A Crossroad, and a Wonderful Moment
Deep within the frozen valleys of Xarcabard lies the entrance to a shadow world: Dynamis. A world engulfed in darkness, forever banished from the grace of light, and the scene of a dreadful incident. Adventurers gather here, and other entrances, to battle against the shadow army.
Nyaa~,
I said to Chicora, excited to see her again. Chicora was sitting in the snow, eating on an orange kuchen—her favorite dish. I smiled to her and sat down besides her. May I have some,
I asked her, hoping that she would share. And what if I say no,
she asked me, obviously teasing me. I’d cry… a lot.
She smiled and gave me a slice of her orange cake. You are the best,
I told her, giving her a hug in appreciation. I know,
she grinned.
Chicora has been a friend of mine since I was but a kitten, and she is almost like a sister to me. We were both sitting there, happily purrring as we ate our cake. Our linkshell was still gathering, and our group grew bigger. I told Chicora how happy I am to finally be able to do Dynamis – Xarcabard since we have been working so hard in the cities lately. She nodded to me, hoping that it would be a good night.
Hello girls,
Darrius said as he walked up to us. Would you like to team up,
he asked us, bowing gallantly. Me and Chicora looked at each other, nodded and accepted Darrius’ offer. I knew Sparroweye would be a little upset as he prefers to have me as his White Mage, but right now I really wanted to party with Chicora. She is not only a good friend, but also my favorite Red Mage by far. We make an excellent team, and she does a great job whenever we party.
When the leaders finally gave the order to enter Dynamis, we were all filled with excitement and hope. Xarcabard holds a great many excellent relic armor pieces, and we were all eager to see what was in store for us. Our parties lined up in their designated spots, fending off the kindred army’s wave of attacks. Ravenclaw, my linkshell leader and a good friend, did a great job pulling, and he knows the zone very well.
The sky was cloudy, and the moon had a red shade to it, and the valley was engulfed in an bone-chilling darkness. The air was dry, and it was at times outright creepy to be there.
We were left in awe, though. as relic piece after relic piece dropped, and we were all excited about getting so many so quickly. I kept praying inside myself that a Black Mage would drop, but I didn’t get my hopes up as I’m like number four or five on the list. I was in a good mood though, and I didn’t let the drop list bother me as Dynamis is my favorite event of the week.
Some of our attacks proved futile, sometimes leaving us eating a dirt sandwich after being overrun by the kindred forces. But we were determined to go on, raising everyone quickly to get the most out of the time allotted.
Chicora did an awesome job, keeping me refreshed at all times, providing cures and debuffing the monsters when needed. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed by Altana, as a rare item finally dropped—an item my friend Chicora has been longing for, for months:
Congratulations,
I said cheeringly to Chicora, hugging her to show how happy I was for her. Now, please, please, burn that Vermillion Cloak of yours,
I told her jokingly. Chicora was speechless, as all her hard work had finally paid off. Now, let us see you try it on,
Darrius plead. I nodded, excited to see how it looked on her. Chicora was holding her new hat in her hands, looking carefully at it, crying with joy. I patted Chicora on the back and congratulated her again, before I slowly took the hat and put it on her head. How prrrettyful~,
I cheered.
Chicora began to dance in joy, which brought back a lot of fond memories from our childhood. Chicora is an excellent dancer, and I’ve always been a little jealous of her. I guess I’m just too clumsy to dance well.
As the time was about to run out, a pair of Cleric’s Mitts dropped. Fladnag, our Dynamis leader, announced that my friend Nicia was the lucky owner of the mitts. Nicia shook her head and told Fladnag she wanted someone else to have it, and moments later he congratulated me through the linkshell so everyone could hear: Congratulations, kitten, the mitts are yours.
I jumped for joy, even though I quite frankly don’t have a need for them. It is nice to be able to store the relic armor set with the Armor Depository Service, but I’m most excited about finally being 5/5. Actually, that is my second 5/5 as I also have a complete Paladin set.
