The story is taken from my own experience and adaptation from the online video game Guild wars 2
The adventure of marigold
Chapter 1 : A sign of darkness
My name is Marigold Himl, a sylvari, a plant-like race that was awakened from the pale tree, a gigantic sentient tree which is the mother of all sylvaris and whose body forms the basis of our city, The grove. The pale tree awakened me during the cycle of night and the most important thing the ventari teaches me is “all things have a right to grow”. I am an Elementalist, I study all the elements, I wear a water gem that symbolizes my love of water and this is my story.
It was just an ordinary day on adventure with my team, Caim neth the necromancer, master of the dark arts, Aruviel Deeu the Rogue, trickery and foul play are his toy and Heize storm the archer, a marksmanship of the highest quality and her owl pet, it was a very simple mission, escort Gamarien as he scouts the wychmire swamp to find a source of darkness and head back to the camp. But the mission has taken a dark turn. In the swamp, a dark terrible creature has emerged, in the outskirts of the swamp a large blighted growth as tall a husk of the tree that was contaminated by the darkness, show up behind haize storm. “Everyone, stand ready!” said Caim neth while summoning his minions to distract the monster, Haize dashes towards me, increasing the range between her and the monster and start shooting from afar. Then I chant my earth spell “I channel rock and soil! Supportive earth! Rock armor!” the earth near the minion start to rumble and block the enemy attack. While we distract the monster Aruviel vanish and lurk inside the darkness and attack, with his enchanted dagger he strikes a critical blow from the rear dealing severe damage and weakens the monster.
Haize noticed a condensed darkness in its head, assuming it’s the monster weakness she takes a steady aim and shot the condensed darkness. Fractured but not destroyed, she whistles, commanding her owl to finish the job. I attune my element to air then quickly chat my spell “Element of the wind, heed me! Windborne speed!”, a speed enhancing spell I placed to the owl with its devastating speed boost and the owl’s momentum from the sky shattered the condensed darkness in its head and release the monster from the darkness and rest his body. The battle has been won by us. But, when we thought that it was the end, a deafening screech echoes through the swamp.
