A change of heart

Luke; he wall I could think about during those 2 miserable months. Ren tried to help by getting me out of the house and take a quest or two, but I was never in the mood. After everything that's happened in my life I really did feel alone, I had no body.

"That's it I'm taking you out."

"Ren, what are you talking about."

"Look, all you've been done is mope around your room and think that your life is over."

"You just don’t understand, Ren."

"He was my best friend more like a brother and I miss him. But at least I can do is watch over his cute little sister like he asked."

"Wait you think I'm cute."

"No! Wait yes! I mean...um... just forget it, I'm taking you out already, come on."

Ren grabbed my hand, and finally got me out of the house. I think that was the first time I've seen Ren stutter like that; he's never like that. As I was thinking about it, Ren somehow brought me to the warrior guild without me knowing.

"All we have to do is go in, get a quest, and get supplies. You think you can last that long outside?"

"Ya, ya alright. Can you stop acting like a parent already, its really annoying." I said to Ren.

When we opened the doors then saw General Cara raging and throwing people out of the window.

"Please ma'am, I'm sure if I get a messenger or something I could get them, but stop hurting innocent players please." Guildmaster asked.

"Shut up Conner! I have no time for waiting, I need to see them now!"

The Guildmaster looked around and then he laid his eyes on Ren and I.

"See lass, they did come. Do what you need to do and get out."

General Cara came walking towards us in her white, red, and yellow armor.

"You two, follow me to the back!"

Ren and I didn’t want to pick a fight, especially against a military general, so we followed her. We walked to the back near the storage room. General Cara turned to us with a desperate look on her face.

"I'm sorry to take you away from getting a new quest but this is an emergency. The numbers of us just keeps in getting smaller and smaller. The other leaders and I have been talking, not a single race can defeat a boss even if we have healers, attacker, and defenses. But if we have a group of the strongest warrior from each race we could have a more likely chance on escaping solaria and return back home."

I thought for a moment and remembered what Luke's reason was and now understood why he joined. As I was about to speak Ren interrupted me.

"No, sorry, but we have to refuse." 

I thought Ren would be on board with this idea but then he is still trying to keep his promise to Luke by keeping me safe. But Ren can't protect me forever; I hate the fact that if we are still stuck in the game that there is somebody waiting for all of us. I don't want any more people going through what I had to go through.

"I'll do it, just tell me the place and time, I'll be there."

"Luna!" Ren yelled

"It's in front of the church tomorrow afternoon. And thank you Luna, your brother would be very proud of you." General Cara shook my hand and went on her way back to work. Unlike Cara, Ren was upset with my decision.

"Why the fuck did you just do!?! Why did you agree to that!?!"

"Well I'm sorry if I want to protect others and don’t want to see anyone else cry."

"But why put your life on the line, why do it for strangers!"

"Because it’s the right thing to do! And Luke would agree with me!"

Ren didn’t argue, he knew that was the reason why Luke joined the front lines and was the same reason he isn't with us today.

"Look, if you don’t want to die then fine, stay but I'm not going to wait any longer to see my dad. He needs me and I don’t want him to suffer any more than he already has." Then I walked out of the back room when I looked back I saw Ren sitting on the ground in silence.

When I got out og the guild a message from General Car appeared in my inbox. It was the names of the players that are in the party that Cara was talking about.

LEGENDS PARTY MEMBERS:

Selena Leon – Fairy

Leia Ceberus – Beast Tamer

Beth RO'man – Werewolf

Pawblo Bester – shapeshifter

Jace Herlen – water wizard

Ryder Flint – Fire magican/ archer

Maria Heartfair – Angel

Kathren Grimm- Reaper

Then as I scrolled through the names it also had the catagories and races. There was no person with the same title. And when I got to the end I found my name.

Lucinda Silvermoon – Lunar celestal witch

Its official, I'm now a part of a new party. would be happy that I'm making a difference, but the way that Ren got mad at me, made me second guess my decision.

To clear my head, I walked to the park that was near the center of town. There was a big water fountain in the middle with a mermaid statue on top. And around it was trees, flowers, and some benches to sit. There where mainly nature fairies taking care of the flowers.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit here,"

I looked up to see a girl with long, brown hair, wearing a white tank top, blue jeans with patches, black combat boots and a red and black flannel tied around her waist. She also had a black ribbon tied on each arm and a chain on her pants with a charm of a door on the end.

"Sure go on ahead."

She sits down next to me and stares at my necklace.

"Nice amulet, you must be Lucinda. My name is Leia the beast tamer."

"It's Luna and how do you know it was me?"

"General Cara gave a message to the rest of us that you're joining and so is a friend of your."

"Well I'm not sure if he will be joining."

Leia looked at me with a concerned look.

"What do you mean? Did something happen to both of you?"

"He didn’t want me to join because he doesn't want me to be killed he's worried I would end up like my brother."

"Oh, I'm so sorry about your brother."

"it's alright. Ugh, sorry I'm ranting. I don’t even know you and I'm telling you my life story."

Leia patted my shoulder and said "It's okay, talking about it makes people feel better. Look, maybe before you leave he will realize that your going to have to grow up and start doing things on your own. And make decisions that don't please everyone."

I looked at the sky and realized that it's getting darker.

"I'm sorry; I have to go home now. Thanks for talking with me."

"it's alright; hope everything resolves in the end. See you tomorrow."

We waved each other goodbye and ran home. Leia is right; I'm growing up and I have to make my own choices. I know Ren wants to protect me but I have my own life to live and he does too.

When I got home I found Ren waiting for me on the staircase, he still looked upset. I closed the door behind me and stood against it. After a few seconds of silence, Ren looked up and stared into my eyes.

"Look, I'm sorry for being mad. I just didn't want to make Luke's promise go down the drain. The least I could do for him is protect his kid sister."

I walked towards him and sat ion the staircase.

"I understand but we can't just let others die. There are people waiting for us and I don't want to wait anymore."

"I promise we will go home. I'll make sure." I said leaning on his shoulder

"You can go but I'm going with you. Your still having trouble with your aiming, you can never hit a target."

We both laughed and made more clever comments about each other. Leaning on his shoulder made feel safe, I never wanted to leave that moment.
