The sun covers the guild in a white glow, it is early in the morning, and the members are ready for another round of training, steeling themselves to spar again. A group of soldiers are gathered in the back.
Falconer: Ok, Husk?, Zaylee and Juni, what will be our game plan today?
Zaylee: I think we should entrench ourselves, and then charge.
Juni: I agree, we could do a lot of damage if we catch them by surprise.
Husk?: I could also go around.
Falconer: Hey ____, that’s a great idea, I think they won’t see you
Juni: So it’s agreed, _____ will go around
Zaylee: Yeah and….
Suddenly the area gets incredibly foggy, Husk’s vision obscures and he can barely see…
Atoll?: Husk...Husk…
The Voice calls again
Atoll?: Husk...Wake Up.
The Present Day
Husk wakes up from his small sleep in a jolt, looking up from the Inn they were in.
Atoll: Gladian is getting ready to go leave, if you want something to eat, someone died on the way in.
Husk: No...thanks..
Atoll: Huh, I thought you liked eating that stuff…
Husk’s Crest begins glowing for a bit.
Atoll: How odd, well, I guess you should wait till we get back to the Guild to eat then.
Husk: Ohk…
Husk and Atoll step outside where Gladian is waiting
Gladian: Oh, hey Husk, I see you finally woke up?
Husk: Where are we?
Atoll: The Dragonspit Inn, members of the guild came here all the time..
Gladian: Remember, he lost his memories
Husk: I lost…
Atoll: Is he gonna be ok?
Gladian: I think so.
Husk: …..
Suddenly, low cloud cover begins covering the ground
Gladian: Fog?
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Atoll: We should get going then
Suddenly, beings made of light come out of the fog
Husk: This looks..
Gladian: We should get home
Begin Combat Tutorial
When you win
Atoll: I’m really getting used to guild life now.
Gladian: Great, now let’s go home
Husk: Time to go
Begin District 9
Midway Through
Atoll: Does this fog have anything to do with Optica, it doesn’t really seem like her style?
Husk: Maybe-
Gladian: I remember something about covering the world in light, but how would anyone see in the thick fog?
Husk: Whatever it is, we should...go...stop it
Continue through District 9 again
When you get 6/7ths through
Husk: When will the fog disperse?
Atoll: The obscured visibility is quite annoying
Gladian: I’m just worried that it’s not just here.
Finish District 9
When you complete District 9
Atoll: The Guild still looks normal.
Gladian: We should go inside
Husk: Agreed
Atoll, Gladian and Husk enter the guild
Inside is a lot of guild members, plus Iseri, they are discussing the fog.
Iseri: People on my street have been pulled inside, I have not seen them
Xen: I see that the fog is developing at a concerning rate, we should mobilize.
Gladian, Husk and Atoll go near Xen and Iseri.
Iseri: Hello Gladian, also, “we”.
Xen: We all stand a chance if we go together, who is still left here?
Zkn, Vendil and Ehl are sitting on a table shooting off glances
Zkn: We are still here?
Ehl: Yeah, I guess we are.
Vendil: I guess saving the world is my job now
Zkn: Don’t let that fame go to your head.
Atoll walks over to the table
Atoll: Are you gonna go with us?
Ehl: I’d love to help, so count me in.
Vendil: Where to start, I guess?
Xen: Wait, aren’t you guys missing someone?
Gladian (Remembering his girlfriend): Oh, Indica? Is she in the mist?
Xen: Actually, yes
Atoll: Let’s find her.
Iseri: Me and Xen will stay here, maybe acting as mission control
Xen: So you're sticking around
Iseri: Shut Up
Zkn: Then..I guess we’ll head out
Zkn, Ehl and Vendil join the party
Begin District 1
Zkn: Hey, uh, is Gladian your name?
Gladian: Yeah, why?
Zkn: Well I remember hearing Xen say that Indica, Atlantic, Falconer and Hudson were on a boat farther out on the harbor.
Husk: Falconer?
Ehl: Yeah, who is that?
Vendil: The dude with the bird.
Atoll: Eh it’s whatever
Make your way to the docks
When you are ½ way there
Ehl: About this Optica, is she responsible for this?
Gladian: If we had to pick a suspect, it would be her.
Husk: The fog…
Vendil: Got something you want to say there buddy?
Husk: It’s nothing
Continue to the docks
When you reach the docks
Zkn: How far do you think the boat is from shore?
Ehl: It can’t be that far, can it?
Atoll: Nope, it actually looks like a boat is heading into port.
Gladian (Looking at the boat): It appears to be them?
Suddenly, the fog gets thicker and beings of light descend from the sky, and begin destroying the dock
Zkn: Well….these guys showed up out of nowhere
Vendil: Optica’s forces must be at work
Atoll: Well, let’s stop them
Fight One Wave of The Light Beings
When you win
Indica (From the Boat): Hey, were about to dock
Gladian (From the Dock): Ok, come back on land soon
Suddenly a column of light warps in the sky, revealing Optica
Falconer (From the Boat): Ah, finally done hiding behind minions?
Optica: Not quite yet
Vendil: What’s the big deal, we’ll just save everyone again?
Optica: Not this time, I’ve been planning my move for centuries
Suddenly, the sky begins to vibrate, as the fog on the ground forms a bell
Optica: I’d cover my ears if I were you
Bells out of fog form across the city, and they begin ringing
Ringing at deafening volume.
