A New Beginning

Note: Any terms on Ragnarok do not belong to me, but to Gravity. If I did, I would get the magicians to chant actual SPELLS when it comes to calling Nature's power :(

-A brief summary of monsters with comments will be at the bottom of the page. Perhaps you'll want to read that first? It is your choice.

Into the Story

The forest was calm and quiet, its silence unperturbed by unnecessary noises of merry-making.

Small Porings hopped about, together with the caterpillar-like Fabre , and the white rabbit, Lunatic.

Near a river, there was a lady with flowing blue hair sitting down beside it, letting the wind whistle through her ears.

Her figure was unmistakably prone, her eyes with an azure blue. Wearing full armor bearing the crest of Prontera, the capital city of Rune-Midgard, told the few passer-bys she was a full-fledged Swordsman, with added effect by the Broadsword lying on the ground beside her. Having a figure praised by the gods, she could effortlessly, often unintentionally, lull people to stare.

Out of the blue, a loud ear-piercing scream shattered the quietness of Prontera Pavilion. A young Novice was fleeing from an angered Willow, flailing her arms helplessly. To make matters worse, she had tripped on a rock. Looking with fear-ridden eyes at the towering trunk of wood, she feared the worse.

She heard a sword sliding from its scabbard, a swift slash across the Willow's body, and the monster was subdued by mere seconds. Looking up, she saw her saviour extending a hand towards her. Gratefully taking it as she was still unsteady from her trauma awhile ago, she looked into the other female's eyes.

"Are you alright? You had a quick shave back there..." the lady enquired, her voice gentle.

"Ah… U-Um, Yes, thank you very much..." the novice peered back shyly at her, stepping over the lifeless splintered wood mess on the floor and giving it a wary prod.

Smiling, the lady replied "That's good… and where would you be heading? "

The Novice looked back with a sudden surge of pride as she proclaimed, "I'm going to Geffen, to be the greatest Magician there ever was!" and with a soft whisper "…Although I already seem to have problems even GETTING there…"

The swordsman laughed, "If you would allow me, I would join you on that trip… I have an acquaintance to meet as well…"

The novice could not hide a grateful face while exclaiming, "Of course! I would be delighted. My name is Lacerta Glorfindel… and what would be yours?"

The lady gave a smile, replying softly, "I am Altariel… Altariel Palantir… Pleased to be of service...and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Stuff you might need to know.

-Poring, What we call as a Pink blob of bouncing goo… It enjoys swallowing items whole, no matter how big they are.

-Fabre, A caterpillar-like worm (as above) that in time will turn into a Chrysalis, and with luck , into the butterfly, Creamy.

-Lunatic, As I think they are named due to their unkempt fur (which sprouts everywhere) , is a white rabbit that seems prone to human (player) massacre due to their fur, which can be made into Silk Robes.

-Willow, A Tree Trunk(?) made alive by the influence of dark magic, these tree-like organisms are aggressive, camouflaging against the forestry around it and swiping at in-alert Novices passing by.

-Prontera, One of the five major Cities, the capital of Rune-Midgard, is a luxurious city that the Royalties reside in, namely, King Tristian the Third. Also another place for Swordsman to choose between joining the Crusaders, or the Knights.

-Geffen, One of the five Major cities, Is the city of Magic. This was the place where aspiring young Novices could train to become Magicians, to Wizards, and with the blessing of Thor, Transcend into the Elementalist (High Wizard)…

I hoped you enjoyed the bits of my imaginations… This is my first, and I'll be hoping to have the time to write a sequel… Please leave reviews if you wish, but otherwise, I would mostly appreciate

-Next up, a Trip to Geffen… Who knows what will lie in their trip? And how could two ladies with such differing personalities get along? Find out in the next chapter! (-An uneventful trek to a city… Or is it?-)
