Thanks for the !

Lightening streaked the sky as thunder followed. Clouds of grey and white meshed on the horizon as rain began to pour heavily towards the earth. As droplets hit your head your mindset was stuck in bullet time. You heard nothing but could see everything in slow motion, thousands of soldiers plunged towards the Basteel; the strong hold of Team Gratitude. You were meant to protect it but fear kept you paralyzed. All you could do was stare. You want to move but mostly you wanted to run. A ladder had propped it’s self a few feet from the edge you stood near. An enemy vaulted up and over towards you, his sword raised high in the air and meant to deliver a fatal crushing blow. Apart of you wanted it to be over; the journey to make it hear had been so long. It was so tiring and time consuming that you couldn’t recall the last time you knew what day or time it was; ‘Thanks for the fave’ was all it took to get you hear, a seemingly harmless gratitude for favoring a piece at Mobis-New-Nest but at this point you wished you could have undone all of it. You close your eyes and wait for the blade to pierce flesh and bone but it was not meant to be as your whole body pushed aside abruptly and in that instant you opened your eyes as you began falling sideways; you caught a glimpse of pistol that blasted twice with two bullets piercing the man with the sword through the abdomen and he fell back to his death. As you looked to see who you rescuer was a medium built man wearing a beautifully decorated vest with ivory colored long sleeve shirt, tight dark pants, silver like sandals and a large pistol he held out towards the vicinity of the man he just killed. He rose, putting out his hand to you “I never thought it would end this way Baltheir” you say as you look up to him and begin to whimper “End? This is not the end. Death is just another path, one that we all must take but until then the curtain rises and we each take our role and must play our roles well for the audience” said Baltheir. You half smile, wipe away the tears and take his hand “Here take this” said Balthier as he handed you a weapon and scroll “What’s this?” you ask “A request for my dear friend The Rock, if you could be so kind as to deliver it to him, I am sure this time you won’t wander off into La La land or perhaps this time I should flog you instead of saving you?” Said Balthier as he winked at you with smile. He left you to do your deed as he fended off enemies around him. You run while dodging and subduing enemies in your path and you finally make to The Rock on the west side of Basteel. You hand him the parchment. He reads it and grins “What does it say?” you ask “Stand back jabroni and feast your eyes on this” says The Rock as he turns his back to you and rubs his elbow with his hand “I don’t get it? Feast my eyes on what? You ask. The Rock turns towards you with one eye brow raised and replies “The Peoples Elbow”
