The Legend of Love
A true tale of StormRegion and Meyuu.
Every now and then, love and sacrifice can be impossible to differentiate. The chronicle began December 13th, 2004. I just started Ragnarok Online, and was having my fun in the novice training fields. Having absolutely no clue where to go, or what to do, I casually hiked around the region, hoping I could find some porings to confront. After being utterly beaten by a group of them, I looked for a quiet place to unwind and heal. That’s when the party of four walked over to me, and saw that I was having a difficulty fighting. The party leader, Sirenyth, sympathetically asked me to join them on their adventures. Lively and eager I was, I joined them. I finally felt like I had friends and that I was not single-handedly struggling to get by in a massive multiplayer online game. The party was made up of four players; Sirenyth, Jarym, Shadow Vash, and a calm-mannered girl known as Meyuu. I had no interest in finding love, for I was busy worrying about leveling up and becoming an archer. This was my only dream at the time, and I worked very hard to try and achieve my goal. The next day, which was a Tuesday, I logged onto iRO, and became an archer! It was very exciting, and I had a strong will to tell my party about what I did. But, in the long run, my party out-leveled me swiftly, and I was excluded. This was a depressing moment for me. I only had them as my friends, and now it seemed like no one cared about pathetic StormRegion. But, I was wrong. Somebody did care... and it was this very moment that destiny cried my name... and I answered readily. It was Meyuu who was faithful and decided to PM me. After I told her all about what had happened, I assume she departed the party for the same reason. Time past and it was December 20th before I knew it. I had trained my hardest to level up; and it seemed to finally be paying off. Meyuu had been there for me everyday I played Ragnarok Online, and it wondered... I wondered if I wanted Meyuu to be more than just some friend to talk to. After a quick though, I knew I much wanted to be with her, she was perfect in every way that I could have imagined. She was all I asked for, and finally, I got my reply from a little-known thing called fate. It was December 24th, Christmas Eve. I asked Meyuu to meet me in Lutie so that we could exchange Christmas gifts. About ten minutes later, we met up near the colossal Christmas tree. My heart was pounding a hundred times a second; I knew that this would be the time to say it! After she gave me several thoughtful presents, I gave her only one gift. It was a bouquet of flowers that I bought with the only two thousand zeny I had to my name. She paused in a silence and looked hesitant. I told her three words, and those words won’t be forgotten. I love you. It was a phenomenal moment... just me and her under the romance of winter’s first snowfall. For a while... neither of us uttered a word. When things finally got calmer, and the message was clear, Meyuu and I made a commitment that we would get married... someday, somehow... but we would get married. The next day, December 25th, Christmas Day, I clicked the iRO icon on my desktop, and the sign-in screen popped up as usual. I typed in my username, my password, and then clicked OK. Then there was a screen which read: “You have not paid for this account, would you like to pay for it now?” I wanted to click yes, I wanted to play RO, and I wanted to see Meyuu again. But I had no money to pay for the account... so Meyuu and I both spent Christmas Day alone. An entire week later, I paid for the account. The only thing on my mind was that I had to talk to her! I was agonizing that I might not see her ever again! As soon as I logged into RO once again, I PMed Meyuu. We met up on the bridge just above Prontera Capitol. A lot had changed while I was away! Meyuu had become an astounding dancer. For those few minutes I was with her on that bridge, it seemed as if we were the only two on Ragnarok. I gave her another bouquet of flowers, and in return I got an affectionate hug.

Now, it has been quite a long time, and the relationship with myself and Meyuu has gotten stronger. Alas... fate has continued to test me in countless ways. And it has not even begun to be an easy progression. I myself have little to say when it comes to zeny. The fact of it is, I have fewer than twenty thousand zeny. I’m not sure how much Meyuu has saved, but the outlook seems dour. Everyday, I log onto Ragnarok Online and train mercilessly... striving to level up... for Valentine’s Day is approaching, and the only gift I can offer her at this time is that I become a hunter. I long to see her face when we meet up on February 14th, 2005... both of us, standing there together... only dreaming of matrimony. Now I must bring this tale a close, but I have a feeling within me, that someday, somehow, it will be StormRegion and Meyuu together, standing face to face. As I would stand there, gazing into her shining eyes, the priest would say those words... the very words I have ached to hear since December 24th. And when the words, “I know pronounce you husband and wife” are voiced... it will be the utmost memorable moment in my life. Now I leave you, GM Team and the community of Ragnarok Online, but not without saying a last remark first. Every night, as I toss and turn in my bed, I call upon a miracle which will unite Meyuu and me. I cannot foresee the future of my love, but I know that somewhere there is someone watching over me. Whether it is a simple online computer game, or a real life scenario, it makes no difference to me. Love is love, and it does not need physical contact to be love.

So please, GM Team, answer my prayer. This Valentine’s Day is fantastically special to both me and Meyuu, and neither of us desires to spend it like another day on Ragnarok. I am very short on zeny, which I know is a difficulty. But the contest policy states that I was to write a story about why I was getting married, and I have done that. Whether or not you come to a decision to aid me is your decision entirely, and I only wrote this story as a way of letting my feelings out, which I have held back far too long. Even now as I am typing this, a tear comes to my eye and I am trying to hold it back. I sincerely hope you consider my situation. Thank you for your time and please enjoy my story, I truly trust you had a remarkable time reading it, as I had telling it. This is StormRegion, saying goodnight and happy Valentine’s Day to all of you.
