So please fix everything so I can get back to playing! <3

Also; ALL the events we have! Gosh Nexon, can't we catch a break? Even if its just for a few weeks? xD

"I am Morrighan; one of three Goddesses you will encounter. Many will speak of false things about me." She concluded her chat with me with a blessing. "With this I hope you will still give Tarlach the help he needs." With a curt bow, Morrighan vanished within a curtain of light as her voice echoed in sweet whispers till everything went back to normal. Tarlach seemed worried though he didn't exactly express that. "You will need to head to Dunbarton which is the true beginning of your journey so please, please be careful as I cannot help you at this time for I cannot leave this place just yet." I didn't quite hear most of what he was saying but that last part rung in my head. Am I ready to leave Tir already? Only way to find out is to gather my things, ask my friends, and head off to the start of my long journey ahead.

So yes do expect another chapter somewhat soon, I swear!

My first few weeks after having began my journey, it felt as if I wasn't going to be able to fight against these Fomors because I kept on getting hurt all the time. I had no idea how I was supposed to become this amazing Mage if I couldn't even manage against petty animals such as wolves or foxes. Those animals are fairly strong and I end up on the ground before I get the chance. My friends Rintoko and Drych helped me a lot especially when I got upset that I wasn't helpful in our trio. I know knew about Bolt magic and while it was fun to charge up either Ice, Fire or Lightning, I wasn't keeping up with my enemies. I had a dizzy spell one day and was reminded of something I had forgotten. I had already made friends with someone. She had told me about coming here and if I ever needed help, I could always ask her. Her name is Chemarose. Apparently she was somewhere else but traveled anywhere without much problems. She also traveled with her boyfriend who happened to be a Mage just like me. His name is Bamdead. The two of them helped me as well as my two friends I had made. Since he was also similar to me, he gave me lots of tips and gave me some wands too. I also remembered that I had two whistles from Nao so I walked away from the wolves so they wouldn't attack me and sat down under a tree, searched my backpack until I found the two silver whistles. I got curious again so I blew on one of them and no sound came out. Was Nao tricking me?! It took a few seconds and when I started to stand back up I saw an eagle swooping down at me till it landed gently upon the grassland. Apparently it had a little note on its ankle so I reached over and took it off. "Hello master! I am your loyal pet eagle since you have called me to your aid. Why don't you give me a name and I will always come when you need me." Huh, this was rather cool. I stared at my pet for the longest time and it occasionally walked around me. "You shall be known as Windstorm01." Windstorm cawed at me and nuzzled my cheek in a friendly manner to probably tell me she loved her name. I also blew on the other whistle but nothing happened so I asked Windstorm to return and she did. I tried again and within a few seconds, a beautiful horse galloped to me, neighing. It too had a note so I took it off and read it. I thought about a name. "You shall be known as Quincy01." My horse neighed happily and nuzzled me. She was so small just like my eagle but I loved them both. I now have pets to help me along on my journey. Tir was a fun place to explore but I thought about where could I buy more supplies for the longer trips I would take. I took my time heading back into the square enjoying the amazing sights and sounds. I asked a couple of the townsfolk as to where I can buy things such as bandages, food, other assortments of weapons if needed. One of the ladies told me to visit Dilys, the town's Healer. I thanked her and went passed the Big Tree and I believe I saw more foxes. Great. More animals to deal with. Whatever. I just have to get past them and her house should be a bit further from where they are. I held onto my wand and made my way through the group of foxes and some I defeated that got in my way. This time I didn't get hurt as much. Hooray. I did a good job. Anyways as I kept walking, I saw someone standing on the road, wearing black knight armor. He seemed to be watching over the area so I felt more secure. I didn't see his face though. I looked at a small wooden, worn down sign that stated the house before me was in fact Dilys's. I knocked on the door and when I had permission to walk in, I did. The little cottage felt cozy and very welcoming. "Hello! Welcome, if you need anything feel free to ask me questions or if your pets are injured, I will gladly heal them for you." Dilys was so kind to me that I did ask her some questions but for the most part she didn't know how to respond to what I had asked which was fine. I also bought several stacks of bandages and potions, especially Mana Potions. I would surely need these. I tucked my items away snuggly into my backpack, bowed a goodbye and left the Healer's house. There were several quests to get done so I randomly chose one. Apparently this one stated it was a Goddess Quest. Okay... The first part mentioned I needed to talk to someone by the name of Tarlach. Lovely, how was I supposed to find him? I kept reading and it obviously told me where to go. I read the name of the location and it was beyond the Healer's house I had visited before. That wasn't too much trouble. I summoned Quincy, my horse, hopped on and we galloped passed Dilys's. The guy in black armor waved goodbye as we past, by then we slowed down into a trot as we got to a gate. I got down from my horse and took the reigns into my left hand as I guided her and myself through the mystic gate. It was a matter of seconds that we had safely crossed into the new area-- it was snowing! Gosh! Apparently the place I was in is named Sidhe Sneachta. It was so pretty and I took time to gawk at everything as it was just too much to pass up, besides; I had to wait until nightfall in order to meet up with Tarlach. Quincy whinned at me and I petted her to keep her calm as I got back on. We simply trotted along the snowy path while I read my scroll again. There was rows of snowmen and a sign saying I needed to find something. I think it was an earring. Anyway, we continued onward and I started shivering so while Quincy trotted, I searched my backpack for my robe and put it on. That was much better. I was silly enough to think that without wearing a robe, I would get far. We came across yet another mystic gate so I got down, guided her through and continued on again. Anytime I tried to look up, flurries of snow would gently brush against my face. It was also fairly quiet but I enjoyed the calmness. Eventually we made it and just as we neared him, Quincy got scared and I nearly fell off! "What's the matter, girl?!" She whinnied and from what I could gather, up ahead was something potentially dangerous. We decided to slowly head to the end of the pathway since that's all the map showed me. We finally made it and from what I could make out from the constant snow, there was a big shape and it seemed to have glowing eyes. I bite my lip as I made Quincy continue on even though I was scared too. I got down for the final time and told her to leave, which she did. I held onto my hood while I made my way towards the glowing eyes. Anything could happen and I was ready to defend myself when... When it suddenly stood up as the night became full and in a flash, a new figure stood in its place! "W-what the..." I couldn't understand what happened just now but from the looks of it, a young boy stood where the previous shape was. "Are...you... by any chance... Tarlach?" He didn't seem to acknowledge me at the time as I approached him since he seemed to be focused on something else. He had medium length hair, colored blonde, slightly ruffled and wore a long tanned robe that covered his body which was accompanied by a pair of squared spectacles. He didn't seem that much older than I was and to be honest, he appeared to be quite serious... I asked again if he was Tarlach but I was interrupted. "My name is Tarlach, yes. Why have you come here? Are you the one who can help me find my friends?" His blue eyes were fixated upon me with an arched brow. He seemed to be studying me over as I scrambled to come up with something to say. "I, uh, sure?" I laughed nervously while coughing due to realizing it was snowing and my body was getting heavier by the minute. "I desperately need help in finding Ruairi and Mari as I want to apologize for leaving them behind..." His form was stiff and unwavering from the chilly weather. He didn't know my name but knew who I was. A person who could potentially find his two best friends and I felt that I didn't want to let him down so I agreed to help him out even though he wanted to reward me for accepting such a task. Tarlach described Ruairi and Mari for me and I listened intently. His words sounded very lonely and I wouldn't blame him. "Tarlach, can I ask you as to what happened that lead to your separation?" He shifted his posture, crossing his arms as he thought as to how things went. "We were trying to prevent something and thought we were able to handle it on our own. It was evident that we failed miserably, thus having the goddesses separating us. We thought we reached Tir Na Nog but alas that wasn't true..." He rubbed his templed with a heavy sigh while I tried to gather all of what he was saying but there was plenty that was missing. "I want you to find Tir Na Nog, stop the Fomors from causing another deadly war, and of course find my friends to tell them I'm sorry." "How can I even FIND this place? It sounds like a place that isn't found around here. The Fomors? Nao told me about them but never explained what they are or what their intentions are." I quirked a brow as I slowly placed to and fro while Tarlach simple stared at me. "I wont let you down, Tarlach! I will do my best to find Ruairi and Mari AND stop a war even if it costs me my life."

Over the course of the class I had gotten several injuries due to my lack of focus though my practice dummies were actually ALIVE! In the end, Tin congratulated me and told me to return to Duncan since he had taught me everything he knew. I wonder if Rin was real or were they just messing with me but whatever, I got it done and that's all I wanted. I received some money apparently (which was nice, mind you) by my owl (I say mine since it keeps coming to me every so often). I tucked it into my bag for safe keeping. I didn't feel like doing much so while I walked around I happened to see somebody chatting with their friend and I merely kept my distance. I don't know what it is about those two but knowing me I wasn't going to make friends just by staying away from people. For all I know they can be... What was it? Milletians? Yeah. They could be just like me so I edged my way over to them casually but kept to myself. One of them seemed to be around my age or possibly older but I could hardly tell. I don't know what they were talking about and I didn't want to intrude. The other person was also roughly the same age and from what I saw, they were carrying instruments along with their own backpacks. With a sigh I retreated from those two and minded my own business despite all the hustle and bustle that was going on around me. What if they weren't nice? What if they don't want to become my friend? Yeah, I thought about that... Eventually after biting my tongue enough I got the courage to head back to those two people I saw and simply said hello. "Hi there!" They said with a genuine smile. That was surprising. "Uh, hi. I'm... new around here. I uh..." Oh my gosh, come on Quill! Just try to make a conversation. "What are you two supposed to be? I see you're carrying instruments and swords." The two guys stared at each other then looked at me. One of them replied. "I decided to become an Adventurer and my friend here is a Bard. By the way, my name is Rintoko and this guy here is named Drych." Rintoko and Drych, huh? Those were the names of two people who I would most likely travel Erinn With. "Nice to meet you both. I'm Quill01." And that's how I formed a friendship. At least that's how I vaguely remember it, haha.

There is this voice that calls out to me but I cannot locate the source as I wandered aimlessly. The voice itself had a beautiful tone as it continued to find me. I questioned myself as to what will happen to me when I was suddenly summoned to this desolate dreamscape realm that I had not ever been to. As I tried to take in its surroundings - which wasn't much - I simply headed toward this shadowy figure, unsure of how to react. What reason was I called here? What will I benefit from it if I end up someplace that isn't home? The figure was blurred until I was merely a few feet away and to my astonishment it was a beautiful young woman - that I was sure of. She wore a long black dress that suited her delicate frame. Her long locks of hair was tied in two neat ponytails that rested neatly on her. "Hello there, did I startle you by calling out to you?" I jumped back in shock and fear not believing in what was going on. She just spoke to me without worry I wasn't going to harm her as she simply smiled at me. "I sincerely apologize for the sudden summoning but..." The woman frowned and gazed above as did I and blinked in confusion. How did I not notice the thousands of owls? I suppose they were known for keeping silent while in flight. "I need your help. My home that I so dearly love is in the midst of never-ending war with the rise of Fomors and I understand that isn't something I can force you to do..." Fomors? Who is that? I asked myself so many questions as she continued on. "Oh! I am so rude. My name is Nao. I oversee the Milletians that pass over into Erinn. I call them here and guide them through a transformation. I let them decide what they wish to do while they reside there before, though." She was floating, momentarily, planting her feet upon the white floor to present to me several items. "I am aware that you have many questions and I will surely answer them in due time. These items before you are what you can choose from or if destiny calls it, the item will glow intensely which is a sign that you are meant to pick it. Take as long as you want, I am in no hurry." As I walked around the items I picked up a bow and arrow to see if that was to my chosen item though it wasn't glowing and I ended up hurting myself somehow so I set it back down. There was a pair of knuckles so I grabbed those and put them on - nothing happened and I kept trying other items but got injured. I frowned at Nao but she reassured me I should keep looking. It took me what seemed like an eternity as there was just so much to look at when I stopped in front of a mystic wand that started to glow faintly. I hesitated to take it into my hands though deep down I felt that this is my destiny... I was right, I took hold of the wand firmly and I began to feel an immense power within me! I had never experienced such but this was it. This power belonged to me and I was sure I can take on the challenges ahead. Nao smiled more and nodded her head silently. She went to my side as the other items vanished. "Congratulations, Milletian. Your destiny is within the talent of Magic. Quite powerful I admit. Your ancestors will be proud of you to have this weapon choose you. Take care of this and soon you will obtain more as you travel Erinn fulfilling my wish and yours as well." Nao floated again as she seemed to be thinking of what she needed to tell me. I was about to leave when I realized that I had no means of transport to get to this Erinn place nor did I know which way that was. I shook my head when Nao remembered something. "Ah, I almost forgot the most important items for you. Here, take these whistles with you. I am sure you realized that you have no way to get to Erinn and I am here to get you there. Before I send you there, what will you want others to call you by?" Huh, I didn't think of that. I was about to embark on this journey without a name for myself! That was clever... "My name? Well, I want to be known as Quill01." I said with a bit of pride. I stared down at the two whistles I received from Nao, wondering what would happened if I used it. "Once you land in a small village named Tir Chonaill, seek out an elderly man named Duncan. He is the Chief of Tir Chonaill and is always glad to meet new Milletians such as yourself. He will help you get started on becoming a Mage there along with an instructor who goes by Tin." Nao seemed pleased by having chosen me and appeared to be getting ready for something. "You shall now be sent to Erinn from the Soul Stream, which is where you are, and I hope we will see each other again. When we do I will always recognize you no matter the appearance. I wish you good luck and have a wonderful time!" With that, she suddenly lifted her arms up and I also began to float as we both went our own ways. Nao vanished and I was sent off in such a way that I didn't expect. My adventures just started and I'm not sure what I can do to prevent this war Nao mentioned...
