Zeri

"I guess I can understand."  Zeri said to Iri. Then what Iri had said next had confused Zeri a little bit. "I'm stronger in will? What do you mean by that?" Zeri really wondered  by what meant by that. Then Iri explained about how he doesn't remember his family at all and also said that his brother wouldn't explained what happened to his parents. "Maybe he thought you wasn't ready to handle what he told you." Zeri said before he lay down on the grass.

Zeri sat down as he began to think about his question. "Well Iri, I'm not sure how to answer that question. Even though I be by myself, I never truly feel alone. But I guess it might have something to do with not having good connections with the friends that you meet with." Zeri had to think about that for a bit because he wasn't sure if that was a good enough answer. Then Iri explain a little more about why he has a fear of being alone. "Like something is attacking you? Your brother? Maybe we should go talk to him."

"You're getting better Iri." Zeri said to Iri after he landed yet another attack. "Heh, guess I should stop slacking off." Zeri said as he picked up his sword, ready to attack the boar again. He charged at the boar, each to attack it. He brought his sword up and drove it into the boar. The boar squeal as the last bit of its life was drained from it. Then Zeri felt a little better when his <<battle healing>> skill was activated. "Now that's finished, we can rest up for a bit." Zeri said to Iri.

"Iri is doing really great right now." Zeri said to himself as his attack hits once again. Zeri prepared to try to finish the boar off. "Alright. I got this." Zeri said as he charged at the boar. Zeri swung his sword but the boar moved out of the way at the very last second. "I have the worst of luck at the moment right now. Alright Iri, your move."

"Just keep practicing with that sword of yours." Zeri said to Iri. Zeri prepared to attack the boar. He said to Iri in the process, "Sometimes you hit them..." yet Zeri's attack completely missed its target. "And sometimes they don't." Zeri said in disappointment. He ran back to his original spot and said to Iri, "Your turn buddy." "If we can't finish this soon, I'm not sure if we're going to make it out of here in one piece."

"Nice work. It looks like you haven't lost your combat capabilities in your absence. I think if you keep at it you'll do just fine. With some better equipment you might even soon be capable of taking on almost all the currently unlocked quests by yourself."

"I guess that you're right, but it's going to take more than that." Zeri said in response to Calrex's comment. Zeri sheathed his sword and thought about the battle. He thought about how much easier the battle would've gone if he had not been so weak. He also thought about the possibility of being close to Calrex's level. Zeri wanted to get stronger so that he can be at least close to his friend's and rival's(in a good way) level and possibly challenge him to a fight one day.

Zeri then turned around to Calrex and asked him with more determination than anyone in Aincrad could have at the one moment, "I know you won't be available every time because you have your own things to do, but whenever you have some time to spare, can you help me get stronger?"

Zeri watched as Calrex attack the Alpha wolf, which nearly finished it off in only one strike. Zeri then became showered in self doubt once again. "Compared to Calrex, my attack didn't mean anything to it...Why do I have to be so weak..." Zeri said to himself out loud. Zeri knew that Calrex was in a whole other league than he was, but seeing Calrex nearly taking the wolf down with ease really made Zeri doubt his own strength.

"Why..." was the only thing Zeri managed to get out of his mouth before Calrex had asked him to finished that battle. Zeri then picked up his blade and dashed towards the wolf, in hope of finishing the battle. Zeri stabbed the wolf near the exact same spot Calrex had landed his last attacked at, finally killing the wolf. Zeri then noticed that the alpha wolf had dropped sol col and picked it up.

Zeri watched as Iri tried to attack the other boar but failed as he fell over as well. "It's alright Ir-." Zeri's sentence was cut short by a sharp pain from his back. "You damn boar! I make sure I pay you back for that." Zeri said as he got up and tried to attack the boar, but the pain from the last attack had effected him enough so that the boar was able to dodge the attack. Zeri then ran in front of Iri to protect him. Zeri then look at the kid and said, "Attack it and get right behind me, ok?"

Zeri watched as Iri attacks one of the boar (2) and kills it. Iri was excited that he killed the boar as he runs up to Zeri. "Good job!" Zeri said to Iri. "He's putting that weapon to good use already."  Zeri said to himself as he stares down the last boar. It came charging at Zeri.but he could read the boar like a book and knew where to move in order to dodge its attack. He then prepared to attack the boar, but Zeri had misjudged his footing and slipped and fell backwrads to the ground, leaving himself wide open. "Well, that was a little embarrassing." Zeri said out loud.

Zeri watched as Iri grabbed his weapon and equipped it. Iri then hugged Zeri and called him Uncle. Zeri blushed very badly and said to Iri, "I'm...not...that much...older than...you..." Iri was very exicted to try his weapon out, which made Zeri very happy. Iri had then spotted some boars to fight and ran off, but he didn't attack them. Zeri was then confused by why he didn't attack. Zeri then ran up to one of the boars to attack hit, but it had dodge. Zeri then ran beside Iri and said, "Why didn't you attack? Well, you handle the weaker boar and I'll to handle the stronger one, does that sound like a plan?"

Zeri was walking behind Iri as they entered the second floor. Zeri saw that Iri was completely different from the way he was on the first floor, and he wondered why. Then Iri got excited when he learned that Zeri was training him. "I guess I am." Zeri said in response.

Zeri looked around to see if he could find and mobs for Iri to fight but was unsuccessful. Then Iri asked Zeri what are they going to fight first. Zeri looked at Iri and said, "You're not fighting anything..." then he let out a smirk, opened his menu and selected the weapon he had asked to be made for Iri and then said, "...not without this at least." 

A rapier appeared in Zeri's hand, the one he had made so that Iri could have something besides the started weapon that he had. He holds it out waiting for Iri to take it from him. "We'll just have to walk around until we find something."

"You're first." Zeri told Tsubasa when he said he was ready to go. Zeri watched as Tsubasa attacked the boar, dealing some decent amount of damage. "Guess it's my turn then." Zeri said as he walked from the tree. Zeri stretched a little bit before he bent his knees, in preparation to activate his <<Straight>> Sword Art. Zeri then focused on the boar and then charged at it. When his attacked succeeded, the boar was nothing more than blue fragments. Zeri then stretched again before noticing that the boar left something behind. "Some col, huh." Zeri said as he grabbed it. "So I guess we're done here now?" Zeri asked Tsubasa.

Zeri walks in after getting a message saying that the weapon he had requested to be made is finished. He looks at the weapon and is very impressed by how the owner made it. "Thanks a lot! This will help me out a lot." Zeri said as he put the weapon into his inventory. He gives the owner a wave goodbye as he walks out of the store, but not before saying, "I'll be back soon!"

Zeri nodded as Iri went off with his brother. "Well now that he's safe, time to focus on the rest of these boars." Zeri said as he turn his attention to the boars. Zeri took a couple of steps back as he prepared to attack one of the boars. Zeri bent his knees once more and took a deep breath, activating his <<Straight>> Sword Art once again. He then charged at one of the boars, finishing them off in one hit. "Well, let's finish the rest of these boars off and call it day, shall we?"

"What!?" Zeri said in response to Tsubasa's comment. Zeri wasn't quite sure what to do at this point, deal with Tsubasa or Iri. Then Tsubasa whispered something to him, "What's that supposed to mean?" Zeri said angrily to Tsubasa. Then what Tsubasa said to Iri really ticked off Zeri. He then grabbed his sword, swung it and stopped just between his eyes. "So you're the reason for this strange feeling I'm having. Look, I don't know what your plan is, but neither Iri nor me are your 'tools' to use for your pleasure." Zeri said with the intent of striking Tsubasa, but was stopped by Iri who hugged him and began to cry. "No, this isn't the right thing to do." Zeri said to himself, noticing that Iri is no longer in a good enough condition to be out here any longer. Iri then let's go of Zeri and reached for his hand like a scared kid. Zeri puts his sword away, opens his menu and cancels his quest. He then turns his attention from Tsubasa to Iri and said to him, "Let's go find your brother."

Zeri watched as the object came from out the bushes. Zeri eyes then widen in fear as he saw the alpha wolf and the amount of health it had. Zeri took a couple of steps back out of fear and said, "T-that thing c-could possibly k-kill me in one hit." Zeri was so afraid, he couldn't think straight. Then Zeri saw that he activated his <<Howl>> skill. "C-can I actually kill this thing." Zeri said in self doubt. Zeri didn't know what to do, yet along if he could do it. Zeri had to try or he was dead for sure. He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, his eyes became fixated on the wolf. Zeri ran up towards the wolf raised his sword up high. "Take this!" Zeri said as his sword glowed red, activating his <<Avalanche>> Sword Art. He swung his sword down, successfully damaging the wolf and at the same time stunning it. He then made his way back towards Calrex, waiting for him to make the next move.

"If you say so." Zeri said to Tsubasa after his response. "I should keep my eye on him." Zeri said to himself immediately afterward.  Zeri continues walking for a bit until he saw that Iri was acting very strangely. "What's up with him?" Zeri said before he ran up towards Iri to check up on him. He knelt down to see what was wrong with him and noticed that he was scared of something. Zeri then began very concerned for Iri and try to snap him out of it. "Yo, Iri! You ok man? What's wrong?"

Zeri thought he was done until Phillia saw another group of boars and wanted to fight them. Zeri said and though to himself, "She's going to get herself killed..." Zeri then watched as the guy he saw at the Tarven attacked and finished one of the boars off. Zeri then watched as Iri tried to attack one of the boars, but failed and came back very sad. He then turns his attention to the Iri, deciding that cheering Iri up is more important than fighting the boars at the moment, and said to him with a warming smile, "Don't get all upset Iri. You can't expect to hit them every time, I can promise you that almost everyone here screwed up pretty badly at least once. That's why you have to keep training, so you can get better. So promise me this, you won't get upset that your attacks keep missing ok?"

"Ok." Zeri said when Tsubasa mentions that there were boars nearby. Zeri followed Tsubasa untitled he stopped and saw a here boar grazing nearby. Zeri then watches as Tsubasa as he walks around to try to flank the boar, but instead he sat on a log and began to drink some water. "Must be a little worn out after the last battle." Zeri said to Tsubasa. Then he found a tree across from Tsubasa, and leaned on it, making sure to keep an eye on Tsubasa. "I'll wait for you to make the first move and then I'll make my move."

(OOC: We should implement the hate system on this one, to make things a little easier)

"A nobody?" Zeri had said in confusion. Zeri wondered what Tsubasa meant by that until he said this.

"I am nice to you because you need protection"

Instinctively, Zeri looked at Tsubasa and thought to himself, "Is that really all, or is there more to it. What exactly are you hiding?" Then Tsubasa pointed towards the direction in which he heard something. "Sure, why not." Zeri said walking towards the directing Tsubasa said. He then walked up to Tobi and whispered to him, "Stay close to me ok. I have a strange feeling about something ok, and I want to make sure everyone stays safe alright?"

"Cool." Zeri said to Tsubasa when he mention that he has what he need to complete. Then he ask could he go fight some more mobs. Zeri then shrugs and said, "Sure, why not. It's your mission after all." Zeri said to Tsubasa, but Zeri was actually curious  by the way he was acting earlier. "You lead the way, Tusbasa." Zeri said wanted to follow him to keep an eye on him.

Zeri was out in the fields in search for a few boars to kill until he noticed some people he saw the other day and also a pack of boars. "I guess I should help out." Zeri said as he began to run towards the group. He saw that a guy had dealt the boars a lot of damage and the girl from the bar the other day.

Zeri then grabbed his sword, bent his knees and took a deep breath. His sword then glowed red in activation of his <Straight> Sword Art. He charged at the last boar destroying it, then turned his attention to Iri. "Why are you doing out here playing around Iri. Shouldn't you be with your brother or Tobi?" He then thinks for a moment and then said to him, "You know what, just stay behind me ok so you won't get killed?"

"800 col you say. That's sound like a deal." Zeri said as he gave the owner of the shop 800 col to make his request for the rapier. "Let me know when it's done. And thanks for making it!" Zeri said as he walks out the shop.

-800 col

Zeri picked up his sword and slowly made his way back to the group. He looked about both of them and said, "What was you two talking about?" Then he looked in the direction of where the cub dashed off and thought, "Maybe I should try once more to see if I can change its mind about me." Then Zeri stretched for a minute and said to the Tsubasa and Iri, "Well sadly the cub ran off further into the path, but I think I can still convince him to join me if I try hard enough." Zeri then looked about both of them hoping they would still continue to help him tame a familiar.

"Hello." Zeri said as he walked into the shop with the intent of having a weapon made for one of his friends. Zeri grabbed an order form and filled it out.

"How much will it cost to have it made?" Zeri asked the owner
