Allania

Allania did not stop. It was her time to go on the offensive. Rushing towards the creatures who had retreated Allania spun around, her dagger whistling as it glided through the air. But once again that was all that it hit. Air. Nothing more, there was no crunch of carapace cracking, no resistance. Another miss. Sighing, Allania stopped her relentless assault, taking a short breather, but it did not go so well. The instant she stopped attacking the Scorpions took it upon themselves to return her the favour going on just as a relentless of an offensive as her, but they too struck nothing but air and sand.

Nearly there, I must be nearly there, she thought, cresting yet another dune as she traveled back to where she had last seen the Spearman. Atop this dune, one that was seemingly higher than the others, she scanned the horizon, looking for Hydra. Off in the distance she could just make something out. Three humanoid figures moving about on the sand a distance away from her. She could not tell what they were doing, but one of them could be Hydra. He could be in danger, or it could be friendly players. Either way it was better to go and check. To make sure that he was safe, rather than assume that he was to be okay. Determined to reach there in time, Allania set off at a jog, heading in the direction that she saw the players in.

Tick. It had gone up. Her energy had ticked up to just enough. At least I hope it's enough, she thought, rushing towards the Troll. The troll was striking at Rowan, having just knocked the player away. It was distracted. Good. My chance has come to finish this. Reaching the Troll her dagger sung as it sliced through the air, slicing deeply into the creatures side. It was not enough. The Troll seemed an inch from death, but it was not over yet. Instead of falling, exploding into pixels, it got up, club in hand. Ready to attack.

Having a small respite before the onslaught continued, Allania firmed up her footing, readying for the attack. When the blows came raining down upon her she was prepared. Allania attempted to dodge and deflect the blows, remaining upright so as to keep her centre as she did so. Having protected herself from the attack of the Scorpions it was her turn. Her dagger flew around her in a circle, but when the tip of the blade came to where the scorpions once were they were there no longer, having retreated backwards.

Allania had been out walking in the Town of Beginning. It felt like she had been here for years now, but it was less than a month in actuality. As she wandered she was looking up to the sky, blissfully unaware of the people around her. Allania used her peripheral vision to avoid the NPC's and players, weaving between those in the streets. The sky was bright today. The Sun was high, glimpsing through the cloud cover, the Sun burning bright through them. It was as beautiful as ever, no matter how often she gazed at the sky she never got tired of looking up once again at the azure heavens above.

"Oh, hey there Luna. And yeah, the dress is done." she said, handing over the dress to the Bluenette "I hope it's just like you wanted. If you want me to make you anything else. Sorry, but I should probably go and do some crafting" she said, gesturing to the back room. "See you later". Heading into the backroom, Allania sat down. Six materials in front of her Allania began to craft. It was a quick and short process. When she was done Allania stood up and headed back to the front room, leaving the pile of freshly crafted clothes to be catalogued later.

"You keep them busy for a moment. I need to recover some energy, then I'll be able to finish this. So just hold out a moment longer" she called out to Rowan. It had been a long fight, but with this she would hopefully be able to finish it. Standing off to the side of the battle, Allania bent over double. Her hands on her knees, taking in deep breaths. In and out. In and out. Slowly, rhythmically. She had to catch her breath, she would not be much use if she didn't, she would not be able to fight her strongest. She would not be able to look after Rowan in the state she was. Looking down she breathed, taking in deep breaths. Soon, soon I will be able to fight once again. Soon I will be able to protect those that matter to me more.

Allania continued to follow the trail that she had made. It had been quite a while since they parted ways, having not yet been night time when they had separated. Since separating Allania had not stopped walking. She had just continued to wander away, aimlessly moving through the desert. But now she had a purpose to her movement. She wanted to find Hydra before the Sun rose on the desert long enough. She had left it long enough, if not too long. Hopefully he'd be able to accept her apology, she just hoped she had not offended him too greatly. Cresting dune after dune, sliding down slope after slope, Allania was making ever greater progress to where they had last been together.

Allania darted back at the Trolls who were now kneeling on the floor, Rowan having cut at their legs. Targeting the most injured one, Allania forced her exhausted body to attack. Her arm arcing out, she sliced the more injured one in its back, leaving once again another crimson line traced in pixels. Allania stood there panting, the tip of her dagger shaking from the lack of energy, this battle having dragged on for a long time. It was not over though. Not yet. They may have taken down four of the trolls, but two of them were still alive and kicking.

Allania continued to wander back in the direction she had come. Taking out a chocolate bar from her inventory she began to nibble away at it. It was a good chocolate bar. One that would give her better luck when trying to find things. Blaze on her heels, Allania walked back up the dune she had breached not long ago. When she was at its crest, Allania began to scan the horizon, hoping her tracks had not yet faded, or that Hydra ha not strayed far from where they were together last. It was dangerous out here at night, and she did not want anything happening to her friend. Spotting the tracks that she had left, Allania began to follow them. Her hopes high to meet the Spearman again shortly.

As she crested a dune, Allania spotted a group of 4 scorpions in the valley below. Heading towards them Allania attacked, her dagger spinning out and around at the creatures in front of her. Try though she might, her dagger cut through nothing but the air, the scoprions having retreated back a few paces before going back in on the assault. The assault of the scoprions managed to land a few blows on the girl, but they did little damage.

Turning to the smith, Allania quickly thought, what will a beginner in this world find most useful in a piece of armor. Quickly settling within her mind that a piece of armour with some mitigation on would be best. "Would I be able to get something simple. Nothing fancy. Just a set of light leather armour that would be able to offer the wearer some form of protection". When this item was crafted she would carry it until she met a player that was in need of it. "Yeah, the system is rather finicky about this like that" she said, a smile on her face as she opened the pop up that had appeared on her HUD. "That should about do it" pressing the accept button, a new health bar appearing under her current one, reading the players name.

Allania got sent reeling as the first toll struck her with its club. Before Allania had a chance to regain  her footing the second troll rushed at her, knocking her further back and to one knee. Stabilising herself for a moment, Allania then launched herself back at the trolls, running straight for the one less injured, ducking under the clumsy swing of the second troll. Covering the distance quickly, Allania slashed at the troll as she ran past it, turning back to see the red line she had just carved in its side.

It was dark now. Allania had wandered far from where her and Hydra had last been, going off on her own. She had still not quite forgiven Hydra for poking her familiar, but having the time she had to consider it, she had begun to feel like she had overreacted more and more. He probably had not meant anything by it, as simple a jest as her building a shelter while fighting the bandits. To her though it had been different, if it was her that he had poked then it would have been fine, but he had done it to her closest companion this world, the one who had saved her from the solitude that oft accompanied the players of this world. "What was I thinking?!" she exclaimed to the dark dunes around her, Hydra had been as much of a companion to her as Blaze. I need to try and find him and apologise, she thought, turning back to try and find her friend. Hoping he was okay.

Allania was slightly unsurprised when she heard that this storm was far worse. It was horrendous out here, you could barely see what was besides you. The push to her shoulder moved Allania quite far, looking to where Grave had been she could just make out his outline, and some sort of insect that had moved past them, leaving a large trail in the sand that was quickly being swallowed by the storm. Her dagger out, Allania ran towards the insect, slashing it deep across her abdomen before her leg lashed out, roundhouse kicking it twice in the side, causing the insect to explode into millions of red pixelated shards. Looking up and around, Allania could not seem to spot Grave, even though it felt like she had barely moved from where she had stood moments ago.

"I feel kind of sorry for this snow cone, being beaten once again must not be fun" Allania noted, more to herself than anyone else. She then let out a little laugh, having just heard Grave's little joke. Putting her hands clasped behind her back, Allania followed after Grave. Hearing his array of questions, Allania raised her head to look above, thinking about each one and what their answer was. "Well, first of all, I'm a simple dagger wielder. It doesn't have a lot of variety, but it reminds me a lot of the knife my dad gave me when I use it" she said, taking out her knife and looking at it, holding it in both hands. "As for a profession, I own a little tailor's store down on the first floor, it's pretty basic but I like it. I just recently got to rank 5 in it as well" a beaming smile on her face as she mentioned her rank in the profession, it was something she was proud about, having been able to make so many things in this world. "And guild? I am not actually part of one at the moment, I don't really want to just join one and have no connection to the people there. Though I'm thinking of putting my name down to help that new guild that's been spoken about recently. And what of you? I don't really know how to rephrase the questions, so just the same ones that you said?" she said the last part with her head to the ground, her voice trailing off, being slightly embarrassed in how she had worded it.

"No problem" Allania said, smiling "I hope it meets your requirements". When the customer had left, Allania headed back into the work room, settling down for another set of crafting. When she had done there was not a perfect item in sight. Oh well, she thought, I had been getting quite lucky with those things recently, she admitted. Taking the just crafted items out to display, Allania wandered off for the day.

The energy gauge ticked up once more. Jumping forward in its integer intervals. Once this tick had happened the bar slowly filled back up to full. Seems like I've been waiting long enough, she thought. Allania got up from where she had been sat, brushing the sand off from her body. Looking down at Blaze, Allania said "Time to go and find some new bad guys to fight, are you ready to go?". Watching as the little Boar bounced up and down on its tiny trotters, Allania laughed "I'll take that as a yes then". Taking her dagger from her sheath, Allania set off to try and find a group of enemies that she could fight in earnest.

Hearing the smiths spiel, a similar menu popped open in Allania's HUD. Clicking on the Accept button, Allania took on the quest. Once the pop-up had gone, Allania looked around at the two others. One had seemed to already accepted the quest, while the other had yet to take it. "Well, as we're all here at the same time, why don't we work together to do this quest? I don't particularly need the item myself, I came here more to check if anyone needed a hand fighting the monster that will ensue. So, if you'd like to work together, why don't we form a party? That way we'll be able to keep an eye on one anothers health", Allania finished her proposition with a smile spreading on her face, It seemed like she had come to the shop at a good time to be of use.

Allania just continued to lie there, eye on her energy gauge. As soon as it was full, she would set off once again. There is no time to be relaxing, not with so much to be seen in the world. Above her there was a cloud, alone, solitary within the azure ocean of the sky, drifting from one horizon to the other, fluffy as one could be. Wait a moment. I cloud??? Allania thought, sitting bolt upright, A cloud in the desert? Maybe that's what felt off, what I couldn't place. There was a cloud. It was something so simple, yet to Allania it was spectacular. Not once had she seen a cloud in the skies above her on this floor, before now the sky had been as desolate as the land below it, if not more so. But now it seemed the Sun had a companion, keeping it company on its travels from East to West

Allania looked up from her map, "this looks like it" she commented, seeing the cozy looking smithy on the Towns edge. Allania did not normally frequent this floor, having only been here once before it took her longer than she expected to find this place. Allania was here as she had heard there was a quest to be had, one that was particularly helpful for thoes just starting out in the world. Luckily for Allania, when she had started she lucked out and resulted being a tailor early on, making the armour that she has on now, the Boarhide Bodice in as good of a condition as when it was made. It was one of her treasured possessions. So as a result, Allania was here to see if there was anyone else that needed her help in the quest.

Opening the door, Allania poked her head inside. Just within the door seemed to be another player, further into the store there was a smithy toiling away at an anvil, and a woman positioned behind him working away at a piece of jewelry. "Hey there" she whispered to the player, hoping not to distract the smithies at work.

Fair. I had no need to really do the quest, as I quickly became a tailor and made some armour. So I've been waiting to do the quest with someone who's in need of what you get, so I could help them.

Sitting herself down, Allania let herself catch her breath. While she was recovering, Blaze came over and nuzzled at her exposed leg with its cold snout. As the Boar nuzzled, Allania watched as her health gauge rocketed back up to full. "Thank you little buddy" she voiced, a warm smile on her face, scratching behind her little friends ear. As she scratched Blaze moved his head much like a cat does, positioning it so you're scratching in the perfect place. Lying down, her breath still recovering, Allania looked up at the sky. Something still seemed off but she could not quite tell what.

It shouldn't be too bad. If we have the first few posts as all of us meeting up and introducing one another, going to the forge and hearing the request to get the material. We can then head there, fight and head back. It should be fine.
