You have a wooden house in Winter’s Hold

“Nice”

Someone patted on my shoulder “You deserve it, and if you want to come back. You now have a house at the northern end of Winter’s Hold”

Heh, “Thanks, Old man” I said, waved and headed outside the house.

“So… What are you planning to do now?” Douglas asked outside with the snow.

“Well, I am thinking of heading to the central, but first I need to prepare myself”

“Oh, the desert? Are you going to the capital city?”

“Yeah probably, there is a tournament for beginner adventures in a month taking place over there. I think it is a good idea to participate for the rewards” I said, looking towards the blue sky.

“...”

“It was nice meeting with you” I said, shook his hand and patted his shoulder with a thumbsup.

“If you ever need my help, call me”

“Hah, I will… See ya Boss!” he said, bowing as I created footprints, further and further away from the old man’s house.

Diamond didn’t forget to stick her tongue out...

…

Once again, the bright sun still shone brightly from behind the white clouds as I stepped inside the armory shop blinded.

“Oh, if it isn’t the customer who bought my barbarian armor! Holy shit… Your armor is in pieces”

“Aye, but I am in need of stronger armor that is perfect for the desert so I wont be repairing this.”

“Heavy armor or ?”

“Balanced, try to find one without pauldrons”

“Right, can I check your status? Don’t worry about it leaking, every shop in Winter’s Hold has the certificate, including me.”

“Ah, sure”

“Ah, you are pretty strong for a level 7, I know the perfect armor for you”

“And… Ice knight… If I remember right... If you go to the Wizards shop, I believe she has a surprise for you”

“Really?”

“Yeah, but please take a look around as you wait, even though everything outside is only for decoration...” He said and went inside the backdoor of the store.

“Right...” What about the barbarian armor….

Walking around the store once again to take a look around, I found nothing interesting… Is the armorsmith really keeping the good stuff in the storage? Bad idea… In a way. Poor noobs… Fooled the moment they step inside, heh…

“Diamond, anything you like here?”

“No” She said, sticking her head out of my hair… Is it that long?

“Ah, here… Is that a Fairy?!” He said, nearly dropping the armor to the floor.

“Yeah” I answered, as she flew around my head in a circle happily.

“You might also want to go to the goldsmith, no you must!” He said with a smile.

“If you say so…”

“Anyways, take a look at this armor set” He said, put the stack of armor and separated them nicely in a row at front of him.

“This is actually my master piece, to think a beginner would ever be able to buy it. The armor may not fit the desert by design, but the balance will make up for it”

Damn! What a babe… A black armor set. A leather gauntlet with black metal plates sewn together that nearly covered my whole forearm. A long sleeved leather armor with a black metal chest piece sticking out at the middle by a bit like a triangle, still the whole leather armor was covered by black metal other than the sides. The leg armor the shoes, everything was awesome. Last and not least… A blue scarf with the Winter’s Hold decorated design to it…

It was really hard to throw the large axe with the gigantic bear pauldrons… Finally a way to throw it without breaking my posture. This will increase my throw speed tremendously…

But.. “No helmets?”

“No…”

“...”

“What if I get hit on the head?”

“... The scarf is enchanted to protect the head. Don’t underestimate it, it is made out of metal, not garn or wool”

“OOhhh…” I nodded. No helmet fetish?... Well fine by me, makes it easier for me to see the surroundings.

“I sell it for 20 gold”

“14 Gold”

“19 gold and 70 silver”

“14 gold and 60 silver”

“19 Gold”

“14 gold”

“Hey! How did it get lower! 19 gold and 15!”

It kept going for a while until Diamond started to play with the scarf.

Seeking your new home eh?

“...”

He sighed, “... Lets just sell it for 17 gold….”

Heh, “Deal, don’t forget my old armor”

“Damn… that’ll be 15 and 39 silver… You are good at this...”

“Of course I am” My nose grew. Thanks Diamond!

Amount of Money leftTotal: 3 Gold, 94 Silver, 11 Copper

… I am so poor… Maybe I should sell my house.

“Anyways, thanks old man!”

“HEY! I am still around my Twenties!”

“...” I closed the door.

Sigh… Wizard’s shop he said and goldsmith.

… Lets go for the Wizard’s Shop first…

…

“Oh... You again” She said with a frown though it quickly changed to amazement

“Damn, nice armor you got there”

“You think?” I smiled.

“Yeah, you look like a barbarian…”

“...” I sulked.

“Nah anyways, the armorsmith guy said that I should come here because I am a Ice knight?”

“Ah! Wait here” The blue haired girl said and ran back into the room.

Diamond then stuck out from the scarf around my neck… Snuggling.

“I am he… Is that a fairy?!” Her eyes suddenly brighten up.

“Yeah….” What’s up with this fairy wombo combo shock… Are they that rare?

“SOOO CUTE!” She said, using [Blink] out of the counter with a teleport spell and grabbed her…

“Staph!” Diamond said, struggling to get out of those sudden soft hands.

Though, the cute aura that shone brightly out of them caught every boys attention… The wizard kept snuggling with Diamond to those warm and red cheeks of hers… I want to be there… Really, I want to...

Anyways…”Enough” I said, trying to stop her to repay my kindness, but … I got ignored.

“So what was it that you had for us?” I asked, arms crossed.

“Well, I have this Class item ring for you” She said, smiling but still snuggling with Diamond.

“Master, save me!”

“Oh, how much would you sell it for?” I said, avoiding eye contact with Diamond.

“Since you let me see a Fairy that I thought that I would never see in my lifetime… FREE!”

She cutely held out some kind of icy ring. Picking it up, I inspected it.

Heh, Nice…

“Anyways, I am off then, keep the fairy” I said, picking her pointy hat off and patted the warm and silky hair of the petite girl.

“Really?”

“Master!” Diamond pleaded with tears.

“Nah, just kidding. But what’s your name by the way?”

“I’m Liezel, why you ask?”

To use it against your master for free identification, hahahahaha!

“I don’t know, I am Tony by the way, may we meet again, apprentice wizard”

…

Okay… Now the Goldsmith…What a busy day.

Wait.. I forgot to ask who her master was… Meh…

…

Opening the door to the Goldsmith store, filled with accessories insides glass boxes for display. I said “Hi” to a old grandma.

“Ah, Hi son, anything you need?”

“Well… The Armorsmith said that you had something for a fairy”

“Oh, my grandson did? Give me a second” She said and searched for something under the counter.

But grandson? Heh…

"Here” She said, placing a golden bracelet on the table as she dusted it off…

Trying to inspect it, the grandma stopped me with her hand as her eyes glimmered with excitement, “I want to see your fairy first”

“Oh right, Diamond, come out”

Sticking her head out for the third time out of the scarf, the grandma then fell on her knees with tears… Eh… Please don’t make me cry to...

“Ah… A fairy… My childhood dreams has come true”

“Want to play with her?” I said, as Diamond hovered around the old lady.

“Ah, no.. But thanks, you can have the bracelet for free anyway… It’s getting old inside the counter…” she said, brushing her tears off.

“Thanks… I guess” I answered, avoiding eye contact, because of the tense atmosphere.

“Cya!” I said, turning around, face burning and ran from the scene with the bracelet as Diamond followed me.

…

Sitting on the bench in town square illuminated by the strong sun, I sighed.

Phew… Anyways, gotta inspect it.

Found in a river by a talented goldsmith or young girl of the past. She firmly believed that fairies existed, no one believed her…Protect the fairy in exchange for durability

“...”

“Old lady…” No wonder the Armorsmith sold the armor for such an cheap price… He barely won anything out of it… Should cost around 30 gold at most.

Shaking my head to remove my thoughts, I threw the bracelet to the air “Diamond, catch!”.

In lightning speed, Diamond flew upwards from the scarf and caught the golden bracelet that started to shrink in size until it fit nicely on her arm. Whao…

“Well, lets go then Diamond?”

“Yeah… To the desert, the Walking Sands”

Standing up from the bench surrounded by citizens and buildings, I stretched proudly, inhaled the cold and chilly air, took a last look on the grand fort and walked on the snowy cobblestone towards the gate.

Though… When I arrived, a group of players gathered around a npc.

“Recruiting adventures for a expedition!

“If interested, details on paper here!” He said with a ton of papers stacked on the table at front of him with adventures grabbing one each.

The recruiter kept repeating the announcement.

…Did the general and his troops fail a few days ago? Probably… I should take a look…

Walking towards the recruiter, the newbies in awe opened a path for me… Heh, bless my armor noobs!

As I was about to step inside I got pushed aside.

“Move! The general is here” A soldier said at front of me, as I stood there watching.

“...” So.. RUDE! At least just let me walk there first with a warning...

“Ah, yes… Sorry” I bowed and stood together with the newbies… You win this time… Next time… It will be my axe you’d be talking to!

“So, these are the adventures coming for the expedition?” The general said, clad in high leveled armor.

Around 100 players stood there nodding in a row as I stood there confused.

“We are moving in a hour! Get ready by then!” He said, proudly with his back straightened and hands behind.
