Cookie One: The Two Wavemasters'

Janx approached the Wavemaster who sat on the edge of the cliff. He looked like any normal player that would inhabit "The World". Unbeknownst to Janx though was that this Wavemaster was different. This was the one told of in rumors across the boards, but Janx isn't one to read the message boards.

Janx came up to the boy with gray hair quickly as that player looked to Janx. "Hey. Would you want to join my party and go into a dungeon?" Janx asked to the bewildered Wavemaster. "There aren't many up at this time, and I thought maybe we could go get some treasure or rare items." Janx continued. "Oh, where are my manners." Janx hit his head and brought down his hand. "My player name is Janx."

The other looked at Janx in confusion before turning away from Janx. "Sorry. I don't feel up to it." The Wavemaster replied. "Oh, I understand." Janx said beginning to walk away. "Uh, I'm Tsukasa." The Wavemaster said as Janx stopped to face the other. "Maybe another time Janx." Tsukasa said with a slight laugh. "Here's my member address." Tsukasa said as Janx nodded in acceptance.

"Okay. Thanks Tsukasa." Janx said with a smile and leaving that town. Janx left for Lambda server just then in search of other comrades. Tsukasa continues staring out into the air holding onto his wand. A female Wavemaster soon interrupted his peace. The girl had silver hair that was covered by a dark green hat, and there were two ponytails to the back of her hair. Her outfit was like any other Wavemaster robes and all.

The girl approached in the same manner as Janx did, but clutching her wand. "Uh, hi there. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one online." The girl said with a nervous laugh. "I'm Silver HeArT by the way." The female Wavemaster said standing beside Tsukasa. "If you're looking for someone to go into dungeons with I just saw a Twin Blade looking for the same thing." Tsukasa said never turning to the girl. "I have his member address. Would you like it?" Tsukasa said as Silver HeArT looked at him confused and sat beside him.

"Isn't that illegal?" Silver HeArT asked. "Nothing seems to be for me. Do you want it? Or would you rather find him before he logs off?" Tsukasa asked turning to the girl with his sappy, sullen face. "I, I guess so." Silver HeArT hesitantly replied.

"There you are." Tsukasa said standing up. "So long." Tsukasa said teleporting to another place. "Hey, wait, you never said your name." Silver HeArT said after Tsukasa was gone. "I guess I can contact this 'Janx' character." Silver HeArT said running for the Chaos Gate.

Meanwhile, over in the cultural city Janx walks the vacant streets when he gets a call. "Huh. Who's 'Silver HeArT'?" Janx said in question. "I guess I better go find out." Janx ran to the Chaos Gate and left for the Theta server in haste.

Arriving in the Highland town Janx meets with the Wavemaster near the Chaos Gate. "Uh, are you the one who called me?" Janx asked. "If you're Janx I did." Silver HeArT returned nervously. "How did you get my member address?" Janx questioned. "This Wavemaster gave it to me." Silver HeArT replied. "Tsukasa did?" Janx questioned to himself. "Heh. Why should I play with you?" Janx said turning away from the girl.

"Hey!" Silver HeArT shouted. "You and I both are without a party and I think it'd be best if we teamed together okay?" Silver HeArT asked in anger. "Okay. Only if you give me your member address as well." Janx replied coldly. Silver HeArT looked at him pissed before cooling off.

"Fine." The Wavemaster replied. "Okay so let's go then." Janx said turning to the Chaos Gate. "Where to?" Janx said turning around embarrassed. "Let's try Pulsating Her Remnant Janx." Silver HeArT said putting words together. "That may have something. Plus it's only level twenty-six, and won't be too hard for us." Silver HeArT said as the two left the town and arrived on the field.

"Do you have a grunty?" Silver HeArT asked to Janx who was looking at his surroundings. "Huh. Yeah I grew a iron grunty in Dun Loireag I think." Janx said not paying any attention to his new friend. Using his grunty flute his iron grunty arrives on the scene and the two arrive at the dungeon in no time. The two enter the dungeon and arrive in the first or second room to face a spellcaster and a bug-like monster. Janx quickly takes on the bug using his blade as Silver HeArT ran as far back as she could. Janx was beat up by a thunder tornado spell.

"Hey! Heal me at least girl!" Janx demanded as his HP went low, and finally defeating the bug using his Staccato. "R-right." Silver HeArT said nervously. "La Repth!" She casts the healing spell, but used it on herself by accident as Janx grumbled. He chased down the hovering wizard and slashed him down. As the battle ended Janx came over to the girl in anger.

"What was that?" Janx yelled in frustration. The girl sheepishly turned away in shame. "I'm sorry Janx. I'm very incompetent I know." Silver HeArT replied hanging her head low. "I'm sorry to sound so harsh Silver HeArT" Janx replied feeling guilty. "How did you get to level thirty if you can't even use a simple spell right?" Janx wondered aloud. "Well, I usually forget how to do all the commands each time I log on. So don't worry. After a few tries I'll remember how to fight." Silver HeArT replied in a somber tone. Janx begins to laugh which causes the girl to turn to him and whack him with her wand. She stands with a look of anger over her face as Janx shakes off the hit.

Silver HeArT stops and looks ashamed about what she did. "I'm sorry, but you were just so rude." Silver HeArT replied. "Eh, can we just continue?" Janx said after using a Healing Potion. "I mean there are about three basements to this place and I do plan to go to sleep eventually." Janx said walking to the other end of the room as Silver HeArT followed.

Thank you much for your reviews of cookie 0. I mean it lacked story, all I did was tell you stuff you probably knew. So thanks to Headless Dragon and Serene Faerie anyway. I hope to see more reviews and more reviewers.

As for that dungeon they went to, I'm not too sure of it being real. I'll have to try it later.
