Wings of Hope
Disclaimer: I don't own Ragnarok Online, but the story and characters are mine.
Thanks for the review guys. Sorry I couldn't update earlier. I'm having my midyear exam.
The guild members bided farewell before setting off to their destination. Mellisa, Claire, and Maria headed to Prontera, which is the closest city they could reach before sunset. They got themselves a room in the inn. Mellisa decided to take a stroll around the city while Maria and Claire stayed in the room.
Claire's POV
I lied in my bed for another half an hour, at least until Maria decided it was too boring,"Umm, Lisa had left an hour ago... Shall we go take a walk too?" She asked. There was a moment of silence. Maria started tugging on my monk's robe. "Just for a while okay?" I finally sat up. The priestess nodded enthusiastically, as she dragged me out of the inn.
On the other side of the city.
Mellisa walked through the busy street of Prontera. All of a sudden, a shout was heard. The assassin quickly scanned her surroundings for any sign of possible danger. She put back her Infiltrator, when she found out that it was only a robbed woman. The thief was running to the back alley. Lisa sighed as she dashed to catch the thief. Unknown to her, a knight was also running to her direction.
She grabbed the thief's collar and snatched back the woman's purse. "Jeez. Find another job." She said turning back just to face the knight's sword. "Give that to me assassin. Both of you are coming to Knight's guild with me." He threatened. "I am going to return this to the lady." Lisa shouted hotly. The red-haired knight smirked," Lies... This is what you get when you're speaking to a thief." He moved his swords expecting for a battle. The thief seeing this as a chance ran as fast as he could avoiding the two. "Hey!" Both of them shouted. 'It's no use for me to stay here anyway.' She threw the purse to the knight and ran," See you stupid knight!" The knight shouted in frustration, as he tried to catch the assassin. It was no use thought. Nobody could match the speed of an assassin. He shook his head and returned the purse to the robbed woman before going back to his duty.
Normal POV
Maria and Claire decided to stop at the bar. They met Lisa there. She seems agitated about something. She muttered something about a arrogant knight. Maria tried asking about it, but the assassin refused to open her mouth. Claire shook her head and ordered some drink for the three of them. Unknown to them, the same red-haired knight was watching them from a distance. 'The priestess, she looked familiar… Could it be?' He muttered to himself,' Better tell Sister Anne.' The knight quickly paid for his drink and left for the church.
The knight, known as Twin, made his way to the High Priestess' office. A few years ago, Sister Anne's child had gone missing with Maria, her neighbor. She had searched for them high and low with no avail. The blue-haired priestess looked like Maria. "Sister Anne." The knight did a bow showing his respects to the holy woman. Anne smiled at him," Hello. What brings you here today?" Twin told her about what he saw in the bar excluding his small meeting with the assassin. The high priestess was stunned,' could it be Maria? If it's really her… Maybe Claire and Lisa would be near her. But still, I shouldn't get my hopes up.' She sighed. Then, an idea struck her," Twin, how about you go and check it out? You're free right?" The knight made a face. "Please..." The high priestess pleaded. Twin sighed, but what could he do? He accepted the offer half-heartedly and began packing for his journey.
