My Other World…

February 1st, 2009by benzonyte

I woke up late this morning, around 11am and my eyelids sag.
Reeves kept me up til 2am earlier. Oh Reeves? That Beast kin, half human half tiger. I don’t even know why I’m helping him. It’s just that I don’t have anything else to do. It gets boring when you just fly all day over Pangyu, or kill those giant monster spiders on the fields of Ice Rock at the northern part of the map. And it gets irritating when you stare at those non sense talk over the world chat.

Well anyway, I crept through Hell’s mouth at Universal City and see what’s happening on the other side. There’s my friend Sylphea,a human warrior we call Wu Xia, mobbing those drum -carrying freaks over Blasphemy land. I flew over her/him(hehe) and shouted. I’ve seen she/he’s quite busy and decided not to wait for her response. And so atop my Kylin I hopped through the barren lands and evaded some beasts until I reached Demon land’s portal. In a jiffy I was out and wading through the crowded alley of UC. People are always streaming there, to vend, to buy, to fight or curse each other. There are some that chose to plunk on the cliff side; I guess like me they’ve nothing much to do. Here comes ‘Claire and her beau ‘Andrei. They’re also part of the Beast kin: `Claire’s half fox while `Andrei’s half tiger. And there they both go…

Me… I mean my avatar at Pangyu’s realm… Delzhare. I can’t help but absorbed into him. He’s my alter ego, frail yet nonetheless a fighter. I parked my self near the crag’s edge, well away from the noise and disturbance of endless combats. I wonder what they’d get from dueling each other.  So I pondered and noticed the moon peeking through the summit of Cross and Snowslide. Immediately I was drawn to the sight. I unfolded my sharp-edged crystal wings we call Seize the Day and flew over the terrain of Boundless Prairie, feeling like the moon’s calling me. I snapped back to my senses when a bunch of flying fiends started preying on me. I almost lost it. Good thing I have my healing skills on check.

Yes I am one of those they call priests in gaming terms. A You LIng like me is always being summoned when a party needs to go on an adventure or go on mockery with other characters in the arena or in the killing fields. Being endowed with such abilities of a healer and a buffer come as gift and a curse. We are always sought and sometimes “kidnapped”. We die first on the field if we’re not careful or our troop took us forgranted, especially if we are up against another band of blood seeking characters. And our fall is everybody’s fall. No kidding.

Oh well encountering those marauding birds in the sky had me back to where I came from. This time I stood beside one of Universal City’s many temples and just watched the moon rose from the horizon. A let out a deep long sigh. I stared at the bright disk on the sky and asked “What mystery do you hold that even here at the other side of the reel world I’m drawn to you? Why am I entranced by your sight? How do you magnetize someone like me, pulling me to your side? Why do I feel happy when basked by your light?”

I knocked my self so much with thoughts that when I happen to glance at the sky the moon’s gone. Oh well that’s how time goes at Pangyu. As if dusting myself off, I started walking away from the cliff’s edge towards the busy mob. I waved at Big,another Wu Xia friend of mine, and started chatting. Oh my, here we go, I told my self. We’re teaming up with Crooked to set off for a hunt. I frowned in front of the pc’s screen but oh well, better be busy than doing nothing. Crooked’s a loud Wu Xia, but that’s excusable,’coz he’s a friend also. “Let’s go!”, said Crooked. Well good luck to us, hoping we’ll find what we’re seeking. I instantly rode my Dragon mount Kylin once again, strutted towards Miss Lu Chang. After grudgingly paying her fee,at a blink I’m at Dragon city. And another perilous sojourn awaits me, Big, Crooked and two others behind the doors of eery Dark Palace.

The rest is history ….
