New Life Online: Rise of a new Empire

Chapter three: Sealing the guild

*Log In? Yes*

Several weeks have passed. I have been monster hunting and crafting like crazy. My guild hall has been cleared, and all decorations have been placed. I have been living here for quite a while. All I can say is, this is actually starting to look like a guild.

My guild hall is exactly as I imagined it. A red carpet covers the marble floors and torches light up the room as they hang besides huge white columns. In the center, there is a Huge throne. Similar versions of it are scattered forming a half moon formation. A total of eleven throne replicas were made. Ten were for the guilds strongest players, the guardians. The big one was for me, the judge.

The guardians are my guild's equivalent to the 13 gods. Now comes the hard part, which is finding the guardians. For that, I must leave my guild, and go get the guardians myself.

Amethyst: Rake are you sure about this?

Rake: Yes. If I don't find them then who will?

Amadeus: Good point. Lets get moving.

Rake: I have been waiting for ever to try out the security system.

*turns the switch on*

Chains appeared from out of nowhere blocking all entrances to the guild. Then rake begins to charge a spell.

Rake: Amethyst lend me your power. Holy mirage!

A huge light was cast upon the guild until it disappeared. It was as if the guild was never there.

Rake: Perfect, that should be enough.

Amadeus: Well then, where do we start?

Rake: We go to where our journey started, green leaf village.

Amethyst: Going to pay a visit to old Handy?

Rake: Yeah, he was the one who taught me how to craft in the first place. Ready for the combo?

Amadeus: Bring it on boy!

Amethyst: Lets do this!

Rake : Ok! Ready or not, here I come! Chain Slingshot!

Rake was shot upwards by two chains, and began to soar through the skies as he began to charge another spell.

Rake: Time to go faster,
Holy Impulse!!

A bright light surrounded Rake's legs, propelling him throughout the skies until he reached green leaf village. As soon as he landed, he went to search for handy.

*knock* *knock*

Handy: Do I know you?

Rake: It's me! Rake!

*Bam* the door slammed open

Handy: Well well well. If it isn't the little collector. What brings you back?

Rake: I just wanted to see how you were doing.

*smiles*

Handy: Look "Treasure hunter" we both know that isn't true. Now tell me why you are here, or I'm gonna get you kicked out of my village. Understood?

Rake: Ok ok. Just keep your voice down. Let me get you a drink.

Handy is one tough man. His fighting masteries are decent, but his crafting skills are top notch. He is still mad because of a stunt Mercer tried to pull off... He sure likes to get into trouble.

Handy: Oh wow, this brings back the memories. I still remember your friend blasting holes into my bottles. Now tell me, why did you come back?

Rake: I'm creating my own guild and need recruits. I'm looking for promising beginners. Have you seen any?

Handy: Im sorry man, I have not seen any. NLO has changed. Ever since the tournament all Newbies just fill their pockets with all the gold they can carry and go rushing to the order of light city. That goddamn Aurora, she ruined my business. Now I don't have any clients or crafting supplies. I'm acting as the owner of this village for now, but I really don't know what I will do from now on.

Rake: I'm sorry, I didn't know. You know what? Take this.

*Throws something at handy*

Handy: What is this?

Rake: It's a soul gem. It will up your game, but you will have a great pain if you use it for too long.

Handy: I... I don't know what to say.

Rake: Don't worry about it. I'll get going now.

*the doors burst open*

Help! Handy! Bandits have captured several new players and
threaten to kill them  if we don't give them a huge amount of gold!

Handy: What?!? Those bastards, they came back!

Rake: Don't worry handy. Where is their hideout?

Handy: It's in a cave, south from here.

Rake: Gather your troops and block all exits around their cave. I'll be there in half an hour. Let me teach those guys a lesson.

Handy: Are you sure about this?

Rake: Just leave them to me and train. One day, I want to see you on my guild.

Handy: You bet kiddo!
