I had one hell of venture behind me. And it didn’t end good so I got some time to rest. Master called me into the house of his good friend. I came in. He was standing there in the middle of the room talking to his friend who played the piano.
“I have something to tell you!”
“What would your wish be?”
“I don’t have wishes! I have commands, demands, assignations!” looks like I’m getting fired.
“You have demands? Or commands? Common, stop playing around! That’s not like you at all.”
His friend smiled at me and waved that I shouldn’t take him too seriously. I’m not so sure what to think about her. Most of the time she and her retainers are too easygoing. Never saw them take anything serious. Why is my master so often with her? She is slowing down his progress! He could be The master of black arts!
“I’m not playing around! My assignation for today is..”
“Bring him anything, but show him that you are one hell of a retainer he can be proud to have!” What she said surprised me, did I get a second chance?
“Show me what you made of.”
“Yes master! I won’t fail you again!”
“I trust, you won’t.” Before master went out he looked at me.
“Don’t kill yourself by trying too hard.”
She stood up too, took her sword and poked me.
“He worries too much, because you just like him. A too hotheaded blackmage. So don’t get so beaten up like last time.”
They left the house.
“But what should I get to proof myself?”
Once I heard master talking about the Moogles and a place called Thornmarch. He was saying something like it’s pure hell there! When I bring something from that hell it should be proof enough.
So I found myself a party that wanted to conquer that hellish place. After I went inside and saw those fluffy oversized things I could not understand why is this place such a hell. After 5 minutes I understood the reason, but there was no way back. They sang, they squeaked and that running around! Why can’t they stand still in one place and let get killed right away? Why that squeaking? Why? After many hours of that squeaking sound that started to ring in my ears we defeated the Mog King. I grabbed something and run away from there! Never again that squeaking! When I came back my master was already waiting. He was sitting on a big sofa and talking with her again.
“You don’t look so good. Where did you go?”
“Thornmarch”
Both started to laugh. I think I know why.
“So?”
“I brought you this...” I took out what I grabbed... that’s not the Maleficent Mogstaff! I grabbed the wrong item! That‘s Malevolent Mogwand.
“Well I will accept this as an apology.”
Master was still laughing, but he looked happy. I think he isn’t angry anymore about that fish I brought last time.
