Ragnarok online: I don't own it, let's get it straight. I just play it that's all
Characters: Yup. I own them. I used some of my friend's characters, and some are completely made-up. I just tweaked their jobs a bit;; they're only 2nd jobs as we don't have 3rd jobs in pRO yet.
Anyway, just enjoy my very first fanfic
It was night. Silent Storm and his best friend, Decipher met at Prontera at the usual 11pm. They met at there usual spot beneath the castle of Prontera. They shared their misadventures as usual, and traded items. This would be the perfect time as the town was asleep, not even a thief was awake to just appear out of nowhere and snatch their goods. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. Very unusual. They seemed to be getting louder. They walked briskly as to avoid anyone hearing their steps. They went over ground and saw a whole bunch of assassins, who seemed to be raiding the town.
"Decipher! Look!" Silent Storm whispered to his friend.
"Whoa! Those are a lot of assassins! How are we suppose to get outta here??"
"I have no idea."
Silent looked around for a way to escape. Then he saw it. A ladder on the walls of Prontera.
"There! We just have to climb that ladder and get back to Izlude! You can go back to Geffen tomorrow." They quickly ran toward the ladder when an assassin blocked their way.
"Where do you think you're going? And what's a novice doing out at a time like this huh?" the assassin menacingly said
""a" novice?? Decipher! I don't think he sees you! Run! I'll be okay!" Silent whispered.
"But Silent, what about you? They'll do something horrible to you!"
"It's okay! I don't care! One of us is better than the two of us! You can tell people in authority about this! Go! Hurry! I'll distract him!"
"Alright!"
"Well!? Why aren't you answering me!? I asked what you were doing at this time of the night!" The assassin shouted.
"I…..I……I was taking a stroll through Prontera."
"You liar! You're coming with me!" and he grabbed Silent and carried him away. Decipher could only watch as his friend was being taken away. Powerless to stop it.
-10 years later-
"Quickly! Just make him drink the poison for heaven's sake!" Silent's acquaintance, Seviatrem said hastily.
"I'm working as fast as I can! Be patient!"
and after a few minutes, the poison was ready, and he made Loial, their target, drink it. Instantly, his breathing stopped. He was dead. Their mission was accomplished.
"Hurry! We've gotta get back to the guild before the officials or someone get here!" and they sprinted off, back into the dessert, from whence they came.
They finally arrived at the guild, where Silent's mentor, Faquir, commented him of his great and as he would usually say, "artistic" way of assassinating people.
"Great work! I just love how you work so diligently, killing the person without a trace!"
"Thanks!"
Suddenly an assassin barged through the door, panting. He was the watchman of the guild.
"Master Faquir! The knights have arrived! It seems their leader, Loial, has been killed. They suspect WE did it! I mean it's not like we did it right?"
"Well…………"Silent Storm said.
"Y-You did it!?" the watchman said, shocked.
"I was given a task to assassinate him! And you know me, I NEVER turn down a request! Besides! What are a few knights! We are assassins! We have a few tricks up our sleeve!"
"Y-Yes, whatever!"
"Ok listen up people! We do our usual! Attack from behind! Wait for them to go in the temple, and when they don't see anyone, we kill them! Every single one! If the pronterans find out about our strategy, we, or rather I, have to think of another strategy and you know I don't like to think very hard! I'm a, how should I say, a "happy-go-lucky" person! Ok, cloak! cloak! cloak!" and they did.
The assassin temple was like a ghost town. The knight arrived, glaring at the temple with rage.
"Those bastards! They'll pay for the death of Sir Loial!" one of them shouted.
And then they entered the temple, not knowing the death that these walls reek, this was a place where many, countless people have died. This was like the Bermuda triangle to the Pronterans, they never know what happen to the knights, priests and crusaders they send there. They slowly opened the door. It was dark. Pitch black. And nothing in sight.
"Hm? There's nothing here!" one of them said
"No, we musn't give up! They're probably deeper inside!" another one replied.
They ventured deep into the dark temple, not sure how they would ever get out, but thinking that at least they would avenge their "Sir Loial", or at least they though they would. Suddenly, a knife came out of nowhere and stabbed one of them, then the assassins revealed themselves, killing one knight as they did.
"So? You thought you could kill us assassins huh? Think again!" and he brutally stabbed one of them in the eye.
"You thirsty? Here! Have a drink! I'd rather poison you than kill you with my infiltrator. I hate getting blood stains on my clothes!" Silent Storm boastfully said to one of the knights and forcefully made him drink his deadly poison.
After all the knights were killed, they all cheered. Now came the irritating part. Dragging their victim's bodies outside, where the sand was, to let the condors feed on.
"Well, THAT was totally unexpected. Anyway, you guys spend this whole week relaxing! I won't accept any requests for now. I suggest going to Kokomo beach, just don't run into any rogues." Faquir said after they had done their disgusting task.
"I'm going. Sevi? (That was Seviatrem's nick, as Silent is Silent Storm's) ya commin'?" Silent exclaimed
"Sure! I'll just go get my swimsuit! Stay here, I'll get yours too!"
Sevi strode off into the halls of the temple, and after around 10 minutes or so, he returned with their stuff.
"Wait, do we have everything?" Silent asked
"Swimsuits?"
"Check!"
"Katars?"
"Check!"
"My infiltrator?"
"Check!"
"Bottles for us to make poison?"
"Check!"
"Sakkats?"
"Check!"
"Extra Clothes?"
"Check!"
"Then we're all set!"
Sevi and Silent waved goodbye to the whole guild, it was high noon, so they both wore their sakkats to protect them from the heat of the sun. They crossed the Sograt Dessert, a place of extreme heat, but, as assassins, they should be used to that by now. Before nightfall, they arrived at their spot: Kokomo beach. At night it was freezing here, but in the morning and noon, it was the perfect temp! They looked for a good hut, (some anonymous people seem to have put huts here for people to spend the night in) and set up their stuff. After which, they went down to the beach, made a cozy fire, got some food, and barbecued them.
"Haa……..I haven't been here in a while! I miss the cool sea breeze! All we feel in the temple is heat!" Silent said, while his mouth was full of his fish.
He ate one whole fish in one bite!
"Yeahhh……..(even though I didn't understand a word you said! Haha!)" Sevi whispered to himself.
They ate a lot of delicious food that night. Fish, crab, and shark's fin. (I have no idea how they managed to cook the shark's fin and crab with a bonfire, but anyway, they did!)
"burpWhoa! That was a lot of food! I'm stuffed!" Sevi said after finishing most of the food.
"Yeah! Hey, Sevi! What's that over their?"
"Hm?"
"It's….it's……a raggler, and a…….a……….mobster?"
"Yup, it seems like a mobster. I hate them! Stupid monsters spitting everywhere!"
"Seviatrem, would it be okay if I took care of them for today? I've gotta find a way to digest all the food we ate! Sa! Hajimeo!(right, let's get started)"
He ran towards the two monsters and right before his infiltrator hit the mobster, he disappeared into nowhere. The monsters were confused. Then, Silent reappeared behind the mobster and hit him with the infiltrator. Not yet dead. Again, he hit it. Still not dead. He then hit it a lot of times, with his katar glowing a bloody red. From the bonfire area, Seviatrem only watched, sort of like tv.
"Meteor Assault. I see. Silent, you seize to amaze me!"
With a final blow, he hit the mobster in the neck, then moved his katar outward, thus cutting off the monster's head. Now it was time for the raggler. No big deal. He summoned a lot of energy, and then…..
"Soul Breaker!!!" a sort of purplish-bluish ray emitted out of the assassin's katar, hitting the raggler, and thus, killing it. He walked back to the campfire, and sat down, once again.
"Silent, I just have to say, you are one heck of an assassin!"
"Thanks! Well, it's getting late, we should turn in now."
And the two assassins walked to their hut, and slept. That same night, Silent Storm had a dream, or rather a long-lost memory. He saw it all, the assassins raiding Prontera, fire and blood everywhere, and the screams of many, many innocent people. He seemed to be with a friend, he couldn't see his face, every time he looked at him, his face would be covered by his head's shadow. An assassin stopped their path, he muttered something to his friend, the assassin grabbed him, and they strode off, he tried to reach for his friend, but it was no use. The assassin was walking way too quickly. Now something like a flash appeared. Then he saw himself as a thief, under the watchful eyes of the assassin guild, training him, and teaching him, the art of killing people without a trace. Using poison to his advantage, using it against others, and in the event that he drank it, be able to resist the pull of the poison into death. Then, he saw a shadowy figure. It hardly had any clothes on, as if seducing him. He made it out, "it" was a female. Her dancing was spectacular, he had never seen anything like it. He heard voices from behind. A lot of voices. He looked behind, and saw he wasn't alone. Obviously, this woman was performing for all of them. Then she stared directly at him, and he lost track of everything else. There was something so irresistible and so…..so…..beautiful about her dance that he couldn't look at anything else but her. Everything faded. The woman, the people, the scenery. The scenery became a mountain, it was very cold on this particular mountain. He recognized the scenery. It was Mt. Mjolnir. He looked at his hands. They were covered in blood. He hated that. But then he thought, how would he have blood if he hadn't killed anything? He might have stabbed himself. He looked at his whole body, nothing. Not a scratch. He looked around some more. In the bushes, behind the trees, nothing. He saw a lake in the middle. But wait, that wasn't there when he first checked! He went over to it, and saw a body. He couldn't make out the face, it was covered in blood as well. And then he saw the little boy he was with at the raid. The head's shape was the same! This bothered Silent a lot. And then, he heard a voice, it was saying "Decipher" over and over again. He ran away, but no matter how far he seemed to run, he always returned to the lake. The voice was bothering him even more. Then the body stood up, it's eyes opened, he opened his palm, and put it on Silent's face. The body said "Why? Why…..did you kill me?" then he felt a surge of energy from the hand, which shocked him. Then he awoke, and shouted "I don't know you!"
"Silent, what's the matter with you??" Seviatrem said, in shock
"What? Oh, nothing, I just had a nightmare."
"What was it about?"
"N-nothing. I'll go make breakfast today. You stay here."
Silent stood up, and went towards the shore. Seviatrem, knew Silent very well. He knew that something was definitely wrong. He hesitated to ask, he didn't want to disturb him more. After several minutes, breakfast was cooked, fish. After eating the fish, Silent forgot about the dream, and wore his swimsuit, as well as Sevi. Silent, had ripped 6-packed abs, and was very muscular indeed. Sevi teased him by saying:
"Woooo! Sexy!"
"Stop it!"
and he took a deep breath and entered the cold waters, which were very refreshing indeed. Seviatrem followed him, and like two little kids, they played in the water, splashing salty water into each other. There was a time when Silent accidentally drank some of the salty water, and he shouted
"Salteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
and ran towards Seviatrem and rammed him to the sea bed, which, of course, was lined with many beautiful seashells, which, hit Seviatrem's bottom.
"Owww!! That hurt!"
"Haha, sorry 'bout that;;( - this is an emoticon fyi)"
he looked at the shells in astonishment, picked one up and sat down to look at it. This was no ordinary shell if you analyze it carefully.
"Hey! Silent! Look! There's a…..uhh……blue orb or something in there!"
"Yeah! You're right! Lemme take it out!!" he tried plucking it out, but he couldn't he gave it to Seviatrem, and as if it was picking up a feather from the ground, he just cracked open the shell, which seemed like he just touched it, and voila! The "orb" or as they could now see, the ring was exposed and in the hands of the Assassin Cross, Seviatrem.
"Whatcha'll doin' with our ring? huh?" a voice from behind shouted.
"Your ring!? We found it!!"
"Idiot! Dontcha know what that is!? That's the rogue's treasure! And I'm a rogue! Now givvit!!!"
"You want it!? Take it from us!"
"With pleasure…."
With a snap of his fingers, 4 other rogues came in.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Knyf, head of the Gangster's Paradise!" with that, he ran towards the two, with the other 4 following him.
"Seviatrem, I'm sorry for boring you yesterday, so today is your turn to kick their ass!"
"No, no, I insist, YOU go!"
"No, you!"
"How arrogant! How about this? I kill you both!" Knyf interrupted.
"I don't think so!" silent said, while dodging his moves.
Sevi hit the other 4, disposing of them easily, while Silent was just dodging the blows given to him, boasting to the so-called Knyf.
"You arrogant little brat!" he rammed his knife into Silent's neck…………in his dreams! Before he did though, Silent took out his poison, and thrusted it into the rogue's mouth.
"Stupid assassin! Don't you know I can counteract poison as well?? Bwahahahaha! Detoxify!" nothing happened.
"detoxify!"
still, nothing, then it dawned him, these two were not JUST assassins, they were much more than that. They were assassin crosses!
"Now you know what THIS is right? THIS is the poison we crosses make, if we drink it, we move much faster, but if you normal people out there drink it, it's time to say goodnight then!" Silent arrogantly said
"S-Silent Storm!? Hmph! I should've noticed earlier that you were that stupid bastard! Urk!!" and that was his last word, his eyes closed, and he was dead.
"Well, Silent, I think we should go back now. The sight of useless bodies irritate me." Seviatrem said, with a tinge of disgust
"Yeahh!"
-Meanwhile at the Schweirtshilt(is this how you spell it!?) academy in Juno….-
"So, as a result of molecular mutation, we can turn this ordinary Flora into a cute, loveable poring." Professor Deoxys explained to the class.
He poured some potion of some sort into the pot that held the Flora, and it twitched for a while, and then it, uhh….metamorphosed into a cute, loveable, adorable poring.
"Class, I'd like you to meet my poring companion, Mr. Strepsil!"
"Awwwww….." the whole class said.
"Oh, will you look at that! Time flies when you see one of 'em cute porings, anyway, class dismissed! And don't forget to do your homework! Check page 8246 for details!"
Deoxys got his stuff and head towards the teacher's lounge. There, he saw the different professors of the Schweirtshilt academy, Scythie, mathematics, Decipher, mythology, and Rakukojin, physics.
"Hey! Decipher! Got any plans today?"
"Actually, I gotz to go to Al de Baran today, I have to go meet an alchemist, maybe you should come and exchange biological ideas or something."
"I see, practicing summoning again right? You're a professor! Why try to learn necromancy!?"
"hmph! Scythie, you take care of Vermillion for a while? Like I said, I'll just visit an alchemist in Al de Baran."
"Sure!"
"Now, now, no need to show off to those sexay priests!" Vermillion said
"Hahahaha, you sure are funny. Vermillion. I have an important job for you."
"Oooooo…..does it involve the consumption of apples??"
"Vermillion, that's called dinner."
"I know, I just wanna sound more intellectual."
"Harhar, anyway, I want you to whisper whisper whisper got it?"
"I'll do my best! "Lord Decipher!"
"Stop it! You're making me blush!" Decipher left for the door, but then……..
"Hey! Master! About Iris! (Iris was Scythie's poring. She had two, her brother, Mr. Sickle, was cleaning the house, while Iris was in the hot tub….again)
Should I……" immediately, Decipher ran towards Vermillion and covered his mouth.
"Ahehehe, that's secret;; no need to know about it!! Ok, anyways, bye!"
The whole faculty waved goodbye to him, and he left for Al de baran.
-Back at the Assassin Temple-
Silent and Sevi reached the temple once again. The assassins were making a fuss about a request a shadowy figure gave to Faquir. She said only the best assassin in the clan can do this. NO ONE ELSE. She also wanted to speak to this particular assassin.
"S-Silent! You're here! Follow me please!"
"Faquir! Why are you shivering!?" he didn't answer.
This bugged out Silent more than ever. He went to the deepest part of the temple: the conference area. There he saw a woman, wrapped in a cloak.
"I'll leave you two to discuss this matter." And Faquir left the two to consult about the request.
"I see. You're the best assassin the clan has to offer, am I right? Silent Storm?"
"Wait! I never told you my name!"
"chuckle, never mind that now, I'll tell you my request right away. I need you to assassinate a professor."
"Hmph! That'd be a piece of cake!"
"This is no ordinary professor, I tell you! After killing him, I want you to get the Eye of Dullahan from him. Bring it back here."
"Consider it done. Give me the professor's statistics."
"He has red, fuzzy hair, a bongun hat, and his name is……"
"Hm?"
"Decipher!"
suddenly he recalled his dream, the voice shouting the name Decipher over and over again, and the corpse, rising from the dead asking why he had killed him.
"D-Decipher!?"
