New players

I'm so glad that Ren forgave me, but ever since that night I fell weird around, him like my stomach had butterflies flying around and when I'm thinking about him my face gets warmer. It's weird but luckily he hasn't noticed.

The next morning came and Ren and I put all of our necessary items in our inventories like health potions, money, weapons, clothes with skill jumps, and some food. We didn’t take everything because we could still return home when we had some down time. I looked at the house one last time and we left to the church where General Cara told us to meet her. When we got to the church we saw General Cara and Leia there waiting for us.

"Hey, good to see you Luna; I'm glad you’re here. And is this the friend you told me about, is he your boyfriend?" Leia said

"No! No! It's not like that, he's just a friend! That's all!"

Leia laughs and said "I was just messing with you. You're so cute when you're embarrassed.

I lowered my head trying to pretend the whole conversation wasn't real. Leia just kept on laughing and General Cara as well.

"Well we should be going now. The others are waiting." General Cara said.

General Cara opened the portal and went through without a word.

"Your going to love the others, they're so amazing. See you on the other side." Leia said before she went through the portal yelling 'YAY!!!'

"Are you sure you want to do this ?" Ren asked being concerned.

"Well there's no going back now."

Ren grabs my hand and we both go through the portal not knowing what would be on the other side.

The sun shined right into my eyes, with the smell of pine cones in the air. The sight of tall pine trees and dark green grass made the area seem deserted. There was a trial of pebbles and stones leading to a rundown building.

"Come on, we don’t have all day." General Cara said with a serious tone.

As we walked, Leia told us about the other and stories they had together and what not to do.

"Leia, I have a question; why is the party called 'the legends'." Ren asked.

"Ya, I was wondering that too."

"oh an idiot in the party thought of the name. We all said no but he wouldn't listen. Once you see him you'll agree that he's a dumb ass."

"Well he sounds interesting. Hey Ren I think we found your long lost twin."

Leia laughed while Ren rolled his eyes. General Cara didn't say a word; it was like she was lost in her own trail of thoughts.

"Oh ya, don't tell Maria that you’re a witch and shadow knight." Leia warned

"Why?"

"She had a bad history with them. And has a whole theory about them as the real villains of the game."

"But she will find out any way when we're in battle, also her staff and my neck markings are a dead give away." Ren stated

Leia opened her menu and went into her inventory. On her hand was a black scarf and handed it to Ren.

"Here use this. There are some areas in Solaria that wouldn't welcome your kind."

Ren grabbed the scarf and wrapped it around his neck.

As we walked on the trail there was a pond with a pixie colony and little pixie villages surrounding it. When we got closer to the building, you could see more details to it. There were some pink trees that made the building pop out. Over grown plants coming from the roof top. The building didn't look rundown or broken, it used to looked abandoned. Like someone used it before , but then forgot about it.

"Welcome to your new home, I have leaders to talk to so Leia will show you around. If you have any problems message me or find me on the top floor."

Some guards that were in front of the entrance, opened the door and followed her inside.

"Well I guess I'll show you the chill room. Everyone is probably there right now."

The inside of the building was way nicer than the outside. With tiled floors and wall papered walls. The windows had red silk curtains and the walls had some paintings of Solaria's history. There were many doors and hallways in every corner, so I could see myself getting lost very often.

"So this is the chill room, where we mainly come to eat food, train, and ,well, chill."

The room was as big as 4 high school classrooms. It had everything: kitchen, training area, a library, a sitting area, and a council area with a map of the terrain of Solaria.

In the room, there was a fairy in the library reading a book, she had long, wavy brown hair almost reaching her ankles. She also had pink and purple streaks in her hair. Her wings were the same color as the streaks on her hair. She also had a purple short-sleeved jacket and a yellow shirt with a black sailor collar. She had teal jeans and violet flats. She didn’t seem interested with the world around her as her eyes were glued to the book.

"That's Selena the fairy. Most of her kind would go to find a warrior ro be their healer but she rather stay inside of the safe point and read for the rest of her life. The fairy queen volunteered to the idea because of her intelligence and so she doesn't start trouble with the other fairies. Hey Selena! Say hi to the newbies!"

"Shhh!" She said with anger "I'm trying to read. Now leave me alone." Then returned back to her book.

"She'll warm up to you, just takes some time." Leia said walking me and Ren towards the training area.

The training area was on the opposite e of the room form the little library. There was a few punching bags and treadmills set up for leveling up your fighting skills. There was a girl with red orange, wavy hair fighting one of the punching bags and a boy with brown hair was standing next to her. The boy has, and black boots. He also had a red cape and light blue gloves and on his head were wolf ears the same color as his hair. The girl had her hair pulled but revealing her dangling earring with a paw print and her sea blue eyes. She had a black cropped top also revealing a dream catcher marking , blue jeans, and black n' grey boots.

"Luna and Ren meet Beth and Pawblo. Guys these are the newbies."

"You mean the witch and the shadow knight." Pawblo asked.

"Yup the one and only."

"At least we're not the only cursed creatures here anymore. The names Pawblo, Pawblo the shape shifter." He said while shaking my hand.

"I'm Luna and this is Ren. What do you mean by cursed creatures?" I asked

"Well in the general game there are two sides of races. In the light there are the ones who are blessed like fairies, white knights, sorcerers, angels, and etc. And the dark are the ones who are cursed like monsters, shape shifters, beast tamers, witches, shadow knights, and stuff like that. And General Cara told us about your race so you fall under the dark side."

"I understand, but why do they call us cursed?"

Beth punches the punching bag one more time and says "Because the angels, the leaders of the light, think that witches cursed the innocent to become monsters or have humans with dark magic. Then have the shadow knights make sure their lives are a living hell. Most people believe but I think the whole story is bullshit."

Ren touched the scarf and said "So that's why you want us to stay on this Maria girl's good side? So no shit happens between us."

"Yup, Maria is very hard headed but with some time she'll have a new view on you two. She did that for us and she can at least have some what of a decent conversation with us."

I turned to the direction were the library was and saw Selena still reading.

"so Maria thought of you as blessed, just like her."

Selena looked up from her book "No, at first she thought I was cursed trying to be a fairy. She thought I was reading all these books planning to massacre all of the fairy race."

"Wow, maybe she's the most cursed out of all of us.'

Everyone laughed, agreeing with me. I even saw Selena smile as she returned to her book.

"Yup, you're going to fit in just fine." Beth said punching my back.

"So where's Jace and Ryder?" Leia asked Beth

"Oh they were acting like idiots in the shopping district and got into a fight with a few gangs. Maria heard about it and is probably kicking their asses."

"Ha, that sounds like them; at least they have this guy they can try to break." Leia said pointing at Ren.

Selena dropped her book all of a sudden as if something bothered here.

"I sense a dark aura coming this way."

The room was dead silent, everyone looked at each other as if they could read each other's minds. Then the next thing I knew Beth and Pawblo grabbed mine and Ren's arms, hiding us inside a closet.

"Stay there until we say it's safe. Trust me we're saving your lives right now." Leia said before closing the closet door.

"well I guess we're stuck in here for a while. This Maria must be a she-devil if they are putting us in a closet like this."

"Ya...right." I said quietly in a squeaky voice. Just hear me out, I still don't know Ren that well and he barley knows anything about me. So being close to him in a small area is very awkward. I could hear my heart beating faster and my face warming up.

"You have some nerve to go around picking fights with other players. We are supposed to be humanities last hope not their most wanted ass holes!" A girl's voice screamed.

"Ryder dragged me into this. He needed to get more arrows but ended up hitting on every girl involved with the gangs."

"Shut up Jace! They were so cute how could I not start a friendly conversation with them."

"Ya, a friendly conversation involving you complimenting their butts."

"Shut up! And besides before we left, I told Selena where we were going."

"Selena, what the fuck! Why didn't you tell me?"

Ren opened the closet door a little bit to see what was going on. A boy with blue hair and a boy with brown hair were tossed to the ground and a girl with long blonde hair, wearing a yellow-white dress and a red cross on it, and also had pure white angel wings.

"Well Selena, where's your reason? Why didn't you tell me where these idiots went?"

"Doesn't seem like a big deal. You were going to find out anyway. And besides I was reading, I just ignore them entirely." Selena said, returning to her book.

Maria was frustrated and threw a spear at the door of the closet. I gave a little squeak of terror then Ren put his hand over my mouth. When he did his hand was scratched by the spear.

"What's in the closet? Why do I feel blood on my spear."

Leia ran next to her trying to distract her. "You must be tired; why don't you go to your room and take a nap. Don't worry we'll make sure nothing in here is dangerous."

Maria shoved Leia out of the way and stared at the closet. At that moment I didn't know what would of happened. Maria had another spear and threw it at the door again, this time it went through Ren's left arm. Now his hand and arm was dripping with blood, but some how Ren still had the strength to hold me close to him and holding me tight.

"Come on out, I know you're there. My spears are an extension of my magic so if there is blood on it, I could feel it."

Using her magic, Maria made another spear and pointed it towards the door.

"You better come out here before I count to 3 or you won't live to see another day."

"Maria!" Beth yelled "Stop acting crazy are you out of your mind!"

"...1..."

I looked around trying to think on what to do. Should I stay in here, fight against her, or surrender myself.

"...2..."

I looked at Ren watching his health bar sinking lower and lower. I had to think about him, if I don't do something now he could die.

"...3!"

I held my amulet close to my heart and all I could think was to save Ren.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
