CHAPTER VI: FIRST SIGHT

After Neon regain his strength by drinking those red potion, he stood up, wanting to continue his postponed journey. He looked everywhere. Finding where he would start. The he heard a rumor, that there is a cave at the north of Payon Village. They said that there are many zombies roaming around, inside that cave. Also, they said that the fierce Munaks and Bonguns are present there. He was curious. Maybe he can find something there.

He proceeds to the Payon Cave. Few people went only inside, searching and scavenging for any rare items. He showed no fear when darkness suddenly wrapped around him. He showed determination. His eyes were glowing, as if he was blood seeking. Suddenly a zombie came in his way. He looked at it fiercely and didn't give mercy. He started to attack them but suddenly more zombies came to him. He couldn't handle five alone. His agility started to decrease, causing the monsters to attack him. He received many wounds but he didn't stopped, he continued to finish all these creepy-looking monsters. One last to put down but he suddenly fainted. He collapsed on the cold floor of the cave.

"Legend of the H-Holy Light?" she murmured as an old woman approached her and suddenly told her a brief story about the holy light. She was in Payon. She doesn't how she came here. All she can remember is, as she was walking at the pathway of Prontera, a warp suddenly appeared at her. Because of thinking the chance that the warp might be to the GH, she went in, but alas, she appeared at the Payon. "Well, lady. I can see sadness beneath the beautiful cerulean eyes you have. I know that you have a kind heart." The old lady said last then she walked away.

After the old woman disappeared, Amethyst slapped her forehead. "This is not Glass Heim!" she sighed. "Now, I am totally lost." She murmured as she looked at the people, selling different items at the middle of the village.

He went at the north of the Payon and was amazed that he was now inside the Archer Village. She became more curious when she saw a cave at the western part of it. "If I were you, don't go inside alone. Although, you have advantages inside since you are acolyte. If you focused on the zombies or any undead and try to heal them, it will hurt them." A merchant commented to her, sitting while selling some items. "Why would I heal the zombies?" she asked, more interested on what the merchant said. "Acolytes and Priests are holy while they are Undead. Undead are no match for divine people." He commented and walked away.

"Well, whatever he said, Maybe I can try it." She murmured as she went inside the cave, her heart is beating fast. It was dark but she can see perfectly because of the torches lit at every side of the cave. It was peaceful. Maybe the merchant is wrong. Maybe there aren't really any zombies or monsters here. But when she went left, she saw a thief, lying on the ground and a zombie lurking beside him.

"Let's try... Focus on the target. Heal!" she said as she pointed her hand to the zombie. The zombie lay on the floor like a flattened stuff toy. "I-I killed it." She said, surprised and was happy to see that acolytes aren't just for supports and just for healing abilities but also, they can kill monsters by themselves without any effort. Then, her eyes suddenly went to the thief who was lying on the ground instantly.

She approached it and hurriedly went outside, carrying the thief at her shoulders. Then she hurriedly checked his pulse but he didn't felt anything. "Then there is only one thing to bring him back." She holds his hand and suddenly a light suddenly appeared around her. "Resurrection!" she shouted. After that, light was disappearing once again. She just smiled.

She was an acolyte but she has some abilities that acolytes cannot do and that is to resurrect. She knew this unbelievable and surprising ability but she and only her brother know about this. She hid this abilities from other people, hoping to be as normal as possible.

The thief slowly opened his eyes but he only saw blurred visions. She just saw a woman, looking at her the he closed his eyes again. She laid her soft hands top his cheeks. "You are..." she was about to say something when she suddenly felt that someone was approaching. She stood up and hurriedly hid herself, leaving the thief on the ground. A group of merchants suddenly went by and saw the thief. They hurriedly carried him and rushed him to he nearest inn. Helping him to have some rest and good food.

Amethyst just smiled. She was glad that the man was now ok. She slowly walked away from the Archer Village and proceed back to the Payon Village, hoping to find a good inn or hotel.
