Chapter 3: Joining, But Not Belonging....
"When we were in our 30's your grandfather and I would run out to the frontier and try our
best to help with the cause. Albions and Midguardians would try to penetrate our forces in
hopes of taking a keep or more importantly taking one of our beloved relics.
"As we grouped and met people, we decided we would join forces with others and join a
guild. There were many, many guilds in Hibernia at the time, and we did not know how to
choose. We tried a few different guilds before deciding on sticking with Ciorcal Lochtach. It was a fine guild, with a great reputation and also one that had other couples in it, rather than some guilds that had mostly young men. We stayed with Ciorcal for a while and had fun grouping with people and gaining experience. Scavy, Nige, Malduc, Nebuchadnezzar, these were some
of our most enjoyable guildmates. But something was missing..."
"Lylg and I would be on late into the night, when Hibernia sleeps. Our new guild mostly was on during
the day. We found ourselves being sort of like a fifth wheel, so to speak. Many a time things would
decided, groups created, without us being a part of. " Jade paused in reflection of the sad memory.
"As we continued on, with CL, Lylg and I began to make friends outside of the guild. One friend in
particular was my friend, Jipian. Long after Gramps had disappeared from Hibernia, Jipian rose to the
rank of most deadliest Nightshade. To me, he was a cute little Lurikeen who was very nice. To Albs and
Mids, well, lets just say they hoped they did not cross Jip's path. I found myself looking out for the little guy. Healing him, rezzing him, when no one else would. At least, it didn't seem like it to me. I had plenty of buffs to give, so I would buff him to. He seemed to always play solo, so I thought he probably could use a friend. Especially when an enemy was about." Jade chuckled.
"What Grandma? What is so funny?" Phoebe asked.
"Why, I was just thinking how silly that sounds, here the most deadliest stalker in Hibernia, was actually one of the sweetest people! Its hard to imagine, but it was true!" Jade answered fondly.
"Jip would ask me how things were in CL, and I would be honest with him. How they were all nice people,good players, but we just felt out of the loop. He told me about his guild, Horizon, and how it was very small with very nice, mature players in it. He asked me if I would join a guild group sometime and meet all of these people. I agreed."
