The First Chuckle
It was on Saturday’s evening; wind blows to soothe and calm the minds of Payoners hanging around. Under a tree, there sat a hunter whom tired and bored of hunting alone. Snaring and strafing the undead prisoners and the wretched executioners in the abandoned prison of Glastheim Ruins had siphoned away his energy. The place itself sure is eerie, not to mention cold and damp would wear out one’s energy. A tired soul is not a good sign for a hunter. Hunting there alone has always been his activity over the past few days. Good loots, not bad for inexperienced hunter, but when you have been alone in such place for a long time, repeating between snaring monsters, strafing trapped creature, and looting their dead bodies would build up fatigue in one’s soul – his teacher said once.
There is no place like home. Payon has always been the heart of Hunters in Rune Midgard itself. The calm and green surroundings soothe and recharges one’s determination in the kingdom – to be at their own best version. The hidden village provided with enough natural resources. Creatures in form of moving trees are how archers were born. Hitting these creatures – Willows – would give them sufficient materials for them to graduate as successful Archer. Upon graduating, the Masters will give them Bow [3] together with enough Arrows for the set afoot into the realm.
As Dreamo – the hunter in our story – chills underneath the tree, there was a group of other Midgardnians adventurer like him hanging around. One of them, a Crusader was chilling with the rest and showing his verse reciting skills and making the ground glows with bright illumination. Grand Crosses are skills of which only capable Crusaders able to do well and cause any creature getting near to him / her would take holy damages.
The Wizard, obviously smug and smirked to our Crusader.
“Seriously, you’ll need to train more of your chanting skills man. Train more and you’ll increase your DEXterity on chanting. Don’t forget to boosts your VITality when training. Wouldn’t want your health to diminish too fast won’t ya?”
“That’s the purpose of me dragging my sister around. She’ll heal and supports me accordingly. Wouldn’t you Muffin?”
With a cheeky smile, the Priestess said,
“Oh yeah I would, provided that you kill all the angry mobs and it is safe enough then only I’ll be there. If not, good luck on that mob you’ve been luring around with that endurance skills of yours. Wouldn’t want to waste my hard-earned experiences to your greediness”
Adventurers who wanders around in Rune Midgard would learn and train so much, that all these experiences would be a good steppingstone for them to improve themselves. Somehow, there will be mistakes done – walked into an unknown surroundings with the wrong equipment, not knowing what lies in front, and worst is meeting an ungodly creature with terrible skills and fainting the adventurers – would make them having a mild amnesia, causing them to lose their last gained experiences and in worst case scenario, making them stuck in a hellish cycle of learning and dying on with the same or even no experience at all.
In Rune Midgard, Priests are often travels around the realm to spread words of love and care for others. They helps adventurers and wanderers on their journey on becoming the better self. Addition to that, they have skills which enables other people to travel between towns with the help of a magical blue stone, making them a good companion in exploring the vast world of Ragnarok.
Timidly, the hunter smiles and chuckled hearing what the cute priest said.
“See, even that hunter laughing at you brother. I’m gonna sit with him, I’m tired of you hogging me around while you on your Pecopeco and me struggling to keep it up with you”
“You will?”, like how Calvin Candie reacted when Dr. King Shultz make an offer, the hunter surprised.
“Sure handsome. I heard you enjoy the ruins of Glastheim. It would be fun to go there for once”
Stunned by the Priestess’s statement and action, the Hunter introduced himself and so did she. Little that they knew, a small chuckle was a step of some bewitching and magnificent adventure for both.
“You know what, I’m not going to continue for the night. You need to get your sleep right now young man.”
“But dad, aren’t you going to tell more about the Priest and Hunter’s adventure? Please please please…”
“That will be a story for another night. I’ve promised your mom downstairs to help her with the dishes. I’ll let this lamp switched on, so you won’t be afraid of dark. Good night son”
“Good night dad”
Downstairs, the wife smirked while he is coming down. He smiled and joyfully walk towards her. They embedded themselves on the sofa, enjoying each other’s company. As she leans her head on his shoulder, the guy kissed his head and patted her head lovingly.
“You know, the night is still young, and tomorrow is your offday. Would be shame if we were going to bed early”
Smiling like an idiot, the guy stopped patting her head.
“Well, you what that means. The boy is already in his bed and I’m pretty sure he’s fast asleep now. You want to do it? We have the living room to ourselves you know.”
“Sure, can you set up the sofa properly? It hurts the last time we do it here. My thigh was almost burned with all that heat.”, she said playfully.
“Will do, now go and change to more comfortable clothes. I wouldn’t want to hear you wanting to stop and keep on moving around when we’re on it. Wash yourself a bit if you need to, cause we’re going for a long run tonight” he said while smirking to her.
10 minutes passed. He is on the sofa, waiting for his wife to do what they both love to do together. The one recreation that make them both more loving to one another. That one activity that become the most meaningful action of their relationship over the past decades.
“I’ve logged into mine, what shall we do tonight honey?”
“Let’s do some quests together. Do you have any quest in mind?”
“Sure, let’s hit Morroc first. Eye of Hellion should be pretty easy. Once we got it done, let’s airship to Rachel. But I need you to fetch something from Hugel first while I gather some hearts in Ice Dungeon”
“Ok love. Out of curiosity, what was the bedtime story that you told him?”
“Ah, nothing much. Just our first moment meeting each other under that tree, years ago”
“Funny, that time I was your support in game and now you’re mine”
“Of course, dear, and you know what? I will always love you forever for being together from in game to real life”
-THE END-

So I have always been a fan of the skill "Magnus Exorcismus". In fact, an ME priest is what I usually use to grind and hunt in the game. And so for this contest, I decided to pay tribute to the game and this skill through a traditional paper/pencil/technical pens illustration with some help from MS paint.
