Chapter VI- The Chosen eight; The reunion I
"Thank God! Civilization at last!" The girl, Raen, could hardly contain her joy of finally arriving at their destination.
Morroc city wasn't so big, but it was a sight for sore eyes. Being situated in the middle of a vast dessert wasn't exactly ideal for any city or town. Morroc's roads were covered in sand and less people lived there. Archeologists came here to be a part of the numerous digs at the ancient pyramids and ruins surrounding the small city.
"I'm hungry! Let's get something to eat first before we go looking for Mother Mathilda." Help me stated as soon as the trio stepped through the city's side gate. The mage-to-be assigned each member of the group to scan a part of the city for things to buy. They would then meet at the Kafra and head out for the ruins in the upper dessert via the North gate of the city.
---Raen's POV—
/ I'm gonna be an Acolyte to serve others lalalala.../
"Hmmm... food huh? Where do I get food in Morroc city?"
The player retrieved a jingling pouch overflowing with zenny from her bag.
"Killing off those monsters gave me more zenny than I've ever had in the other servers...I'M RICH!"
She just couldn't believe she had more than five hundred thousand zennies right in the palm of her hand. She could barely even earn a thousand of the darned coins in the IRIS server.
"Hey! A pet merchant! I can finally buy myself a pet incubator!"
It was apparent the acolyte-to-be was enjoying this little shopping spree...
---Easygurl's POV---
Most of the NPC's passing by was staring at a certain brown haired novice who seemed to be extremely dehydrated.
"Water.... Jui-juice a-anything to drink...ugggghhh..."
Easy gurl desperately needed a thirst quencher. He never felt so dry in his entire life, but who could blame him after what he has been through?
He did have to walk all the way to Morroc city from Prontera after all. How was he supposed to know being a female character would be so tiring?
/STUPID FEMALE CHARACTER!/
---Helpme's POV---
/I hope those two will be fine on their own. /
Helpme wasn't thinking this for his friends' sake but rather for the sake of any NPC tha may come across them... Just think about it:
Raen, though energetic and independent, tended to tire out anyone or anything within an eight-mile radius from her due to her never ending playfulness and curiosity.
Easygurl, wasn't bad as a guy but, given the fact that he was seeing the R.O. world through emerald green ayes of a female, could end up causing harm to himself and others around him.
The worst part? The heat of the sun could do things to such young minds. (e.g. mirages)
"I sure hope those two come safe and sound..."
Help me was fast. He found all the things he needed to buy and bought them within five minutes flat. He now sat by the North Entrance of the city beside the Kafra who seemed to be staring at him a lot.
/Talk about freaky, that kafra has been staring straight at me since I sat here... maybe she likes me?/
Helpme just continued munching on the snacks he bought pretending he didn't notice the way the Kafra was staring at him.
/Raen, easy gurl where are you two?!!!/
---Meanwhile somewhere in GH---
The unearthly cries of the undead rose from the cold stone walls of the haunted castle. Nothing could be seen except the dancing shadows on the walls due to the heavy fog that surrounded the entire area.
Azuriel was a master at leveling up in the game, Ragnarok. It wasn't exactly a challenge for him to raise his level now specially since he could directly control his character's movements.
Fighting off a huge mob of zombies stood a lone figure in a long acolyte robe. He wore a grin on his face that was enough to disprove the belief that all acolytes are shy and quiet people.
Azuriel had crimson red hair that defied gravity in spikes above his head.
/Where in Midgard did those guys go. I'm getting tired of picking on these sorry excuses for enemies.../
"How long has it been?" Azuriel shouted at nobody in particular.
"How many of these walking corpses do I have to exorcise before I get a blue gem?!!!" The mighty player almost fell asleep out of boredom.
/I wonder how the others are doing? I sure wish I could get a blue gem now so I could warp outta here.../
---Back in Morroc city---
Raen, carrying a lot of food now, decided to return to meet up with Easy gurl and Help men who ere probably already waiting for her at the North gate.
Then a weird ringing sound was heard...
"Cool! A PM from Help me." Raen fiddled around a bit till she discovered how to read a message...
It said:
Raen,Easy gurl ,
Consider this an S.O.S. form me! That frwaky kafra has been staring at me since... since... I don't know... forever! WHERE IN THE NAME OF IRIS ARE YOU GUYS?!!! Please come here now, I don't like the way that Kafra is looking at me. HELP ME! (A/N Pun not intended )
Help me---Raen's POV---
"Don't worry buddy, I'm on my way there! "
Having said these words, Raen headed straight for the North gate.
----Easy gurl's POV---
"Hehehehehe that Help me..." Easy gurl, who was sitting in a public city fountain, giggled amusedly at his friends predicament.
The female novice jumped into the fountain to cool off... it worked (what else can I say? )
Easy gurl had earlier bought a lot of food and gobbled it all up in record time.
"Well I guess I better get going..." The novice rose from his (or her) spot and, dripping wet, began to walk towards the North gate.
---30 minutes and a couple more sidetracks later---
"Raen thank God you're here! You have no idea how scared I was." The now sniffling Help me managed to blurt out right before he glomped the girl.
"Woah!" 0o
Raen began patting the back of her pal to comfort him as he clung on to her as if there was never gonna be a tomorrow, much to the dislike of the Kafra who, Raen noticed, began turning red and trembling.
/Man that Kafra DOES have that evil glare.../
"Oh come on Help me don't you think your overreacting?"
/The things a Kafra girl's stare could do.../
Somewhere in between their (Raen: AHEM! crosses arms over her chest in the background) disturbing show of affection, Easy gurl, still soaking wet, came trudging up with a lot more snacks than he had eaten before.
"Listen Help me if your done whining and being a baby can we go now?" Easy gurl wanted to get things done as soon as possible.
Having heard his cue, Help me stood up, rubbed his face a few more times and began walking out toward the desert followed by Raen and Easy gurl... (ooooh ... mood swing! )
