My second RO fiction. I decided to start something new for a change and something to write for fun. So here you go.
I do not own anything relating to Ragnarok Online. Happy? Good. If your not, oh well. Not my problem.
Chapter 1: The beginning
"OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I yelled at the top of my lungs as I slammed opened the oak door, only to meet the unpleasant smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke. There was some drunkard who shouted "HEYA A BABE!" Idiots, all of these people are adventurers who had wasted their life. Makes me wonder how the world revolves these days.
"Shut up. I didn't come to waste my life." I replied sharply, putting a hand on the handle of my twin sword. If one dares to insult me or lay their dirty finger on me, I will not hesitate to land a painful blow upon them.
I made my way through the crowd, avoiding any eye contact with anyone affiliated in this horrid place. It was not long before I found the certain someone I was looking for. Purple hair does stand out in here, especially when most of these people don't even bother to wash themselves. Dirty rats I'll tell you.
"Oscar……" I put a hand onto the purple haired lord knight's shoulder. He flinched and he slowly turned around. Upon seeing my angered expression, he held a hand up and smiled nervously.
"Um……Hi Julian…what brings you here?" He kept on smiling as he spoke in a small voice. I withdrew my hand from his shoulder and then grabbed the collar of his armor. I pulled him toward the front of my face.
"You idiot! You left your office without completing ANY paperwork!" I hollered. Oscar winced at the level of my voice. Despite the fact that he is taller than me, that does not mean I am weak, physically and mentally. People knew me VERY well for my determination, abilities and strong will that bring any man down.
Oscar, now held both hands up and smiled. "I just needed a break…you know how hard it is to be trapped in that room for one hour? Here have a drink with me." He offered, still smiling.
What the hell is he thinking?
"Oscar…you have ten seconds to get off your butt and leave this place. NOW." I said, in a threatening tone. I was about to take out my sword and beat him up as a punishment.
"Julian, I understand your sentiment of annoyance and anger toward him. However, you need to calm yourself down. Your honor of a Lord Knight will be tainted if you commit such actions in these wretched place." A voice cut in. Oh great…the one person I can never win against.
"…..understood Sir Xeno." I replied with full disgust as a came face to face with a tall figure. Hair white as snow and blood red eyes looking down toward us. His armor gleaming as his red cape billowing behind him. Roy Xeno, also known as Lion's Pride. The leader of the Prontera famous Lord Knight's Guild, Eternal. The guild I am currently under command.
"Oscar." He started averting his attention from me. "This goes for you as well. The incompetence of your work is slowing the guild's alliance, which could lead to a severe downfall in the guild."
"Yes, yes Roy…. I'll get on it." Oscar mumbled as he stood up. He made a tired gesture as he walked past us and out the bar. That son of a…
"Julian Voltus."
His voice cut in once more as I quickly organized my thoughts. If I want to get promoted, acting all childish in front of him will certainly won't. I regained my composure and my senses as I looked up at him.
"Yes Sir Xeno?"
"That angered look does not suit you."
o.O what?
"I beg my pardon. What did you just say?" I asked again, hoping that I had something in my ear and I heard wrong. Maybe some blood from the slaying the wolves got into my ear.
"I said your angered expression does not suit you. Especially for a Lord Knight."
Oh, that's what he meant. Me looking like a complete mad woman will bring my appearance down as a Lord Knight. Yeah, I sort of expected that. Knowing him, none of the guild members (except for Oscar) expect any warm words or appraises from Sir Xeno.
"Thank you for worrying about my honor, but I think it really does not matter at this moment." I said, full with sarcasm. We're in a bar for good sakes, no one, I mean no one, is going to remember what happened three hours before they knocked themselves out with alcohol.
Speaking of alcohol, I was beginning to get sick of the smell in this crowded bar. Glad I never drink, or else I might be one of those retards in here.
"Julian."
Oh god what did he want now?
"Yes?"
"There are some new recruits waiting outside. I would like you to accompany them as I lead them around."
That was unexpecting for two reasons. One, he almost never recruits anyone that's not in a transcendent class. Two, why the hell did he ask me to go with him?
"Usually Oscar takes that position but since he is busy and on a short term notice, you're the only one available."
Can he read minds too? I swear I think he's physic sometime. Maybe some unknown godly card is forged into his armor that gives the ability to read minds. Anyway, we're finally out of the horrid place and now in front of the new recruits.
"………THESE are the new recruits?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Maybe this was some kind of joke. Was today April Fools day?
"Yes."
Ok so it isn't. Here were the new recruits. A swordsman with messy brown hair, a hunter with cat ears on his head and an…acolyte with ribbons in her hair? All of them in their pre-teens and from the looks of it they are definitely inexperienced.
"From the swordsman. Orpheus Lieuken, Edward Genlar and Camus Henfien."
Wait, Camus? The acolyte is a guy?! And he has RIBBONS in his hair?!
"Why is Camus wearing a GIRL'S uniform?" It was bad enough for girl's to wear boy's uniform here. So why the heck is a guy wearing a girl's uniform?!
"Sister Cecil gave him the wrong uniform."
WTF?
That was the only three words that came up in my mind. I knew that the people in the church were light headed sometime but not this light headed!
"Why do you have ribbons in your hair Camus? It really doesn't fit for a guy."
"Well why is a pretty grown up lady like you not wearing anything that fits for a girl?"
Ouch, nice come back.
This kid is tougher than he looks. Anyway, with that remark Sir Xeno muffled a laughter next to me. Well I guess it can't be helped, I mean, it looks wrong for a Lord Knight to be wearing anything with frills with the shiny extravagant armor.
"You'll be in charge of them Julian."
What? Did I just hear that?
"Excuse me? I did not hear you just say that I am going to baby sit them."
There was some yell of complaints from what I said but that didn't matter right now. Sir Xeno just smirked as he put a hand on my shoulder.
"It will be a good experience for you."
Yeah right. I bet 1000 zeny that he's lying and just wants someone else to take this crappy job.
He sighed upon seeing my angered and annoyed. "You'll receive a monthly payment if you do this."
Now that's what I'm talking about!
"Yes sir!" I replied with full determinations. Doing this for free was one thing but being paid for it is another. If I'm getting paid for being their nanny it's good deal. Beside how hard is it to look after three rookies?
Author's corner
Yeah, I decided to write a story that I would enjoy writing for once. I don't really see much fiction that has a female LK as a main character here. Read and review. And definitely no flames maybe a comment or two about my weakness might be nice from time to time.
Now for the final………WHAT PAIRING WOULD BE THE BEST?! Survey
Obviously the pairing is going to be Julian x ?. The problem is who. We'll just start off with which class…
1st class people?
2nd class people?
Transcendent class people?
That's the first part. Please vote for one of them so I continue the story!!!
