I felt the vessel shake a little. I looked out the window, and I started in amazement. I saw old statues and clouds, and a gigantic building. If I read it correct, it said “Guild Hall”. I wonder what it’s for.

The ship landed, and I went to the others’ rooms. I met them, and we headed to the exit. I was excited to see what was in this town.

“ORBIS!” shouted Spade. He was the first to get out from the vessel. He was wearing a t-shirt, with a picture of an orange mushroom on it. He wore short pants, and he was wearing dark shades. He looked like he was going to the beach.

Patrick was wearing his normal overall, the Oriental Fury. It looked good on him, and he liked it well too, so he always wore it.

Susan was wearing a pink blouse and a long skirt, and she was putting on a straw hat. She dressed like it was summertime, but I guess she dressed the correct outfit; the sun blazed brightly at the town of Orbis.

I was wearing a cargo jacket, and ripped jeans. I also put on blue shades. I was wearing a transparent hat that showed my favorite hairstyle. I carried my bow on one hand, and a book on the other. The book is about the basics and advanced fighting techniques of Rangers. I always read that.

We left the station, and I went to ask for directions. Most of the citizens I saw were fairies; big ones, little ones, tall ones, short ones, you get the picture. It was a cheerful place; a lot of talking, but not very chaotic. I liked this place already.

I went into a potion store and asked the owner fairy where Spiruna is. She told me she wasn’t really sure with the exact location, but she told me to look in the Cloud Parks. I thanked her, and left the shop. I told everyone where to go, and we all headed towards the Cloud Parks.

~~~

After several minutes, we found an old house in the middle of the park.
“Do you think this is the place?” asked Susan.
“Probably,” I replied. I hoped, to be exact. I didn’t want to walk around more and lose my energy; we could get caught into a battle anytime, anywhere.
“Let’s go in,” Patrick suggested.
We all went in together. The room was dark, but there were flambeaux on the wall, which created very little light. I could hardly see who or what was inside this old structure. Suddenly, I heard a voice come from the other end of the room.
“Who are you all and why are you here? You are interrupting my meditation.”
The voice was aged and weary. I replied in a calm tone.
“We are four travelers from Victoria Island. A man named Kaen told us to come here, and receive training from one named Spiruna.”
“Kaen?” she said. “Him? You must be kidding. How do I know you’re not telling the truth?”
I hesitated. I looked back at my friends. No one had a proof, no ideas either. I finally started, irritated because of the waiting. “Listen. We traveled from Victoria Island to get lessons from you, and you still do not want us to be your students? Kaen told us to come, and I did come. I want to be stronger; stronger than King Ergoth, stronger than Kaen, strong enough to fulfill my dreams. Now, will you help us or not?”
Silence. The voice wasn’t heard, and I wasn’t speaking anymore. I waited for a reply. Finally, I heard the voice again.
“Very well, I believe you. No one has spoken like that to me for a long time.” The voice got nearer, and finally, the person was visible. She was an old lady, wearing a purple cloak, and her face covered by the hood.
“My name is Spiruna, and I will be your teacher. You will address me as “Master”, is that clear?”

“Alright, listen up; you four will be trained immediately. But before we start, I should give you a little biography about Almas. They have special abilities some can use, and some can not. It all varies with different Almas. You following?

“One type of ability Almas can do is to transform. They can change into an innocent citizen perhaps, your parents, your friends, anyone; even animals or monsters. They can also turn into anything; immovable objects et cetera. Be cautious about who or what you’re fighting; you never know if he or she is good or bad, real or Alma.

“Another type of ability is creating illusions. They can produce images of previous wars, past content events, your own fear, your loved ones, and more. They will try to approach you cautiously; they aren’t aggressive, but they are very careful and they calculate before they strike. It’s the “think before you act” junk they do to you, got it? You too, should think before you act. Try seeing if the illusion and background doesn’t fit, or it’s impossible. Also use common sense.

“You have to be careful with the tank Almas. They possess enormous physical strength. They can bend metal like a toothpick. Just stay far from them, and you’ll be alright.

“The Almas you need not caution is the weaklings. I made that name up. They are weak, pretty self-explanatory. They have absolutely no abilities at all, and they are classified as the weakest Almas.

“Like I said, some Almas have abilities, some do not. The ones I mentioned are the common ones, and there are a lot more abilities they can do. Hopefully, you won’t encounter them.”

“I will create four doors, each leading you to one of your training rooms. You will defeat the undead inside the door. Enough said.”
“Wow that was a long, but very good.” I looked back, and I saw Spade sleeping. “I wonder if he’ll be okay…”

I picked the door far to the left. From left to right, it was me, Patrick, Susan, and then Spade. As I opened the door, I heard Spiruna’s unpleasant laugh. I wonder if this training was going pay off, or even work…

Chapter 1! Sorry if it was a little boring. The next chapter will have some action, lol. How do you like my story so far? Is it good? Keep criticizing/correcting/posting opinions please!

I started leveling my Ranger again! Currently level 93 at 27%, I still aim for my level 100. Few breaks, but I could probably make it at the end of summer. I hope I can.

I don’t play much FlyFF anymore, but I’m looking forward to party training with James. He created this Billposter-to-be, and he’s really strong! He does more than 1000 damage to multiple enemies, and he can even buff! How cool is that?

I installed Trickster Online on Friday. I played the Beta version before; it was fun. I’m having some technical difficulties in the one I installed on Friday, though. Every time I go into a map, I disconnect. Does anyone know the cause of this? If so, please help me.

Well, that’s all for today folks. Happy blogging!
