( Terra Nova Online, The DarkSky Guild Headquarters )
A soft smile spread on Cervantez’s face when he saw Luke entering his office, the next day after their fight.
He had been feeling anxious over the past 24 hours regarding his decision to confront Luke with harsh words, however, seeing him voluntarily walking into his office today, Cervantez felt a bit at ease.
“So….I assu you have cald down” Cervantez said, as Luke nodded his head in acknowledgent.
He was indeed calm now, and had moved past the verbal spat that the two had yesterday.
“Good, before we start talking, I must say that I am sorry for the words that I spoke yesterday.
So of them were purely out of anger and said in bad taste, so I hope you can forgive , SkyLion” Cervantez said, as Luke extended his hand with a soft smile on his face.
*Clap*
Cervantez shook his hand energetically, feeling happy that the two of them could move past their differences.
“So, did you deliver the news to your brother? How did he receive it? I’m sure it would not have been an easy conversation…” Cervantez inquired, as Luke shook his head from side to side, waving his hand to show that the statent that Cervantez made was vaguely correct but not entirely.
“Not really, he did not seem to care about the DarkSky guild as a whole. He was just disappointed in .
He said it did not matter if the DarkSky guild joined him or not, he possesses the confidence to crush us with ease” Luke said, as Cervantez clenched his palms with rage as he heard this sentence.
“Crush us with ease he said? Well well well, isn’t that interesting?” Cervantez said, smashing his fist on the table, as he seed pretty riled up by that statent.
“Your brother is a great player no question, but if he thinks he can take down the number one guild in the ga with ease. He’s wrong–” Cervantez said, as he found himself unable to accept Leo’s light dismissal of the guild.
“Well yes, I don’t think he should underestimate the guild, but I’ve never seen him being wrong before.
So…. Yeah, I don’t think he’s foolish in his assessnt either” Luke said, as Cervantez threw his hands up in disbelief.
“I know he’s your brother SkyLion, but the bias in your words is unreal. We are the number one guild in the world, or do you not believe it?” Cervantez asked, as Luke let out a deep sigh when faced with this question.
“I do believe we are the number one guild and trust when I say this, that I’m probably one of the few people who loves this guild like it’s my own baby. However, although I love this guild, I don’t feel like I can be a part of it anymore” Luke said, as his words took Cervantez by surprise.
“Y-you? What?” Cervantez asked, his face bewildered, as steeling his resolve, Luke spoke the words he had rehearsed several tis before coming to this office.
“I am very grateful for all that you have done for , Guildmaster, as without you I would have been unable to beco the player that I am today.
And in return, I have also helped you make DarkSky guild into the giant that it is today, taking my role as the Vice-Guildmaster with the utmost sincerity.
However, I don’t feel comfortable with the guilds recent decision to take on my brother and while it maybe the best decision for the guild, I want no part of it.
Leo is my blood brother, and I cannot willingly take up arms against him.
Hence, I have decided to resign from my position as Vice-Guildmaster and I intend to leave the guild today” Luke said, as Cervantez was stunned into silence as he heard those words.
For a while, he couldn’t open his mouth at all, as words started to fail him.
Internally, he was a mush of panic, anger and betrayal, however, externally he remained completely stoic.
He felt panicked, because Luke was literally the backbone of the guild.
He was the chief scout, the chief strategist, and was extrely efficient in internal managent as well.
It was impossible to find soone of his caliber that the guild could trust fully, which was why his loss was imnse.
Secondly, Luke was also a brand ambassador for the guild. He was a high profile ranker who had a massive following of his own as the ‘Suplex Demon’.
His exit from the guild was bad PR, as it would raise both external and internal questions, given how popular he was both internally and outside the guild.
He also felt angry at Luke because he felt that Luke’s decision to quit the guild after everything he had done for him was incredibly selfish.
Luke was a nobody when Cervantez scouted him, and although he only did so because he was aware of Luke’s potential, he did help Luke beco the man he was today.
Lastly, he felt betrayed, as he believed Luke was his closest and best friend in the whole world.
The guilds na ‘DarkSky’ ca from a rger of their two nas DarkEmperor and SkyLion, and him quitting now was an insult to that bond.
However, despite the whirlwind of emotions within him, Cervantez did not express any of it externally, and only extended his hand like a gentleman.
“Very well, if you’ve already made your mind then, I’ll accept your resignation” Cervantez said, as he stripped Luke of his rank and position within the guild the mont the two shook hands.
Gone were the imperial blue robes that were marked with the sigil of ‘DarkSky’ as Luke was removed as a mber, leaving him as nothing more than a solo player.
“Until next ti then” Luke said, taking his leave, as oddly he did not feel heavy while making his exit.
Instead, he felt quite relieved, as although this was a tough decision to make, sohow he knew it was the right one.
