Sorry guys, I've been beyond busy. Well I wrote this...fan fic, because I've played a lot of LOA. I did forget stuff, and changed stuff. Remember, it's not super accurate, but it is a fanfiction There are parts that need some work, but oh well. I only used characters from my server, Some characters may resemble real players, AKA My rl friends who play, ALL names have been changed!
Anyway, enjoy...
When you're a child you're not very smart. Ignorant. Not all children are like this but sadly, I was. When I was 15 years old I walked into a river and almost died.
"Bye home." I whispered as I left my small, cottage in the quiet Elf Village. I had just turned 15, and knew very little about the world, but I was determined to make my living as a hero.
Taking only my Lycorax, my father's old sword, and a sack of the few possessions I had and some food, I set off trying to find my way the World Tree, the place where both humans and Angels gather, the place where I would become a legend.
I didn't leave much behind, I didn't really have any friends, and both my parents were dead.
I set off, traveling for many hours. It was dark when my Lycorax stopped
"Come on Ruin, we'll get there soon." I coaxed my mount a little farther, it was dark, and I could tell he was tired. We had been riding for hours, I didn't want to stop though. Suddenly I jerked forward. Ruin had stopped abruptly.
It was too dark to see, "Move!" I snapped. He just growled and refused to move. Finally I had enough, I jumped off and pulled out my sword. "I'll prove there's nothing there!"
Stupid. I should've listened. As soon as I stepped forward I fell into a cold, raging river.
The current was to fast and strong, I tried to pull myself to the surface, but the darkness was consuming me.
Is this it? To die at 15..
But it wasn't the end. Something bright and beautiful grabbed my arm, helping me fight my way to the surface. My head made it to the surface, I gasped and sputtered up water. Ruin pulled on my armor, dragging me to the surface. Once the shock faded, I was face to face with my savior. She was glowing white, her skin was a pale cream color, blonde hair glowing yellow, floating 2 feet off the ground, staff in hand, was an angel.
"Hello, hero." She greeted me.
"Oh gods.." I was shocked. I couldn't move.
She smiled and helped me to my feet, Ruin moved so I leaned against him. "You..You saved me." I stuttered, at an utter loss of words.
She closed her eyes and turned her head, smiling bigger. "Yes. I couldn't stand by and let me future mistress die."
Future...? I was going to bond with her? I didn't even know her name.
"It's Lorelei, and yes." She touched my hand, my body filled with warmth as she touched me. She dropped a small, pink and gold item into my hand.
I studied it. The rock was heart shaped, and had gold metal surrounding it. It felt warm and it had a slight yellow tint to it. It was a summoning rock, a blessing of Lorelei.
"Oh gods." I couldn't believe it, the angel Lorelei..I heard only rumors about her was supposed to be bonded to the bravest, and wisest hero. Out of all heros, she chose me as her bond?
"I see your spark, your will to fight, your selflessness, your will to help others. Everything that makes you a great hero." She pulled away. I couldn't move..what was I supposed to do? Remember what you're supposed to say when you bond… I struggled to remember the words to the Angel pact
"It's Okay." She smiled again
I suddenly remembered the words..
"Take your time." She continued to smile
I nodded, I knew exactly what to do. Holding the rock, knelt down and put it out in front of me. "I, the hero Bane, with the name meaning Chaos, offer the angels and gods the Summoning Rock of Lorelei. Lorelei, angel of wisdom and courage, offer myself as a bond, and pray you shroud me with your halo. As we fight alongside each other, I.. I'll protect you as I protect myself. Lorelei I bond to you." I looked up to see the rocks glow and evaporate.
"I the angel Lorelei, angel of wisdom, bond to you the Hero Bane, with the name meaning Chaos. I will fight alongside you and protect you as I protect myself. I will guide you on your quest, and help you in your times of fear. Bane the hero, I bond to you." She touched my chest, and it glowed. A small heart, with white wings was left when she pulled away.
"My guardian symbol. I can be summoned if you touch it, unless however, you wish me to stand with you, as you travel."
I nodded, "Please, do."
"I will do as you ask hero."
I mounted my Lycorax. "Lorelei..how far away am I from the nearest Tavern?" I asked taking the reins of the bridle.
"Not to far, there's a bridge close to the river, I will light the way." Her staff instantly began to glow, as she lead the way to the tavern.
I was tired and cold, Lorelei lead the way to a large, wooden tavern. I heard shouts over the loud music coming from inside.
"I cannot enter in my angel form." Lorelei stopped outside the door. "That's okay.." I walked over to her, still shivering. "I'll call you if I need you."
She smiled and evaporated with a cloud of pink glitter.
I sighed, nervous still. I walked inside, and went straight to the check in desk, leaving Ruin outside. "Uh..I'd like a room." I told the Innkeeper. She looked and me and gasped. "Yes right away, you look like you're about to catch a chill. Here, 3rd door on the left, there's running water, so get bathe as well. Just call if you need me." She handed me a key, I didn't even get a chance to say anything and she shooed me away. "Wait, can I use the stable, my Lycorax is still outside." I called, She looked at me with a weird look. "Lycorax? Where'd you get that? Must've been expensive." She looked me up and down.
"My parents used to breed them."
"Ah..well yes, I'll.." She got cut off. "I'll take care of that." A man with dark brown hair, and charming green eyes stepped forward. His armor was black and grey, a large sword strapped to his belt. He smiled, he didn't look any older than 17. My jaw almost dropped, I knew him..I've seen him before..he was one of the most legendary heroes.
"You're.." i was at a loss for words
"Seer, yep. I can put your Lycorax away, I'm on my way out anyway." He nodded towards the door. "Hey Seer," another man walked towards us, he was a little taller and his hair was lighter, he had brown eyes and grey armor, he had a drunken and cocky expression on his face. "Uh, who's this?" He poked Seer in the ribs.
"No one." I moved away.
"Joe..can you get Vere, and Flora?" Seer turned to the man, awkwardly rubbing his arm.
Joe, Vere. Flora? Some of the greatest heros were here, that's when I figured out what tavern I was in. Gloried Legends. It was rumored to house some of the biggest legends in the whole realm. Oh Jeez..it's my lucky day. I moved away, "Thank you, but I got it."
I went back outside into the cold, "Ruin, come." I started to walking towards a large, wooden stable around the back of the Tavern. "So when you and Vere gonna get married, Seer?" The drunken voice of Joe behind me, made me stop. Vere and Seer..married?
"i don't know. Come ask me when you're not drunk." Seer laughed, kissing Vere on the cheek.
"He hasn't even proposed." Vere laughed
Seer then turned to her "Vere..will you marry me?" He pulled out a silver ring, encrusted with red markings. A large jewel in the center.
"Whooo!" Some more people from the tavern were watching.
I turned away, and heard a "Yes." From behind me.
I wonder what it would be like, to have a love like that. I sighed. I shouldn't be thinking like that. I was only 15, and I didn't have very much money.
After stabling Ruin, I made my way to my room. I peeled off my armor, and sunk myself into a hot bath. "Ah…" Relief filled my body.
I had a long day, as soon as the water begin to get cold, I dried myself off and passed out.
I dreamt of love and adventure….
