I had been lacking on my duties to serve a few people… mostly Tenan. I had pretty much ran away from him since the night I had that dream. I wonder day after day after day if Rogue was still alive and well and if he’s ever coming back. Tenan had told me that Rogue’s brother contacted him… And said that he was never coming back. I didn’t want to believe him, but I had no other choice. Just let him go, Aaru… he said to me. I was hiding out in Sleepywood’s jumping area. It was the one place Tenan refuse to go. I had stayed there playing around with my communicator. No one was online of importance other than Ms. Fire. For some reason I had told her my dream.
She wanted to know how I felt about it. What I thought. I couldn’t really answer her about it the way she wanted to. Just remembering him kissing me so deeply like he did in my dream made me blush to the point that I giggled like a young magician going to Magic Academy with Grendal The Really Old. “He makes me feel things that I can’t feel with any other guy, you know? Like… I want something to happen between him and I and just have this bond that could never break.” I said to her whole-hearted. I was blushing and smile holding back some painful tears.
“Is that so… sounds like you’re in love with this man.” She said after a small giggle.
“I am.”
“Why don’t you tell him?” she asked me.
“I… I can’t. There’s no way for me to tell him. He’s probably forgotten about me” *Flash back: Aaru, I’ll never forget about you.* I thought to myself… I’m lying to her and to myself… How horrid of me.
“You said that he loved you in return, and that he’ll never forget about you.”
“Yeah that’s true Ms. Fire but I don’t know… I can’t tell him because… because.”
Tenan had butted into our conversation. “He’s not coming back and face it Aaru. It’s something you have to deal with. Everyone looses someone dear to them in their lives; they deal with it and move on. So stop mopping around and start training. You have a debt to pay.” And with that he left to train on Zombie Lupins.
“Ms. Fire… Is Tenan always this pushy with you.” I asked her. There was a small pause in our conversation then she later responded with…
“No, he’s the sweetest man in the who world to me. Matter of fact, just between you and I… I’m in love with him.” She said. I had assumed she said it with the biggest of smiles on her face and probably blushing. “With… Tenan?”
“Yes with Tenan.”
I shouted loudly into the communicator, “ARE YOU CRAZY!!! WITH A MAN LIKE HIM!??!”
“What do you mean ‘a man like me’?” he asked, I forgot he was linked to my communicator was well as Ms. Fire’s.
“Uh… never mind. Forget it” I hung up the communicator and used a return to town scroll and ended up near the sauna. I used another scroll to head to Ellinia.
My heart, for some reason, fell unease at the fact that this woman was in love with Tenan. Surely I wasn’t in love with him, but still… a man like him… he is not gentle. Well not towards me anyway. I always wonder why was he so hard on me since I was younger. As I remembered it well. Tenan picked me up from the pits of green mushroom I couldn’t handle them on my own and they kept attacking me left and right. He appeared out of nowhere and killed them all with Magic Claw. “Stand behind me and I’ll protect you!” He shouted and he then gave me a special communicator to plug into my very own. It was known as a Party Communicator. I connected the Party Communicator onto my own and he began to heal with me his Heal. The spawn of green mushrooms became overwhelming and he then lifted me into his arms and bomb rushed through the mobs of Green mushrooms and slimes healing us along the way. I looked at him as protected me in his arms. I know that he was a cleric, but I could tell that all those injuries that he received and healed somewhat hurt him. I wanted to ask him if he was all right but he was determined to carry me all the way to town. As we arrived there he dropped me on the ground, I landed on my bottom which kind of hurt and made me shed tears. “You are far you young to handle those monsters, train on snails. And only snails until I say other wise. From now on I will be your Teacher and you address me as either Master or Tenan-sensei. Got that?” I wanted to yell at him and spit on him. I was still in my Maple Island clothing. But I only found myself to be humble at that time and said to him “Yes, Tenan-sensei.” He then kneeled before me and caressed my cheek wiping the tears from my eyes. “I’m sorry that I dropped you so hard. C’mon lets go to the store to buy your first uniform as a magician.” He extended his hand for me to take it and to help me off the ground. I put my hand in his and he walked me with me, hand in hand, to the store. He bought my first outfit. It wasn’t much however I liked the colors he chose for me. It was a Green Armine Top with my Green Armine Skirt and Yellow Basic Boots. He bought me a wooden wand and set me on my way to Henesys to train on snails. Tenan often left me on my own and only came around to give me things for me to survive, such as money and foods. Mostly Blueberry huggies and orange juice. Since that day I was under his wing, he wanted me to become a cleric like him, but I wanted to be an Ice Lightening Mage. He yelled at me at first but then he suddenly changed his mind and said to continue training until I started to hit my 50’s. Ever since I could remember, Tenan was over-protected of me… more so like his child or sister than a lover.
After arriving to my destination I headed to Perion by foot. I didn’t really mind it, however, it was so hot that I took off my uniform to put on my sauna robe and sandals and ran through the sand to head to town. As I arrived I took a small break, trying to catch my breath. On the platform next to me there was a couple arguing. I looked over at them with interest.
Girl: You’re never around to save me! And you’re a goddamn Cleric, A Cleric!
Boy: I was talking on my communicator, I’m sorry all right.
Girl: Whom were you talking too? Hm? It was that woman again wasn’t it?
Boy: She’s a friend of mine, please sweetie, understand that I met her before you; she’s like a sister to me.
The girl fwapped her boyfriend upside the head with her snowboard and declared that it was over between him and her. He sided and looked over to me and hopped over and sat down next to me and he shed tears. I looked over at him then at the girl who was a few platforms away sitting by herself. “I wish she wasn’t jealous all the time…” He said to me rubbing the back of his head. “She did take it far to seriously… I mean… she overreacted.” I said to him, he smiled and laughed slighted extending his hand towards me. I took his hand unto my own and we shook hands and exchanged names. He name was Clerk. After staying there for a while chit-chatting with Clerk until he had to go somewhere, we split our ways and I headed towards the Fire Boar pit.
Along my way, a snail tripped me and I landed on my face, so I lay there poking the green snail with my fairy wand until it died. For some time the snail bit my wand and I shook it for a while… it was quite amusing. From the platform above me someone called out to me… “Hey… girl.” I looked around and I saw someone on the ropes looking down at me. It was a very high-leveled man. “Would you like to join my guild?” He asked me as he jumped from the rope to land a few feet away from me. He walked over to me and helped me off the ground. He smiled at me and asked me again, “Would you?” I looked at him and shrugged at his offer, “Sure…” he smiled and asked me to pay the fee. I paid him and he walked me to the fire boar pit.
“My name is Icey, by the way.” He introduced himself to me.
“I-I am Aaru.” I said to him… Feeling somewhat shy.
“I know.” He said to me, with a soft smile. “I’ve been watching you for some time now… And you’ll make a wonder addition to my group.”
“You…. You’ve been… stalking me!?!?” I said with a slight shock because I had never seen him before.
He laughed at me and complimented me on my looks, which caught him by surprise because it seems that he didn’t want me to know that he liked me that way. I didn’t even know this man and he’s complimenting my skin and my body figure. His words gave me slight butterfly in my stomach and I have to admit that I blushed. He had to go after he introduced himself due to another member getting in trouble with another guild’s member, there was about to be a fight. He gave me the guild’s communicator to put onto my person. So that way he and I could always be in touch. He gave me a soft kiss on the cheek and ran off. Not to far behind me stood Tenan a watching over me.
“Is this the thanks I get after taking you under my wing?” he said to me.
“What are you talking about Tenan?” I asked him
“Who was that person?” he asked me rather rudely.
“My guild master, Icey.” I said to him. “There is no need to get jealous,” I said to him
“I’m not jealous. I just don’t want to have to comfort you when he drops you faster than a dime.” He said to me and went on his way to the Drakes with Ms. Fire. I sighed softly and yelled at him before he went through the old wooden doors. “You can’t treat me like this!! I am not a little girl anymore! I am my own person! And I don’t need you to comfort me, I don’t need your stupid help!” He turned around with a shocked look on his face and fell down to my platform, kneeling before me and he slowly rose up from the ground, Ms. Fire watching from above.
Tenan walked over to me, well rather rushed towards me and held me tightly patting my back and my head. “I’ve raised you, and taught you everything I know…” he whispered in my ear “… and this is the thanks I get, you run off to join some damn guild with out my consent. Why?” He pushed me away. I tripped on a snail shell and fell on my behind. “I wanted to make my own choice without you yelling at me about how wrong it is…” I said to him
“I don’t yell and your wrong!” he shouted.
“You’re yelling now!” I shouted back.
He walked over and kneeled before me, he and I face to face. He reached his hand back and lunged it forward, the back of his hand smacking my face. “Never talk to me like that you understand me.” He said to me holding his hand, the one that smacked me. “I… understand.” I said to him shedding tears. “Good.” He rose up from the ground and walked over to the rope and started to climb up. He messaged me on my communicator in a private channel (whisper), just him and I. “That hurt me more than it hurt you, I’m still your guardian and I have a right over you. I may not be your father, but I was a father to you. Remember, you never bought anything in your life. I was the one that provided for you.” He said as he sighed over the communicator. “I hate you…” I said to him and hung up.
I’m not a little girl anymore… I hate you…

Ice Covered Road to dreams pt 4
A Dream ~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~~*~~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~~*
It had begun to snow in Kerning City. Aaru ran through the streets of Kerning, in her red calaf, red Napoleon cape, and red flame circlet, in search of Rogue. “Rogue… where… are you?” she panted stopping under a street lamp trying to catch her breath. She was used to the cold weather since she was an Ice-Lighting Wizard. She had fallen upon her knees trying to hold herself from crying. “You said you came back… you said you’d be here… Please don’t let this be a lie… not from you Rogue, not from you.” She brought her hands up to her lips as she shut her eyes to release her tears from her eyes as she closed them.
A dark shadow appeared behind Aaru, hovering over her. She wept silently as the dark figure attempted to touch her on the top of her head but she had opened her eyes to see someone’s shadow over her. Aaru then turned around to see the tall figure’s face covered in darkness. “I would never lie to you… Aaru-chan” The voice said to her as he kneeled before her touching her bare shoulders. Aaru saw the dark figure’s face in the light more clearly to on find that it was Rogue standing over her with a soft smile upon his lips. Her sadness was quickly uplifted as she threw her arms around him, kissing him deeply under the light of street lamp as snow fell on and around them. Rogue had held her back tightly, kissing her lips deeply in return traveling his soft tender kisses from her lips to her cheek moving upward to her ear as he bit it lightly.
“I love you Aaru…” He confessed his true feelings for her as he held her hand lacing his fingers with her.
“Do… you really mean it?” Aaru said in a soft tone.
“Yes… I do. I’ve always loved you, the first day I met you.” He said to her as he held her in his arms tightly, covering their bodies within his black Napoleon cape.
Aaru looked up at him, her eyes glimmered with passion as she tried to hold back more tears. Rogue leant in to kiss her again upon her lips as he slowly laid her down in the snow having himself on top of her. Their eyes meet for a moment, feeling as though time itself stopped in their favor. Rogue had begun to kiss her neck again, moving slowly towards her bare shoulders. Aaru shut her eyes as another tear fell and glided down her the side of her face. She had slowly begun to tremble all over, her lips and cheek becoming a light rosy color.
“Don’t… leave me again… Please.” She said softly, her lips trembling lightly.
“Forgive me for ever leaving you…” He said through his kisses.
“Promise me you’ll never leave me again…”
“Our love… is to cry when we say our good-byes.”
“Please, promise me.” More tears had begun to shed from her eyes.
“Let our love stop time tonight, and create only a world that you and I could only live in.” He whispered to her as he kissed her tears away.
Rogue had taken out a dagger from his pouch. Lightly caressing Aaru’s skin on her neck with the edge. She had opened her eyes to look up at him, to find him shedding tears from his eyes and looking down back at her. He had leaned in once more to kiss her upon her lips deeply as he slowly cut Aaru’s skin with the blade. “Lets live in a world where only you and I can live in… and then we would never have to say good-bye.” He said to her as the blood slowly oozed from the wound on her neck onto her hair and snow. Aaru had began to cry silently as he cried with a soft painful smile.
“I’ll… go with you to anywhere you want to go, just don’t leave me… please don’t throw me away.” She said to him as she cried, wrapping her arms around him tightly once more.
“There is no one to replace you, my love, I will never throw you away.” He said slowly piercing the dagger into her side.
“Ah! Rogue!” She winced in pain as she looked up at him, grabbing him tightly on his back as he winces in pain in return, feeling an open large wound on his back. “It’s…it’s warm and wet…” she said with a slight shocked look on her face.
“I know.” He said as he fell on her, holding her tightly.
”Are… you dying, are you hurt?”
“I’m afraid so.”
“I don’t want to be alone anymore…”
“You… don’t have to be.” He quickly took out the dagger from her side and blood quickly tainted her calaf. He then dropped the dagger unto the snow the blood tainting the perfectly white snow. “I’ll… die with you…” She kissed him deeply whispering her words in his ear. “I… want to be with you… forever.” She said to him.
“I know.” He said in return. He rolled over to her side and held her in his arms, both rapped in his Black Napoleon, hand in hand. The both close their eyes in their embrace.
From the sky, red rose pedals slowly fell as though it was snow, and there was a child between them, alive and well. Reaching his tiny little hands towards the sky. “Our love... is the world that you and I created between you and I… Aaru.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~
I had woken up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night in the Perion Inn. It was still raining. I had thought someone was there to my left watching over me while I slept, and for a moment I had thought I had seen Rogue sitting there watching me. But no one was there. I looked towards the window watching the rainfall, noticing the rose pedals on my balcony and on my bed. I had quickly touched my side to find a small scar. I felt the tears build up in my eyes and I had begun to cry, holding my legs to my chest having a heaving feeling upon my heart. The candle to the right of me, on my nightstand, had completely melted away. I then had reached for my communicator to perform a middle-of-the-night find for Rogue… he was nowhere to be found. It was just a dream… he’s not coming back. I thought to myself as I stood awake for the rest of the night.

Ice Covered Road to Dreams pt 3
Several months went on by since Rogue left. I usually had expected him to pop up around me and shout some random thing, but all that was gone. However, I continued my small maple life with the people around me who I hardly even cared for back then. When Rogue left, it was like a part of me that died that day, I wasn't the same either. I had traveled across Victoria, killing things that were at my level or below. I had trained and put my dedication forth for Rogue.
I sighed softly as I began to grow weary of the fire boar pits, “What’s left of me now?” I climbed onto the ropes and collapsed onto the platform, lying on my back as I watched the clouds float by. “There’s your passion of you becoming an Ice-Lightening Mage.” Someone on the platform above me said. “I have no real passion.” I said to the person above me. “Why is that?” the voice said to me. “None of your business… just leave it at that.” I said to the voice. The owner of the voice jumped from his platform unto my own and stood over me, myself between his legs. He looked directly down at me his arms crossed. “Little girl, I’ll make it my business.”
I looked up at him and sighed softly once more, “Just leave me alone, please.” He stood to one side of me and helped me off the ground. He then held me from behind and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Why are you out of uniform, child?” He asked me kindly. “Please let go of me.” I said to him, trying to remove his arms from my lower torso. He had begun to nuzzle his face unto my neck, kissing my cheek once with his soft lips. “Hush Aaru. Everything will be fine. After all, you need me in this world.” He said in the softest of whispers. I had looked down unto his hands, realizing how beat up they were, as he wore his dark noel. “I… I hope so, Tenan.” I said to him.
Tenan had let one of his hands go and reached into his pouch and had taken out a sack of money, $200,000 to be exact. “Do what you want with it. Consider it as a gift from me to you.” Before I could say anything he slipped the money into my pocket and he held me tightly from behind again. “Why?” I asked him, trying not to choke into sadness. “Why are you doing this?”
He looked at me then looked up at the sky watching the clouds go by. “Look up Aaru.” I did as he asked and looked up at the sky. We had just stood there, without a purpose, without a cause. We had watched the clouds float by for several minutes until he had lowered his head, and nuzzled it upon my shoulder. I had closed my eyes, wishing for it to rain… but the sky was too beautiful to be tainted by the tears of the clouds. “You are precious to me, Aaru.” He whispers softly within my ear, his lips brushing lightly against my skin “Just how precious the clouds are to the sky and to this earth, you are precious to me.” He kissed my cheek again lightly as he continued, “I need you just as much as the earth needs the clouds for the rain. I need you to be strong enough to support me; you are my strength… Aaru Creed.”
His word struck hard as lightening. Several thoughts raced through my mind at that moment, thoughts such as… Is he in love with me? or Do I mean that much to him?… and on and on the questions flowed Why… why me? He had released me from his embracing grasp as I turned around to face him. He caressed my face with his damaged hands and smiled at me. “Do your best.” He said to me. “Why Tenan? Why me?” I asked him, trying not to shed pointless tears over him. He turned around walking towards the ledge of the platform, his back now turned to me. “Because, I found you.” I looked at him with mixed emotions of sadness, hatred, and love in my heart. I gripped my Wizard Wand tightly within my grasp as he jumped from the platform unto the higher platform until he was gone from my sight.
Because I found you… I thought to myself. I had wanted to ask him some more questions. However, he left before I could. I had looked up once more at the sky, seeing the clouds forming together and becoming gray. The day’s temperature had begun to dwindle slowly as the clouds consumed the sun. The first droplet of rain hit me between the eyes, the second on my lips, the third droplet had hit me on my chest, and everything else was beginning to get soak. I looked down below me and saw that the fire boars had all went to their caves and their underground homes.
I had begun to walk back to town, with a small eerie smile on my lips. “It’s nice… to know… that there is someone in this world that cares enough…” before I could finish a flash of lightening streaked across the sky. I looked up to only see Tenan watching over me from his balcony at the Perion Inn. A loud cry of thunder unleashed in the sky, which had startled me. I looked down and gripped my chest tightly, feeling my heart beat extremely fast. I had calmed down a bit and looked up again to only see Tenan gone from where he stood. At that moment I had wondered if I had fallen in love with him…
Because I Found You
.... I was found, but why?
I sighed softly as I began to grow weary of the fire boar pits, “What’s left of me now?” I climbed onto the ropes and collapsed onto the platform, lying on my back as I watched the clouds float by. “There’s your passion of you becoming an Ice-Lightening Mage.” Someone on the platform above me said. “I have no real passion.” I said to the person above me. “Why is that?” the voice said to me. “None of your business… just leave it at that.” I said to the voice.

He looked at me then looked up at the sky watching the clouds go by. “Look up Aaru.” I did as he asked and looked up at the sky. We had just stood there, without a purpose, without a cause. We had watched the clouds float by for several minutes until he had lowered his head, and nuzzled it upon my shoulder. I had closed my eyes, wishing for it to rain… but the sky was too beautiful to be tainted by the tears of the clouds. “You are precious to me, Aaru.” He whispers softly within my ear, his lips brushing lightly against my skin “Just how precious the clouds are to the sky and to this earth, you are precious to me.” He kissed my cheek again lightly as he continued, “I need you just as much as the earth needs the clouds for the rain.

At that moment I had wondered if I had fallen in love with him…
Because I Found You
.... I was found, but why?
Ice Covered Road to Dreams Pt 2
*A long good-bye*
I had taken a small vacation from the forest of Ellinia and it's green mushrooms. I was tired of fighting and I turned off my communicator. I also had taken money from Mr. Wang, who kept my money and supply's in storage, before I had made my trip to go to Florina Beach. I had arrived to Lilth Harbor with my supplies of milk, apples, orange juice, blue huggies, and fruit punch. (White, orange, blue, and red potions with apples.) I paid my 1,500 mesos and set sail to the beach.
When I had arrived, I took off my purple salt shoes and let my feet drown in the sand. I walked for a moment, along side the shore, the waves gently hitting my feet. Seeing monkeys, clangs, and lorangs, and some turtles about. I had ignored them and sat on a platform by myself having an apple in my hand taking a small bite as I took out my Korean fan.
*Flash back*
I had remembered, when Rogue and myself relaxed in the beach sometimes hunting, sometimes relaxing. We had cooked some clang and lorangs and ate some bananas with orange juice or pure water. "Here, Aaru-chan" Rogue reached into his pouch and handed me a refined beautiful emerald. "I remember when you told me that your favorite color was green. So I got my emerald's refined and now I'm giving them to you." I looked at him, the sun setting in the horizon as everything started to become dim around us, and only the fire was left burning as night fell. I took the emerald from his hand unto my own and I placed it into my backpack. "I'm happy..." I said to him, with a slight blush. "You remembered."
"Of course I remember" he smiled at me. I looked at him, and I knew there was more behind that smiled that he wasn't telling me. He turned his focus to the starry night on Florina Beach, twirling a dagger around as he sat on a blanket in his blue robe and sandals and his black bandana. "This... may well be our last night together." I looked at him; for the first time I knew he was serious... he was actually leaving. "I know... I've been missing in acting for a while, coming back weeks at a time, and sometimes I don't even say Hi when you contact me through the communicator. But so many things have been going on, and I can't support everything anymore. As my best friend you would understand, right?"
I sighed softly and looked towards the shore, I myself wearing my red robe sandals and my white bandana. "I understand" as I said that, I had looked at a couple, a male and female turtles walking side by side on the shore heading towards the water. "You'll never forget about me right?" I ask him, a slight crack in my voice as though I was about to cry. "No..." he said to me, looking at me with his comforting smile. "... I'll never forget you." He leant forward and hugged me and I returned his embrace. He then asked me, "Do you remember the first day we met?" I couldn't help but smile because I had remembered that day clearly. "Yes, you saved me from the large orange mushroom."
"Do you remember what I told you after I died trying to save you?" he said to me.
"Yes... I remember,” I said to him, trying to hold back my tears.
"I said to you that I would never let anything hurt you, and I'll protect you always... and we will be friends... forever." with saying that, he rocked me gently in his arms, running his hands through my spikey hair. I had thought at that time "And that's all that we'll ever be." He smiled at me and kissed me on my forehead and said to me "Always smile and never forget who your true friends are... and one day I'll come back. I promise. But chase after your dream, become the best damn ice/lightening wizard anyone in this world (bera) has ever known!" The tears slowly started to fall from my eyes and he wiped them away and told me not to cry. He then stood up and changed into his rogue clothing and offered his hand to me to stand up. I took his hand into my own and stood up, changing into my dark blue jeans, red and yellow stripped shirt, black Korean shoes, black jester, and lightening earrings. We held hands and walked towards the ship and set sail back home... from the harbor, he lean forward to kiss me, and said to me "This may be our last day together, so please don't be sad... I'll come back, I promise. And I'll find you and everything could be alright again." I was so caught up with his kiss, realizing that he and I were never this close before. He smiled as he removed a few strands of hair away from my eyes and asked me if I were to keep the promise. "Yes" I said to him. He turned the other way, grabbing his backpack and left.
*End Flash Back*
Looking off towards the beautiful bright ocean ahead of me, I check my communicator to see if my good friend was on. To my surprise he was. I messaged him privately so that no other person would listen to my conversation. "Hey Rogue! You came back!" I said happily. "Yes" he said to me "But it's only for a while. I want to see you so please hurry." I put on my purple salt shoes and ran towards the boat heading quickly to Lilth Harbor. I had asked him where he was and he responded "I'm in Henesys, I'll be waiting for you near a cab" I rushed to the other cab and headed there and to my surprise he was really there. I ran towards him and held him tightly. He had realized that the emerald he gave me was still on my person.
"I see you kept the Korean Fan I gave you Aaru-chan,” He said to me, starting to walk. I followed him smiling greatly, "Of course I did... Do... you want it back?" I ask him. "No.. I found another one, you could keep that one. Keep it as a memento." I stopped walking and looked at him "A memento?" He stopped, turning around, and looked at me. "I only came back to see you on last time before I quit as a rogue." I had looked at the Korean fan in my hands and I could not help but to frown. He walked towards me and held my face in his hands and looked into my eyes. "I'm giving you a proper farewell.” he said to me. His eyes seem to swell up with tears, and I felt my eyes were about to drown in tears as well. He leant in and kissed me, and I kissed him back.
He looked at me, after our kiss had ended, and said to me. "This is my last good bye. And I don't want you to forget me. I'll never forget you." I nodded, shedding silent tears. "I will never forget you, Rogue, never!" He smiled and patted my head. "You're the same way as I met you... in Maple Island. Passionate and sweet. If I only had met you sooner... some things would have changed." Hearing his words shocked me. I always knew my best friend had a girlfriend but him saying this shocked me to the point I blushed. He said good-bye for the final time and had said to me "I love you, Aaru-chan, I'll never forget you." And he walked off, getting into a cab leaving my sight, forever.
I had stood there, my hand to my lips, shocked, and sadden inside. My communicator went off with shouts of my other friends; I was being called upon one of them. It was an archer saying hello. I didn't mean to be rude at the time but I cut my communicator off as I sat on a nearby bench. Looking at the Korean fan he gave me.
"I love you too, Rogue."

Ice Covered Road to Dreams Pt 1
"My name's Tenan, Don't you forget it." He said to me.... I could never forget a man like him. He came into my life with high hopes of becoming a solo cleric. "Achieving my dream is all that matters at the moment." He said to me. "What is your dream?" I asked him, he said to me. "To become a Solo Cleric." He looked away from me when he said that, turning slightly in the other direction before walking off. "Individual effort will get you far in life... Just don't die because I don't want to have to save you tail again" And with that he walked off, jumping from the dusty, sandy cliff in perion. His ragged cape flapping in the wind, his red moon shoes not making a sound and from there he left my vision of sight.
I smiled as I looked at the apple in my hand saying softly to myself. "Thanks... apples are my favorite." After finishing eating the apple, I had ran towards the edge of the cliff, jumping from platform to platform, landing in front of the dungeon. "WAIT" Before I could go through the portals, I was stopped in my tracks, with a most dumbfounded look on my face. I looked to the left, then to the right. "Who Me?"
"Yes you!" I forgot at that time I had my communicator on.
"What do you want?" I said to him.
"I'm stalking you." he said with a chuckle.
"I seriously don't have time for this..." And right before my eyes he appeared in front of me, tossing me an apple. "I got you something" He reaching in his pouch and tossed me milk (white potions). "Oh thanks so much" I said to him and then he charged me "Give me mesos..." I gave him a dumbfounded look again (F6). "What mesos?" and teleported into the dungeon, running and falling and running some more towards the fire boars.
Reaching towards my destination, I had changed into my red amora outfit and green matty and black korean shoes with my wizard wand and panlid. I had bagged my other outfit in my backpack. I jumped down to where the danger was, the wand enhancing my powers of ice... my hands becoming blue and cold, my fingers becoming ice itself and I smack the fire boar that was charging towards me right between the eyes, the target hit 75. The fire boar looked dead at my eyes, huffing and puffing from it's nose. "I'm... o.O sorry... mister angry... fire ... boar." I ran away from the fire boar and climbed really really fast on a rope climbing to the platform above the angry fire boar jump and squealing at me.
I had took my wizard wand and configured it from Ice to Magic Claw. The person to the left of me, whom I just noticed, laughed at me and killed it for me, taking more of the experience. "Don't play in the big boy's playground." He said to me. "Oh yeah!" I said back. He tossed me 10 mesos and told me to get lost. "Your mom." He stopped, climbed the rope, stood next to me and attempted to kiss me. I paniced and smacked him with the wizard wand and hopped away.
Where I hopped too was in the middled of an angry mosh of fire boars and walking one eyes dark stumps. I sighed and drunk my milk and used magic claw, killing all of them, until that theif came and killed them without my say so. "Why did you do that, you annoying punk!" I yelled at him. "Your sexy... give me a kiss" I was shocked, then out raged. "NO"
"Why not baby?" He came closer...
"Dont' call me that!" I walked back...
"But you have a baby face, and I love those purple eyes." he corned me
"And you have stinky breath." I yanked out a return-to-town scroll and disappeared and appeared above someone... who happen to be sitting on the bench, looking up my skirt. "Nice panties." he said to me.
I fell on my face, of course. I was never use to return-to-town scrolls. I looked up to find Tenan sitting in front of me, with this warrior. She smiled and greeted herself. I smiled back and he fwaped me with a red flowery tub. I fell back down on my bottom, getting sand and dirt on my red amoria outfit. "I told you to stay out of trouble." Tenan said to me. I drunk a small blue huggy (blue potions) and a bottle of orange juice (orange potions). "No you didn't" I said to him. He gave me a STFU I'm talking look (F7) and fwapped me again. "Don't get smart with me."
"Go back to train on mushrooms, your not ready to fight other monsters yet." he said to me, putting on his red guiltian, dusting off his red robe. The warrior stood up after him, weilding a giant sword. She only smiled as if she couldn't talk, or was retarded. He pat her back and started to walk towards the dugeon of drakes. "Can... I come." I asked him. "No... remember, i don't want to have to save your tail." And with that he walked through the portal. I got up from the sand and changed into my dark blue jeans and my red and yellow stripped shirt with blue rubber boots and my black jester. I sat on the bench and sighed. Seeing if anyone was on in my communicator.
It was just the cleric.
