I consider this world to be my first since not two months into World 9, there was the announcement for the world reset. Already plans were being made for the new world and I somehow found myself in a discord server with many people I didn't know, one being Dani. Soon the new world came and our small band of people survived the Dark Crashes of the First Day. Blightown was founded and abandoned once its purpose fulfilled. My first village, Red Abyss, followed Dani west from Blightown and settled south of the to-be capital city. For circumstances I won't go into here, I left that village to help Dani and Ale build Aurora. They both welcomed me and I gradually took on more of the mundane tasks like butchering and tanning. We developed a strong bond that's held us together as the world grew older. Even now we talk and play games other than Haven together. Dani and I became great friends and I wouldn't trade his friendship for anything. When discussion of a queen arose, I didn't really pay it any attention except for a few comments. But it wasn't a complete surprise when Dani asked if I would like to be queen. I still felt extremely flattered that he chose me over the other more active candidates. I graciously accepted and we started to plan it in secret. Closer to the predetermined date, the invitation was sent out on the forum and discord. The city buzzed with excitement as people were coming to Aurora to acquire the charter for easy travel for the day of the wedding. Dani and I were very excited as the day drew near. Before we knew it, we were throwing food desperately on the tables the morning of. The day went by fast and before we knew it, the wedding was over. BUT we had forgotten to say our vows during the ceremony. Quickly, Dani ran to get the pot and the strawberry and we performed the snippet in front of the remaining party goers. Then, the next day, everything went back to normal.
Occasionally I look back to that time and remember the fun we had and I'm very thankful that I got to spend it with my good friends. I do get sad that it couldn't be longer but that's life. Good things can't last forever so make the best of them and try not to be too sad when they pass. Before I get into another lengthy passage, I present my gift to Dani for his friendship.
