Listen To The Beat Of Our Souls!
By: Kilashandra
It was a glorious adventure! Kilashandra the Norn set out with a small group of adventurers, determined to conquer every dive in accursed orr. As we proceeded from Fort Trinity, the strength of her legend called out to others in the land, and soon she was joined by the small yet robust adventurer Jedgak, and uncommon Asura who's skill at traversing dangerous ground proved invaluable. Not only that, but he was an uncommon Asura, not once did any in the party hear him use the word "bookah" and he had none of the barbed replies most Asura are known for.
Soon, as all legends must, another was called to join in on our epic adventure. we ran into Xensa at the Temple of Melandru, and her thirst for adventure would not be quenched, as she joined us as we cut a path through the fallen dead on our journey through the cursed shores. Ah, you should have seen it, the mindless undead unlucky enough to challenge us fell like omnomberries before a scythe. It was here that Kilashandra's legacy once again reached out, and the brave Sylvari Mesmer walk the Talk felt the Norn call to adventure within herself. Bravely she overcame the perils of the mountains near the Buried Achieves, and through herself into the call of legacy. Bravely did she begin to portal companions in danger of falling to safety, while the brave Norn and valiant Asura held back the forces seeking to block our journey into Legacy. If that Sylvari were a Norn, I am certain she would be a child of bear. As it was she must have impressed him greatly at some point, as Bear's spirit clearly walked beside her.
After conquering the dangers in orr and swimming in it's warm waters, we traveled north to the Shattered Ice Ruins, seeking to once again expand our legend. Hard was the battle here against trolls and denizens of the deep, but our legend would not be denied. Quickly, and with sureness of foot and portal did we battle our way to the top of the ruins, securing the treasure there as a testament to our legacy before jumping into the welcoming grasp of the ocean below.
Emboldened by our success, and hearing the call of Snow Leopard, we traveled to Lion's Arch, where we did much trading, and spreading of our legacy. While there, we heard of an Mysterious base that promised a challenge that few have successfully mastered. Feeling the call of legend, we decided to venutre forth into the perils of the Aetherblades. Much to our surprise, we encountered stiff resistance from these pirates, who have obviously not heard of our legend, lest they would have run in fear at the very sight of us. We battled our way through their base, ensuring that they were well disciplined in the lessons of punishment for theft in our lands.
Area by area we marched, slaying all who stood before us, and recovering stolen goods to return to the families who had lost them, and to support the candidacy of Ellen Kiel. With the quickness of Snow Leopard, and the wisdom of Snow Owl, Walk the Talk did ensure our victory over the airship, and we claimed that for the land. After this, we turned our attention to conquering the massive ascend to the top of the blimp. It was during this trek that Jedgak showed the blessings of Raven, as he quickly solved many of the puzzles that threatened to block our path. It was here that the spirit of Jormag began to insert his influence, threatening to halt our advance and cripple our path to glory.
Faced with a puzzle and gap that we feared unassailable, we began to feel despair. But not to be daunted, and hearing the call of a glorious legacy that awaited them, we we joined by the mighty Mesmers Syrene Harmony and Miss E Lusion. Once they joined our party and committed themselves to the path of glory, Raven sent his spirit to cover the area, and challenges melted before us. Higher and higher we scaled until we triumphantly reached the chest where the demented servants of greed hid their most valuable treasures. Awash with the thrill of victory, we sought to scale even higher, as we had been debating our ability to jump from a platform imbued with Asuran Technology. To have lived long enough to see such co-ordination and teamwork from 3 mesmers working together as a unit was a sure sign that all the spirits of earth, water and air were with us. It was during this trek that the dreaded Jormag once again inserted his influence, causing Xensa to plumet to what we feared was certain death. Not satisfied with this the despicable Jormag called forth a gust of wind which threw Jedgak to the very bottom of the pit. My heart sank with fear for our fallen, but once again, Raven stepped in, swooping down to ensure that Xensa landed safely, (albeit bruised). it was then that i felt the spirit of the God humans call Kormir, who blessed Jedgak with the gift of continued life.
Although still alive, we were worried, as our party had splintered, and several members seemed to be unreachable. Undaunted, Syrene, Walk & Harmony said to fear not, for they were to be directed by Dwayna, the human god of Knowledge and Truth. With guidance, they quickly traversed the steel structures and perils, reaching Xensa first, reuniting him with our party, and then with a 3 stage port, traversed all the way to the bottom, reaching Jedgak and porting him to the rest of our party. It was at that moment we felt the call of legend turn into the call of destiny. With our new-found resolve, we traversed from abouve the blimp, across the hillside itself, to the platforms suspended above it. Upon reaching the top, we surveyed the lands for miles around and knew that our legend had been secured.
At that moment we joined the ranks of the few, the proud - the Gaiscioch!
We look forward to the future challenges, and we will undoubtedly expand our legend.
