I'll try to post this the best I can, first let me fill you in a little. it's now been over a yr I haven't played GW1 or 2 with my little buddy, He was a very sick kid exactly how old I don't know his mom asked if I not give out he name heck I didn't know it for almost a year. I first met Danny (not his name but a nick name I gave him) in GW1 helping him in the oddest hours but it seem to help him and take his mind off of the pain. after about 3 months I had to speak with his mom to clear him to get on Ventrilo at the time. his mom would have speakers on in his room to monitor our conversations. after about 3 to 4 months she gave me the ok to speak with her son. then GW2 came out and Danny got it but couldn't play because I needed an big upgrade or new system. Well about a year later I got and installed GW2, we played one still and finally the day came GW2 first few nights he made himself sick because not sleeping I gave him my house number and told him to call 1st time let it ring one time, then call again let ring 2 times and the third ring I'll pick up(he had his number blocked) we had a great time until I hadn't seen him in game his character hadn't been played for almost 30 days when one day got a in game letter giving me a phone number down in riverside it was his mom he had passed away and she wanted to thank me for being a friend to a sick child and I told her no the honor was all mine thank you for letting me be a part of his life, I deleted everything off my systems that had him on it, and last Saturday this boy about 12 years old came to my door and asked me is my name Ron Bollinger I said yes he gave me an envelope it was dated about 5 to 7 days before his passing, I had to rewrite it cause some of the spelling and the names had to be corrected but this is his story of his friend Noriega. Thank you Danny I love you and you'll always be in my heart and on my mind so here it goes
Noriega the Brave
I’m Noriega the Brave
Balthazar- the God of War blessed me when I was young. Though troubled may follow me, I overcome it with my Dignity
I grew up among the Nobility, I value Honor. I’ve made something of myself; the only thing I regret is not searching for my true parents.
I’m a Warrior, and I wear a Spangenhelm on the battlefield, Because of Thor, I am nearly Invulnerable.
This is my Story
Wandering through countries, and crossing many seas. In search of the one true King. One of Honor, Wisdom and Loved by his people.
Below are the events of what happens to Noriega the Brave and how he found his King.
Noriega traveled over land and seas searching for where he belongs. While walking in the winding cave Noriega came upon an Ancient Spirit of a Great Warrior from long ago his name is Elequin and there were also some markings couldn’t read it seems this great warrior may not be from this world. They walked out of the cave and night was upon them, they made camp and talked thru night. The sun came up Noriega had breakfast they walked and talked. Noriega said to Elequin where you going next? Elequin turned to Noriega and told him. Thor has sent me to teach you our ways and when it’s time I will return for you and have you take your place in Valhalla. Yes you are Human but 3oo years ago one of your grandfathers was my Father, Noriega says then you are my Uncle, yes a grand Uncle so to speak. We have to become one so we are part of each other my soul and your soul will become one. Noriega replied “I’m ready” and with that a beam of light shot down and surrounded both of them and then a flash, it was done, they have become one.
As Noriega was walking over mountain peak, Noriega sees a very nice Kingdom it has to be larger than Lions Arch. Noriega is walking down this path when all of a sudden this Woman jump’s from of a tree and tackles Noriega, She’s laughing and as Noriega looks up he sees her face, and just starts laughing too. He yells out Magick what the hell are you doing here, she tells him of a great kingdom and that he should join his Army, Noriega says I’ll stay for a while and check out this place.
Then Magick told him about the tournament this week maybe he’ll be crowned tournament champion. The Tournament starts there are Knight’s from all over the lands as Noriega enters the arena eyes lock on the warrior none have seen the armor this warrior has on, special markings no one understands or can read what they mean. The Events are coming to a close and the last two warriors approach Noriega and Magick, Magick yells out I am not going to let you win, Noriega answers I wouldn’t think so, Good luck Magick. The battle began. It seem to endless when finally Noriega found the spot and took it Magick fell and Noriega was the Victor. The King announces the winner, “I King Foghladha hear by proclaim Noriega The Brave Tournament Champion” The people roar his name Noriega, Noriega, Noriega. That night at the banquet The King asks Noriega to sit with him, Midway thru dinner The King asks Noriega to join him and be part of his Kingdom, Noriega accepts. As the days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. A has pasted, Noriega gets a summons from the King. Noriega rushes to the King, He enters the Throne Room, there he sat King Foghladha, The King noticed Noriega as he enters, King shouts “Noriega Welcome my friend my Champion.” Noriega kneels the King motions for Noriega to rise, The King asks Noriega will you be one of my Knights of my table, here at the House of Gaiscioch. Now Noriega has found his King now only thing left was to make his mark in the Halls of Valhalla. During the next few years completing mission after mission and quest after quest, Noriega make some friends along the way there was Shadow Arathrone Elite Ranger and Scot O’Erin Guardian of Scotland, then came Curly the Engineer the Norn that loves fire who would have guessed, And Lady Sinner Mesmer origin unknown but the team loves her skill of portal is a god send. They all hang out together the six of them. When other Knights would see them coming they would kneel in respect and they were the best of the best. And on the 10th year Noriega was summoned to the King, and the King had the grand ball room filled with Friends and Noblemen from all over the lands, to Honor Noriega. As the banquet started everyone was eating and drinking, when the King stood and shouted Noriega please come this way they both turned Noriega followed behind the King and the King turned and Noriega Kneeled
And King Foghladha the starts his speech,
I King Ethan Foghladha IV
Of the House of
Gaiscioch
Bestow the title of “Sir Knight” Noriega The Brave
Elite Warrior
Champions of Champions
Defender of the Faith
Protector of the Crown
King Ethan Foghladha IV
And
The House of
Gaiscioch.
Noriega says “I will to the death” the King says Rise Sir Knight Noriega The Brave. As Noriega stands and turns. Everyone in the room clapped and cheered and again called out his name NORIEGA, NORIEGA, and NORIEGA!!! When all of a sudden a beam of light shined on Noriega surrounding him and everyone had close their eyes for a little bit when a loud rumble and a roar came from above it was Elequin he spoke “Noriega The Brave you have finished your quest and you’ll be seated with the elder’s of the Halls of Valhalla” and then silence another rumble and Elequin spoke once more and said “Here Noriega take this sword it was your Grandfather‘s he would like you to have it. Noriega accepts the sword “Eternity” and Elequin turns to Noriega and bows and says “Goodbye Noriega see you in Valhalla” and the light fades out… And a new chapter is about to start……
