A Tale of Windurstian Love: Part 1

      “Where’s Eve? Didn’t she teleport with us?” wondered the dim yet lovable White Mage Hume. The older Taru Taru couple that accompanied him shrugged their little Taru shoulders in confusion. “Don’t you know where she is Guy? She’s YOUR girlfriend after all”, questioned the high level Taru Black Mage. Guy rubbed the snake markings on his cheeks, recalling that out of a gentlemanly act, he let Eve talk to the Taru teleporter in Windurst Walls first. Warlocke and his fiancé Mystique then closely followed behind her, who just so happen to be the Taru couple he is currently double dating with. Lastly, he himself was teleported to Port Windurst, where everyone was accounted for, minus the love of his life. “If we all went through the portal, and wound up here, but Eve didn’t…”, pondered Guy as he grabbed his face in shock, “…. Then she must have been teleported into the 5th dimension!” Guy gasped as his hands were sliding down his face due to a burst of perspiration.
       “Don’t be ridiculous!”, the cute and sagely Mystique calmly explained. “No Taru has the power to travel between dimensions, especially not that teleport flunky Komulili.”
“Yes”, said Warlocke agreeingly to his better half “It’s more likely she was teleported into the sun!”, Warlocke said with assurance. At this point, Guy could not muster a word as his eyes started bulging out of his head due to the lack of oxygen reaching his lungs. His knees buckled under the weight of his heavy soul, as he tearfully chewed on his mage’s robe. “It…. It… it was supposed to be a shortcut!”, bellowed Guy as he pictured his love angrily fly towards the sun, cursing the day she met him. “A Shortcut!”
        Warlocke and Mystique exploded with laughter as they gestured Eve was standing right behind the traumatized Guy the whole time. Just then Warlocke’s inviso spell wore off, revealing a beautiful, giggling mithra waving her cute tail in her hand. “Did you miss me sweety?”, the mithra Red Mage said with a wink. Guy was overcome with happiness and utter humiliation to see his Kitty standing only inches away from him. “I knew that!”, exclaimed Guy as his snake symbols emitted a large reddish hue, “I was just playing along is all!” The females stood laughing as Guy chased the Taru prankster around on top of the Orastery roof of Port Windurst, hoping to add him to his death list.

        The small group was excited to go on their first real double date, and with people they had been already acquainted with from the linkshell. But as they descended down the stairs of the Orastery, what would happen that they should run into yet another familiar face! “Hey Ken I almost didn’t recognize you without a pile of harab tails in your hand.” his best friend Guy joked as he waved towards him.
“Yo, ‘sup ppl!”, voiced the Taru Black Mage apprentice as he gave Guy the secret handshake. “I’m huntin’ wabbits!”, he replied jokingly to Guy. Having been a stranger to all but his best bud, Guy promptly introduced everybody, and explained to Ken that they were going on a double date. This puzzled the young silver-hair Taru as not only did he failed to see the significance of forming a group outside of leveling, skill capping, or gil farming, but he never thought Guy would have gone soft. Guy simply explained that he has found true love, and his thieving days was behind him. He went on to say that there may be a special someone waiting for Ken too.
        Ken shook his big Taru head in pity as he looked upwards to Guy, “I won’t be pwned by some grrl” the ph3arfully L33t Taru proudly stated, “If NEthing, I’ll probably have 2 or 3 mithra honeys with me!”
Eve, slightly offended replied with a little sarcasm “And just what do you plan to do with three mithra ‘honeys’? ” The ultra cool Taru replied as he was about to leave with 2k of Guy’s “starter money” in his hands “It’s like this u c” he explained, "grrls are like EXP CHAINs, the more you hook up, …… the better it gets!” The Taru female and mithra had an insatiable urge to roll their eyes as their fiancé, and boyfriend laughed heartily at Ken’s remarks. “C u l8tr ppl”, he said quickly as he rushed off to the Auction House buy some new armor.

       The first stop on the date was Eve & Guy’s special place romantically located in the heart of Windurst; the gargantuan living tree known by the natives as “Heaven’s Tower.” The tree itself seemed to be happy with the lover’s presence as the falling pollen glimmered and glowed around the group, with “theme to Final Fantasy” solemnly playing in the background by a Elvaan bard. The flower lamps seemingly grew brighter as the party passed each one on the way down the long curving staircase.
The date consisted mostly of running around, telling jokes and stories of love, taking pictures, and just enjoying each other’s company. One memorable moment was when the high level White Mage Mystique and her husband-to-be decided to give the young couple a Taru magic show. The colors of the magic bounced off the flowers and leaves in the tree’s downstairs’ garden. They radiated with countless shade of white, red, and purple originating from the Protectra, Barpoisona, and Aquaveil spells. The young Red and White mages decide to join in on the fun and made the walls dance with an array of colors by casting cure, barstona, and the crowd pleasing Benediction magic. Although impressed, the Taru lovers were not to be outdone, as the powerful Barthundra, Protectra II, and Curaga II joined together flooding the trees, and ponds of water, the walls, and even the ceiling in a sea of mana.
        The group felt as if they were swimming as they witnessed their surroundings flowing with all the colors of the rainbow. Mystique stood closely to Warlocke, the power of their little Taru hands grasped together, gazing up at their spells bursting in a million spectacular sparkling lights. Eve too, could not deny her rapture as she held the hand of the only man she could ever share this marvelous event with. Guy however, did not notice any of this, for his eyes were always fixated on his true love. He watched as the sparkles turned her eyes countless shades of the color spectrum, and the mana discharge falling unto her beautiful red hair, like glitter. That’s when he realized that love must be the greatest magic spell of them all.
