Disclaimer: I do not own FFXI... let me tell you... I wish I did...
imagine how rich I would be. All I own is my characters name and the
attitude and adventure that comes along with him
Background
Goero: My character... obviously... and let me tell you the coolest person you will come across in FFXI... at least that's my opinion!
Kiero: My friends character... he's a little slow... he had 2 weeks to get ahead of me and I'm already stronger then him again.
Bayard: Kiero Step Brother's Character... he's a bit pushy... but you get used to it when he's always 5 levels above you.
Esmerlda: The cutest little stool... err Taru Taru you will ever meet... unfortunately this taru... has a really bad attitude...
Shienn: This guy never ceases to amaze me... every time I turn around he's already gained like another 5 levels.
Ok time for the story.
I walked silently through the capital of the Elvaan country, Sandoria. Imagine... a HUME living and claiming allegiance to Sandoria. Well anyways... As I walked through the hallways I came across a guard (I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about if you started in Sandoria, I just can't remember his name... it's been a while) After talking to the guard and being blessed by the Arguing Princes, I was on my way. I wondered around with my Onion Sword newly equipped. I walked through the hallways and wondered if my parent's birthplace, Bastok, was anything like this place.
I wondered our of Port Sandoria and out into Northern Sandoria, and following a crowd for well equipped and armored people I ended up at the gate between Sandoria and West Ronfuare. I talked to the guard in front of the door who gave me a mission to go out and kill Orcish Scouts and get one of their axes. Why not. So with my new mission I talk to the Royal Guard next to the gate and ask for my Signet. If I'm going out to fight I might as well get points for it. Stepping through the gate I was confronted with new things I never imagined before. I saw rabbits and worms and even the occasional Orc wondering around. I stepped out onto the path and walked into the forest content on beginning my Mission.
Boy was that stupid. I attacked an Orc. Let me tell you. At Level 1... A Hume Warrior Versus a Orc Fodder... does not equal a very pretty picture. But I didn't know that yet. So I attacked it! I ran forward at the Orc and wrenched my Onion sword from it's sheathe and slashed the Orc across the midsection. The Orc looked down at the tiny little scratch I had left in his armor and growled and smashed his axe down onto my shoulder. God it hurt. I staggered back and ran forward again. This time going for a stab. The Orc sidestepped me and leveled his axe and probably broke a few of my ribs with its connection. Now that I am heavily injured and bleeding from my shoulder and stomach. I turn to run, the Orc immediately gives chase as I run his axe imbeds itself in my lower back, causing me to bleed more, and have a hard time walking. I make it into the city only because a higher level character attacked the Orc as I stumbled toward the gateway.
Ok so now that I'm bleeding profusely but at least I am in the safety of the city, so I go to a corner and kneel down, resting, which I defiantly needed. I watched more and more people go in and out of the city while my body repaired itself from the injuries I took. Finally I was strong enough to stand again and pretty much good as new, so I once again struck out into the wilderness. I had learned my lesson the first time, so now I think ill just stick to the worms and the rabbits. As I went down the path, making sure to dodge an Orc that might be in the area, I came across a worm, a carrion worm to be exact. I attack it with a holy vengeance. Not knowing that a Level 1 has a tough time killing them. But hey... 2 wrongs make a right... well at least in this case it does. I ran at the worm, unsheathed my blade and slashed. The blade flashed and then thudded into the skin of the Carrion Worm. The worm whipped around in anger and started casting Stone on me. I yanked my Blade free and brought it down on the Worm again. But the worm casted stone, so right as I would have hit the worm, decent sized stones started to crash into my body. Shaking off the dirt and small bits of stone that were on my body I rushed the worm again and slashed into it once more. This time I almost cut all the way through. Jumping around behind it I got ready to slash again but this time the worm spun itself and smacked into my right side. Oh the pain. It felt like I had just been whipped. Shaking off the pain I brought the blade down onto the top of the worm and cut it in half. The thing slumped over dead. And I celebrated over my first kill, by resting!
Ok peoples.... First story I've actually written and posted for anyone to see. So uh... take it easy please? Oh and for any of you doubters... yes this is how it started. I'm sure you would remember your first few fights if they had been like mine... anyways. Review please. Just so I can know what to change... Or if you have seen me in game and want to say something...
