Day 3

I awoke this morning and had yet another mental breakdown. I don't think I'll ever get used to being a girl... My screaming from my mental breakdown caused Euphemiya to come running to me with an extremely worried look on her face to see if I was ok. I explained to her the cause of my mental breakdown and she just hugged my head to her chest and scratched behind my ears while telling me it'll all be ok. After what seemed like hours I finally got up with Euphemiya following shortly after and we made our way back to town to check in with Perome. Upon reaching the town we found Perome anxiously awaiting our arrival. We told her what had transpired in the ruins and a look of amazement spread across her face. When we were finished Perome told us that based on the description of the shadowy figure we fought that it was Ishak and she was impressed we were able to defeat him. Don't know who this Ishak person is nor do I see any reason for her to be as impressed as she was, but if she was that impressed then I supposed Ishak's probably not one I would want to face when he's at full power by myself. After the talks about Ishak and the ruins Perome had yet another task for me. She said there was still evil looming in the forest and that some giant rat looking creature which she called Wild Rakes was likely the cause, so she asked me to kill some of the younger Wild Rakes to help control the population.

On our way out of town, a giant tiger called to me. His name was Buhk and he too had a task for me. Now I really feel like everyone's errand boy girl. He too had a request for me in dealing with the Wild Rakes. He asked me to dwindle down the population of the adult Wild Rakes as well as take out their new pack leader which he believed to be influencing their behavior negatively. Euphemiya and I made our way into the forest and fought our way to the pack leader easily dispatching hundreds of the Wild Rakes until finally, after what seemed like hours and hours, we reached the pack leader. It was about twice as big as the biggest Wild Rake we had fought yet and it smelt 3 times as bad. With our combined might the pack leader didn't stand a chance. Even with his guards that were half his size. We reported back to Buhk with news of our triumph then headed over to Perome who thanked us dearly for saving the forest which she loved. After finishing talking to Perome we heard yet another cute looking, dark skinned girl calling to us. Why did I have to become a girl, WHY?! We went over to see what task she had for us, but she didn't have one. Instead Rhutan, as her name turned out to be, told us about class specialization and gave us a test to see if I was worthy of it. She told us the test consisted of defeating a demon named Agon, but in order to even face him we had to gather some materials and get the proper incantation from Drobi.

Euphemiya and I looked at each other a bit puzzled and amazed and set out excitedly to complete the test presented to us. Gathering the materials and getting the incantation was easy enough, but Agon was a bit more then we expected. After fighting our way through the Wild Rakes that have as of yet to calm down we finally reached the stone tower in the middle of the forest where the Demon Agon awaited us. We gathered our courage and prepared ourselves for the battle against Agon then made our way to the stone pillar and performed the incantation. A sensation of great evil assaulted us then, out of thin air, appeared a giant, flying, fish with wings! Despite its appearance, the Demon Agon was strong and difficult to beat and almost killed me while I stared in disbelief at its appearance. Fortunately for me Euphemiya was there and she saved me at the last minute with a barrage of fireballs which I then added my own to. After hours of running, dodging, and slinging fireballs the Demon Agon finally fell. Euphemiya and I ran to each other and hugged and danced excitedly. We passed the test and defeated the Demon Agon! After taking a moment to catch our breaths Euphi and I headed back to town battered and bruised but victorious!

Upon reaching town Euphi and I dashed to Rhutan excitedly telling her the news of our victory. Rhutan congratulated us and gave us two choices of specialization. She explained the roles and abilities of each specialization then Euphi and I looked at each other, then back at Rhutan and shouted out together “Envoker!” After being taught some of the basic skills of Envokers and being told that it was imperative we travel to Elerd, Rhutan gave me a letter she said she had found on the Nasdaim Grasslands and asked me to find its rightful owner. She also explained to me about how to make my pet grow. Then Euphi came to me excitedly saying she wanted to go and try out as well as train her new skills. I told her I was much too exhausted to do anything else but sleep. She looked really disappointed but we said our farewells for now and she danced away excitedly while I went and found a nice, quiet place and laid down to sleep. Euphi was such a nice girl and really helpful and fate willing we'll meet again, but for now I sleep.
