The Tale Of Two Cities
(The Everquest Version)
The wind was wild that day. The leaves of Kelethin's grand trees rustled in the breeze, sounding like rattlesnakes. The young druid, Kaialis, sat on a hill, staring at the canopy, wishing he could see the clouds. He leaded to his feet as he heard the clopping of a horse and walked towards his friend and employer, Ulthangar. Ulthangar, a ranger of good standing, ran a respectable business. He and his employees would scour the continents for rare items. This obvious was a wealthy business, so Kai was quite well off in his young age.
"How goes it, Kai? You ready for another day of work?" Ulth inquired of the wood elf.
"Sure! What's my quest now?" Kai responded. Kai loved his job. He wouldn't want any other job in the world. "Am I going to Luclin finally? When can I go to Luclin? Huh?!?"
"Calm down, boy! You're not goin' to Luclin," Ulth said, handing Kai a slip with his instructions on it. "You're goin' to be a bodyguard for a mage. You should thank me. She's a woman, you know."
"Yea, a high elf woman!" Kai scowled after reading the slip. "High elves think they're better than everyone. It's so annoying."
"This is big money, Kai! She needs you to travel with her so she can acquire some items. She's paying extra so she can tag along." Ulth explained. "I think it's a good catch. You know, those cold nights when she needs someone to warm her, you can."
"OKAY! I GET IT! For crying out loud, Ulth, what's with you tryin' to fix me up all the time?" The young man inquired.
"Hey, I'd a killed for a guy like me to have fixed me up with girls when I was a lad," Ulth said.
"Yea, but you wouldn't have met your wife that way," Kai chuckled. Ulth's expression went from happiness to fear.
"Holy crap! I forgot! She's going to kill me! Sorry Kai, can't talk anymore!"
"What'd you do now?"
"She needs me to do some work around the house and.well. there will be dire consequences if I don't do it." With that the ranger sped of to the tree city. Kai shook his head in somber humor. He knew what the consequences would be.
"That man loves his swords a little too much," Kai said, laughing all the while. With a wave of his hand, Kai was filled with an enduring speed and he ran in the direction of the high elf city, Felwithe. The majestic city was the home of some of the greatest clerics and mages who ever lived, but Kai didn't like them much. Like he said, some high elves see other races as savage and inferior. Kai's heart filled with grimace as he thought of his bad past with high elves, but shook them away as he saw the brilliant gate to the city through the trees. "This is going to be a job I'll never forget," the druid muttered.
Hey everyone! This is PjOrT, aka Kaialis Spiritmagi, and I'd like you to know that any comments and criticism you have for me are welcomed as long as it isn't cruel and unruly. Later much, mis amigos.
