Journal of an Alchemist (1)

Written by FireLeo86 on August 13, 2010

Today is the day! As I write this entry, my loyal pet Griffin is taking me away from Dunbarton and towards Taillteann! Finally, my dreams of becoming an Alchemist will become realized! I will no longer have to use a sword and shield ever again! Magic is gone for me! Minimal melee combat is heading my way! This is great!

I have spent the past three months running dungeons , doing part time jobs, discovering relics and turning those in, I have finally gained enough cash to afford everything! What shall I do first- should I train that Water Cannon skill that seems interesting? Nothing more like loading crystals into that Cylinder device and then blasting an enemy in the face with water! Or maybe that Wind Blast one, where it knocks enemies back with a weak yet strong gust. Or maybe Golem Summoning! All monsters will have to succumb to the powerful might of my Golem! Stone! Forest! Sulfur! Snow! Yeah! This is going to be great!

I have heard these stories in Dunbarton, however, about stuff going on in Iria. Something about a Dragon's golden egg or something. I don't know. All I know is that I don't care what's going on there, all that matters is what's going on here! Me and my Griffin going to Taillteann to learn Alchemy! This is going to be great! Did I say that already? Doesn't matter, it's going to be great!

Holy shit is this place big! I am actually riding my Griffin as it is flying! I've never seen it fly before, nor have I ever ridden it in flight! But this place is huuuuuuuuuuugggggggggge! Man, if we were on land, it'd take several hours just to reach Taillteann! Flying is awesome, can this day get any better?!

Holy shit did I speak too soon. Upon landing near the lake in Abb Neagh to rest a bit, this giant monster thing rose out of it! Me and my Griffin barely got away from it's reach! But then, guess what? The thing used Water Cannon on us! And it hurt! We were able to get away before taking anymore damage, but fuuuuuuuuuuck, that was dangerous! I'm ready to learn my Alchemy so I can return the favor... bitch.

Taillteann is big! There were farms to the south west, the Stonehenge to the north west, and the west path continued on to Tara! I wonder what Alchemy I might be able to learn from there? Nevermind that though, first order of business- To go to the clothing shop and get myself the proper attire~

After a few hours of trying on different outfits, I found the perfect one~ Teal coat, white shirt, purplish pants. Kinda matches my hair and eyes. After that, I went to the Alchemist's house and met Dorren and Eabha. Dorren is a wrinkly old prune. She sold these crystals that contained Fireball, Thunder, and Ice Spear. Tad expensive. She also sold two different books that were helluva lot of cash! I spent the 50k I had in my wallet buying them both! Talk about expensive! Now Eabha is this kid. Short, brown hair, orange coat. He is an Intermediate leveled Alchemist.

What

How the hell did a kid become an intermediate leveled Alchemist?! Well I'll become that level too! In just a few short weeks~ I bought a Cylinder and a few Water and Wind Crystals. The kid taught me how to use Water Cannon and Wind Blast, as well as teach me Sand Burst. Jerk.

Man, I have all these possibilities! What can I do first? Oh yeah, how about I try these out in this Shadow Mission I got! I need to prep though, so I'll have to conclude this here! Thanks journal!
