Once upon a time in the beautiful Beach town of Comodo.
Holding their hands together, a couple walks across the sandy beach under the glimmering light of romantic fireworks.
Sorin: "Seyren, thank you for taking me to this magnificent place."
Seyren: "I would do anything for you Sorin."
Seyren suddenly put both of his hands on Sorin's shoulder. They both look into each other eyes as their faces slowly drawn closer and closer.
Sorin: "Se.. Seyren..." *blushing
Seyren: "Sorin…" *blushing
Sorin: “Seyren…”
Seyren: “Sorin…”
Sorin: "Seyren..."
"wake up..."
"SEYREN WAKE UP!!"
With a shocking face, Seyren open his eyes from his dream as Sorin gently slap his face.
Seyren: "Wh.. what..?"
Sorin: "I knew I will find you here."
"Taking a nap under the tree near the library."
"Why are you making weird movement with your lips while sleeping??"
Seyren: "Oh.. did I?"
"Probably nothing.." *deep down crying T_T
Sorin: "Anyway, I need to talk to you privately."
"It is important."
Seyren: "Ok."
"Right here?"
Sorin: "No.
"Get up and come with me."
"I know just the place."
As Sorin took a small blue gemstone from her pocket, she placed it between her arms and stats chanting.
Sorin: "Oo.. Lord Odin the mighty.."
"Please heed your humble servant's prayer."
"With thy grace, bestow upon us thy chariot to ease our travel."
"Warp Portal!! mjolnir_02 (170/193)!!"
As she throws the gemstone in front of her, it shattered to dust and a vortex door appear.
They both stepped into the vortex and suddenly arrived inside a neglected cottage on top of a mountain on the outskirt of Geffen city.
Seyren: "Whoa I don't know there is a place like this in Midgarts."
"Look! I can see Geffen from afar".
Sorin: "This is a secret location called Muriniel's cottage."
"Although the roof is broken, it is still sturdy and the view is very nice here."
Seyren: "Well.. what is it that you want to talk about privately?"
"I.. is this the time we talk about our future together??" *blushed
Sorin: "..... No."
"Captain Herman asked me to give this package to you earlier."
"He said he has important duties and will not come back to Prontera for several days."
"I might have an idea what is inside."
"But I think you need to look at it yourself."
With slight disappointment for thinking this was a date, Seyren receive the package and open it.
Inside of it appear to be some sort of device unknown to him.
Seyren: "Huh what is this??"
"Seriously, ever since Captain Herman hangs around with Commander Arquien from the
Excavation team, he keeps showing me some weird stuff."
"Hmm... there is a note that says 'this is a record player device, press the triangle shaped button
to activate'."
As Seyren press the button, the device starts to produce a sound.
Record Player: "Beep..."
"Seyren Windsor, this is Captain Herman von Efesiers speaking."
"I will make this short."
"Our King Tristan Gaebolg III has been missing during his vacation."
"We have searched everywhere with no results."
"However, the Prontera Church council had suspicion towards our enemy the Arunafeltz
States."
"They advised the Queen to send a task force to seek information at Arunafeltz."
"Seyren, you are one of our finest Lord Knight."
"That is why we entrust you to lead this task force."
"Please note that this is a covert operation."
"Only several people know about the King's disappearance and this operation."
"If you captured by the enemy, we will deny your existence or relation with Midgarts
Kingdom."
"I know this is a difficult task, but I cannot stress how important this is."
"If those Arunafeltz extremists have anything to do with the disappearance, this could
mean war."
"Gather a small party and depart immediately."
"The ransom zeny will be at Miss Sorin's disposal."
"Beep..."
Seyren: " Wow.. This is a lot to take in."
Record Player: "Beep...
"This message will self-destruct in 5.. 4..."
Seyren: "Wait what??!..."
Sorin : "Quick throw it away!!"
With haste, Seyren throws the device outside the cottage then.. KABOOMM!!!
Seyren: "Dang it! Is he trying to kill me??!!"
"If this is his new way of giving order to his subordinates,"
"I’m gonna file a complaint".
Sorin: "Calm down. I think we have more oppressing matter right now."
Seyren: "You are right."
"Hmm.. So King Tristan is missing and I need to create a search party to Arunafeltz ASAP huh?"
"And as one of the seven members of the Church Council you are involved in this?"
Sorin: "Correct."
"Actually, few days ago the Church received an anonymous letter saying 'we have your
precious'."
"At first we thought it was nothing."
"But then I heard rumors about the King among our congregation."
"So I asked the Church Council which later found out that our King is actually missing."
"Then we think about the letter."
"Could it actually mean the sender has our King?"
"But why send it to the Church instead of the Palace?"
"Thus, the first possible suspect that came to our minds was the Arunafeltz."
"As you know there has always been some tension between the Churcn and the Arunafeltz."
"Which at the end lead to our situation now."
Seyren: "I see."
"If it is true then we must act swiftly."
"Hmm.. who could be available at such short notice to form a party..."
Sorin: "Actually, I already gave a small heads up to some of our friends."
"Eremes Guile, Howard Alt-Eisen, Cecil Damon, and your sister Kathryne Keyron."
"I haven’t told them about the details, but they are available for the time being."
"In fact, they will be visiting Prontera this evening."
Seyren: "That sounds great."
"But.. I must say I have concerns about including you and my sister in this."
"This is dangerous.”
Sorin: "I understand your concern, but I’m already involved in this task to begin with."
"and honestly, your sister could easily zap anyone who stands in her way with her Jupitel
Thunder."
Seyren: "Hahaha you are right about that."
Sorin: "Besides, They are some of the strongest members of their own Guilds."
"and.. I feel safe with you Seyren..."
Seyren: "Really?!" *blushed
"Well.. I guess if everyone is ok, we could depart immediately."
Later that evening they held a meeting with the rest of the party members in Prontera Pub.
They all understand the situation and agree to run this task.
Based on the meeting, the team decided to go to Juno via Izlude airship before heading to Arunafeltz.
Next day at Juno…
Cecil: "Bad news guys."
"The airport guy told me that they have closed their direct flight to Arunafeltz due to past flight
incident involving monster attack."
"Rumor has it that Arunafeltz extremists trained those monsters to attack the airship."
Howard: "Thank Odin."
"I don’t think I could withstand another flight". *barf
Eremes: "…....."
Cecil: "Apparently our only option is to get into a flight to Lighthalzen and continue by land."
"We will depart in 30 minutes."
Howard: "Noooooo....." T_T
After Eremes drags Howard to the airship, the team continues their journey to Lighthalzen.
Later that evening at Lighthalzen....
Sorin: "Let’s take a rest tonight at that hotel over there."
"I’m sure we are all tired after that long journey."
Keyrone: "Yeah I am beat.”
Inside the Hotel....
Hotel Staff: "Welcome to Rekenber Hotel."
"How may I help you?"
Sorin: "Hi, we would like to book two rooms with three beds each please."
Hotel Staff: "Understood.”
"While we prepare the room please wait in the private waiting room over there.”
Sorin: "Ok. Thank you."
The party walks inside a small room with two couches and a coffee table in between.
Not long after, a hotel staff comes inside the room with a tray of beverages.
Hotel Staff: "We are sorry for the wait. Please enjoy our welcome drinks. Your room should be ready any
minutes.
Hotel staff left the room and closes the door behind him.
Felling tired and thirsty the party drinks the beverages with no mercy.
Howard: "Ahhh.. so refreshin......" *asleep.
Seyren: "Howard don't sleep here."
"Hey Howard.. Howar......."
One by one they fell asleep.
Little that they know the beverages they consumed contain a strong sedative.
Several mysterious figures enter the room and start to take them away somewhere.
The next day....
Seyren starts to regain consciousness in a room resembling a hospital or laboratory.
As he opens his eyes, he soon notices his hands, legs and neck are tied so he can barely move.
On his left, he sees four people wearing green operation coats surrounding one bed.
He tries to take a good look again who might be on that bed.
Suddenly Seyren's heart pumping very fast.
The thing that he feared the most came true.
He feels sick to his stomach and enraged at the same time.
He saw Keyrone unconscious with lots of blood dripping from her bed.
Seyren: "NO NO NOOOOOOOO....!!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER!!"
Seyren cries and tries to struggle, but he can barely move.
Hearing Seyren's voice, the four figures turn their face towards him for a second then continue their work.
For a glimpse Seyren thinks that he recognize one of those figures behind the surgical mask.
But suddenly an older man wearing a white lab coat enters the room.
Dr.Wolcev: "Ah.. my precious subject has awaken."
"Let me introduce myself."
"I am Dr.Wolcev the one who runs this place."
Seyren: "LET ME GO!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER!!"
“WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?!!”
Dr.Wolcev: "Hahaha.. don't worry, all of you will soon become a legend."
"The strongest human ever lived ...and... my obedient servant at the same time."
Seyren: "YOU PSYCHOPATH!!"
Green Coat Figure A: "The core has been successfully implemented, but her heart has stopped."
The familiar looking Green Coat Figure put his/her hands on top Keyrone's heart and whispering something. His/her hands emit a bright green light.
Green Coat Figure A: "Heart rate back to normal."
Looking at what happened; Seyren starts to realize that he knows the familiar figure.
Those long blond hairs... Beautiful blue eyes...
Seyren: "Sorin.. Sorin.. is that you??"
"What are you doing?"
"What have you done to her Wolcev?"
"Did you brainwash her?"
Dr.Wolcev: "Hahaha.... Let me tell you a story young man."
"Long time ago, I have an ambition to create the strongest human."
"At first, I tried my work on animals, but I am not satisfied."
"I needed a human subject to test on."
"But then I realized that if too many subject dies, people will started to notice."
"So I decided to send my most trusted person to study healing magic in our neighbor
country."
"I need someone who can heal wounds and someone who can resurrect..."
"So I won't have to worry about a test subject died."
"I can try as many times as I like."
"And now she has come back home bringing along some gifts for me."
"Some delicious subjects to test on...."
“I was so happy when I heard she will come back."
"I mean all those fake saving the King and Record Player plans."
"Brilliant just brilliant..."
"I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Seyren: "No way!!"
"Shut your mouth liar!!"
"Sorin please tell me this isn't true."
Sorin takes off her surgical mask and gloves and then walks closer to Seyren.
They look into each other’s eyes as Sorin put her hand on Seyren's cheek.
Sorin: "I'm sorry Seyren..."
"My full name is Margareta Sorin Wolcev..."
"NOW LETS CUT HIM OPEN!" *ordering the other green coat figures
Seyren stares blankly onto the ceiling.
Three of his friends are missing, his sister almost bleed to death, he is about to be cut open, and Sorin the woman that he loves isn't someone he knew at all.
Deep down inside Seyren wish that this is all just a dream.
Hoping that suddenly Sorin would gently slap his face and wake him up for taking a nap under the tree.
But it's not.......
*THE END*
