I woke up to a beautiful sunny morning with the constant loud chirping of birds ringing in my ear. I made myself a cup of hot camomile flavoured tea. The taste was terrible and I never drank things like this, but this morning I felt like I wanted a caffeine free drink to wake me up. I made a cup of tea with some Anlene for my mum, cracked a joke or two, played with Bruno (my canine fluff ball) and made my way to my sleek, pink bird. I mounted my big bird and flew like the wind to Ingen Square.

I went past the town area towards the wilderness. There, I saw venomous spiders and people trying their utmost to massacre them. They were shooting light bolts and hitting the attacking spiders trying to defeat them.

To me, they just looked like easy-peasy spiders to defeat. But then, they were not what I was looking for. Oh! What the heck. I got off my bird and aimed at a spider and shot my bolt of thunder. It turned red and started crawling towards me. I waited till it got close and bashed it with my staff. I did that to like twenty spiders.

Basically, I was showing off to the ones who took so long to defeat a spider. Well, there was a time when I was like that. Let’s put it this way. I was encouraging them to be like me.

I was up on my bird again and on my way. A few yards ahead, I saw walking trees. They were actually Corrupted Tree Spirits. I thought, “Oh please, don’t tempt me.!!” But, snap! I was out of my comfy seat and fighting away! These trees, which seemed so hard back then, collapsed in just three shots. Man! I’m good!

I got back on my bird and was on my way again. Instantly, the song “River road” by Crystal Gale came to my mind.

Just a few feet away were the Uruk. “Do I need to fight them? “No”. But I was already out in the fields being a big show off. Then, returning back to bird, we flew away. So, this went on and on and I finished several pirates, bears, evil fishermen, crabs and many more on the way.

I was looking for a monster to complete my quest. When I got there I saw people in higher levels far faster and skilled than me, were finding the monster hard to tackle. How could I possibly defeat him?!?!! I partnered with my friend. Together we tried to defeat it. My friend and I died several times and resurrected in safe places many times. So, we got in more people into our party. We fought and won! Woohoo! But, my friend wanted to fight again and again. Luckily I couldn’t spare a lot of time in the game zone, because I had chores to do in the real world.

So, our trustworthy exhausted birds brought us back to town. Another beautiful eventful joyful adventurous day. Nothing short of an astounding day. That was superb right down to its teasing end.
