As I walked down pebbled stairs, the smell of Ronfaure trees filled my nose sense. Mmmm, so fresh, I thought. I could see rabbits and worms inhabiting the beautiful fields of grass. The tall Ronfaure trees provide plenty of shade and block the sun's warm rays creating a somewhat dark environment. I wouldn't let my kids wander off alone here. Oh no. Xiana said beastmen roam the area, and that's just what I wanted to get a glimpse of. I wandered in deeper and the mountains surrounded me, making me realize that I better pay attention or I could get lost. "What do we have here?" a voice from behind me whispered into my ear.
I turned and couldn't see any-person or thing..Then I heard the familiar sound of metal sliding out. Quickly I darted away from the trees, down a hill towards an open field with sheep. And I saw it. 'Slash!' And my instincts pushed me away from getting a deep cut on my leg. The minor scratch still burned like hell as the wind began to push on it. A goblin! "I'm gonna slice yer entire body and make you suffer like a tied up bugard," it said.
I heard so many stories of them as a child, and as creepy as the stories were, I would always beg for more..here was one in bone and flesh...and BLOOD. I don't know how I did it, but I was able to cast Stone. Earth and stones rained upon it, casuing some damage. Before it knew what had happened, I took a swing with my ash staff...but it still remained as powerful as before. "Hahahaha yer spell's as weak as your looks, puny hume," it taunted. My swings were dodged and as heavy as the ash staff was, I kept a tight grip and kept swinging with my life! I couldn't make it- I thought. I was dangerously tired out and still it laughed as if it had never been in danger. I ran! My last resort..I felt so ashamed but I couldn't die yet. I kept running, didn't know where to, for all I knew, I could've been running into a dead end. My god, more goblins straight ahead. This is it, I thought. I was a goner for sure. I tried getting past without them noticing but the dumbass Goblin behind me was so loud. They saw me... began cheering and laughing so loud and ran right for me. Fuck. I fell...my leg had been bleeding and finally caused me to collapse on the ground..."Make it squeal! Hahahaha. Take hume miserable life away," one of the Goblins encouraged the other....I waited...for death.. |

Southern Sandy was overpopulated. The auction house was packed with so many adventurers. Not to mention I saw a couple of entertainers. There were a couple of stores towards the northwest side and a rabbit hide vendor near a West Ronfaure exit. Hmm..he seemed to be doing good. He even offered me gil for rabbit hides but I told him I had none. I never realized how beautiful elvaan females were. They tended to be more mature than the mirthra or the bitchy hume females and definitely more mature than the tarutaru females.
I couldn't help myself but stare at their beauty. I never felt so short in my life or thin as I managed to really get a good concentrated glimpse on a galka. God he was so massive. How does this nation get along so great? There's so many different races. "Gil, can I have it? Will dance for gil," a tarutaru shouted. "Silence, Can I have it, please, my ears are bleeding from your shouts," someone in the crowd shouted. And then a huge fight began. I guess they don't get along afterall. I checked out this tarutaru F's gear..."Hey fucker, I hate it when people check me out, please ask me next time before you check me out!," she yelled. I was lost and confused. I wasn't even looking at her the wrong way. I just noticed she was wearing a cool cape and wanted a better look at it. It was nonsense but I guess these people really love their privacy. I decided to just wander along and proceeded to finally exit to West Ronfaure but right before..."Signet young lad?" "Umm sure," I said "What's it for?" "It keeps track of your kills as well as rewards you with beastmen seals and crystals every now and then. It's an incentive for fighting for San o'driah. I can't be too specific, it's your job to know what I'm talking about." Finally I could exit the gates and explore West Ronfaure. |

| I headed out. Let me tell you, Port Sandy is full of life. There's crafting everywhere but mostly near the auction house. I visited the auction house because I needed some new threads. Didn't get anything at all, it's so expensive and I barely have enough to eat. Everyone else is quiet minding their own business or rushing. I saw a couple of people that look like the richest and well respected people in Vanadiel. As I walked around the Port, I noticed that not many people made eye contact. I think in the back of my head I wanted to get noticed. I mean, I'm a complete stranger and no one seems to realize that. I must've been lost for a good 2 hours before reaching Northern Sandy. Now Northern Sandy was more beautiful. The carpenter's guild and the Blacksmith's guild was right along the street of Laborman's way and the watchtower caught my eye. I headed inside and was amazed at how beautiful the Ronfaure view was. And OMG I saw my first glimpse of the infamous Ronfaure sheep. I think it was chasing a Taru Taru male around but I'm not so sure. We didn't see many tarutaru back at home. I think at first I thought they were little fat hume kids...but they're not. After a while, the sheep was joined by another and another and another and all proceeded to gang up on the poor little tarutaru. I yelled for someone to help him but people looked at me like I was crazy. Then all of a sudden. I saw the most amazing thing in the world. A bolt of thunder hit each of the sheep instantly killing them all....Wow! And to my surprise...the tarutaru was responsible for it. Not to mention he got away without a scratch.....I want to do that too! If only I knew how to! I wonder if I can do it with my Stone scroll? I mean, he was pretty small and looked weak...maybe I can do more damage to these puny sheep? I tried yelling out to the taru but the glass on the windows was too thick. So I walked out of the tower and decided to browse around some more trying to find an exit to the Ronfaure wilds. I walked right into Ranperre Gate by accident but realized it was the Ronfaure exit I was looking for....and then Parade Ground caught my attention. I think it'd be wise of me to get to know Sandy afterall. I bumped into a beautiful mirthra girl. She was carrying a couple of pots and vases. I asked, "Would you like some help, Miss...." "Xiana, yes thank you," she said, "I'm heading to Justi's furniture, it's just straight ahead. I bought these off of an Elvaan man for cheap in Southern Sandy. I'm just trying to make a few extra gil for my armor and all. What's your name?" What a friendly person. I helped her and she told me a couple of gil making secrets. And the nicest thing ever happened to me, she handed to me an ASH STAFF +1. She told me I needed it more than she did. I loved it so much. It was beautiful. I felt slightly powerful holding it. But I couldn't just take it. She refused to take any of my gil and said she insists I take it as a gift for kindness. This girl was amazing, right after trading in her junk she voluntarily walked me around showing me the Cathedral and the Chateau d'Oraguille. "I like to help people. I love curing the weak, always have. I'm a white mage. I'm working towards getting the ability to raise. It's a much needed spell. Helps out a lot when the Orcs and Goblins decide to kill adventurers gathered outside these gates. I'm only level 7 and judging by your confusion and lack of weapons and armor, I'm guessing you're level 1?," she asked. "Yes, I think. I want to be a Black..." "I know," she interrupted. "Use it, I wondered why you were still carrying your Stone scroll around. Once you use it, it vanishes and it grants you a magic spell. There's plenty of scrolls around but you can only use some at different levels. To gain levels you have to train and gain experience. You can only do that by participating in the slaughtering of Beastmen who wander the wilds to cause harm to adventurers like you and me. Some animals will not bother you unless you hurt them. But we must sometimes kill animals for food, and supplies. They will help each other out so be careful and don't get too greedy. There's word of groups that like to Farm 24/7, taking turns to stay on the lookout for rare beautiful creatures that happen to stumble upon these areas, only to kill for the meaning of profit. I believe in death and ressurection..and you'll understand what I mean, take your time and don't forget to help others, as you might run into them sometime in the future." She walked me to Southern Sandy and said she had to go rest. She had a busy day I guess. She casted a Protect Spell on me and wished me luck. I will never forget her. |

Seedless. My parents never got a chance to name me. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember how I received my name. Did I mention I've never met my parents? I can't. I've been told they were captured by beastmen...and burned alive. But I can't think about that right now. I'm in a new place, getting comfortable in my mog home, it's so empty though. Empty as my life has been. But I'm so excited! I'm in San d'Oriah! What am I doing here? I'm here to make the most out of my life. I'm tired of being a loner and wandering from place to place alone. I'm tired of a boring life. I'm tired of begging for food, and water. I want my own mog home. I want adventure. I want excitement..I want to find my purpose in vanadiel...but most of all...I want to find somebody to share my life with. I've never had much people to talk to except the occasional older single women who opened their doors for me to keep me away from the snow and rain. This is why I record everything in my journal. Besides, I have to. Sandy is so huge, I figure if I draw my maps in here, I will never get lost. And I want to be able to read back someday and smile at the thought of me taking charge and pushing my fears out of the way to pursue change.
I'm currently renting a mog home in Port Sandy, it's cheaper than the North or Southern Side. It's not that bad. I stole gil from an innocent person in the streets back at "HOME." I came up with the idea to trick somebody into thinking I was a street casino. I'm so fucking crazy...but I love myself for it....because if I wouldn't have done it...I would've never had the opportunity I have now. So I ran...and flee'd here. It was dangerous making my way here...but I did it. I have enough gil to cover a month's rent and a week supply of food if I stick to the simple stuff.
I have decided that I will participate in the War with the Beastmen. Picture me with a Black Mage job....an 18 year old with a Black Mage job...Now that can't be me....but it's been decided...I'm making decisions! Forgive me....for I want to explore this great nation before I set out into the wilds. Wish me luck |
