Notes: Here I am again, back with the beginning of the ACTUAL story (not back
story). Hope you're enjoying it.
Characters Up To This Part... :
+Sylphiel Veranda - Human - Female - Cleric
Due to some circumstances in her past, she is a kind, shy girl who wishes to
become a great Cleric someday. She is rather new in her training.
+Aaudana De'non - Halfling - Female - Druid
One of those in Sylphiel's earlier party. Serious to a fault.
+Chielle Freewing - Half Elf - Female - Paladin
One of those in Sylphiel's earlier party. Outgoing, fun, and openly gay. ^^;
+Cyzaine Peaceblade - Erudite - Male - Paladin
A mysterious fellow, he is a quiet and powerful Holy Knight.
FAQ: Sylphiel Veranda - Yes, the first name Sylphiel and the fact that she is
a Cleric are both from the anime Slayers. ^o^; However, her personality is a
bit different, and so is her surname. I just like the name Sylphiel (actually
I like her very much as a character all together ^^) and I love playing as a
Cleric. So if you wanna go flame me for using her name, go do it. XP Hehe.

Training in the ways of the Cleric came as very enjoyable to me.
Devoting my life to the healing of others was not a sacrifice... each spell I
cast gave me an immense pleasure, just at the thought of helping even a
little bit. I was critizized for being in a "boring trade". Most newcomers my
age trained in the popular Wizard, Magician, and Warrior skills... where the
'action' was. My only friends growing up were a Halfling Druid-trainee named
Aaudana (pronounced "Aud-nah") De'non. She was always quite serious in her
training, and despite the short jokes she often recieved, she was very
welcome in our group. ^_^
The other was a feisty half-elf Paladin, Chielle Freewing.
"Blackburrow, Silphy." Chielle motioned, pointing to the cave ahead
of us. We had gotten lost a number of times on our way from Qeynos, my
hometown.
"Are we going to meet a group there? What do you think the ratio of
men to women will be?"
Aaud sighed. "Shouldn't you be more concerned about the ratio of
Clerics to others rather than worrying about guys again?"
I blushed at the mere thought. I had never had a boyfriend before.
"I suppose."
"Exactly," Chielle winked at me. "Don't worry about guys."
"Just because YOU like GIRLS..."
"Hey! What's wrong with THAT?!"
I giggled. Chielle and Aaudana frequently argued, because of Aaud's
serious and work-focused disposition and Chielle's contrasting carefree
attitude. I, being the peacemaker, usually get caught in the middle.
"I am returning to Rivervale now, and Chielle is travelling back to
Freeport. Good luck on your journey."
"You too!" I smiled, waving goodbye to my part time companions. "Miss
Chielle and Miss Aaudana."
"You're too formal, Silph," Chielle winked again. I blushed. Chielle
seemed to be almost hitting on me lately. o_O;

I stood at the entrance to Blackburrow for a good half hour, healing
those who came by for free and hoping to find an accepting group willing to
let her travel with them. I had just gotten my Light Healing upgrade, so I
could heal up to 35 hit points. A kind Druid had cast Spirit of the Wolf on
me, which sped up my running rate considerably, but I was still groupless.
"Where is Sylphiel Veranda, Level 5 Cleric?"
"I am she."
"You have a message waiting for you back in Qeynos."
Brushing my shoulder length, straight black hair aside, I sighed
thinking of the long walk back to the city.
"And by the way, this is Surefall Gate, not Blackburrow."
Oops. Leave it to Chielle... ^_^;
Giggling and blushing, I turned to the man and bowed, and cast a
Light Healing and Holy Armor spell on him for good measure. "I'll be going
back now. Good day, Sir..."
As I turned around, I bumped into something. Or... someONE.
"Oww.." I let out, as I had banged my head on his heavy armor. This
man was a Paladin, and Erudite Paladin...
..could it be him?
"Level 5 Cleric, hm? What is a newbie like you doing in a place like
Surefall Glade?"
Newbie. I've always hated that term.
"I got lost... pardon me, Sir...-"
"...Cyzaine."
"Please forgive me, Sir Cyzaine," I bowed my head in honor. The
Paladin was Level 32!
"And you, Miss Veranda. I've heard of your exploits in this city...
or lack thereof."
No, this couldn't be the brave, noble gentleman that had saved me
before. And yet, he looked so much like him...
"Pardon my asking but... how old be you, Sir?"
"I do not devulge my personal information to those who do not need
it. In this circumstance it 'tis irrelevant. But if you must know, older than
you."
"I gathered, Sir."
"You look to be a very promising healer," the Erudite said, handing
me sewen armor with 10 platinum. "That should serve you well."
He started to walk into the cavern, before I meekly said, "Wait one
moment. I am in need of a group, as my regular companions are on quests of
their own right now. Would you mind terribly, my Lord, if I remained with you
and your party for a while?"
Looking back at me, he grinned. "If you don't mind hanging out with
a very interesting bunch of people."
"Not at all," I smiled.
