Roku: Concentrate! Concentrate! You?re hopeless!
Roku and Chii sighed in frustration.
Roku: Is it so hard to do just this one simple spell?!
Su: B-but I?m-
Roku: No buts! Try again!
Su sighed in defeat. She stood up and tried their best to concentrate.
Roku: Now focus on the tree and make it grow!
Su was determined to do it right this time. The black magic swirled around her feet. As she recited the spell, the magic began to shimmer and surround the tree. Within seconds, the tree had ripe fruit hanging off it. Overjoyed, Su lost focus and the magic disappeared.
Roku: You lost focus of the magic during the spell!? What kind of Mage are you?
Chii: One with a very short attention span apparently. Well, at least you made the tree grow. At least you?re having more luck with her than I am with this one over here -_-. She has no clue how to make a simple potion.
Carlie: Hey, I?m trying!
Chii was sitting on a tree stump, trying her best to teach Carlie how to put ingredients in it correctly and bewitch it so it would work.
Chii: Well try harder or else the other one will die.
Su glared at Carlie.
Su: Get this potion right or I?m taking you with me.
Carlie gulped and stared back at the small book which had the potion listed in. She could feel everyone glaring at her back.
4 Tompear stems, 1 Wing Tree leaf, 5 garlic sprouts, 1 Zacshroom, 1 snake eye and 5 drops of lemon juice.
All of the items fell into the little bowl, one by one. Using a wooden spoon, Carlie slowly stirred the items which focusing some magic into the mixture. A few minutes later she stopped and held the bowl up.
Chii: I actually think you got it right this time! Drink it Su!
Su yanked the bowl out of Carlie?s hands and downed the whole mixture in one big gulp. Her body shimmered for a few seconds, and her eyes sparkled.
Su: It tastes like spicy Cheetos!
The other three shared a puzzled look and shrugged their shoulders. Roku walked over to the tree Su grew and picked a few fruit from it. He handed everyone one of the fruits.
Roku: We?d better get going...you can eat on the way.
He walked opposite the stream running through the glade. The girls followed behind silently, until Su walked beside him and decided she was going to bug him.
Su: Roku-san!!! Can I call you that? Where are we going? Why don?t you need to eat? Can you train me some more? Am I a good Mage?
Roku forced a smile and tried to patiently answer her questions.
Roku: You see, little one, I?m an angel. I cannot eat human food, because it isn?t good for me. Sadly, I cannot teach you any more than what I have taught you, but I?ll find you a proper teacher. I?m taking you to meet the rest of our group, we have two Mages who might be able to train you guys. ^_^
Su nodded silently and kept walking. Silence fell upon the group.
Su: Do you guys hear that?
Roku, Chii, Carlie: Hear what?
The bushes on the right side of the path rustled. Chii was the first to react. She waved her hand in the air and her silver scythe appeared in her hand. She took a defensive stance and waited to see what enemy she would have to face.
Out of the bushes jumped a frog that had a bushy tail like a squirrel. Chii sighed and her scythe disappeared in a silver mist.
Chii: It's only a frogquirrel. No need to worry. Su and Carlie can defeat it.
Carlie and Su: U-us?!
Chii: Yeah,that thing is so weak you can kill it with the basic slash spell. Even someone your level should be able to kill it without tiring. If you attack at the same time it'll die.
The frogquirrel stared at them and barked.
Su:
Misty black and white magic swirled around the forest floor. As the spell was recited, the magic took the form of two katana and positioned themselves above the quivering frogquirrel. The two katana struck at the same time, and the creature vanished in the same silvery mist Chii's scythe had vanished. On the ground there were the same weirdly coloured stones that Carlie and Su had found in their package when they had first arrived in NB.
Su: Cool! It vanished!
Roku: That was possibly the lamest fight I've ever seen. Now pick up those rocks and let's go.
Carlie: ...What are those rock anyways?
Chii: Expert Points ^^. They help you level up so you can become stronger. The tougher the opponent, the more EP left behind!
Su picked up a blue stone and it disappeared into her hand, then her body glowed blue and she felt a wave of energy rush through her. After Carlie had picked up a few of the magic rocks, they began walking again.
-A few hours later, still walking-
Su and Chii: Our feet hurt!
They were ignored by Roku and Carlie.
Su and Chii: We said, our feet hurt!
Silence. The two gave up their complaining after a few minutes of being ignored. The silence was broken by Carlie.
Carlie: Roku-san, how did you end up here? Surely you are a real person like the rest of us...
Roku: Ah, good question. I was like the rest of you, I was sent an e-mail one night and I signed up. The dreams with V followed after, and I eventually met Chii, and we started up our group. We realized many things along the way, and our group grew. I?ve been here for 3 weeks, which is the longest out of everyone in our group.
Su: What about your character? He has a past, right?
Roku: All I know is I?m the leader of the entire angel army, and I have a reputation for being the kindest to humans. I?m also highly ranked in the Angelic Council. I spend time among humans so I can maintain peace between the heavens and the earth.
Su: Cool! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!
Roku chuckled nervously and patted Su?s head.
Roku: Keep dreaming kiddo ^_^. Ah, we?re almost at the rendezvous point!
They emerged at the edge of the Treegap woods just as the sun was setting. The ground was a golden yellow, and it was dry and parched. There were no more trees, just a few bushes here and there. It looked deserted, except for the cloaked figures standing around a campfire beside a giant rock. Roku and Chii were greeted warmly by their friends, while Carlie and Su stood at the edge of the group, looking around uncertainly.
???: Roku, who the heck are these newbies? They?re so weak I could defeat them with one punch!
Roku shushed the man and whispered something to him quickly. The man?s eyes went wide and he immediately whispered the same thing to the woman standing next to him. Word quickly spread among the group. Everyone talked in low voices so Carlie and Su couldn?t hear.
Chii: Stop it guys! You?re making them uncomfortable! Since you?re not polite enough to introduce yourselves, I?ll do it! Everyone, these two Mages are Carlie and Su! Carlie, Su meet everyone!
The man who had called them newbies turned out to be Grimm, a fallen angel with great black wings who looked very dangerous. The woman next to him was called Shizuka, a Dark Mage, and behind her was her twin Shizune, a Light Mage. They both had icy blue eyes and pale blue hair, but Shizuka?s was long and Shizune?s was short. Then there was Shade, a Fallen Angel turned Oracle, Train the Ninja, Keotsu the group Tactician, a Warrior named Ikazuchi, another Fallen Angel named Mizu , two Archers called Ichi and Kikyo and an Elemental Wizard named Sakura.
Su: So many people...My brain just died.
Some people chuckled. Most just looked at her with disapproval in their eyes.
Shizuka: Are they really the ones?
Shade: They are.
Grimm: You have to be kidding me! I could have found better people than you Roku!
Roku: Oh really? Maybe you should go try then!
Grimm: Maybe I will.
He smirked.
Carlie: What?s wrong with them?
Keotsu: They have a rival-friend-enemy thing going on...Don?t ask.
Ichi: I?m hungry...can we just get over the drama and eat already?
Everyone sat around the campfire and roasted some animal they had caught earlier. There was some small chatter going on, but everyone was mostly silent. Roku and Chii said they were tired and left. Carlie and Su felt alone and uncomfortable among these strangers. Shizuka and Shizune seemed to sense this.
Shizune: Why don?t we all tell them something about ourselves?
Shizuka: It would help since we?re all going to be a group from now on! I?ll start, then we can go around the circle.
Shizune: To make it fun let's add something shall we?
In Shizune's hands was a pink ball with a timer screen beeping quickly. It looked sort of like a bomb, but it was pink!
Shizune: This is a touch-bomb, I got the pink one instead because the black one looked disturbing. Anyways, it responds to a person's touch by counting down and it explodes after one minute so don't take too long, okay?
Shizuka: Wait, what is this? Kindergarten?
Shizune: Shut up Nii-chan and let us have our fun~! ^_^ So I'll start, I'm Shizune, Shizuka's twin sister. I'm a skilled white mage, but unfortunately I don't come from the real world like most of you guys. But I do enjoy listen to your stories about how it's like living back then.
Su and Carlie started to feel a bit homesick after hearing Shizune's words. Shizune saw this so she quickly handed the ball to her sister who was currently munching on a chicken wing.
Shizuka: Hi, I'm Shizuka. Pleased to meet you. Next.
Everyone in the circle sweat dropped at Shizuka's introduction.
Shizune: -_-" You see, even though we're twins Shizuka doesn't like to talk that much. Oh well let's move on~
Shizuka tossed the ball to Grimm starting a new minute on the timer.
Grimm: My name's Grimm and like most of you I was from the real world, but my story's a bit different from others....
The long awkward moment of silence was broken once again by Su with a weird question.
Su: So...can I call you Grimmy-chan ^-^?
Grimm twitched at Su's remark, but was interrupted by a loud exploding noise followed by the sound of someone laughing hysterically.
Roku: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD Y-your face!!!
Grimm punched Roku in his face while his guard was down , leaving him with a black eye and Grimm with a smug look on his face. Roku's black eye healed after Shizune cast a quick healing spell over it.
Roku: Ow...you?re so mean Grimmy-chan.
Just about when Grimm was going to hit him again, Shizune death glared at Grimm. He scowled in annoyance, but calmed down.
Carlie: Wow...so scary O_O
Shizune: Sorry about that~. I have an extra touch-bomb, but it's not pink unfortunately T^T
Shizune fetched a shiny purple ball from her leather pack and threw it to the mysterious Mizu.The ball clattered to the ground and de-activated.
Mizu: ........
Shizune: Com' on Mizzy don't be shy!
Mizu: Whatever......
Mizu walked off into the woods with his hands in his pockets without saying another word.
Su: What's with him?
Shizune: Oh nothing....He just doesn't like to talk much ever since his best friend got killed...
Carlie: His best friend got killed?!?! By who?
Shizune: ........I'm actually not quite sure....
Carlie stood up all of a sudden and followed the same direction that Mizu went in the forest.
Su: Hey! Where are you going Carlie?
Carlie: I'm curious about what happened. I'll be right back ^^ Don't worry. Just keep the game going and fill me in on what people said later.
Su: Um....alright. But be careful!
Carlie smiled at her friend's concern and wandered into the dark, gloomy path. On her way, she could have sworn she saw a pair of red glowing eyes staring at her.
Carlie: Oh sh!t. What the hell did I get myself into?
The white mage heard the bushes rustling .The same creature with red glowing eyes came closer until it jumped right at her. She closed her eyes, waiting for her death, but instead she heard a slicing noise.
???: Y?know, curiosity killed the cat.
