the day!" She said with a grin.
I smiled at everyone and we all start heading off towards Prontera. While rushing there I started thinking to myself how glad I was that all of them were with me, it kind of gave me more confidence and strength. While thinking that I guess I started to blush, because Nico looked at me and asked if I was alright. I said yes and smiled and I tried to play it off but I think she knew, because she gave me a smirk back. My happy demeanor suddenly turned to horror as we entered the outskirts of Prontera's walls...
