It's almost midnight when a lone figure dashed through the streets

of Prontera. She was an acolyte. Upon reaching the southern gate, she looked back and bided farewell to her once lovely hometown…

Not long after the girl's disappearance, light shone in a house. A high priestess panicked as she rummaged through her house. Looking frantically for her daughter," Claire? Claire! Where are you?" A brown-haired monk walked up to her side, putting a hand on his wife's shoulder hoping to comfort her. Then, something caught the monk's sharp eyes. It's a nicely folded blue paper that was left on the floor. He picked it up and began reading it.

Dear: Mom& Dad

By the time, you read this letter. I must be long gone from the house. Please don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I just want to experience myself what is life all about. Take care….

Claire

The high priestess couldn't believe her eyes. Her daughter just left her with a letter. She sunk to her knees, crying.

Claire was walking further to the Prontera's field. A figure emerged from the shadow, blocked her. "I thought you will pass here." The other figure stated warmly. Claire was taken back for a minute before stammered," Maria? What are you doing here?" Maria, the blue-haired acolyte only smiled at her friend," To company you, of course. I thought you'll be lonely." Claire smiled at her, she felt really grateful for the other acolyte's warm presence. "Yes. Shall we go then?" Maria nodded as the two went deeper into the forest.

6 years later….

Maria reluctantly woke up from her sleep. She took a quick bath and headed to the kitchen. Apparently, she's not the only one who is already awake. "Morning. Sleep well?" the knight greeted. The priestess nodded cheerfully to her fellow guild mates, causing the older woman to smile. Not long before, Mellisa, Claire's older sister, created a guild named

'Wings of Hope' and they were part of it. The small guild consists of 7 people. Mellisa, the leader, Vee, Neris, Steph, Maria, Claire and Jean. They got along really well together. Maria did her share of job making breakfast. Neris and Vee went down, followed suit by Claire, Steph, and Mellisa. They greeted each other casually. "All right girls today we're going to train in the toy factory." The blonde-haired stated. Neris, the wizard groaned, she disliked cold. It always brings her bad luck somehow. "Not Lutie again! How about Aldebaran?" she whined. Steph shook her head," it'll be better to hunt at Lutie, but I got certain things to do in Payon." Jean nodded," I've got to deliver things to Izlude. I can't follow you guys." Mellisa sat down and ruffled her long hair," OK, let's split up then. Neris and Steph you go and train in Payon's cave. Jean and Vee will go train in Byaland. Then, Maria, Claire, and I will train at Lutie. "They all nodded to their guild leader, satisfied with her decision. Mellisa sighed feeling a little bit relieved and started eating her pancakes. Morning passed as usual in the guild's headquarter.
