"Hullo? Yo sleepy head!" I looked up at a blurry image. "Hi! Ready?" Fall
asked.
"Huh? Yeah. Sure," I yawned. I got up and looked around. I was in the world, just waking up from falling asleep at the computer after the best night of my life.
"We're meeting Mr. Balmung at this odd area," she said with a puzzled look on her face, as though she was reading something she didn't quite understand. "Why would we go here?"
"What's it called?" I asked.
"Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. From what I've heard it's not the best place to go. Strange and scary things happen there. It's as though CC didn't get all the bugs out of it or something," she said.
"How did you find all of this stuff out?"
"Massage Boards!" she said, thrusting a fist in the air heroically.
"Message Boards," I replied, putting my hands on her shoulders.
"Message, massage, who cares! Let's go!" she said, pulling me towards the gate. "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground!" she yelled.
We were pulled off out feet and quickly found ourselves in a strange place. The music was non-existent. The graphics were beautiful though. No portals that held monsters, no symbols, only a huge cathedral. There was a small path that led out from it, ending where we were. But it was surrounded by a huge lake, almost an ocean, glistening and sparkling in the three small suns that were overhead.
"Let's go in," she said, pulling on my sleeve. We walked slowly and started to hear music being played. It was chilling but friendly, like something was waiting within for us. Like a young girl singing, so eerie but I felt I could trust it.
As we opened the door it creaked, and a little dust flew out at us. It opened all the way and showed a glorious room with many pews, chandeliers, and a statue of a girl bound in chains.
"Poor, poor girl," Fall said, walking up to the statue. "She looks so young and so lonely. I wonder who she is."
"I just want to know where that sleazy Balmung is," I sneered, crossing my arms.
"Her name is Aura," a woman's voice echoed throughout the chapel.
"Huh? Who said that?" Fall answered, looking around.
"My name is Morganna, and that is my daughter, Aura," the voice said.
"Where are you, Morganna? I can't see you," she replied.
"I can't be seen, but I am everywhere in The World," Morganna said.
"Wow. That's pretty cool. Mr. Balmung was supposed to meet us here. Do you know where he is?" she asked.
"He's not here, Fall. But you can stay with me. I have a place to show you," she urged.
"Well, I'd love to go, but I can't really trust something I can't see. And if Mr. Balmung isn't here, then I have other things I have to do. But thank you for the offer! Bye!" she said, and we headed for the door.
As we were about to leave, the doors shut and wouldn't budge when we tried to open them.
"We'd like to leave, please!" Fall said, a note of panic in her voice.
"I can't let such a precious treasure just slip through my fingers. You've been given a tremendous power, and I don't think it needs to be wasted on idle game play," Morganna replied, her voice no longer calm but malicious.
"Maybe we can gate out," I whispered. She nodded and we both tried. The golden circles surrounded us, and we just found ourselves in the same place.
"You fools. I have more power than you've ever imagined. You will not escape," she yelled, her voice straining.
"I really want to leave!" Fall yelled, tears streaming from her eyes. I held her close, and she clung to me, not about to let go.
"I'm in this with you. No matter what happens, I will go through it too!" I whispered.
"Rex," she whispered, putting her head into my chest and crying.
"Poor, pathetic, little child. You've got nowhere to run, and nobody to save you," Morganna rasped.
"Shut up!" I yelled.
"You really think you can protect her?" she asked.
Yvonne's words raced through my head. 'You have to protect her.' This was my moment. But how can you fight something you can't see?
A scream pierced the horrific silence. Fall was being pulled into the air by golden ropes that were constricting her, sucking the energy from her as she struggled to get free.
"Fall!" I yelled. She dropped from the ropes into my arms. I fell to the ground as I heard Morganna scream in sheer pain, and a woman in all white was standing in front of me.
"Helba. You have not won. I will get her powers, and I will awaken the Black Aura!" Morganna yelled and her presence left, leaving only the woman in white.
"Are you-" I started.
"Yes. I am Helba. And don't worry. As long as you do not come in this area again, Morganna cannot harm you. She cannot operate anywhere else until she finds out how, and that should take a good long time," she said, lowering her staff.
"Thank you for helping us," I said. I looked down at Fall. She looked like a fallen angel. Her face was losing its color, her clothes were tattered and old, and her wings were missing feathers. "Can you help her?" I asked, but she was gone.
I gated out as soon as I could. I walked through the Mac Anu server carrying my fallen angel as people stared. I bet they were just jealous seeing me carrying a beautiful girl along the streets down to the docks. I laid her down in the middle of the boat and untied it, and we went down the stream. The sun started to bring color and life back to her. Her clothes started to mend themselves, her wings became bright and vibrant like I remembered them best, and her halo shone above all. Her eyes opened and glittered as they set upon me.
"We're safe," I said, leaning over her. She smiled and tears leaked from her eyes. She sat up and laid my head upon her breast.
"You are what kept me going," she said, stroking my hair.
"I didn't save you. It was Helba, that woman in white," I told her.
"Shh. But you were there to catch me when I fell," she said, wrapping her arms around me, pulling me in tighter.
"We can't go in there anymore, she'll get us," I said, closing my eyes, letting my head fall back further into her breasts. But that little ribbon constricted just how far back it could go.
"I'd never go back, even if they'd pay me," she said.
I was in pure bliss as we floated along. The girl of my dreams, a perfect world, and two jiggly friends to both sides of my head. I felt her hand reach behind my head and my head went right between both of them. She dangled the ribbon in front of my face and I blushed so much that I bet she could've felt it. She let her hair down and it covered her breasts so nobody else could see them, but I knew they were there. We were about to pass under Mac Anu's main bridge. She didn't mind the people looking at this site. It was actually pretty funny to see the reactions. Most girls were in shock, the guys were in awe. After we passed out of their site, we both started to laugh.
"Did you hear what that guy said to his girlfriend?" she choked out.
"Yeah!'Why won't you let me do that?' That was priceless!" I chuckled. I felt her breasts jiggle and move as she laughed. I was in ecstasy.
"I can feel you blushing," she said, looking down on me. I, once again, blushed. "You're so predictable!"
"I've just never had a girl even let me near her chest. I'm just not that used to it," I explained.
"Oh. You poor neglected child! Well, since you're so deprived, I guess I don't mind you seeing my real ones sometime," she said. But the cute look on her face turned to one of embarrassment and concern.
"Fall?"
"I'm not showing anything, Ginji! And so what if I was, it's not like you can do too much about it," she said, talking to apparently nothing.
Her brother must've come in on her. It must've been embarrassing, and probably pretty scary.
"You wanna see them? Well, take a good look, pervert!" she yelled. "Finally, he's gone," Her hands looked like they were buttoning a shirt back up. "He won't leave me alone! He asked what I was showing, and then he said he didn't like me showing them to strangers. So I showed them to him."
"Well, that must've scared him off," I said.
"He's my brother by adoption, so it doesn't stop him from being perverted around me," she said. "Can I stay over at your place tonight? I need to talk about some things. I really don't need a lecture by my brother, either."
"How can I say no to such a pretty face?" I said. "My house in on Sake. First on the corner, can't miss it."
"Thank you so much," she said. "Do you want to go level up?" she asked.
"Definitely!" I replied. She tied her top with the little white ribbon and stood up, jumping onto the street and running towards the gate. I followed in her path.

Morganna, Black, and Aura were on her wings and forehead. It was really strange. Who are Morganna and Aura?
Author: Morganna Message: I am Morganna. I'd like for one of you to help me keep a close eye on that 'winged girl' named Fall. I will take whoever will come. Go to Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.

"Hello?" a small girl said, peeking into the giant chapel. "I'm here to help."
"Hello, Maha. You're services are needed, and you are the perfect person for the job. Are you willing to sacrifice for it?" Morganna replied.
"Yes, I am," Maha replied.
"Very well. I hope you've weighed the values," Morganna said, and with an evil eruption of laughter the little girl was surrounded with silver ropes. No part of her could be seen, only her screams of pain could be heard from within. But nobody could help.
"My soul should be left inside," a smooth voice said, as a body fell to the ground, dead.
"Maha, my pet, you will be my servant until you are needed no more," Morganna said proudly.
The girl was no longer a girl, but a cat creature. She looked at herself, and tried to speak out in protest, but no words came out.
"I'd like you to find Fall. She's logged out now, but when she returns, I'd like you to lead her to a specific area. I'll take you there now, and you can meet Aura," Morganna said.
And so it was, the birth of Maha, the slave of Morganna.
"Huh? Yeah. Sure," I yawned. I got up and looked around. I was in the world, just waking up from falling asleep at the computer after the best night of my life.
"We're meeting Mr. Balmung at this odd area," she said with a puzzled look on her face, as though she was reading something she didn't quite understand. "Why would we go here?"
