Guely's adventure episode V

On with the adventure though. After gaining a lot of experience in my fourth adventure I decided to journey solo to level up...

Part 1 - Return to Selbina

Making my way from Bastok, I traveled across the great waste lands and rocky hills of South Gustaberg to Dangruf Wadi. I traveled there before to obtain the Egg for a mission. Later I gave that Egg away as a gift for helping me with 3 other missions. But I will tell you of that later. Once arriving to Dangruf Wadi I defeated only a few Goblins before my thirst of exploration increased. I had to leave, I had to find new areas to explore.




Heading back to town I walk the crowed streets at night from shop to shop preparing for my next journey. When finished, I rush out of town making my way towards Selbina. Passing by all monsters and check points until I finally reach the Konschtat Highlands. Fending off the foes I encounter there, I notice that the experience I gain is nice. So I decide to stop and fight battles here until I meet up with someone I can party with. As the rest of my journey would be far too difficult alone.






After some time, I met up with Asshi. He was a Hume level 13 Warrior. Not being able to speak English too well, it became quite interesting. But we managed to team up and to continue on our way to Selbina through the grassy highlands. Battling in what few battles we came across, they were easily won. We saw a cave in the distance and with out saying anything to each other (we couldn't anyway) we both knew to check it out.





Walking into the dark cave, barley visible I could see a stone tablet of some sort with writing on it. Not knowing Japanese, I didn't know what it said. Exiting the cave Asshi stated that he had to leave. Saying our good byes, he logs off. Now that I was alone again, I figured I better start heading back the way we came. Not being able to defeat the monsters ahead towards Selbina, it was my only option.

Walking back, fighting the battles I could survive alone, I took note to the White Structure I explored on my first adventure. Still curious to as it's function, I kept going on, back towards Bastok. But just as I would about to reach the next area I run into Xiao. I have run into many times in the past, but this time we were headed in the same direction. So we teamed up.





Once we got to Bastok she mentioned that she would help me with my missions. Excited, I showed her what my mission was and we set off to finish it. The missions went fast, as I already had all the items necessary to complete them. I just didn't know who to give them to. Other then that, all we had to do was clear the mines and we were done. Now I was Rank 2! To show my appreciation, I gave her an item to finish her quest. An Egg. She was very happy and then we parted on our seperate ways.



Now it was time to be on my way to Selbina again. After preparing my things, I quickly left Bastok. Reaching the Highlands again, I was happy to find a group around my level on their way to Selbina. We rushed past all the monsters in the Highlands and ended up in the Valkurm Dunes. Selbina was only a few more minutes away! Coming towards the beach I had to stop and take a look. The view was quite nice.






Finally reaching Selbina only for my second time, I was grateful to see the gates. As we were running towards them, a huge group was exiting all at once. Quite a site to see. But we rushed right by entering the town.



Once inside the town and saw the ship I knew what I wanted to do. I told my party that I was leaving. We said our good byes, and I started to wait for the next ship to arrive... This is where my journey to Windurst begins.

My first boat ride! I waited on the docks, fishing until the ship arrived. My excitement grew when I saw the ship and I put away my fishing pole. Once the doors were open I quickly ran in, trying to explore all of the ship. Although, all doors leading to the upper deck were locked. However, once everyone was aboard and the ship was on it's way, the doors unlocked and we were free to roam about the ship. I immediately started running up top on deck, but then I saw an item shop. Checking it out I needed nothing. So I continued on my way. Very thrilled about the ship ride, explore every corner of the boat. Even the bridge.

Then the music changes.. I know something is wrong. I look around only noticing 4 others are this ship. If we are attacked, we're doomed. I run over to the end of the ship and see another ship floating towards us. Faintly, I see the image of someone casting magic. As the ship came closer I realized 3 mages seemed to be cast magic. Though, nothing was apparently happening. A little nervous, as I was only level 13 and was alone, I prepare for battle.



My attention was diverted from the mages when someone shouted something in Japanese. Turning around I see a monsters on deck. Did the mages do this? I wondered that as I watched 2 others fight off the fish monster. I tried to get all of us to join in a party, but it seemed everyone wanted to stay on their own.


Luck was with us, as that was the only monster that came on deck. I looked back over to where the ship was only to find it floating away, disappearing into the clouds. I sat there for a moment, watching the set rise as we finally arrived in Mhaura. The closest village to Windurst. I was more then half way there now.



Getting off the ship, I look in awe at the village. I love exploring new areas. So the first thing I did was run through every part of Mhaura exploring everything. After seeing everything, I had to find a way to Windurst. I was far too weak to make the trip alone. Searching near the entrance of town I found a group looking for more party members. They were going out to rank up for more experience. I had to get to Windurst, but I figured I might as well take this opportunity and rank up with them. We had quite a powerful group. 3 Black Mages, 1 Red Mage, and 2 Warriors.




Once prepared we went into the open fields of the Windurst country. The creatures here were far different here. My first time being here, I had no knowledge of them or their power. But our party was powerful and we had little trouble with any of the monsters. The best part was exploring this new land to me.







After ranking up for a while, they wanted to find a particular monster called Bogy. It was a ghost that appears only after 20:00 on the beach. As it was getting closer to the time we off towards the beach, in hopes that we can survive the battle.





Roaming the beach for a while, we only found a couple that appeared. But were then taken by another party. These monsters were in high demand. I was curious as to why, but my time was getting short. I needed to get to Windurst. So I headed back to Mhaura to locate another party heading that way.


Spending a bit of time in town I finally found a group of adventures wanting to return back to Windurst. They had a very nice sized group. 2 parties in an alliance. Both with 4 people in them. I knew this was my ticket home, so I walked up and said hello. Luckily almost all of them spoke English. I was well surprised. Everything went perfect.


So we set off on our way to the faraway city of Windurst. We avoided all fights to speed things up. I was glad, as I knew I could die fast here. Traveling through unknown land to me was exciting. I couldn't stop turning my head, looking in every direction, trying to see everything. We came upon a check point which was relieving. So now if I died, I would transport here instead of all the way back to Mhaura. Traveling further, we finally came to the green savannas. The view was incredible. I gazed at surroundings for awhile, Very excited for I will soon be exploring all of this land.










Then we finally arrive... The city of Windurst.


Thanks for reading and of course for all of your support. You all are wonderful. My next couple of adventures will be about the country of Windurst. Then I shall travel to San d'oria. Hope you all enjoy!

Please learn to type correctly. You don't capitalize every beggining letter of every word. -_-;;

i would think you would type faster if you didnt Do This, but back on subject, great journals. And just to let everyone know, as vissione stated, HE DIDN'T WRITE THESE JOURNALS!!!

Good journals nonetheless

He does have a point, Tsuriok. Capitalising the first letter in every word is pretty stupid, and no one cares whether or not you can type fast in a forum.
