Disclaimer: It's already in the first and second chapter.

For those who have reviewed my fanfic so far, I thank you. For those who love playing Final Fantasy XI, I'm in the linkshell called Holyblades so be sure to check us out, since we're always open for those who want to join. I'll explain how I met up with them in the fic later on.

And now I continue my adventures in Vanad'iel.

At sunrise, I was very hungry. Adventurers, especially us Bastokers, really don't get the best of food. However, being in Windurst, would give me a great opportunity to discover what I've been missing. Gil was an issue, so I had to do a lot of selling in order to obtain a decent meal. Windurst Waters was where most of the shops were, so I had to head to the Timbre Timbers Tavern to obtain a meal. Which consisted of a omelete made from a bird egg, with orange juice. I never really liked eggs, but I learned at an early age that when you are trying to survive, the worst food turns out to be the best.

At the end of my meal, I ran east to Windurst Walls and Heavens Tower. It was guarded by the toughest of mithra and the decidated of taru. I didn't have trouble finding my way in though. The moment I stepped on a blue circle, I was transported to the top of the tower.

Inside was practically the officials who ran the country from day to day. I went up to one of them to confirm my presence.

"Name, hume?"

"Name is Zeomeyer, representing the republic of Bastok."

"I see. Then you are here to deliver the peace offering." He then went behind the desk to hand me the magical weapon. "Very well, here it is. The yagudo are in Giddeus which is not far from this city."

"Thank you."

As I was about to leave, another hume arrived and approached me. She was about the same height.

"It is such a shame." she said to me.

"What do u mean?"

"The way the taru submit to the yagudo for a small treaty of peace."

"What is your name, Miss."

"My name is Lion, and like you I'm an adventurer."

"I must go Lion, but I'm sure that we will meet again."

"Yes, we shall."

By the afternoon, I returned to the embassy and made the exchange and sent the magical weapon back to Bastok while I was given a non-magical one. I was then sent off to Giddeus to find the spokesman.

However, this was a very difficult task, since the entire area was full of yagudo, hostile to anyone who tread on their land. I had my share of kills but it didn't seem to be enough. It got to the point that I was surrounded by a 100 of them and then their leader came out.

"Well look what we have here." a highly decorated yagudo came out and spoke in the same tongue as me. "What do u want hume?"

"I came here to deliver an item. Who are u?

I'm Uu Zhoumo.

I then showed it to him and he looked at it. He wasn't satsified.

"You call this a weapon!" he squarked and then threw the knife in my direction.

I used my shield to block it.

"Too bad for you, you're not going to make it out of here alive unless you get me the knife of Eyy Mon."

"But Eyy Mon is dead."

"You fool, do u really think he'd die that easily?"

He took great offense to my statement. However this was what I remembered when I saw my father's knife. Then I saw a yagudo come and spoke very loudly at the spokesman. At the same time, the rest of the yagudo surrounded me in a circle making sure that there was no way out.

Uu then pointed to the yagudo next to him. "This is Eyy Mon the Ironbreaker."

"My father killed him!"

I didn't believe him, but there he was.

The yagudo then spoke, and Uu translated everything to make sure that I understood.

"He almost did, but I'm still alive because someone came out of nowhere and saved my live."

You won't be saved this time. Now draw.

He then drew his dagger that looked like the one my father obtained years before.

"Ya know kid, this is my famous knife, cause I used it to carve those scars on your dad."

"You bastard."

"Of course I wouldn't worry about that now, since you're parents were attacked by goblins in the Dunes."

"How the hell did u know about that?"

"I asked the goblins to do me a favor."

That was when everything changed. Nothing else mattered. The mission, the surrounding yagudo, nothing. I was pissed as hell. The only thing that I didn't get was who was the hume leading them. However knowing that he was the one who sent the goblins after my family left me over the edge.

"Death is too much of a privilage for you." I then told him. "I'll torture you first."

I then closed my eyes and concentrated my power.

"I bind you in the name of Altana."

I cast Bind in hopes that he doesn't move. He can't move from where he is but he can still make a physical attack.

"May the light shine upon the darkness."

I cast Dia to lower his defense.

He then kneels to the ground while bind is in effect.

"I summon the wind to be my protector."

Casting Aero took a while but it was well worth it. The wind knocked Eyy over but he was able to get up. I drew my knife as I tried to dodge his attacks. I too was getting my share of cuts and bruises, and the insults he was giving me wasn't helping. He fully recovered soon and I saw that things were not going very well. I almost lost my arm at one instance because I was couldn't dodge all the attacks. I then used my ulitmate ability.

"Oh Goddess Altana, be my speed."

And then I started casting high cure spells to keep me alive.

As I felt things go back to normal, I then cast one last spell.

"Become my weapon in my battle, o thunder."

Thunder then strucked my blade, but it didn't hurt me. I then went up to Eyy and slashed him. Not only was I able to hit him, but he had a very shocking experience. I kept at it and it was working. Eyy was getting tired and looked like he was ready to give up.

"Do you want to live another day?" I asked him.

"You are a lot stronger than your dad." he told me. "We yagudo had a code of honor that established the small peace with the taru. Your father already killed me, but someone brought me back, I can't rest with my ancestors. The only reason that this occurred with me is because of one person and you will later meet him."

"Who is this man that infringed on your code of honor?"

"Spotter."

"Your father should have killed me years ago." he then said. "Restore my honor."

"I shall."

I then held my knife back. I slashed him with a Gust Slash and that ended the battle. The knife that he was holding dropped.

Uu looked at Eyy Mon and saw that he was dead. He later picked up the knife and stepped back.

"You are able to leave this place alive." Uu Zhoumo said and the Yagudo backed away from me.

I was able to leave Giddeus and return to the embassy in Windurst.

Bastok Embassy: Windurst

"The ambassador will see you now," I was then told at the desk.

In the office, the ambassador was waiting for my report.

After explaining everything to her. She then told me my next part of the mission.

"There has been an increase in orc activity in the nation of San d'oria. An emissary has been requested to come there and that would be you. The ambassador to San d'oria will explain the details when you arrive."

"It's going to take a while for me to get to San d'oria."

"Then I suggest u use a teleport service."

"No you don't understand." I then told the ambassador. "My family is resting in Muhara after an ambush by a force of goblins."

"Then you better go see them first."

I then returned to my rent-a-room again.

"Hey so did everything go well, kupo?"

"Yeah, I'm still alive but I'm going to stay in Windurst for another day before I head to San d'oria."

"Got to see your family, kupo?"

"As soon as I pack enough food to make it to Muhara." "I don't know how to cook.

"Either you find a wife, or learn, kupo."

"Well I could find a good woman here in windurst." "The one's in bastok are too materialistic."

"Well I'll see you tomorrow morning, kupo?"

"Goodnight, moogle."

I know I'm a new guy to this but I could definitely could use a lot of reviews. So keep sending them because they really matter to me. Not only that, it will help me decide on which direction I want this story to go.
