I logged in at Darken. It seemed that I had just repaired my weapon when I logged out.

I was greeted with the usual spam. Winter was even on. MetallicaOwnz also had a contribution party going, so the odds were looking great on leveling today.

… Boy, was I wrong.

Let’s back up a little bit, though.

I turned in my quest items, giving me around sixty-three percent. Good, I was on the right path.

Winter asked me politely to come train with him.

Winterhawk>> COME HERE NOW BISH
Lamvao>> 😀

I flew to Sylicas and changed servers to join the party. I wasn’t too happy about training at Sylicas. They were water. I had a fire element on my yo yo. Not only that, they had a lot of hit points and a hefty attack rate.

Yet, experience is experience.

Two deaths and six experience in all later, I need something different. I had attempted Nautrepies before, yet horribly failed.

Though, by now, I’m up for anything.

As I started to fly out of the shallow ponds, Winterhawk suddenly logs out. Well, there goes my experience bonus.

Yet, my question remains. Can I train elsewhere?

I arrive at Nautrepies with a hint of optimism. These were air element, so I had an advantage. I tried smalls, then regulars, and finally captains. It seemed that captains were too hard. Far too much health. Normals, however, were perfect.

I stayed there a while. Not really keeping track of my experience bar, yet just training for the knowledge that I was getting closer to my goal.

Yet, soon, the pain was too great. The aspirin I had taken before to manage my pain in the real world wasn’t working. I had to log off.

I had a sense of accomplishment. I would level tomorrow… I hope.
