Well guys, here it goes!

Vinny just woke up from his alarm clock.
He set it at 4:30 AM, he'd have to leave soon for his trip to Karis Castle.
Groaning he slowly let the cappuccino machine make coffee for him.
While waiting he thought back to yesterday evening.
xXx
12:00 PM - Keolloseu ~ In a mind
xXx
Everyone was shocked at the result of Celestial Legends ending up at the top.
Some were jealous, some were happy for us.
None the less everyone was still happy, and of course, members of Celestial Legends were cheering above everyone else.
The day couldn't get any better..
xXx
4:45 AM - In Vinny's apartment
xXx
The cappuccino was done.
Vinny picked up the cup and started taking sips.
Today at 8:25 AM Vinny would be leaving, sooner than needed.
But Vinny didn't mind.
Well, he was glad actually, he always told himself the words his dad spoke to him...
''Son, whenever you're having a difficult mission or order from your guild, just get on with it, the sooner the better...''
He'd never forget those words, even thought it'd hurt every time he had to think about his dad...
Vinny finished his cappuccino and stood up, getting his bag and going to the stable his Sunsteed was in.
After Vinny reached the stable his Sunsteed gave a grunt to greet him.
Vinny looked at his Sunsteed, he was a rare one, the Sunsteed had an magnificent blue, green and red aura around him.
He found him when we was young, and abandoned, so Vinny decided to take care for him.
Vinny decided to keep him, and the Sunsteed didn't have any problems with that.
He decided to name the Sunsteed Shade.
After giving Shade a quick meal Vinny got on his back and left for the trip to Karis Castle.
xXx
2 days later - Silvaren
xXx
Vinny had been traveling for a two days straight, and decided that he and Shade could use some rest.
After putting Shade in a stable he went to his room he hired.
Thinking about the past two days, it was uneventful.
On the first day he found an old lady having trouble with carrying a basket full of apples.
Vinny offered help to the old lady, which she gladly accepted.
After walking with the old lady to their destination she thanked him and gave him an apple, even tough Vinny said that it was okay.
The second day he found a few fighters fighting and killing monsters, but they were about to be killed by them, so Vinny decided to step in and help them.
After helping them up and giving them some food he left again.
He was glad he could help people stay alive, even if it was only a little longer.
Finally feeling the sleep hitting him he decided to get under the blankets, and sleeping through the silent blue night.
In his dreams, a girl haunted him...
xXx
Time Unknown - Place Unknown ~ In a dream
xXx
''What... Where am i?'' Vinny said out loud.
''Wh-...'' Vinny thought, until he saw the corpse of his dad on the Proelium Frontier field.
''...'' Vinny was trying hard to keep in his tears, not wanting to shed any tears for his dad when his dad told him not to.
''Heh, you're his son ain't you?'' Someone said.
Turning around Vinny saw nothing, only a pair of knuckles aiming for his face.
Paralyzed with fear the only thing Vinny could do was close his eyes, at least, he tried.
His body wouldn't do anything he said, he thought once again why the hell his body wouldn't move if he was scared.
Before the knuckles hit he saw a girl's face... The one saw back in the past when he was abandoned...
But for some reason her face held an sad look, almost as if she was feeling remorse for doing this to him.
''Suki...'' Vinny faintly whispered.
Just after that the knuckles made contact.
xXx
2:47 AM - Silvaren
xXx
Gasping Vinny shot up from his bed, taking a few deep breaths he looked at his clock.
It was early, 2:49 AM.
''It's early to go out, yet to late to sleep, what do i do now?'' Vinny sighted.
Vinny rubbed his sore eyes and tried to get through the morning without falling asleep.
''Damn, only if they had a coffee here...''
Vinny wondered how the guild was doing, or more specifically, Shin, Noel, Aph and Dev.
He started thinking about the day before he left again.
xXx
8:59 AM - Guild House ~ In a mind
xXx
''Vinny, due to all the new people we've been getting, our Magic Leather was used up for getting new weapons.'' Dev said.
''Okay, so you need me to go get some?'' Vinny asked.
''Yes, do you know where to get them?''
''I heard that there are oxes in Karis Castle, which sometimes have magic leather on them.''
''Yes, so, get packing today and stay for tomorrow's GRB. You will leave after two days.''
''Alright, got it, pack today and tomorrow, leaving in two days.'' Vinny repeated.
xXx
3 AM - Silvaren
xXx
Vinny thought that Dev was a great guy, serious when needed, but great and nice most of the time.
But he really started regretting accepting this order, if he wanted he could decline this, and it would have been requested to another person, of course a penalty would follow.
But Vinny didn't want anyone to go to Karis Castle for this because he didn't want to.
Suddenly Vinny heard the birds chirping, a sign that they have woken up.
Looking out his window he saw birds flying around, wishing he also was one of them, free to fly where ever they want.
Crooking his neck Vinny laid back down on his bed.
He stared blankly to whatever caught his attention.
4 hours later Vinny felt like he's waited long enough.
Doing his morning routines he felt less sleepy.
After Vinny was done he put on his Adamas armor and walked to the reception desk.
Paying he said his goodbye and left to the stable.
Shade was already up and said grunted.
''G'morning Shade.'' Vinny said.
Shade neighed as a response.
Vinny got Shade out of the stable and went on his back.
''2 more days until we reach Karis Castle...''
While riding on his Sunsteed Vinny was daydreaming again.
Thinking about the strange dream he had today.
Wondering if there was any connection between his daily daydreaming and dream.
And also, wondering what the sad look on Suki's face was about...
Splat...
It started to rain.
Vinny told his Sunsteed to go faster, and Shade complied.
xXx
8 AM - Huigronn Stronghold
xXx
1 day has passed.
1 more to go.
Vinny had hired another room in Huigronn Stronghold, seeming as it rained and wouldn't let up for any time soon.
He was glad he earned a lot of money at Celestial Legends for doing orders Dev gave him.
Looking at the rain he shivered.
It felt cold.
xXx
? - ? ~ In a mind
xXx
''Where am i?''
''It's so dark... I can't see anything...''
Vinny felt like he was 5 years old again, and was proven right by looking at himself.
''I see a light...''
Vinny tried to reach the light, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it...
''Wait a minute... Why does it feel like I'm in an anime, this scene has been played so many time over...''
Not caring Vinny tried to reach the light again, only he tried harder this time, and started jumping to reach it.
''Almost... Almost...''
When Vinny captured the light, he held in in his hands like it was a snowball, not letting the light escape if it tried to.
When he opened his hands he couldn't find anything.
''Vinny...''
''What is this voice? it has a deep authority with it... Vinny wondered.
''I hope you can forgive me...''
''What?''
''Stay true to the words I've spoken to you, do what i couldn't do... never abandon the ones you love...''
Vinny tried to talk but he couldn't find his voice.
''Never forget... live your life like you want to... don't have any regrets...''
Vinny stopped trying to talk but listened to the words.
''What is he saying? Do i know him?''
''Don't ever lose that cheerful smile Vinny.''
''...''
''The smile me and your mother adore so much...''
''My mom... then that means...''
''Goodbye, son...''
xXx
8:20 AM - Huigronn Stronghold
xXx
Vinny got out of his daze, and sat there for 5 minutes.
Replaying what just happened in his mind.
''Dad...''
Vinny stood up and did his morning routines, and put on his Adamas gear.
After that he went to the reception desk and payed.
He went to the stable and took out his Sunsteed.
Shade grunted a hello.
''G'morning Shade.''
And they went on with their trip.
Along the way nothing really happened, some creatures looked at Vinny and walked away, nothing important happened.
After traveling for half a hour they stumbled upon an orc camp.
''Let's avoid going there...'' Vinny said, not feeling like fighting today.
Shade merely grunted.
Taking another route they finally reached the bridge which led to Karis Castle.
Walking over the bridge Vinny took in his surroundings.
It was natural for the most part.
There were four lookout towers with two guards in each of them.
Most of them weren't paying much attention right now.
Vinny sighted, and wondered what they'd do when a few darkies would show up.
After walking across the bridge without any incidents Vinny asked a guard the way to Karis Castle.
''Go straight, and then you'll see a two way road, take the left path and you'll see an big gate, that's the entrance to Karis Castle.''
''Thanks.''
After going straight he found a two way road like the guard told him.
Taking the left path he walked with his Sunsteed, not feeling like riding on the horse seeing they were almost there, and wanting to take in the views of Karis Castle.
Vinny walked for about fifteen minutes before reaching a giant gate.
''Wow..''
''Yea, i know, pretty impressive right?'' A female voice asked.
Looking at the person who asked it it was an ranger wearing dragon armor.
''Yea it is.''
''By the way, my name is Sheila.''
''My name is Vinny, nice to meet you.''
''Likewise.'' Sheila said with a smile.
''So what brings you to Karis Castle?''
''I was ordered here to get some magic leather by killing oxes.''
''Ahh, i see.''
''Well, I'll see you later i guess.''
''Bye!''
xXx
8:25 PM - Karis Castle
xXx
''Guess I'll go look for a room to stay, I'll start looking for magic leather tomorrow.'' Vinny thought.
After he got an room in an inn he went to a bar to get something to drink.
Reaching the bar Vinny asked for a can of coke.
''One can of coke, coming right up!'' The bartender said.
After Vinny paid for the coke he opened the can and started sipping.
After burping a few times Vinny gulped down the last drop of coke, threw it in a trash can and went to the room he hired.
He bumped into someone on his way.
''Sorry, i wasn't lookin-, Oh, hey Sheila.'' Vinny said.
''Hey Vinny, its no problem, really!'' Sheila said.
''Hey, 'tcha doing here?'' Vinny asked.
''I'm here with friends.'' Sheila said.
''Okay.'' Vinny said.
''What are you doing here?'' Sheila asked.
''I hired a room here until I'm going back to Keolloseu, i was just heading towards my room.'' Vinny said.
''Okay, if you want you can come with us.'' Sheila replied.
''Thanks, but i think I'll have to pass, I'm kind of feeling tired...'' Vinny said
''Okay, byeeee.''
"See ya around.''
And with that Vinny left to his room.
''What now? I'll try to sleep now, i guess...''
Kind of impossible with all the noise at the bar, so instead of trying to sleep he thought of what to do tomorrow, making him fall asleep.
Inside his dreams, he was been haunted again... by a girl...
xXx
? - ? ~ In a dream

''Gurghl... What? Where am i? Wasn't i at an inn?''
''Wait, I remember this...'' Vinny looked down.
''Yep... There's my dad's corpse...''
''Then this must also mean... Suki...''
Vinny turned around and...
xXx
