Well, here it is!
Chapter 4 : Surprising act
Evan found a better home at last. He shared the same room with El, and they were quite close. Xan was happy for El and Evan, for they had found a new best friend. Evan and Rhine too were friends, but they hardly talked.
Evan was always quiet, probably hiding his bad past. But once in a while, a smile will appear on his face.
Back to training, Xan was always helping them to be stronger, but this time, Xan thought that the kids might try training themselves and to get some individual experience.
"Hmm..I haven't been getting some training myself...My skills might be getting rusty.." Xan thought.
Xan told them about training in Orc Dungeon, as it's quite a good training ground for young swordsman and acolytes.
"Well, I think you all should train in Orc Dungeon, it's quite a good training ground for professions like you. Be careful though, since they attack in large numbers.." Xan told them.
"Sounds good to me. How about you guys?" El asked the rest.
"Fine with me too." Rhine replied.
Now the rest are looking at Evan, and he just nodded his head. So they quickly packed up their stuff and they headed to the Kafra Receptionist in Prontera. The Kafras there are the only ones providing warps to the Orc Dungeon.
Once they reached the Kafra receptionist, they paid for their warp. Then, they reached their destination.
"Wow....this place looks scary.." Rhine said, shaking in fear.
"Don't worry Rhine; there are a lot of people training here as well. They will be helping you if you get into trouble since you're an acolyte..haha..they are always helping acos..gee.." El uttered.
Rhine just stared at her brother while her brother smiled. Evan was quiet, but he smiled as well.
At the entrance, they bought some healing items from the merchants. Then Rhine remembered something.
"Here it is Rhine. A Yggdrasil berry. This fruit is very effective for curing ailments. Use this when one of you gets injured badly. Oh, and another thing. Here's a Yggdrasil leaf for resurrecting the dead. Use these items wisely." Xan said, and he passed on the items to her.
Rhine kept the items in her pouch safely.
"C'mon Rhine, let's head into the dungeon now." El woke her from her day- dream.
"Oh...sorry to keep you guys waiting. Ok, let's go now." Rhine replied.
So, the three of them headed in. The dungeon was dark and eerie, but Rhine managed to calm herself down. Then, they heard loud footsteps on the ground. They saw a shadow of a monster, and it's coming to hunt them down.
The Orc Zombie, as it turned out to be, used its blunt axe to attack Evan, who was standing in front. Evan deflected the attack, and managed to attack the undead. El did the same too, while Rhine casted some spells and used it against the undead. After some time, the undead was finally vanquished.
A few other Orc Zombies came and attack them, but with the help of Rhine's spells, it made it easier for El and Evan to attack. All of a sudden, an Orc Skeleton appeared behind Rhine. Rhine couldn't sense its presence, but Evan did.
As the skeleton was about to attack....
"Rhine!!" Evan shouted.
He quickly ran to protect her. The skel's weapon hit him, and he was badly injured. Evan was nearly losing consciousness. Rhine was shocked and surprised at the same time, as she never knew Evan would've done that.
El quickly attacked the skel, while Rhine helped, but she was a little shocked. At last, the skel was vanquished and the zombies as well. El quickly ran to Evan. "No...Evan...no....." El said in a worried manner. He didn't want the same thing to happen to Evan. El got a flashback of his parents' death, and shook his head to drop it all off.
Rhine was still in shock, and then she remembered about the items Xan gave her. She quickly took out the Yggdrasil berry and gave it to Evan. Evan could bite it, but just barely. After a few bites, Evan managed to regain his energy.
"Are you feeling better, Evan?" Rhine asked in a soft tone.
Evan looked at Rhine. For a moment, their eyes met. They both blushed and looked the other way.
"Err...yea...I'm feeling much better..."
El was watching the both of them and thought. "Hmm....."
"Are you able to continue the training, Evan? If not, you can........" El couldn't finish his sentence when Evan interrupted.
"No, I'll continue." Evan said without hesitation.
"Well, if that's what you want, let's continue." El replied.
So the trio walked further into the dungeon and they reached a wooden fence in the middle. It seems that many people hang out there. Those acolytes who needed rest to regain their energy sat against the fence while the swordsman, thieves, archers, mages and merchants continue with their battle.
"There, Rhine. You might want to have a short rest before you can continue the training later. Evan and I will be hitting some monsters around here." El told her.
So Rhine sat down, and she thought about what Evan did earlier. Puzzling, she thought.
Then...
"Hi, my name is Kazu. How bout yours?" An acolyte who was sitting next to Rhine asked.
"Er..my name is Rhine." Rhine said.
"Oh..hehe, nice to meet you."
"Same here."
Kazu and Rhine then became friends. Rhine was happy that she finally found a new friend. Kazu was a year older, which means she was the same age as Rhine's brother, El.
After a while, El and Evan returned.
To be continued....
