The Attack
People had always told Anna to stay away from the cave at the north side of town. She was only allowed to go near it to buy supplies for her brother upon his annual return. Anna's brother was a hunter, though many called him a sniper. He trained falcons and set traps,not to mention hitting targetswithout fail.It was Anna's dream to become just like her older brother, though her mother forbade her to do so. Anna was only trained enough to protect the house while Katsura (her brother) was away on his training. She was a level 24 archer. She had short soft, almost silk like pink hair and wore a red outfit. Many boys tried to dazzle her into dating them, though she never gave into their games. Katsura's return was close in hand so she was up to the store to buy him supplies that would assist him on his journey. She grudgingly trudged up the hill with a bag large enough to hold an entire arsenal of supplies up to the store.
She ignored the intimidating sounds she had always heard from cave. The sounds andshrieks of the zombies in that cave had always chilled her to her bones and made the hair on her neck stand straight up. She had heard before the era of prosperity when King Tristan the third asked for adventurers, they did not have enough money to give the deceased a proper burial and therefor threw them into the cave. After the adventurers had come and upped their economy, the dead that was thrown in the cave could not rest. The zombies they had allowed adventurers to kill, were former citizens of Payon. If you got to close to the cave a few years ago, they would come out of the cave and devour you on the spot. Yet theyet a death by a zombie is no death, shortly afterward you become one yourself. There was only one person Anna knew who it happened to, her dear friend Kyoko. She was a young Novice who had stayed with her family for awhile after Anna found her lying on the ground getting beat up by a Pecopeco.
"The experience here is great! I'll be able to become a swordsman in no time!" a young novice with blond hair exclaimed outside Payon dungeon.
"Kyoko, I beg you. You are not strong enough, please don't go" said Anne pulling the novice back from the dungeon.
"I'll be fine!" she exclaimed, just as happily.
Kyoko went forward after Anne had finally let go of her. When she was just at the dark opening in the hard cold stone that lead to the dungeon, several rotten decayed men had grabbed her. Anna began to fire arrows at Kyoko's captors. Anna, too, was a novice at the time and therefor was not very skilled. But she had gotten one down. Anna heard Kyoko'sscreams of agony coming from what looked like a pile of dead bodies. She shot for what seemed like hours. Only Kyoko's body remained when she was finally through. Her skin was cold to the touch, her face a blank stare that sent shiver down Anna's spine and a tear to her eye.
Anna backed away and got in fighting stance, she knew al to well what happened now. Kyoko's pale skin was turning the same purple as the zombies, her eyes opened. She was not Kyoko, the young perky novice, she was a deadly killer. Anna never called Zombies monsters. They were just lost spirits . Kyoko got up and walked slowly, as all zombies did, to Anna. When Kyoko was just close enough Anna she shot a holy arrow, and Kyoko died a real death.
The one reason Anna left the cave alone was witnessing the zombies attack some one with her own eyes. You could say she was a chicken, in truth she was desperately afraid of the zombies, but she was also afraid she would have to kill them, innocent people caught up in the game of fate. She refused to train in Payon Dungeon like all the other archers did because of that. She trained on Drops and Poporings that were found outside Payon. She went into the store and was buy supplies when the sound of clashing armor and weapons reached her ears.
Anna ran outside to see what the fuss was about and to her horror thousands of Zombies were exiting the caves and heading straight for the houses. She saw all the strong warriors that went into the dungeon fighting them off. She could help but scream in horror at this terrible scene. The mossy green ground that was so soft and comfortable to sit on when you ere weary was stained in blood and corpses that were slowly turning purple. She was so scared she couldn't move, she was crying tears of fear. She got hold of her self and shakily began to fight along side everyone. He aim was off due to her fear. She could see a silver mage being closed in. Shecast spells that took a few seconds to work. A few seconds she might not have to waste casting. Anna Shot arrows into each of the zombies and with the spells already done on them they were vanquished.
"Miss! Look out!" yelled the girl who she had just saved.
It was to late. The zombie grabbed a hold of Anna from her back. Anna screamed in absolute terror. A wizard cast lord of vermilion and all the zombies around Anna fell to the ground in the eternal slumber that would finally be theirs. There were too many, with each one defeated three more zombies came out. The outlook appeared bleak.
"Retreat! Theres to many!" Anna heard a thief scream with long black hair and brown clothing.
As all the others ran away all the zombies left behind Surrounded Anna. She screamed terrified of becoming just like Kyoko.
"No! It can't happen! I don't wanna die like this! SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, HELP ME!" she screamed as loud as she could.
Two people returned and fought out a path for Anna to get out: the thief and the mage. They ran down to the city warning everyone to get out. But no one believed them.
"You have to leave, what we are saying is the truth!" yelled Anna
"Anna, we still have wash to do before you brother comes, get in this house and stop telling suchlies." Yelled Anna's mother from the crowd.
"Look bitch! This young archer fought bravely with us to make the attack on the town easier for the Prontera Chivalry to handle. Get out or you're all gonna die and make her efforts, and me and Silver's pointless!" yelled the thief.
"Excuse me,proper English is 'Silver and I', Chiaki" commented the Mage with the silver colored wardrobe and hair.
"DOES THAT MATTER?" yelled the thief angrily.
"No I guess it doesn't, anyways you all have to get out or you'll die." Said the mage calmly even though she just got screamed at.
"I'm not leaving till I see it with my own eyes!" yelled a drunken old man
At that moment the zombies burst through a stone archway. The rotten decayed bodies as well as the new zombies of the deceased adventurers that fought them.
"Believe us now!" yelled the thief running off the stage with Anna and the silver mage.
The entire town panicked. They ran through the city gathering loved ones and prized possessions in hectic mayhem. The silver mage cast safety wall in a path to the guild war site over Payon castles.
"Go on the safety wall, you over there! Forget about your fucking camera! Get in the safety wall!" yelled the silver mage continuing the cast the path as the walls vanished.
The thief, however, had different plans. As everyone in the city dashed for safety she went in a few houses and stole things. Anna was fighting them, but had a hard time seeing as her level was so low. The thief was also a very low level, not that it affected her much because all she was doing was going through and stealing fromhouses, or stealing from the zombies themselves.
"Miss, thank you for saving me, but you need to go now!" said the silver mage to Anna
"My name is Anna, and I wont be leaving till my brother comes." Said Anna
"I'll get your brother out just go! This is no place for an archer of your skill!"
"I can't get skills unless I hone them!"
"You're like Chiaki, only honest and courteous and trust worthy and…wait no your nothing like her never mind… Your extremely stubborn! Now get out or you'll die!"
"Oh well!"
Once everyone was out, The thief, the silver mage, and Anna made their way toward Morroc fields on the west side of Payon which was now overrun by rotting zombies. It was an hour after the attack and the entire population of Payon, with the exception of those who perished, was sitting with there back to a cliff as the town was overrun and destroyed by dead people. Anna sighed heavily, her brother may have come and died. He wasn't in the fields now and he hadn't showed up before. She took out her anger on the nearest Drops and Poporings.
"One day big brother will you come back and take me with you?" asked Anna at about 7 years of age.
"Alright Anna, I promise when your 14 I'll teach you." He said smiling at his little sister.
He had crimson hair and a handsome face any girl would kill to go out with him. Anna and Katsura had inherited beauty from their mother as Anna found out when she was older. Anna had always followed her older brother unless he was with girls from the village of Payon. But now he was going somewhere he told her she could not go. She cried and tugged at his pant leg asking him not to leave.
"I'll come back to Payon every year okay Anna?" he asked her.
"I-I'll miss y-you b-big brother." Said Anna tears streaming down her cheeks.
"See you Anna, I'll remember you all the way." He said hugging her.
With that he turned his back to the road and started off.
Every year after that he returned on that exact day. This was the year Anna had waited for all that time, and this was the only year he had not come. Anna dropped to her knees and cried. She didn't want him to die, he was going to take her with him, and they were going to explore places no one ever explored before. She wanted to hear his deep smooth voice come behind her and say, 'Don't cry Anna, I'm right here.'
"Hey Anna! Stop your damn crying! We can't have wimps come with us!" yelled the thief.
"Pardon my EXTREMELY RUDE guildmember. I am known in Geffen as the light mage, known to my peers as Silver, the leader of No name brand guild. And over there is my idiot comrade Chiaki, a no good, untrustworthy, dishonest, rude, and all around horrible person. I was wondering if you would like to join my guild. So what do you say?" asked the silver mage
"Alright!" I jumped up happily knowing that even if it wasn't with my brother I could still go on a journey.
