Days went by, and I started to get to know the people in my guild. As much as I tried to stay away and try not to socialize, people would approach me for help to do their quests and tutoring on their homework or subject they failed to understand.
The first thing I did when I was in the guild was to clear up the misunderstanding with Hanna Chan, the girl I almost killed. As I tried to apologize, she said, "For what?"
"Well, the first time when we were PvPingā¦" I said as I trailed off, there wasn't really an easy way to say that: Hey! I'm sorry I almost killed you but no hard feelings, eh?
"Yeah I thought you were super cool! It gave me the chills at first but I thought you'd be a reliable fighter if I did ever do party or team work with you," she said as she smiled at me.
I looked at her in surprise and asked, "So, you're NOT mad at me?"
"Nope! Like I said, it was totally awesome," she said as she was finishing her homework.
I smiled and felt relieved, my conscience feeling cleared.
"Hey Crazy, come over here for a second," my happiness immediately dropped as I heard the sound of Orzel Chopin's voice, the guy who called me Crazy.
I gave him a false smile as I purposely tripped and stepped on his foot.
"Ow! I swear you do that on purpose or something," he said as he lifted his foot and rubbed the sore spot.
"Me? How could I possibly fake tripping? I'm just clumsy," I said as I feigned innocence. Star looked at me and she gave me the thumbs up, and I gave it back to her. Star and I had this ongoing little game where we bothered Orzel as much as possible seeing how he got on both of our nerves. As soon as Star found out I was part of the guild a couple of days beforehand, she bounded before me and introduced me with a violent pat on the back. I still have that bruise from that time, and every time I see it, I laugh a little to myself before I change. When Koyu saw me on her guild list, she got excited and gave me a bag of homemade dumplings. As for Kaila, well, she just tries to flirt with me as much as possible in her free time.
When I was finished talking to Orzel, I looked around the room, and it truly was a beautifully designed room, everything was very modern and stylish. On the right side of the room, there was a table with 8 chairs, magically floating peacefully. The table was etched with the guild design, the mahogany wood beautifully lacquered. On the table, there were flowers blooming in a centerpiece, their little white petals dancing in the wind. There were also red roses and blue peonies, their little petals gently peeping out of their buds. Right above the table was a tapestry with the guild emblem on it, and the shooting star actually had sparkles magically coming out of it. The walls were pure white, making the room look calm and peaceful. There was also a picture of a pure white unicorn framed on the wall, its majestic eyes staring into the audience that was looking at the painting. Growing lilies were winding around the frame, giving it a more nature-friendly atmosphere. On the left side of the room, there were also brown bear leather lounging couches, about 5 surrounding a coffee table with the same insignia, forming a pentagon around the coffee table. The centerpiece was a bouquet of holographic shooting stars, their little sparks forming colorful sparks in the air as they fell. I admired the whole concept of the room, the design created a warm atmosphere that welcomed people in as they entered. In the center of the room, there was big space, so in the times when there was guild meetings, people would pull up chairs and discuss in the middle of the room.
The room was very admirable and beautiful, and it helped instill peace within myself. I looked at everything with the same heart-wrenching nostalgic feeling, and suddenly, fear elevated within me. Suddenly, questions starting pouring into my brain, as if a dam exploded and the river started pouring.
Will I be able to help those in danger this time?
Will they be able to forgive me later for what happens?
"Rose! Let's go to the dining hall" my thoughts became interrupted as I saw Hanna and Star waving at me, indicating their desire to leave and go eat.
"Ok!" I smiled and walked out, leaving my thoughts behind and attempting to start all over again.
I will change fate this time. Nobody will get hurt; I'll make sure of it even if I have to die.
