-Hero's Guild-
I screwed up on another quest. The Guildmaster I'm sure already knows... he always knows. I think he might finally tell me to return my Guildseal. If he dose, how can I keep my promise. Man... this sucks! Uh-oh! Here comes my executioner now!
"Silverna."
"G-Guildmaster! H-how's it going?"
"(sigh) I know ,I know... you don't have to say it... I've failed another one."
"Indeed. Lass, I know how you must feel, but you can not allow your personal feelings to interjrct with your duties as a hero."
"Feh. I know, but damn it!" She punched the wall out frustration. " I can't control how I feel!"
"Hmm... yes, appearantly." 'Uh-oh... the Guildmaster is taking this far too well. ...I'd better get out of here before he loses this good mood he's in...!'
"Well..., I think I'll go home and call it a day, see ya later sir!"
"Silverna..."
'FUCK!' She cursed inwardly, 'Too late...'
"Y-Yes sir?" She said as sweetly as possible.
"Before you go I'd like you to meet someone. She's waiting for in Maze's old quarters."
"Wha-! But sir, you said that no one was allowed to go up there."
"Normally that would be the case. But she wishes to see you 'alone'. You better hurry on over there. You shouldn't keep her waiting now."
Before she could get another word out, the Guildmaster had already started walking. Clearly saying "end of discussion".
"sigh ...Damn it all... Well if I intend to get any sleep today I'll have to do this quick."
"Hey Silverna!" A voiced called. Silverna mad a very unlady like grunt, and turned around to see a tall male with short brown hair, and a Odisian Great Axe slung over his shoulder. He smiled mockingly, "Well well well, if it isn't our constant screw up! You really blew another quest again!"
"What do you want Rahn?" She snapped. "I'm busy, and frankly not in the mood for any of your shit!"
"Whoa! Calm down "Tree Girl"! I just came to ask you if you spoke to Miss Theresa yet?"
"Theresa? Who the hell is that? And why dose that name sound so familiar?"
"Good grief woman! You really are 'slow', ain't ya'!" Silverna was so tempted to punch the holy hell out of Rahn. But decided to let him explain. "Theresa, is the Seeress that was spared 50 years ago by her brother, and legendary hero Grepher! Also known as "The Death Bringer!" You really should of payed attention in history you little idiot."
"... Your lucky I'm in a hurry. Thanks for the info, I owe!" She shouted as she head for the old tower.
Rahn snickered at the sight of her retreating form. "Ha! For a tomboy, she sure dose have cute backside!"
-Maze's old tower-
"Where have been Silverna? We've been waiting for you!"
"Master Briar Rose!"
Silverna had no idea that her master and teacher would be here! And she had a gut feeling that she heard about her recent failed quest.
"This her?" A young women with red hair, white skirt, orange armor and blindfold appeared before the two.
"Yes Theresa. This is Silverna. Silverna, this is an old friend of mine, Theresa."
"H-Hi..."
"How do you do, Silverna?"
"Can I ask you something?"
'Yes?"
"How old are you?" It took less than a second for Briar Rose to slap the hell out of the backe of Silverna's head. "Owww! Why'd you hit me!"
"Because your rude!"
"Its fine." Theresa assured her old friend, "If she really wants to know, I'm actually 75 years old."
'NO FUCKING WAY! Shes so youthful! And beautiful!'
"Now that thats taken cared of. I would like it if you could perform a little quest for me."
"W-What kind of quest?"
"If its not too much too ask, could you find my brother?"
"Silverna." Briar Rose interjected. "Its important that you find him."
Now things wern't making since to the young lady. Why her? "Why do 'I' need to find him?" Seriously. "Can' you contact him through his guild seal? And your a Seeress. Can't you find him?"
"No. I can not." Said an appearantly sad sister. "Briar, I leave rest to you. I have other things I must attend to." And with out another word Theresa left the two ladys to take care of her other matters whatever they were.
"Silverna. I suggest you get some rest, you'll need all the energy you can muster for this important assignment. A great danger is coming and we must be ready."
"Y-Yes ma'am."
(Silverna's Home in Bowerstone)
As she laid in her bed, eyes locked on to the ceilling, Silverna kept replaying earlier's events. And she kept on telling her self the same thing. "The warrior... Grepher. Also known as Death Bringer, and The Butcher of Albion. Do I want to encounter a man like that?" And then she thought of how little she actually knows about him. It was frustrating to say the least.Her masters words were still fresh in her mind. 'Grepher has been spotted in three locations through out Albion. The locations are Darkwood, Knothole Glade, and Oakvale. He'll be hard to find since he's constantly moving around, and if he's in hiding thats even worst.' Then there is that other thing she said. 'Silverna, not to put you down but I cant leave this to you aloone. Leila, Rahn, and Jewels will be going with as support. Is that clear?'
"...Loud and clear." She said to herself as she turned over and finally drifted to sleep.
(The next day in Darkwood)
The group of four walked through the cursed forest for hours searhing for their missing legend. Silverna was taking a brief brake as her blonde haired friend in Bright plate armor came over to give her a motivation. "Silverna come on!" He yelled. "We've got work to do! stop being so lazy and com on!" She simply gave him a dirty look, and turn her head with a very noticable "Humph!"
"Leave her alone Jewels." Rahn called out. "If the fat cow wants to rest, then I say we let her."
Silverna shot to her feet instantly. "Who you calling a "Fat Cow", huh!"
"Rahn, it really isn't polite to say things like that to a lady, you know?" Jewels informed his friend.
"That would be the case... if she were a lady that is."
All joking stopped as they seen their short, red-haired Will User running towards them with about 20 bandits in hot pusuit! "LEILA! GET DOWN!" Sceamed the Axman as several of the bandits had fired arrows at her! But instead of doing what Rhn told her to do, she created a shield around around here body causing all the once fatal projectials to bounce of her like rubber balls.
Rahn looked as if he about to have a heart-attack as she ran behind him. "(Sigh)... Jeez sis! Don't scare me like that."
"Sorry." Leila said as she now stood along side him.
Silverna had to know. "Why are this guys chasing you?"
"It would seem they're looking for Mr. Grepher too."
It seemed they had to leave it that because all the bandits charged at them all at once. And with one swing of his huge ax, Rahn had killed three of them already! All three of them were cut in two, as they were cleaved from the waist. Their bandit friends stopped their charge as they saw their buddies upper bodies fly over their heads, and blood covered their masked faces. "I anyone else wants 'fly', step on up!" Rahn dared them. Now dirven by vengence, the al attacked again. Starting one big battle royal! Jewels and Silverna met them head on, Master weapons in hands. Her katana and his long sword were cutting through the bandits like hot knives through butter! I didn't take long for them to be wearing the blood of those they've slain, it also didn't take long for both of them to realize they miscounted the amount of enemies. 'Shit!' Silverna inwardly cursed. 'There must be must be close to a hundred of these guys!' Rahn was was swinging his ax like a mad man, but also like a pro! It would seem that defense was not in his vocabular as bandit after bandit came at him, one loosing their life after another. But since her much bigger, but younger twin brother didn't believe in defense, she constantly was wacthing his back. Zapping multiple enemies to death with lightning.
"There's no end to them!" Silverna screamed as she removed one more head from a bandit's neck.
Just then out the corner of her eye, a man with a broad and tall appearance was casually walking past her and some bandits. She couldn't see his facial features all that well since he was wearing the same hat that you normally see a guard wearing. It was obvious he wasn't a guard though. Aside from the hat, he didn't dress like a guuard. Infact, he dressed prettty casually. And he wasn't armed by the looks of things 'This guy is nuts!' Or so it appeared. One of the bandits openly charged at the man, getting perpared to drive a rusty pickhammer down through the mystery man's skull. "Watch out!" For those three individuals, time seemed to adbruptly slow down. It happened so fast. With one swift movement, the stranger avoided the fatal strike, and with blinding speed connected a 'killer' uppercut to the bandits jaw. Silverna could only watch as she witnessed the now limp body of the bandit fall swiftly to the dark gound.
"Woman." The man called without turning around.
"W-What?"
"Let me see that sword of yours... I'll take care of this lot."
"What? Who do you think you are? Huh? Who are you!"
"... No one special. The name is Grepher."
