“Errr.. hello.. Luke? You haven’t answered my question yet… Do you love me or not?”
That woke me up from my “dream” and I was immobolized. What should I answer with? What can I say? Those were the questions that were in my mind at that time.
Me: Err…
Kristine: What is your answer… Please… I really like you…
Me: Sasuki…
Kristine:Who’s Sasuki?!?!?!
Me(softly): My …
Kristine(angrily): Is she your girlfriend?!
Me:… That… Is really hard… to explain…
Kristine(angrily): Is she much better that me?! Tell me!!

*Silence*

Kristine(staring,angrily): I am definitely better than her.. My parents are very rich and she can’t beat that…
Me(softly): I don’t really care about money now…
Kristine: What is it that you care now?!! Beauty??
Me: I can’t explain that… So easily-

Suddenly, The tent started to shake vigorously. ” Ahh!! What’s happening!!!” Shouted Kristine as she skiddled around. I was falling towards the ground. I flash jumped towards Kristine and helped her up. The shaking lasted for 2 more minutes and the final shake had a big impact and Kristine fell on me. ” What the..” I said when she collasped onto me.

Me: Ow…
Kristine: Opps!! I’m sorry!!

She got off slowly and I felt pin and needles on my chest. I was not fully healed yet and it started to hurt a lot again. Jetlin and Mike burst into the tent right at that moment.

Jetlin: What the hell was that?!
Mike: Beats me…
Jetlin(noticing me on the ground): What the hell was happening inside here before that quake anyway!?
Me: Well…
Kristine: Nothing much, just a conversation.
Mike(laughing): By the looks of it, it was quite a rough one.. Hahaaaaa…

I glared at Mike angrily while I tried to stand up. Than, Balrog suddenly came through the tent.

Balrog: Everyone okay?!
Mike: Yep.
Me: Sure…
Balrog: There has to be an explanation for that earthquake. Go to Elinia and find Grendel The Really Old to find out whats happening. Go now!
Kristine: kay!
Mike: Sure.

We walked towards Elinia and inspected the land damage on the way. The damage was almost unfixable. When we reached Elinia, we walked all the way to the top and went in the house. When we went in, Grendel The Really Old was on the top looking very worried.

Mike: Err… Grendel? What’s with that earthquake just now?
Grendel: Im fearing the worse. Zakum must have been awakened again. By the way, any of your name starts with L,M,J and K?
Me: Yep. Our names all start with the letter you mentioned. Thats Kristine, Jetlin, Mike and me, Luke.
Grendel: OMG. You 4 are the legendary 4 Players that are chosen to defeat Zakum. Only you 4 can hold the legendary 3 weapons, Maple Kandayo, Maple Impaler and the Maple Lama Staff. These 3 weapons are the only weapons that can defeat Zakum, or in other words, Inflict damage on Zakum. Millions of people have tried to weild it but nobody managed to lift it before. But you 4 definitely can lift it!!
Mike: This is crazy, ain’t it?
Kristine(standing beside me): Yep..

We walked towards the 4 weapons laid on the table. I took the Maple Kandayo up with ease. So did the rest of them.

Grendel: Zakum has 8 arms and one body. This 9 parts are the 9 islands of Maplestory. Lith harbour, Elinia, Henesys, Kerning city, Perion, Sleepywood, Orbis, El Nath and last but not least, Lubidrum. This means that everytime Zakum shakes it’s hands or body, an earthquake might happen at any of these 9 places.

Me: Where is this Zakum located at?
Grendel: It is located under an island called cold shark island. It is located at the course of the Ship to Orbis. The ship sank about 3 days ago. That was the place it sank on. The cold shark Island is just there.
Me(thoughts): OMG?? ISN’T THAT THE PLACE WHERE SASUKI IS AT? IF I CAN JUST GET THERE!!
Me: How do we get to that island?!
Grendel: You must kill Zakum first, once it is killed, a passageway will come out and you just head into it and you will appear at Cold Shark island.
Me(thoughts): So if I kill Zakum, I can rescue Sasuki!! Yes!!!
Mike(rolling his eyes): Unbelievable -_-
Me: We’ll do it.
Grendel: Well be on your way to Orbis and head to El Nath. Go to the end of the lava cave and that is where Zakum is located at. Good luck on your journey.
Me(thoughts): Sasuki, here I come!
