Ragnarok; the fan fiction
Chapter one: Consequences
"HYAAA" Came the voice of Gray, a Crusader from Izlude, as his sword penetrated the skull of an orc skeleton. The skeleton fell to the floor and its pieces rolled away.
"Damn, only skel-bones." Gray said, kicking the bones around, looking for something in the rubble.
"What exactly are you looking for?" A second voice said. This was the voice of Gray's almost identical twin brother Kyari, who also happened to be a crusader.
"You know what I'm looking for, Kya." Gray said, kicking the skull across the cave floor.
"Well then your fighting the wrong monsters, Emporium is dropped by Zombie not skeleton. Best thing you'll get from Skel is orc helm." Kyari muttered, leaning on his shield.
"But… that guy said that…for guilds you need a… but…" Gray said, looking down heartened.
"This?" Kyari said, holding up a large golden crystal.
"Emporium…" Gray muttered, awe-struck.
"Yeah. I'll sell it to you for 100,000z" Kyari said moving the emporium from side to side and watching as Gray's eyes followed it.
"100,000z… wait, I can't afford that."
"Fine. Just take it, but your making me your second in charge." Kyari said. Grinning he threw the golden crystal to his brother.
Gray caught it and stared at it. He smiled triumphantly and raised it into the air.
"CREATE!" he shouted "ARCH ANGELS!" the emporium glowed and engulfed Gray. The emporium evaporated after about a minute and then the glow faded.
"Nice." Kyari said, "How do you feel?"
"Erm… do you want the truth or do you want to hear that it's an amazing feeling?"
"Truth."
"There is no difference, I don't feel anything, I don't think it worked."
Kyari chuckled. "You may not feel anything," he said "but there IS a difference." Kyari lifted his shield and walked behind Gray, showing Gray in the reflection a pair of white wings embroidered into his cape.
"Cool" he muttered.
"About our deal?" Kyari said.
"Oh right." Gray raised his hand to Kyari and closed his eyes. A bolt of gold shot out of his hand and into Kyari's chest. He also glowed for a second and the same embroidered wings appeared on his back.
"I am Gray, the Guardian Angel." Gray said
"And I am Kyari, Angel of Hope." Kyari said.
"That sounds so corny." Came a voice from around a corner. Footsteps followed as a woman came around the corner. She was a rogue, she wore a eye patch and demon wings on her head.
"And you are?" Gray asked, gripping his sword.
"Me? I'm Eris, a Rogue from Prontera." She said, throwing her dagger into the air and catching it as it fell.
"And what do you think gives you the right to mock us?" Kyari asked, stabbing his shield into the ground.
"Oh, no, don't get me wrong, I wasn't mocking you…" she paused "… ok, maybe jus a little, but that's not the point."
"What, by the way, Is the point?" Gray asked, a little impatient now.
"The point is, I'm trying to help. You're a new guild right?" Eris asked, walking closer.
"Yes, we are now a guild."
"Well I have been in pretty much every guild you can name. All of them have 2 things in common. The first is that they were great guilds and the second, is that they are no more."
"Another similarity might be that you were a member of their guilds." Kyari said.
"why thank you. You believe that I am the reason they were so great."
"Actually I think he was saying you were the reason they fell." Gray Said, releasing the grip on his sword.
Just like her guilds Eris' face fell. "HEY I'LL TELL YOU TWO IDIOTS SOMETHING." She yelled "I'M HERE TRYING TO BE KIND AND GIVE YOU IDIOTS SOME GUILD ADVICE AND ALL YOU CAN DO I BE MEAN, YOU ARE THE RUDEST PAIR OF CRUSADERS I HAVE EVER MET!" when she stopped speaking she was panting a little and Gray and Kyari were dumb struck.
"Sorry," Gray said timidly, "didn't mean to offend you"
Her expression was back to its usual grin. "I forgive you" she said, "now am I gonna have to beg or are you going to invite me into your guild?"
"You actually want to join our group?"
"Yeah, you two might not know what is going on a lot of the time, but you have heart, I like that. I want to help you out."
"Thanks" Gray raised his hand and aimed it at Eris. A bolt of gold shot out and engulfed her. The glow quickly subsided and her right shoulder and her eye patch now had a pair of wings on them.
"To our first recruit" Gray said raising his beer mug into the air.
The three of them had returned to Prontera after their meeting for the night. They decided that they should have a good nights sleep before getting down to business.
"Thank you." Eris said raising her glass as well.
"So what do we do now?" Kyari asked, drinking some of his beer. He turned to Eris and looked expectantly.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked, placing her drink on he table.
"Well, you are the guild expert." Kyari sad leaning back in his chair.
"Oh, so now you want to hear what I have to say?"
"He allowed you into the guild didn't he?"
"I allowed her into the guild because she wanted to be in the guild bro, no other reason, but your help would be appreciated" Gray said turning now to Eris.
"Well, since you asked so nice." Eris said as she placed her glass onto the table. "first thing you need to do is get a bit of status."
"Ok, so how do we do that?"
"Well there are a few ways, the bad way, start to take on players, the good guy way would be to start saving people, but the way I suggest is for you to take on a lord monster."
"A lord monster?"
"Like the golden thief bug, or Osiris, but I think he was destroyed already. If I were you I would find out what Lord monster is doing the most damage at the moment and take it out."
"Ok, sounds smart. Once we're semi well known what do you suggest?" Gray asked staring out of the window at a bright light that seemed to be getting bigger.
"well then your ready to recruit more people will want to join you and less people will reject you."
Gray just nodded, his eyes hadn't left the light which had now changed into at least 100 little lights.
Gray's eyes grew wide as he through the table out of the way, grabbing his shield and raising it over his and Eris' head. "Kyari, arrows!" all of the others in the bar had seen Gray's commotion and done nothing, but then the first arrow embedded itself in the bar they had moved themselves under their tables.
"What is going on?" Kyari muttered as the arrows began to rain down on the shields and tables.
"Its an arrow shower attack! It must have been other people, archers or hunters probably." Eris said, looking out of the window from under the shield.
"But why are they attacking us?" Kyari asked, moving closer to his friends.
"We're a guild now, we are old guilds new competition, get used to it." Eris smiled and brought out her dagger. "you have two choices, choice 1 we fight them now, Choice 2 we fight them later."
