It was early one clear, sunny morning as Louie woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window, and then quietly said to himself
"Looks like it is going to be another good day for an adventure".
With this he rose out of his bed and got ready for another typical day.
Meanwhile on the other side of Ofhun, Merill was already up and working at a local pub in an attempt to raise some money. Whilst working that morning she over heard a conversation between two men, dressed in adventurers outfits and carrying an array of equipment that could be used for a variety of things. She edged a little closer in order to hear what they were saying….
"So we are going to begin searching for this treasure today then, now that we have all the equipment ready and supplies stored up" said the first guy
"Yes, I believe it is time for us to begin the search" replied the second
As they continued Merill became more and more interested and took notes on their conversation, her mind already planning the great adventure that lead to the piles of treasure. Later that day when she finished working she headed off to find Genie and Melissa as quickly as she could to tell them the news.
After having avoided Master Foltess all day Louie felt quite relieved that he would be able to escape the magicians guild without being made to complete a mountain of assignments that he had neglected for some time now due to his new adventuring career. On his way back to his room he came across Ila in the corridor
"Hello Louie" she said as she noticed him
"Hey Ila, how's it goin?" he replied "Wanna get something to eat?"
"That's just like you Louie, always thinking with your stomach" replied Ila sarcastically
"Hey, I can't help it if I have a healthy appetite"
"Ok then Louie, lets go"
Together they headed for their favourite pub in the middle of town, chatting to each other about their day so far and all the work Louie was supposed to have done that day for various teachers at the magic guild.
When Merill had finally managed to get Melissa and Genie together later that day she began to explain the things she had heard at the pub earlier. After describing that she overheard the location of treasure to them and pointed out the fact that they were running low on funding again both Melissa and Genie agreed that it was in their best interests to prepare for yet another adventure. As they all began to discuss the various details, they heard a loud crash as the door of the pub swung open to reveal none other than Louie and Ila. The only sound that followed was Melissa's voice chanting
"Against my will, against my will…."
Louie instantly spotted the trio and headed over to the table and had barely sat down before saying
"Hey guys, what are you up to?"
Merill replied "Nothing that concerns you magician"
"Aww come on Merill, I know when you are hiding something, are you planning another adventure?"
After a brief silence Louie shouted
"Alright, so what is the adventure this time? A daring rescue? Does something need slaying? Come on tell me, pleeeeease".
Genie replied "If you must know we are planning to search for a lost treasure that is said to be quiet valuable".
"Awesome, so when do we leave then?"
"Louie, read my lips, no magician required" said Melissa rapidly
Louie, with a mischievous look in his eye, turned to Melissa and started to say
"But wouldn't it be against your will if whilst out adventuring, and I was all alone at home…"
"Ok, stop Louie, you can come" she said, stopping him before he had a chance to finish
"YEAH!" cried Louie..
