It Was More Than a Game
What if Diablo II wasn't just a game? Seven kids from around our world discover what it is like being a hero and saving a world not their own. Join in on the stories of the Sorceress, the Barbarian, The Paladin, The Assassin, The Necromancer, The Amazon, and The Druid as they fight together to complete the quests set before them and defeat powerful enemies. Join them as they make friends with each other and discover the horrors they must overcome both within themselves and in their surroundings.
WARNING: This is a test. Merely a test. I have not played the game Diablo or finished playing the game Diablo II. I was just introduced to it about a week or two ago so I don't know how far this story will progress . . .
Diclaimer: Hey. Guess what? I don't own the idea for Diablo or Diablo II. Duh! I bet you already knew that.
Introducing:
Rebecca Johnson as the feisty, loudmouth Amazon
Leigh-Chung Wang as the sweet, small Assassin.
Steven Taylor as the nerd-like Necromancer
Fernando Tambasco as the strong, outgoing Barbarian
Ronald Bourgeois as the courageous, valiant Paladin
Anna Deitsch as the smart, uncertain Sorceress
Hans Gertrude as the easy going Druid
(If you have the same first or last name, don't worry. These names are completely coincidental and are not modeled after anyone. These people do not exist and I made them up!)
OK here's the story.
: : :Because of the dangers that lurk within our world, I have summoned eight hero's that will hopefully be able to save our realm. Already we have lost many sister's, either because of death or an evil in their hearts. Unfortunately my power could only summon seven of the eight hero's and I fear that even with their power's and outer worldly knowledge even they may not be able to free us from this great evil. : : :
I don't know how it happened. One moment my brother was showing me this new computer game and the next I was suddenly outside in the cold wet rain at night. I was confused because it was supposed to be day and it wasn't raining. I looked around, but I couldn't see much of anything. Far away I saw a faint light of what looked like a campfire. I walked over there quietly not sure of what to do. Who could have guessed that I was in for one of the most dangerous and hardest adventure of my life.
I walked over there. There were two people sitting by it talking. I over heard them talking before they noticed me.
"So I had just put in the game on the computer when suddenly I found myself here. Now I don't believe in magic, but how do you explain that?"
"I wonder of it too."
It was a huge Hispanic looking boy talking to what I think was a small oriental girl. The boy had his back to me, turned toward the girl so I couldn't see much because of his rather large body.
It was the girl who looked over his shoulder and saw me.
"Look." she said motioning over to me.
He turned quickly and stood up his large tall body mass somewhat intimidating me.
"Who are you!" he said suspiciously.
"I'm, uh, Anna." I said with a little more accent then I would have liked. I had only learned English three years ago and sometimes my accent changed my speech.
"Do you know where we?" the oriental girl said with bad English. She stepped out from behind the boy. She was kind off small and her hair was cut short. I figured she was like me because English seemed to be her second language.
"I don't know. I just came here." I said still confused.
"Let me guess." the boy said. "It has something to do with a computer game called Diablo II?"
"Yes. My brother . . . He was just showing me how to play."
"Yeah. Well right when we started opening the box we got here." the boy said.
"You know each other?" I asked.
"No." the girl said. "We just met. I'm Leigh-Chung Wang." she said shaking my hand. "But you call me Leigh like my other friends at home."
I shook her hand and after I let go immediately the boy took my hand into his rather large one. "I'm Fernando." he said. It sounded like a Hispanic name I guess, even though he didn't have an accent.
Suddenly a black guy ran up to us. "I'm Ron!" he immediately said. "I over heard you talking. I just came here after opening the game on my computer too."
"This is strange." Fernando said.
"Hey you!" a girl yelled at us from far away.
"Come over here!" Fernando yelled back.
We waited as the girl came over to us. She stopped to catch her breath. Then looked at us and immediately said.
"OK. What the hell just happened!"
Later I figured out her name was Rebecca, Becky for short.
We ignored her as another person walked up to us from another direction.
"Uh. Hi." he said and introduced himself as Steven. He looked like one of those geek guys complete with the glasses and the nicely ironed and button shirt.
Finally we were joined by one other guy who had a thick German accent. He was Hans and I thought he looked handsome.
We all sat around the fire introducing ourselves and wondering how we got here when an old woman stepped in our view. We all sat there silent when we saw her. She seemed to have a mystical air of importance about her.
"Hello great strangers. I am Akara, spiritual leader of the Rouges. I know you have many questions, but you must listen to what I have to say first. A great evil has taken over the land I'm afraid. It has already been defeated once in a city far from our own, but now it has come back from the grave and is even stronger than before. I have brought you seven into our realm because many have already died trying to fight this evil. According to an ancient prophesy it is not someone from this world who can defeat this evil but from another. I have brought you here because perhaps one of you may be able to help us."
"Does this have something to do with that game?" Fernando interupted.
"Yeah. And would this 'evil' be called Diablo?" Becky said.
"Then you know the story already. I ask you strangers will you help us?"
"Just one minute." Hans said in his German accent. "Whats if we decide we do not vants to help you."
"Yeah. This sounds kind of dangerous." Ron said.
"It will be a dangerous fight . . ."
"Wait. Wait." Becky interrupted rudely. "I don't know about anyone else. But I don't even know how to fight!"
"You will each learn your special skills the longer you stay here. Plus I will give you weapons."
"What if we don't want to fight!" Steven interrupted. "What if we just want to go back to our home and play our computer games . . ."
"Your not scared are you?" Fernando teased.
"No!" Steven argued.
"Don't worry little bud. I'll protect you. I get in fights all the time. And I win them."
"Unfortunately I can only send you back when Diablo is dead." Akara said.
"What about those special powers and weapons you were talking about?" Fernando said.
"Ah yes." Akara said and walked over to Becky first.
"You have been chosen to be an Amazon warrior. Your weapon is the spear and bow. You can learn a lot at our camp. I myself will teach you. I will teach each of you. May the great eye watch over you." Akara said to Becky.
"Cool!" Becky said as she was given a javelin. She went a little off practicing its use.
Next Akara went to Leigh. "You know some martial arts I understand."
"Yes." Leigh answered somewhat shy, but awed by the woman.
"That will be much use for you in these lands. I believe you will best be played as an assassin. You are light footed and better for taking out your enemies by surprise."
"I never would have guessed she would be an assassin." Fernando whispered to Steven who laughed nervously because he was next.
"You will fight as a Necromancer. You will have the ability to raise the dead and cast curses as you progress through this land."
"Wicked!" Fernando commented and then straightened up when she turned toward him.
"You are the strongest of everybody here and you know some about fighting."
"You bet!" he said proudly.
"I believe you will best be fit to be a Barbarian."
Leigh started to chuckle at that, but she tried to hide it.
"You take your foes out by using your strength and by quickly running in, attacking, and then retreating. May you use your Barbarian skills well." He stood proudly as he tried out his new weapon.
Next Akara turned to Ron.
"You have a noble heart and are a natural leader. You will be called a Paladin as you use your strength and honor and magic to defeat evil. May you fight with a peaceful mind."
I gulped as it was my turn. I didn't know any martial arts. I wasn't that strong or big. I wasn't even outgoing or anything. I didn't even like to fight.
She looked at me and smiled as if to tell me it was all right.
"You will be a sorceress as your mind is acute and you avoid fighting at all cost."
Hans listened intently next to me eyeing me curiously while everybody else either tested their new skills and weapons or talked to each other about them. I shifted nervously as he looked at me, but Akara didn't seem to notice.
She gave me a staff and I held it firmly in my hands. It was light, but I could feel a faint warmth coming from it. It must be magic I mused.
Then she went to Hans and explained his powers of a Druid. He could call upon the forest creatures to aid him and even take form of them. I was jealous but then I realized the staff was in my hand and I held onto it firmly.
"Now." Akara said to everyone as they quieted down.
"Let us go to the camp. There are people there you must meet who will help you."
And with that we left to go to the camp. And I wondered what sort of adventure we were in for.

I hope that wasn't too bad for you. Who knows if I'll continue. It isn't as good as a story as I had hoped. Plus I don't really know much about the game. (So why am I even writing this I don't know.) It is in the sorceress's point of view I know. But I might change from character to character throughout the story. Like all the people I made up. I tried to be as diverse as possible using a Russian, Asian, German, African American, and Hispanic. Hope you are not offended. Unfortunately I don't know much about these cultures. As I said this is only a test. So review and tell me how bad it is if you like. And if you can do better I commend you. You can even use the character names if you like. I think the idea is good I just need to work on the point of views and character development. Maybe even better dialogue. Well goodbye, Diablo players . . . .
