ムーングロウ奪回! / Moon Glow Retrieval!

Author: [[UO:]] Published: January 19, 2004



ムーングロウを奪回しようと武器を手に立ち上がった僕らだったが、止むことなく続くオークの襲撃に疲れ果てていた。しかしいつも僕らを率いてオークに戦いを挑んでくれるケンの姿が無い。彼はコーブ近郊のオーク砦を調査にいっているという噂なのだが。

「コーブ近郊のオーク砦から再びオークの軍勢が送りこまれようとしているようだ!」

タウンクライヤーが悲鳴交じりの声で叫ぶ。その声に、あたりに絶え間無く続いていた剣戟の音が一瞬止んだ。見渡せば、いつ終わるともしれない戦闘に疲れ果てた顔、顔、顔。そしてこんな時に僕らを導いてくれるはずのケンはいない。・・・もう、だめなのか?

「冗談じゃねぇ・・・。こんな、こんな形で俺の故郷を失うなんて嫌だ!俺はオーク砦へ行く!オークの企みなんかぶっ壊してやる!」

一人の男の叫びでその場の空気が変わった。武器を構えなおし、ムーンゲートへ走っていく者。後はまかせろ、と街を占拠しているオークに魔法を放つ者。僕も剣を握りなおし、ムーンゲートへと走った。

砦の中では、オークたちが戦闘の準備を整えていた。図らずも奇襲のような形で襲撃した僕らは、苦戦しつつも転送装置らしきものが設置されている場所までたどり着いた。しかしその部屋には結界が張られ、入ることが出来ない。そして部屋の中では一匹の金色のオークが忙しそうに何かの作業をしていた。僕らがその部屋に入れないことを知っているのだろう。そのオークは僕らを嘲るように転送装置の自慢をした後、憎々しげにこう言い捨てたのだ。

「ムーングろウ、オークの街、次の街ゲートつくル。そノ前ニ、俺お前達タオス。」

その後は、まるで阿鼻叫喚の地獄だった。傷つき倒れる者、それを癒そうとする者、金色のオークは爆弾や魔法を駆使し、傷ついた者に確実にとどめを刺そうとする。こちらの攻撃は金色のオークが呼び出した護衛に阻まれて届かない。しかし各地のタウンクライヤーが急を知らせてくれたのだろう、続々と援軍が現れ、ついに金色のオークも地に伏す時が来た。

その時、熱気に包まれているはずの砦の中を、何か冷たい空気が通った気がした。転送装置の部屋の中を見ると、そこには無残にも切り刻まれ、朽ち果てた亡骸が吊るされていた。側には見覚えのあるパイク。あれは、あれはもしかして?不安とざわめきが僕らの間に広がっていく。そして、亡骸の前に透き通った見覚えのある人影が現れた。

「さあ・・・後はやつらの企みを・・・叩き壊すだけだ・・・」

人影はそう呟き、剣を転送装置に振り下ろした。激しい爆発と共に転送装置は破壊され、部屋の結界も消えた。しかし同時に人影も薄れ、消えてしまった。あの人影は任務を果たすためこの世に留まったケンの亡霊だったのだろうか?僕らにそれを確かめる術は無いが、誰からとも無く亡骸に黙祷を捧げた。

こうしてオークの企みは阻止され、ムーングロウは平和を取り戻した。しかし忘れてはいけない。この平和のために命を捧げた人々がいたことを。そして、本当の闇はまだ去ったわけではないのだということも。


It was us who stood up with weapons in order to recapture Moon Glow, but we were exhausted by the continuing orc raid without stoppage. But there is no figure of Ken who always leads us and challenges the orcs to fight. It is a rumor that he is going to investigate Fort orc near Cove.

"It seems that the orc's army is about to be sent again from orc fort near Cove!"

Town cry screams with screaming voices. In the voice, the sound of swordsmanship which was constantly continuing around was stopped for a moment. Looking over, the face, face, face that was exhausted from the battle that might end. And there is no Ken who is supposed to lead us at such times. ... Is not it already enough?

"I'm not joking .... I do not want to lose my hometown in this way! I will go to orc fortune! I will destroy the orc's plans!"

The scene of one man changed the air on the spot. He who restores his weapons and runs to the moon gate. Let's leave behind, those who cast magic on the orc that occupies the city. I also grasped the sword and ran to the moon gate.

In the fort, the orcs were ready for battle. We attacked in a way like a surprise attack by themselves, although we struggled, we reached where we seemed to be transfer equipment. But the room has a barrier and can not enter. And in the room one golden orc was doing something to be busy. I do not know that we can not enter the room. That orc bragged about us, after boasting of the transfer equipment, he hatedly abandoned it.

"Moong Row, the city of orc, next town gate building Mr. Sono in front of me, you me Taos."

After that, it was just like a hell of an apology. Those who are injured or fallen down, those who try to heal it, golden orcs make use of bombs and magic and try to pierce the bruises surely to those who are injured. The attack here is blocked by the escort called by the golden orc and will not reach. But the local townclerers informed us of the sudden, reinforcements appeared one by one, and finally the golden orc came down to the ground.

At that time, I felt something cold air passed through the forts that should be wrapped in hot air. When I looked inside the room of the transfer device, there was unbearably chopped, and a decayed fleet was hung. On the side there is a familiar pie. That, is that possibly? Anxiety and noise are spreading among us. And a transparent personality appeared in front of the dead body.

"Now ... afterwards it's only to destroy the plot of the bat ... ..."

The people shuffled and swung down the sword to the transfer device. With the severe explosion the transfer equipment was destroyed and the barrier of the room also disappeared. But at the same time the shadow faded away and disappeared. Is that a ghost of Ken who stood in this world to fulfill his duty? There is no technique for us to confirm it, but we dedicated a silent prayer to the dead without anyone.

In this way the orc 's plot was stopped and MoonGrow regained peace. But do not forget. What happened to people who dedicated their lives for this peace. And also that the real darkness has not passed away yet.
