Finding Common Ground

Written by Mudrock on Sat Oct 21 2023

Introduction

Well, well, if it isn't Mudrock here. Ready to spill my thoughts onto this digital page and share a little piece of my world with all you folks out there. I've never been much of a writer, but hey, everyone's got their first time for everything.

Reunion Ties that Bind

You know what they say about enemies becoming friends? Turns out it ain't just some fancy saying after all. Here I am now, fighting alongside the very people I once opposed tooth and nail – Rhodes Island. It's funny how life works sometimes.

It wasn't too long ago that me and my band of Sarkaz mercenaries were in the thick of things during the Wolumonde uprising. We fought against Rhodes Island back then; we thought we were doing the right thing by opposing them. But fate has its way of twisting paths together in unexpected ways.

Logos saved me from those Witch King loyalists who wanted nothing more than to see me six feet under. And as they say, when someone saves your hide like that, you can't help but feel indebted to them in one way or another.

Joining Rhodes Island

So here I am today – standing tall on board Rhodes Island's ship alongside fellow survivors from the Mudrock Squad: Folinic and Suzuran are two names worth mentioning here since our lives have become intertwined ever since joining forces.

I made up my mind pretty quick after being rescued by Logos - joinin' R.I was somethin' akin to destiny callin'. After all those years fightin', scrounging through every blasted battlefield huntin' 'em down Infected folk... Well let's just say things look different when you're on their side instead o' standin' against 'em.

Fighting for justice is something that runs deep within these veins o'mine - always has done so - only difference now is that I'm fighting alongside the Infected instead of against 'em.

Finding Friendship in Unexpected Places

Now, let's talk about Folinic and Suzuran. These two ladies are somethin' else – strong-willed, determined, and fierce fighters just like me. It was a strange sight for sore eyes when we first met on board this ship - former enemies turned comrades.

We quickly found common ground though – shared experiences forged by battles fought tooth and nail in Wolumonde. We've come to understand each other better than anyone else could have ever hoped for.

Folinic may be cold as ice sometimes, but beneath that icy exterior lies a heart of gold. She knows what it means to fight for what you believe in; she's seen her fair share of pain and suffering too. Maybe that's why we get along so well – our scars run deep together.

And then there's Suzuran - a true force to be reckoned with. Her healing abilities are second to none; she can mend wounds like nobody else I've ever seen before. But don't let her gentle demeanor fool ya - mess with her friends or threaten the innocent, and you'll wish you never crossed paths with her.

Bonding Over Shared Acquaintances

Grani is another name worth mentionin'. Big Bob introduced us back when he was still around these parts (may he rest in peace). Grani knew him from his days as an Operator here at Rhodes Island; they were acquaintances through thick n' thin, sharin' stories over drinks once upon a time.

It didn't take long before Grani became part o'our little group here aboard R.I.'s ship too. We bonded over memories of Big Bob while also makin' new ones together out there on missions left'n right.

Conclusion

So there ya have it folks: Mudrock settlin’ into life aboard Rhodes Island, fightin' for the Infected instead of against 'em. Who woulda thought I'd be here today, standin' shoulder to shoulder with former enemies turned comrades? Life sure knows how to throw some curveballs.

But hey, that's what makes it all worth livin', right? Findin' common ground in the most unexpected places and making allies outta former foes. Mudrock may have been a Sarkaz mercenary once upon a time - but now she fights alongside her newfound friends and stands tall as part o'the Rhodes Island family.

So if you ever find yourself on board this ship, don't hesitate to come say hello – ya never know who might become your next ally or even friend. Until then, stay safe out there folks!
