The Blonde Druid

Chapter 1: The beginning

A/N: I decided to write a humor EQ story. Some of the situations found in these chapters happened to me in the game. Also, I used the character names of some of my friends in EQ. Sorry this chapter is a little short, but it's only the intro. Thanks for reading and please review!!!

"YES!" a voice screamed with much enthusiasm.

"WOOT!" the sound echoed throughout the tree city.

Many citizens of Kelethin turned their heads to the direction of where the voice was coming from.

The voice belonged to the female wood elf, Gwefaeria. She was tall in stature (like most elves) and she had golden blonde hair like the sun and sky blue eyes as clear as crystal. Today she wore shabby looking brown pants that ended at her knees and a tan halter top with a small tree design in the center.

She was grinning from ear to ear as she emerged from a small wooden building. She had just been accepted into the druid's guild. She was waiting for this moment her entire life (well, the last few weeks actually).

The memory flashed through her mind as she skipped merrily across the creaky wooden bridges.

"I would like to become a druid," said Gwefaeria in a strong voice as she handed the guild master a tattered note.

"Welcome! We are the Soldiers of Tunare, the sworn protectors of Faydark. I thank you for joining our cause, we can always use the help," he said to her after he finished reading the note.

"Return to me when you have become more experienced in our art, I will be able to further instruct you on how to progress through your early ranks, as well in some of the various trades we have available to you," he finished his usual speech.

Gwefaeria smiled and kneeled before Heartwood Master. Then, she did something she did not even expect herself to do; she ran towards him and gave him a huge hug.

At first, the guild master thought she was going to attack him as she ran towards him with opened arms. So he began casting a powerful fire spell and aimed it towards her direction. When he realized she was just embracing him, he changed his target to the window just in time as the spell released from his fingers.

She gave him a quick smile then skipped away out the door.

"Gwefaeria! Hey!"

She stopped her train of thought and looked around to see who was calling her name.

"Hey, Rudadar!" she exclaimed. A young half elf boy with dirty blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes ran up to her.

"Is it true? Are you a druid now?" he asked anxiously.

She gave him a wide grin and said, "Yup! I'm the newest member of the Soldiers of Tunare." She raised her chest in pride.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her into a dance of joy while chanting, "Gwefaeria's a druiddd! Gwefaeria's a druidd!"

After several minutes more minutes of this celebration, they finally stopped their movements and Gwefaeria said, "Well I got to go home now and tell my family the great news."

"Aye…has your brother returned home from his journey?"

"Yes, he came home a few days ago. He was gone for about three years I should say…"

"Wow… Well tell him I said Hi… Maybe you and I could go hunting some time now that you're a druid."

"I'd like that. See you later," she called over her shoulder as she turned around and ran down her path towards home.
