I kind of decided, i'll explain my illogical way of doing the generation quests. Only because I'm starting to get lost with all the fillers lol.
Chapter 1 - the earring quest
Chapter 2 - This was the only way i knew how to meet Tarlach (Btw, im not going to do all the rp dungeons, ill figure a way to do it another way)
Chapter 3 - Just a filler (expect ALOT of these)
Chapter 4 - This is the research part for Tir Ni Nog (but totally re-written in my eyes xD cuz idk why)
"I knew your husband."
"Here, take this Brown Evil Pass and this wing to take you to Bangor, you should go to Barri Dungeon and drop this pass."
"I am here every night, after the sun has gone down."
~*~*~
"Mommy! Where are you going?" asks my youngest daughter as she sawing me packing together a bag. She had been standing outside my bedroom door for about a minute.
"Mommy is going away for a little bit" I answer as I pick her up and carry her on my hip while I continue packing with one hand.
"Can I come?"
I chuckle before smiling at her, "No dear, I'm going alone."
"Who's going to help me with my homework?"
"You'll have your brothers and sisters, and I'll be back before Samhain."
"Okay."
Star stayed on my hip for a while longer until the rest of the kids came home from grocery shopping, Ckika walked over to me.
"Hey mom?"
"Hm?"
I let Star down and she ran to her siblings, Ckika sat on my bed and crossed her legs. She silently watched me packed for five minutes.
"…Do you have to go to Bangor?"
"Yes, for the fifth time. I already sent a letter to the local priest down there, but don't worry about it, I'll be back before you know it."
I kissed her forehead and she just nodded.
After talking to the man on the altar, I revisited Father Meven and told him that I wanted to go to Barri Dungeon. He suggested that I talked to the priest down there, so that way he could keep an eye over me while I could do whatever I wanted.
That night, we ate our food quickly before we had a 'sleep over' in the living room, everyone scattered on the couch and floor. Before falling asleep, I smiled to myself as I thought of us like the Brady Bunch.
I shouldn't watch so much television.
~*~*~
Morning came, and I left with Ckika and Sularin. We walked to the gate, since it was leading directly to Gairech Hill which was between Bangor and Dunbarton. We went our separate ways, which left me and Zeiyo alone.
"Diya?"
"Hmm? What is it Zeiyo?"
"Why are you going to Barri? I mean, how do we not know he's working with the dark knight and trying to destroy us?"
Paranoid spirit. Why couldn't I get a sweet and optimistic one? Well, better than some whiney one that always complains about me.
"Because, what else would I do? I'm bored, no one will let me dare go outside and look for Trionia, you see how the kids react when I leave Tir! This is just another adventure, so stop whining and be happy. You finally get to fight again."
~*~*~
"Can you say 'Waste Land' much?" Zeiyo floated around me, and he voiced exactly what I had been thinking.
Bangor was a mining town, mostly known for its coarse red soil and equally coarse miners. It was a desert that happened to have a town in it.
I walked down the path before I spotted a little girl, coughing a bit. She wore a pink hat with a matching dress and had long light brown hair. I thought about going over to her but she turned to me, and instead, I simply waved and continued on to the church.
Now, when I said I was going to Bangor church, I didn't know that Bangor was currently, churchless. I walked to the end of the path and found a child standing there, right away I knew who he was.
"Comgan?"
"Diya! You have arrived!"
His white hair and faraway blue eyes were almost hypnotizing. To me, he looked practically like an angel in his priestly garb. He walked over to me and took my bags as I mindlessly followed him into a home.
"Having a crush on the kid? Look at him, he's so…young" Zeiyo whispered to me, but Comgan was so far ahead that I don't think he could hear him, unless he tried.
I roll my eyes and whisper to him, "Jealous?"
"Of a kid? That's impossible, mistress Diya loves me and me alone."
A soft chuckle escaped my lips and Comgan looked back at me; I shook my head.
"It's just my spirit."
Comgan smiled as he led me into a room. It was a small bedroom with a bed, a window facing the town, and a desk. I put Zeiyo in the corner as Comgan put my bag down on the desk.
"I'm surprised but glad that someone offered to come here."
"Father Comgan?"
"Don't call me Father, just Comgan."
"Comgan", I corrected myself, "I am only going to be here for a week. I was hoping I could take tomorrow off, and search the Barri Dungeon?"
He smiled at me and handed me the letter that he'd received. It was Father Meven who had sent the letter, so I didn't know exactly how much this priest knew.
"That is the letter I got", he started, "you can read it if you want. I'll leave you alone. I'll be right down the hall if you need me. The shower is free if you want to take a bath."
"Thank you again- Comgan."
He left and I sat down on the bed. Zeiyo was already out of the sword and sitting on the bed with me, looking over my shoulder at the letter.
"What does the letter say?"
"I don't know! I just got it. Go sit in the sword or go to sleep. We have to dungeon tomorrow, we don't know what we're dealing against."
Not bothering to check if he did as told, I opened the letter and read it slowly.
Brother Comgan,
This is Meven, the priest from Tir Chonaill. A young woman is
going to be in your area, a church follower named Diya Light.
She wants to go into the Barri Dungeon and I was hoping that
you could put her up during her stay. In payment, she can stay
there with you for a week, helping you in any way. Reply back.
Father Meven
"Should have known it wasn't going to be something too weird."
"Zeiyo! What did I just say?!"
The spirit gives me puppy eyes, a trick he learned from my kids.
"Mistress Diya…I'm hungry."
Gluttonous spirit!
"Tomorrow, I'll buy some things for you. Lets just go to sleep."
He went back into the claymore as I grabbed a change of clothes and took a bath.
~*~*~
"Diya?"
What the hell!?
I turn off the water and wrap a towel around me, opening the door fully, I see Comgan standing in front of me, his face a bright pink.
"Yes Comgan?"
His eyes looked everyone but at me, "I-I was…er…hm."
"Yes?" I shift my weight on my left leg and wait.
"C-c-can you p-please visit my…room?" he swallowed, I don't know why but the idea of him finding me attractive, made me feel better.
"Of course, with or without the towel?"
Laughter echoed the house as he shouted out my name angrily.
~*~*~
"What is so important that you had to come in when I was bathing?"
His room looked exactly like mine, minus the window view. I sat in the chair as he paced the room, his face still red.
"Diya! Don't say it like that." He scolded but I had to resist the urge to smile, he was very cute when he was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry Father Comgan, I apologize." I pulled him over and kiss the top of his head, a method I used to calm my children down. "What is the matter?"
Pouting for a second, Comgan finally spoke.
"It's about the dungeon."
"…What about it?"
"I know someone who can help you. It's not wise to enter a dungeon alone, unless you have already explored it countless times."
"So who do you want me to bring?"
"A traveler named Kimariaka, she's a wizard with a gift for blades. She started coming a few months ago. She is very able. You can find her in Port Ceann, go through Morva Isle and you'll reach a beach, you can find her near the cliff on the edge. At least, at night, she camps there."
I stood up and he did the same, "So we're going now?"
"How soon can you get ready?"
In a matter of few seconds, unless I had to wake Zeiyo up, but how dangerous could the beach be?
"Comgan! That's a personal question!"
The priest looked at me weirdly and I smirked, "Asking a woman how fast can she take off her clothes, what kind of priest are you!?"
"WHAT!?" he choked out and his face reverted to a bright beet red.
~*~*~
We were standing outside at the beach. I now wore my icy blue Edekai's Priest Robe with blue Knee High Boots.
The beach was beautiful at night, with the moon brightly shining the sky, and the waves crashing on the sand. I even saw a king crab running across the sand, but Comgan led me away from the water.
Then we saw a camp fire, with a child standing by it. She was drinking a jar of water while poking the fire with some wood. Comgan walked up to her slowly.
"Kim, I suspected you'd be here."
The girl turned around and I couldn't help but stare. She barely passed my waist, and again, one look in her eyes and I knew what she was. Doubting that Comgan knew the same, I decided to stay silent. The girl looked happy to see Comgan, but one look at me and her smile disappeared.
"Who is she?" she asked harsly before going to Comgan's side.
"This is Diya, she's staying with me. She is my newest helper, she's from Tir."
"What is she doing in Bangor?"
"Kim! I'm sorry Diya." Comgan apologized but I shook my head.
"It's okay, and I'm here because someone gave me a pass to enter the dungeon. Comgan told me that you were able to help me, since you were strong."
For a minute, Kimariaka looked as if she wasn't going to help but Comgan came to the rescue.
"Kim, help her. It'll be a favor, for me." The priest pleaded and Kim's will bended, almost instantly.
"…Fine, I'll come by the inn tomorrow."
Uh oh.
"Actually…" Comgan started but I stepped in before he could continue, "-I'll be waiting outside with Comgan, so we don't waste any time. I have to see him in the morning anyways so I can get some holy water. Okay?"
"Okay."
Kim and I nodded at each other before I decided it was time to go back. On the way back to the 'church,' Comgan had told me. Kim was an assassin, until her group was slaughtered by Paladins who mistakened them for the people that killed the previous lord. She had found her way to Comgan and he nursed her back to health.
To think, she was only thirteen.
~*~*~
"Morning Comgan!" I said happily as I walked back into the house, Zeiyo on my back with his spirit belly stuffed and my money pouch empty. The young priest smiles at me.
"You seem in a good mood."
"Of course! I smell delicious pancakes, I haven't eaten something that I haven't made, in like…forever!"
I sit at the table and Comgan serves me a plate, Zeiyo decides to join the converstation.
"When Diya makes food, people normally devour it without a second thought, going on to ask for more. It's why she's is the best human in the world."
"Oh? Are you saying that because I just fed you over five thousand worth of stuff?"
"Mistress!" He pouted, but I just laughed at him and offered him a bracelet, which he happily absorbed.
"Comgan, when will Kim be here?"
"Actually, any moment now, so hurry up and finish eating."
I start eating as Comgan picks up a box and goes outside, I was halfway through with my food when I heard screaming. In a second, I was outside with Zeiyo in my hand.
"What happ…well…I knew you weren't like normal priests." I snicker.
Comgan's face is again, bright red. The box was thrown to the side, and the iron ores inside were sprawled about. But the eye catcher, was underneath him was the young ex- assassin girl, who was blushing up a storm.
She was wearing a jet black Trudy Hunting Suite, something no child should be allowed to wear, for it exposed FAR too much skin.
"K-Kim! I'm s-s-sorry!"
Comgan jumped up instantly but Zeiyo, again, decided to join in.
"He's a priest that makes it his special mission, to fall for girls. Hey Diya, why don't you become a priestess and hook up with someone?"
"Oh my god! You're a pervert and a pedophile! He's too young."
"He isn't that young."
"I'm fourteen." Comgan says quietly, his face turning more red as we speak.
"…Okay, maybe he is that young. He's a middle school player."
"Zeiyo!"
I tried to be angry with my spirit but instead, I laughed. Kim glared harshly at the both of us but it lost its strength, due to her pink cheeks. At least it was enough to stop my laughing as I walked over to Comgan and patted his head.
"It's okay Comgan. Kim, are you ready to go?"
She nodded and waved goodbye to Comgan, I gave him a hug.
~*~*~
I will never ever underestimate a thirteen year old again.
She soloed the entire dungeon almost; she took on King Mimics, Sickle Laghodessas (which just looked like giant ticks), Brown, Gray and Green Gremlins, which creeped me out. A Giant Worm-- which was actually not as easy as it sounded, and Flying Swords. We were right in front of the boss room, Zeiyo was crying for food about now and I was crying for a bandaid.
"You're really out of shape" Kim stated in her smug tone.
"What's it to you?" I snap back.
She twirls a blade in her hand and rolls her eyes at me. If I had even an ounce of energy left, I would have jumped and strangled the little twerp!
"Don't worry, ogre warriors aren't that hard. Just stay back as I finish this."
"Whatever."
I sat down and relax, when suddenly something zapped Kim right back out of the boss room.
"Ow! That's it!"
"That doesn't look like Ogres." I stated smartly, and she glared at me.
"Thanks Captain Obvious. That's not an Ogre Warrior…it's a black Wizard."
I looked deeper in the room, coming at us was a Black Wizard, as Kim had said and 8 wisps, crackling brightly. The Black Wizard stopped directly in front of us. Something about it didn't seem right.
"Take this!"
Kim loaded a firebolt but before she could, the wizard zapped her again with a thunder bolt. He was obviously a better wizard than her. She came at him with her daggers but he casted lightning bolt and before I knew it, she was throw clear across the room.
"Kim!"
"…"
The black wizard turned to me and charged his lighting. I was hit hard and throw against the wall. Slowly, I got back up to watch the Black Wizard…waiting. Waiting for me to get up? I charged my weak ice bolt when I suddenly realized something.
"Zero?"
The wizard stood there, letting it lighting skill fade. I hold my shoulder, surely dislocated, as I walked over to him.
"Zero…if that's you…I swear…answer me!"
"…Di…ya?"
I smile widely, it was Zero. For reasons unknown, I started crying and just as I was about to throw my arm around him, all I saw was a flash of brown and gray.
"Good job Isaki! Tear that jerk apart!"
"No! Kim! Stop it, he's not bad!"
"Did you hit your head too hard!?
Though that was probably the stupidest thing I have ever said, considering how he just almost killed the both of us. But that was beside the point! I had to save him.
"Mistress Diya…" Zeiyo called out sympathetically as I just watched Isaki and Kim take the wizard down, in a matter of seconds.
"Ha! Take that…what? He's dead, we're safe. Why are you crying?"
I walked over to the corpse and collapsed to my knees beside him, with one arm, I pulled him on my lap and rubbed his head.
"Diya…"
"It's Zero! I know it is! And you killed him!" I screamed at Kim, the young ex assassin walked over to me.
"Listen here! If you knew that guy from before, then get over it. This guy wasn't the same person you knew, he changed. Black Wizards work for Cichol, they've given up themselves to please their god. Let, whoever he is, go. Besides, we're not done here. We have eight wisps to go."
Had Zero given himself up to the Fomor God Cichol? Was he really planning to kill me?
No, Zero is much stronger than that!
I notice he has a medal around his neck, and before can think, I take it off him just as his body poofs into smoke. Gone forever. Again.
"Alright Kim, lets hurry the hell out of here!"
"Damn straight!"
We both go in, smashing and burning everything at any chance we can get. We reach the treasure room. Snatching up my prize, I return to the surface to find out, we've wasted an entire day in the dungeon.
"Aw! See, because we kept taking breaks, we were in there all day!" Kim complained but I ignored her as I started walking back to the church.
There were going to be a lot of questions after my hot bath and after Comgan looked over my wounds…and maybe after that a night full of worries and doubts.
Chapter 5 - the entire barri dungeon quest and something you wont know til the next chapter, the begging of the Medal of Priests quest.
And i perosnally think spirits cant be heard but my darling husband says they can .
