The Ancients World

I got to give the greatest gift a child could to there parents last night. I could hardly sleep last night after such a happy scene. Never in my life had our entire family shared a moment of pure complete happiness. It is the next day and I have a long journey ahead of me today, I told my parents I won't be making dinner tonight since I plan to put in serious hours today.

I hop into my gaming pod and enter Ancients World, I wake up in my bed roll and the sun is just starting to come into the room I stayed in for the night. I look over and see the griffin is also getting up and taking care of its feathers. I pack things up so it can finish its morning routine and get ready. "Lets head back to Blue Grass." The griffin understands and we head outside and I hop on its back. He spreads his wings and we take off.

Now that we are good and high I can see miles of the beautiful snow capped mountains and forests filled with tall powerful trees. The clouds are think and fluffy as the griffin goes through them. I can feel the wind and cold on my face as I spread my arms enjoying this amazing morning. As I am enjoying myself an Announcement rings throughout the world.

[World-wide Announcement: There will be a newly added feature to Ancients World in the coming Auction house in 48 hours from now!]

The announcement continued for its usual 1 minute and 30 seconds so everyone hears it. I can only think how big the forums are getting right now. Once I sell this guild token at the auction house I can honestly say that my family will never have a financial problem again. It really is nice to not be the one in the world announcement for a change. Thinking about it this journey has provided me with a huge power boost and I even came out of it with a legendary quest.

We fly high for many hours and are making better time back since we know where we are going and I am very light. I suddenly feel the most powerful creature I have ever felt up ahead and as I am about to let the griffin know I notice it has a calm attitude, like it knows something I don't. As we come out of the clouds I am shocked to see a huge dragon soaring above us. It is almost the same size as the capital cities.

Dragons are not your average existence in Ancients World. You can fight them if you wish, but they are generally reclusive not wanting to be disturbed. They can also talk to humans, most dragons are the type to be peaceful. There are some that are evil, but they are even harder to find since most have been imprisoned by powerful lower gods or deities. I wonder why this one has decided to come out and actually show itself to someone. I try and inspect it, but I get the expected thing.

[You are too weak to view this creatures stats]

[This mysterious dragon felt you trying to inspect it]

[This creature is strong enough to view all your information]

After about 15 seconds the dragon that is flying above us quickly dives down and is now below us. He carefully approaches from below and now I am looking into his eye that is the same size as the griffin. "What brings you all the way out here little angel?" Instead of a he, its a she. This dragon has a lovely tone to her voice.

I don't want to be rude to such a creature so I quickly answer. "I was sent on a quest to find the Horn of the Forest in the Ancient ruins of the Dryads. I am on my way back to Blue Grass to turn it in." As I say that she lightly squints her giant eye at me. Looking at her she is a beautiful mix of light gray, light blue, and white. I don't know what type of dragon she is without seeing her information. I don't even know her name.

[This creature is seeing if you are telling the truth]

Her huge mouth turns up into a smile. "I appreciate your honesty little angel. I will leave you with some knowledge. Be sure to trust in your power, you are not even scratching the surface yet. I'll be keeping an eye on you." As she said that a notification pops into my interface.

[The Mysterious dragon will be watching you from now on]

[The Mysterious dragon likes it a lot that you were honest with her]

[You are an important friend and person to the Mysterious dragon]

Powerful creatures are capable of such things. I, at least, want to know her name before she disappears. "Wait! Before you go can you at least tell me your name?" She looks at me with an eye smile.

I feel good since she didn't take disrespect too that. "How could I forget that. My name is Nelli, I am the first born daughter of the Dragon King Vendris. It has been nice meeting you, son of Michael." I am left in complete awe. The Dragon King Vendris is the strongest non-deity creature in Ancients World and I just met his daughter.

She slows down a little bit and goes lower than us before flapping her huge wings and taking off way ahead of us as she gains altitude. As I am left thinking about this I am brought out by my annoyance from an announcement.

[World-wide Announcement: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael has gotten the attention of Dragon King Vendris!]

[World-wide Announcement: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael is now an important person and friend to the first born daughter of Vendris and princess of all dragons Nelmorphius!]

[World mission Announcement: Both the church of light and the church of the dark ones have increased the rewards for any information on The Son of Arch-Angel Michael!]

I listen to the announcement ring out and I know for a fact that this is going to cause a lot of problems with others in the future. We continue flying for a few more hours and I can now see the city of Blue Grass in the distance. After another 5 or so minutes of flying the griffin lands in the stables and the stable boy take care of it. I give it my thanks and it lowers its head in acknowledgement of my words. I walk the rest off the way to the Baron's estate and I am let in by the guards with no trouble.

I make it to the door and Charles is already waiting for me. "How can I help you Slayer Zern?" Once I am in front of him I pull out the quest and he knows what it is right away. "Follow me Slayer Zern, the Baron is looking forward to what you have brought back." I follow him into the mansion and I am led to the Barons office. He then takes me to the secret room with all the maps and plans.

I can see that the Baron is talking to some other powerful people in the room. Once he notices me he tells the others they are done for now and waves for me to come over. "So were you able to find the horn?" I give a slight grin as I reach into my inventory and pull out the powerful legendary weapon. "You actually found it! Do you realize how many lives you just saved!!" Talk about excitement. I didn't think nobility can act in such a way.

I don't want to burst his bubble, but he needs to inspect it himself. "Don't get to excited yet. Read its information." As I say that he does and I watch his smile slowly fade. I get that, but if he can find someone powerful enough to use it then he should have no problem.

He continues reading and is now scowling from the demands the horn makes to use its power. "Damn, I didn't think this would be the price for using such a thing. Well, you completed your quest and I'll say you earned your rewards." As he says that I get lots of system notifications.

[You have completed the quest: The Old ones]

[Rewards]

[4,000 gold]

I waste no time and I check out my new stats. I am very impressed with what I see. I guess it is true what they say about the rewards. They are insane.

I didn't know I would have gotten 5 player levels after completing this. I can say for certain that I will be impossible to catch if I just keep the grind up. I then hear an annoying announcement that should have gone off when I turned level 10, but it decided to go of now.

[World-wide Announcement: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael is the first player that can now leave the starting areas and explore the world!]

[World-wide Announcement: Both the church of light and the church of the dark ones have increased the rewards for any information on The Son of Arch-Angel Michael! They will now actively search and track him since he is not confined to the country of Zenith!]

I bet the forums are blowing up right now. I am now able to use my better silver sword and Dead's Bane. I can also start dual wielding. This can effectively double damage and now I can melt elites at my level or lower. I won't be able to get anymore levels in blue grass or around here. I think heading south to Vedersfall is a good idea. Has great epic level quests and is at my level.

As everything is done announcing Baron Jackson turns to me as he received the announcements from the churches magic. "I take it you wont be staying in Blue Grass?" This is guy is smart, I hope that he succeeds in whatever he and his allies are planning with this rebellion.

I look at him with a smile. "If I wish to grow stronger I'll need to head to other places. Thanks for all the help Baron." He laughs really hard as I say that.

He regathers himself and looks at me with a red face. "I should be the one thanking you, with this item we can save millions of soldiers and innocent people in the rebellion against Herold." I nod and I reach out my hand and we shake. I say nothing more and leave the mansion and property. There is one more place I want to stop by first, she will probably want to see me and talk for awhile before I leave months at a time.
