{  ​GC 4 Life  ​}

          Back when I was in middle school, I wasnt the most popular kid around.  I wasnt a wierd or odd looking, creepy or rude. I was just me, but people seem to keep to themseleves...you know stick with their own friends.  Me though, i shouldn't complain beacuse when it came to sticking with friends I had some of the best, some of which i still have today, but this story is not about me, at least not directly, and it's not about other people and their friends. Its about us the three, how we came to be, and why back then, we could be defined through a game called Grand Chase, as Chasers, and more in depthly friends.

         The story begins with a guy who's IGN would be known on Grand Chase as "MistressUme". Back when i met "Ume", i would say we were anything close to friends. In fact, it seemed like we were total opposites, Ume was a brute, very strong, but very thick headed as well, as to be in his nature when coming from an area when if u didnt know how to fight in real life, you wouldnt live to see the next day with a smile on youyr face and all your teeth. Ume wasnt dumb though, despite the attitude of a brute, Ume has the heart of true honor. Which I'd soon find out, when he got into a fist fight with my other friend, one who's IGN would be seen as Marth161.  Now, Marth was like me for the most part. quite somewhat shy, didnt have alot of friends, but valued the one's he did have. I guess thats why we were friends since 2nd grade. But even i was scared that day Marth and Ume had their brawl, they day that Ume, the street fighter, met his match evenly i might add. Ume never thought anyone could block that punch like Marth did. and after that they never fought again, because in that moment, in that one clash of soon to be rivals, respect and value was born.

         Speeding along to a few months later, Ume has found some friends. The so called "popular" group of students at our school at the time. The Ume was with "in-crowd", I knew something was up. Making friends a  few days most people cant do, especially when coming from another school, and then becoming instantly popular...i was not buying it. But, that was not what aroused my suspician. Though Ume had some new "friends" and was popular, Ume did not like happy.  So one day in the lunch room that same year as Ume's friends dicthed to go  outside to play and do stuff they were not suppose to be doing, plus not even bothing to notice Ume wasnt behind them, I suddenly approched. I asked Ume "are you okay?",  while staring ackwardly at the floor like mumbling  like knowing what to do next was a choice between life and death. Ume then responded, while turning around toward the door, "Um, I'm going outside, to be with my.. my...". I finished his sentence with a question, "freinds...?" I made him and offer saying, "why dont you come sit at our table? We have plenty of room." Ume stared quietly, thinking of the options in play, as the so-called "freinds" soon return. Mind them, its almost the end of lunch time,  and all they can do is tell Ume to "hurry up!" Then, Ume says something that made me smile that would  define our kinship from that point on. Ume replys, "no you go on ahead im go sit with my real friends".

            Best of friends from that day on, me(magicwavexyz), MistressUme, and Marth161.  Soon after Ume found game. An online game, perfect for our first sumer experiance, and this game which we've played from the day Ume told us about it until 8 years later, will be always be respected, loved, and known as "Grand Chase: Save the World".  This wonderful game bk then was just for us. Just a way to past the time into the next hour". And for the rest of that school year and slowly into the summer we played G.C. every day. We'd rush home just to see if their was any new content for us to obtain or new stuff learn about. Little did we know that this game would one day save our freindship. Until that day...a day that will live on in our lives forever.  The day that fate decided "they are having too much fun. Its time to SEPERATE THEM!!"  

            That day its was like lightening hit, and which each strike, another friend was lost. They say lightening never strikes the same place twice, right? Well it hit our friendship two times for sure because on that dreaded day...due to wide and indierct circumstances, both my best friends moved away. "Marth" moved up and across town to somewhere unknown to me, and Ume moved even further away. Ume moved three towns over. Both my best friends were gone with no sign of ever coming back. To make matter's worse, none of us had cell phones at the time, or any sort of contact info to keep us connected. We never thought it was needed living so close together and in the same town.  We didnt even get a chance to register each other on our Grand Chase's friend's lists. Tthen, it happened. In the middle of the sumemr time, around late July, itwas like destiny was on our side again, we all just happened to log onto Grand Chase at the same time, entering the same room, all on the same day!!!!! It was like miracle had be fallen our trio of fiends. We were Reunited once more, and after exchanging contact info we solidified the unity!

           So from that day on, we play Grand Chase together. We got stronger, we teamed up, we battled side by side, and we expanded our trio of friends through Grand Chase itself. And 8 years later, in G.C,'s dying days of old, we are proud to call ourselves Chasers. Not only cause Grand Chase is a fun game, but beacuse as Chasers we understand that life's chase never end, not even if G.C. does. So we stand tal shed no tears of saddness, and think big, If Grand Chase has taught nothing it has at least taught us that to be a Chaser is to "Be Strong and Fight for Your Rights, And The Rights of Your Fellow Chasers, Because Only A Chaser can Truely Chase Down Their Dreams And Make Them A Reality!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Grand Chase for everything your've done for us. You wont be forgotten. In our Hearts and minds, you will be rememeber always..
