"Lauren what's with you lately?" Andrea asked over the phone. "...Nothing." Lauren said with sorrow. "No! Something is wrong with you because you are not saying much at all!" Andrea yelled. Lauren didn't say anything and hung up. "Geez why is Lauren so down all of the sudden?" Andrea questioned. She then glanced at her computer monitor and decided to log on to "The World". Dillon was in the kitchen eating popcorn while Lauren fell asleep in her room. "Something is wrong with her..." he thought.
"Hanu, Sinai something is wrong with Lumir." Heacura suspected."I guess so she has been quiet for a while now." Hanu said. "You guys should just give Lumir some time alone. Maybe she will come to her senses sooner or later. Let's start training anyway." Sinai said cheerfully. Balmung approached them, "How has Lumir been doing lately?" Heacura and Sinai sighed. "Lau-I mean Lumir has been acting down mostly...I don't know what is wrong with her." Hanu explained.
"Oh I see I will give her an email. Don't worry about it, I can talk to her..." Balmung said as he opened his email account. He then began typing up a letter:
Dear Fair lady,
Please reply to this email because I am worried about you. If you read this then please meet me in the Theta server.
Sincerely,
Balmung
"Okay then. Lumir should be getting it, right?" Heacura asked. "Yes. Well then, farewell." Balmung said waving good-bye as he walked away. As Hanu, Sinai, and Heacura watched him-Hanu made a comment, "You know I think Balmung is kinda cute..." "Hanu! Lumir is gonna kill you when she finds out." Sinai said shocked. "Hey I'm not interested in him, I'm just saying he's got a pretty face." Hanu shrugged in mocking tone. "Who's got a pretty face?" Lumir said walking towards them unaware of the conversation. "Uh-no one Lumir!" Heacura said waving her hands. Lumir then glared at them and teleported to the Theta server.
"So now where is he?" Lumir said looking around the chaos gate. Balmung hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. Lumir flinched and then realized it was him. "Balmung? You emailed me about something..." Lumir said getting to the point. "Yes, I'll explain after we go train for a while." He said calmly. Lumir nodded and the two headed over to a thunder based area. The sky was dark and cloudy but it was raining heavily. Lightning began to produce as the winds began to blow roughly. Balmung took Lumir's hand then played the Grunty flute. The Poison Grunty appeared and noticed Lumir a bit sad. He nudged Lumir on the cheek and she smiled a bit. "Get on," Balmung said.
Lumir nodded and Balmung helped her up on the Poison Grunty's back. Lumir was still holding the baby grunty close to her. Balmung got on behind Lumir and kicked the Grunty's sides gently. "Let's go." he ordered. "Yes Master." the Poison Grunty obeyed. As Lumir and Balmung headed over to the tower; monsters and treasure chests were lurking around but no viruses. "So Balmung why did you email me again?" Lumir asked curiously. Balmung ignored her question until they stopped at the tower entrance. Balmung then hopped off the grunty and picked Lumir up off it. "Stay here and keep an eye on this little one." Balmung ordered as Lumir handed the poison grunty the baby one. The Poison grunty nodded in agreement and knelt down by the door patiently.
Lumir and Balmung then entered the tower and were confronted by a few low level players. "Balmung-there is this huge monster that keeps killing us all. Please stop it!" A twin blade begged shaking. She had scratches and cuts all over her body but the other player looked like he was about to pass out. "Okay." Balmung grunted a bit as he took Lumir's hand and entered the chamber room. Skeletons were lying on the ground covered in dried blood. A sword was jabbed through one of the rib cages. Lumir felt a bit uneasy. As the magic portal appeared Lumir pulled out a few scrolls. The monster was a large red dragon it had about a dozen of small piercing yellow eyes. "What the-?" Lumir was shocked just when the figure's body size appeared. Balmung pulled out his sword. "Let's start some training Lumir. This isn't a virus or failed data; it is a regular monster but level 29 monster. I am at level 50, and you are at a level about 15 still so this could be somewhat challenging for you if you choose not to use data drain." Balmung explained.
"Okay I got the point. Let's just kill it. Hanged Man!" Lumir said as she held out a scroll in the air. The dragon was confused so it didn't know who or what to attack. Balmung grinned and jumped in the air slashing the beast. Lumir summon one of the elemental beasts and caused Juk rom and Rai vak. "Wow Lumir I see that you have done some studying." Balmung commented. "Nah, I had nothing else to think of. Now tell me why did you email me again for the last time?" Lumir said annoyed as she blocked the dragon's tail from hitting her with her heavy blade. "Well, I've been worried about you Lumir. Everyone else is too. You seem to be depressed about something. Want to share it?" Balmung said. Lumir flipped back and frowned, "Yeah, it's about my connection with Aura and her existence. She is always running from these high level monsters like skeith; even though I am guessing that there are other monsters more dangerous than Skeith itself."
"I see...try to keep in touch with Aura and your friends still. You are important to us." Balmung said. Lumir nodded, "No. Just my power to data drain, with out it I'm just a clueless newbie." "No you aren't! You have your own strengths too excluding the bracelet. I can see that, Aura can see that, and the others can see that even Lios and Helba. You are a unique character but there are limits sometimes." Balmung smiled. Lumir blushed lightly and smiled back, "Thanks I feel a bit better now Balmung." "A bit better fair lady?" He stated. "Oh okay, much better." Lumir corrected. The two continued fighting monsters for the rest of the day now Lumir was level 33. Of course it took about level 20 areas and a few hours but she and Balmung did good. As well as the other players of the party with their training.

Login 19: Dishoru's Email...
Now that everyone is at a decent level (late 20s to early 30s); Dishoru is beginning to find out these high level monster rumors and the areas they are located in through back doors. Meisa asks Helba to close off those certain areas even when they are fighting them. Lios is still following a false lead and now the Theta server is getting infected. Mistral, Kite, Memory, and Blackrose settle a bit trying to prepare on items while Lumir connects with Aura once again.
