Forgotten? I think not...

Ok, this is kinda long, but I found it on a blog I had started on LineageOne and decided to repost it here. Its from several months ago, but I hope you enjoy it all the same. hehe


Aaahh...I woke up this morning, stretched, rubbed my eyes and behold! I was laying on the ground in a safe little nook of an island that has long since been forgotten. I was a little groggy, not really remembering how I got here, so I took a moment to recall the moments of the boat ride and remembering that yes, I did hunt here last night, with my good friend Xact. Even though we tried to kill as many of the enemy as we could find, still we had no luck finding any ancient items...not even a 5% magic resistance ring. *sigh* Still, not to be deterred, I mentally whispered to some friends that they really ought to join me here and they agreed. Later in the day, Qtrax, Telrunya and Tuxedo, all part of my dear pledge, RingAcadamy, chose to join me on Forgotten Island..even through the travail of just getting to the location! Such dedicated friends! Well, we were a little indecisive about which area to hunt. I mean, 2 natures blessing elves, one fire elf and a mage....we wanted a challenge, but we didn't really wish to end our existence on this island and be forgotten along with the land itself.
We started out taking out some bugbears and trolls, met a few drakes and decided after awhile it might be fun to go south of the island and see what we could see. Imagine our amazement when we found copies of ourselves!! Repeatedly we ended copies of Qtrax and myself....it was rather frightening to see the pleasure these friends of mine took in ending my clone. Giant spiders abounded, and strange looking werewolves were everywhere. Ghasts seem to radiate to Qtrax, which was fine, as long as he was not needed to heal the group. Several times we were all very thankful for 2 NB elves in the party.
Eventually, we got a little bored there, so we decided to head over to see what the minotaurs were up to and try our hands at a few more drakes. We made one circuit around the forgotten ruins, annihilated a couple cockatrice and some minotaurs. Took out several of our evil counterpart dark elves came around the back side of the ruins and happened upon Milliard and Massadurah. Shared a few pleasantries with them and continued on our way around the circle.
Lo and behold, there was a group of minotaurs coming for us. We could see that there would be no mercy from these savage creatures! They were out for blood and we responded in kind! The community at large was very vocal...words passing by as quickly as you can imagine. When all of a sudden this proclamation appears before my eyes:
Minotaur gave Qtrax Ancient Scroll.
I stared for a moment, not believing my eyes. Rubbed them a couple of times, then said "oh my God! Do you see what you got?!!!"
Telrunya: "me?"
Gwenllian: "NO! Q!!!"
Qtrax: "What?"
Gwenllian: "Oh my God! Qtrax got an ancient scroll!!!"
The party went wild! Total disbelief! Milli and Massa came around the corner, disappointment etched in their weary faces. Milliard says "I have been here for 9 hours..."
I must admit, I felt a moment of pity for my friend, but (please forgive me Milli) the triumph of actually getting my THIRD ascroll in a month had me floating on clouds and our little group that started out with no expections of receiving such a fine gift from that little island was ecstatic. That one little piece of blue paper made the whole trip worth every moment. In our gratefulness, we discussed what we would do with our treasure. It was unanimous...we would bestow our beloved prince Manwie with the coveted item that he might unseal the scale mail left forgotten in his closet. Immediately, we contacted our 1st Elven Officer, PaiDragon, and told him about our fabulous find. He was excited and agreed that yes, our prince should be so graced with such a gift of our appreciation and honor.
Thank you once again, O Island of the Forgotten, for honoring me with the finding of one of your wondrous treasures!!
