A Meeting to Never Forget


    <table><tbody><tr><td> You have entered a safe zone, no monster can spawn inside though they can wander in.</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I freeze as I read the message.


    A safe zone? This is a safe zone?


    I look around at the roofless room i had just climbed into. The walls may have once been amazing but now they were just stones piled upon each other.


    There''s a door?   Why didn''t I go that way?


    Crash!


    <table><tbody><tr><td>You have been hit with a chair and lost 15 hit points.</td></tr></tbody></table>"That''s my head!" I shout before I could think. I turn around to face my attacker.


    Standing behind me a girl. Tall, Very tall.


    She was wielding a chair as a club. I shudder as I looked at the chair.  It was old, so old that it almost  looked like it was deteriorating right before my very eyes. Please tell me that i didn''t get any splinters!


    "You''re the one invading my Base!" she shouts back at me.


    "Oh," I say taking a closer look at her. Olive skin, and very long, very curly, dirty blonde hair tied back into a ponytail.


    "Ya," she replies, lowering her chair for a moment, "I rebuilt it myself."


    "You mean that you fixed it up?" I ask startled.


    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings."Of course, I would never pass someone else''s work off as my own." She says.


    I stare wide eyed at her before turning around and giving the safe zone another look. While it was shabbily made, for a beginner with no experience or tools it was simply ... "Amazing," I whisper.


    "Right!" she says jumping into the room. "I''m Willow Lion, a Builder. What about you?"


    I jump down after her. "Xylia, Ranged." I say setting down my bow.


    She smiles brightly. "Perfect!" Willow clasps my hands, as she says "Will you form a party with me?"


    I blink. What? Perfect how? Oh... "You want me to defend against mobs trying to get in."


    "Yep." she says, "So will you?"


    I shrug, "Why not?"


    "Form Party with Xylia!" She says and a message popped up in front of me.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Willow Lion</td><td>Has asked you to join a party.


    Do you agree?</td></tr><tr><td>Yes</td><td>No</td></tr></tbody></table>"Yes!"


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Congratulations! You have formed a party with Willow Lion.</td></tr></tbody></table>"by the way," I ask, "where did you get that chair?"


    She looks down at the chair she was still holding. She shrugs and drops it before responding, "I found it while I was looking for materials."


    I nod.  Why did she bring it with her then?


    Willow let out a sigh. "I''ve been on for a while so I''m going to log off to get something to eat. Be back soon," she says. "Log out."


    She frowns.


    "What?" I ask.


    She turns to look at me. "I can''t log out."
