It all started two nights ago, Triia and I had been talking about the screenshot hunt contest, and I had the bright idea it would be a good idea to try it. I had found the perfect screenshot to test it out too, so I gave Triia a hint, and off we went, to the Pockmark Flats. To find this.
Now, the hint I gave her steered her in this direction, but she questioned it, the sky and ground didn't seem like the right color. I merely said I wasn't going to say anything else. After a while of running around, and Triia's frustration growing, and me not helping matters, then I get that unholy Err=7. So, I came back and told her she was in the right zone, at least.
I was so sure, I had a distinct memory of taking that screenshot in the Pockmark Flats, Triia kept looking there, mentioning she was sure it was in Diessa Lowlands, and I kept telling her it was in Pockmark. I'm not sure how long this went on for, but my confidence that I had the right spot waned, and I admitted I wasn't so sure anymore. I had no idea what those words would lead me to, Triia's anger was great, and I felt terrible. She went to Diessa and found it in minutes, can you see that blazing look of wrath in her eyes? Trust me, it's there.
Back to the guild hall, I felt so bad for wasting so much of her time, and she had every right to be angry with me. This was only the beginning. I was then commanded to follow her to the ship, where she, Logo and Delor calmly discussed in what way they were going to kill me. It was as if I were in a terrible nightmare, my friends had not accepted my apology for the incident, they were cold and ruthless, despair washed over me. I felt so ashamed, I couldn't even wear my cape anymore. What I thought was an act of showing how sorry I was, merely angered Triia further.
Sheer pity allowed Triia to spare my life, as she put it, it was "like kicking a cowering puppy." Not so flattering for me. After all this betrayal, I was expected to get up, and work my way back into her good graces. It didn't seem fair to me, despair brought me to my knees again.
I fled the ship, my sight clouded by sadness, I stumbled my way out of the village and out into the wilderness.
Triia followed me, and eventually cornered me in the Puddle of Destiny. It was there the quest was issued.
I was to find the The End of Nowhere, only then could I be forgiven. I was given a hint: "Search for the nexus of my powers, where my mind has no limits" along with this screenshot. I noticed the title of the screenshot, so I had a lead, Aurora Glade.
After many hours of exploring, in the mission, in the town, and with my good friend google. I had found it. I was quite proud of my persistance, despite the late hour for myself and Triia and Logo, who were constantly torturing me with their banter on ventrilo.
When I sent them the screenshot, their response was utter silence. In fact, there was only some nonsense about whales and how long it took me.
I became a bit hostile after this, and there was some threats on Logo's life. I mean, they had been prepared to kill me just a night ago, I was bewildered and hurt.
In the end it all worked out. I had gained Triia's forgiveness, which was the only thing that really mattered.
The moral of the story, don't anger Triia, even if it was accidental.
