Terraria | MAGE CLASS

Chapter 15 Reward

3rd person's POV

The day after the wounded were treated and finally back to their perfect health, the majesty arranged a ceremony as a way of giving respect and honor to all people who died doing a heroic act of fighting and protecting their homeland. Even with the uncertainty of seeing their family again, they still went and fight with all their heart. That's what earned them a respect from his majestly and became worthy of having their grave planted on the cemetery of heroes.

For those who survived the disastrous event, they were awarded a badge of appreciation for their bravery and a bag of gold coins. People who were seen or reported to have done a spendid job and made a significant contribution to the battle were given a much more higher award/reward and recognition. Those bravest of the rest are Polly, Kim, Darwin, Amber, Gelosia, Justin, Jared, Vren and of course Henry. Not only did he formulate the plan for the upcoming disaster, he also fought along Sven Kingdom's warriors.

Amber, on the other hand, was taken back to suddenly get such rewards and recognition not just by other people but by the majesty as well. She didn't know what to feel about what's happening as it is her first time being on the spotlight. She kind of feels undeserving of the praise as it was the princess who carried her and did most of the work, she was merely shooting her staff in a random location. Since she can't voice out her thoughts to such special ceremony, she was left with no choice but to take everything gladly.

Amidst the crowd of audience for the ceremony, there is Owen clad in a black hoodie. Written across his face was a sign of relief right after seeing his dear friend alive and breathing. Not only Amber is right there completely fine, she also seems to have done something great to earn such rewards from the king.

Owen wanted to immediately went over to where Amber is to apologize for everything he have said. But just when he finally got the courage to talk to his friend, a call for his name stopped him from stepping further and gripped his attention away from the girl.

"Oi, Owen?"

He turned around only to see a familiar face smiling at him. It was none other than Polly, who also just earned himself a recognition from the majesty for his great contribution like Amber.

Nervousness displayed across Amber's face when people looked over her way, realizing that she is one of the bravest of the rest who earned a praise and such reward from Edmund Cromwell himself. The amount of attention that Amber's suddenly getting, it is overwhelming that she's starting to dislike it. She's not an extrovert or a person who don't mind being on spotlight afterall, so everything is a peculiar feeling for her.

"Amber?" Upon being called out, the mage girl turned around to where the voice was coming from.

"Hmm?" What Amber saw was the brown-haired guy she bumped into during the last rainy day.

"So it's you, the Amber girl..."

"Yes..? And... You're that messenger guy, Andrew right?"

"I'm surprised that you still remember my name but saying that I'm just a mere messenger is disrespectful. I'm not just a messenger but also a guide. I know a lot of things you don't know of, in fact, i know a lot of things that I'm starting to think that i might know everything in this world."

"Sure...?" Was the only word that the confused Amber could think of. She was baffled to hear that she was being disrespectful. She can't remember herself belittling his status as a messenger but she didn't give it much of a thoughts and decided to just let it go. "Umm... may i know why you called my name?"

"Ah right. I came here because i was ordered by the majesty to bring him over the girl who accompany his daughter during the disaster." Without warning, Andrew grabbed Amber's wrist and dragged her.

Amber immediately pulled out her wrist from the guy's grip, feeling awkward and uncomfortable knowing a lot of people are watching them right now.

"You don't have to bring me by force, I'll obediently follow." said Amber, slightly nervous of something.

She was nervous for the fact that the majesty himself is asking for her presence. What could possibly a king want from someone as significant as her is what Amber thought. Did she do something wrong?

Then, the image of Gelosia appeared on her mind, the princess who was in a form of a wolf.

Did she told everything I've said to her? If that's the case then does that mean, the reason why i was called for is because of my unintentional insults to the royal family?

That was the only plausible reason and Amber know that she's most likely in a dangerous situation. She must flee instantly and save herself is what her instincts told her but what can she do?

Sven Kingdom is full soldiers in most corners. If she tried anything funny, just one word from the king and she could make a name for herself but as a person who has bounty on her head for disrespecting royal families. That definitely doesn't sound good so she don't have much choice but to be imprisoned in silence without making a scandal of herself.

Amber gritted her teeth while scratching the back of her head in frustration as she follows Andrew. "Is this how it is going to end?" She muttered, eyes on the shadow of the guy in front of her.

Question of the day: What is your favorite terraria mod? If you don't use mod then maybe your favorite difficulty mode? And why?
