JiYeong had never spent much time in Farron. It resided in the Kingdom of Ellshire, which was run by the Elcres clans. Ellshire was a beautiful Kingdom, and Farron was no exception.

Much like Whitewall, Farron boasted being one of the larger cities in Allumia, serving as Ellshire’s capital. It sat between a forest that seemed to be frozen in the early autumn, the trees varying shades of greens, reds and oranges, and a crystal blue lake. Whenever she did choose to visit, it was often in the early mornings, when the sun was just over the horizon. It was when the sun's rays shone on the trees, making the colors vibrant and breathtakingly stunning.

Farron was home to the Archers Guild, since Elcres had a natural talent for both Archery and Animal Husbandry.

Though Zaos had chosen to play as a Zaif, Elcres would have been more beneficial, especially when starting out. It wasn't just the NPCs who were better at Archery. Players who chose that race started with higher stats; more specifically dexterity and accuracy.

Archers weren’t the only thing that made up Farron, though. It was home to a few of Allumia’s smaller sects, such as Leatherworking. Seeing as they were some of the best Hunters the realm had to offer, it only made sense that they were the biggest suppliers of leather, a material used in making armor for classes who didn’t need heavy armor but still needed enough protection that simple cloth wouldn’t give them.

The Guild Hall was one of the medium sized plots that were available in Fallon’s residential district. There were dozens of rooms that the members have for personal use, as well as a kitchen, gathering/living room and basement.

The basement, where they decided to hang out for a while, was decently sized, even having a bar and a couch tucked into a corner near the fireplace.

One benefit to having a Guild Hall was that they could sit in a private area and chat without worrying about conversations from everyone else in the game interrupting. Of course she had her house she could go to as well but Zaos’ Hall was less of a journey for them.

JiYeong made her way behind the bar, deciding to switch to her Culinary class for bit. She was hoping everyone would forget about her use of Shadow Ritual.

Going through her inventory, she picked several berries she got from the dungeons to make a simple fruit salad.

Zaos and Lilia sat on the couch watching as Kit used one of the training dummies for target practice. Kiera picked a seat at the bar, watching her cut the stems off strawberries.

JiYeong: have you decided on a

secondary class yet?

Kiera shook her head, her ear twitching. She was a Zaif, wolf-like creatures who were more humanoid than animal. Her hair was an almost golden color, barely noticeable blue streaks going through it that complimented her bright blue eyes. It hung in large ringlets around her face, shoulders and down her back.

Amusingly enough, she looked more like Zaos’ sister than Kit’s.

Kit was also a Zaif. His hair was short, a dark red and shaggy, falling just barely past his ears. His eyes were dark brown, standing out in contrast to his pale skin.

Zaos decided on a dusty brown ponytail, his eyes a slightly darker blue than Kiera’s. He claimed he’d picked his actual features to go off of when creating his character like she and Lilia had. Even as a Zaif, Zaos towered over the rest of the group.

Kiera: Maybe botany like Lilia. I think Kit is gonna do Woodworking so he can make his own bow and arrows.

JiYeong: ah that's smart. He could make your staffs until you get too high a level too. Botany would be good for you then. Or Mining. You could gather your own catalysts if you Mine, and you won't have to buy them all the time. Plus you'd make decent money selling them.

Kiera: Really? Maybe I’ll do that then! Mining outfits are super cute too.

JiYeong: You can always switch jobs if you don’t like Mining too. Lilia went through like five different jobs before she found one that she liked.

Lilia: It wasn’t five, you liar.

JiYeong: Oh whatever. Anyone want some of this fruit salad? It’ll boost your accuracy and dex some.

Zaos seemed to bounce back at that, going over to sit at the bar next to Kiera. Kit followed suit, taking a seat on the bar, elbow resting on his knee.

Zaos: So JiJi. When am ah

gunna meet ya irl?

JiYeong: When you come to

America.

Zaos: that aint’ fair JiJi.

JiYeong: You’re literally across the ocean in Canada! It doesn’t take long to get here!

Lilia: Pretty sure there isn’t an ocean between us.

JiYeong: Well then there’s really nothing stopping him, is there?

Zaos: Why don’t you come here

then if it’s that simple!

JiYeong: I don’t have a passport

Zaos: How don’t you have a

passport?

JiYeong: Do you have a

passport?

Zaos: …

Kit: JiYeong, what was that

attack you used earlier? I didn’t

think Guardians could use

Magick.

Lilia: They aren’t supposed to

be able to.

Zaos: And Shadow Ritual isn’t a

move I’ve ever heard of either,

not even on Mages.

JiYeong should have known she wouldn’t have been able to escape the conversation. It was weird that the move would show up randomly like that. It was hard remembering if it had even been on her skill bar before. And yet she couldn’t think of any way for it to just show up like it had.

Zaos: Didn’t you say it made

your head hurt? Did you have

the same reaction this time?

JiYeong: yeah kinda…

Lilia: What does kinda mean?

JiYeong yawned, stretched her arms, and glanced at her phone. The time read back at her 12:43 am. When had so much time passed?

JiYeong: Boy oh boy as much as I love sitting here playing 20 questions I’m old and need sleep.

Lilia: JiYeong…

JiYeong: Seriously, I need to sleep. I’m tired.

Zaos: Let her go. We’ll talk more tomorrow.

Lilia: I guess...I’ll text you JiYeong. Don’t think you’re off the hook!

JiYeong: Okay okay. I’m logging

off. See you guys tomorrow!

Kiera: Night sis!

Kit: G’night Ji!

Zaos: Tomorrow then, JiJi!
