Avilon

Avi's eyes glanced back down toward her menu, she had grown quite worried about the discussion of how her girlfriend had no intention on ever leaving the idea behind of climbing the floors. Though her idea of constantly growing stronger was noble, she wanted to get her out and possibly settle down for real if she ever managed to make it out. It was quite fortunate to have met the woman once again that she had begun to see as family. It just happened to be that this sisterhood showed itself more as possible spouse in her life. Avi's cheeks turned rosy red as she began to wonder where Zandra would have gotten off to. The fingers gently poked open the menu pressing about till she got to the old messenger screen and starting up a letter as she wandered the rather normal third floor of Aincrad.

Quote

"L-love umm may I ask where you have wandered off to? I just was feeling a bit lonely back at the inn and wanted to maybe go out hunting or material gathering. If you are busy though with the floors it's fine because I understand you are still fighting to get us out. Maybe tonight if we both are back home we could discuss possible ideas for room layouts too."

Avi then sighed, the pinkette gently rested herself down against the tree holding her arms firmly to her chest, "I wish I knew what happened to everyone ... maybe I should think about asking about for more work to help pay for the house."

@Zandra @Hakai

Avi's expression grew disheartened, she knew that when she first came to Zandra's aid. This was a woman who would constantly come to her side to protect any person she met. The shimmering rose colored bangs would slide down across her eyes to cover them. "I know, you wouldn't ever stop fighting and I also know it's selfish of me to ask you to stop. So, I want you to train me to be stronger so I can stay by your side. Thick and thin as you girlfriend never to leave your side all the way to the one hundredth floor." As she was pushed into, her cheeks matched that vibrant rosy color her hand now sliding up to help guide her lips as she locked her own body in against Zandra's before smiling as they held this passionate moment. Her embarrassment to do this here of all places an on this valentine day event left her speechless and limp gently cradling herself into Zandra's chest for comfort and stability. "I will try an become strong to help and protect you as well love."

@Zandra

Avilon's cheeks still burned red, complimenting the pink hair the girl wore as it wasn't natural but she enjoyed this dyed state. She would slowly rest her head in against Zandra's sholder merely keeping up with the slow dance for a while. The talk about the floor and place that they settled didn't seem to matter for either of the couple. Her hands would slip in around through Zandra's hair as she smiled. "I don't care about where either my love. If you like it then I can dress up for you." She smiled before then setting her back and around her neck. "I'm so glad that I met you. I felt like I was stuck in the snow on the fourth flour for so long and here I am now with you. "You still want to fight on the front lines right?" She asked, her fingers now tossing some of zandra's hair while coiling within it. "I must admit, I am worried to know that you will always be in danger and wish I could become a strong enough to join you ... I don't like the idea of leaving you for those long boss raids." She cringed biting her lip.

The light azure and snow white dress twirled ever so slightly as she rocked back and forth. Her hips swayed to the rhythm of the light background music that now played. The girl's eyes closed shut, gently resting her head now upon Zandra's shoulder as she blushed so faintly and smiled out over the others among the couple's ball. "I must admit, it's difficult to believe that I'd be able to catch back up with you in any respect. As for floor, I don't mind what the scenery looks like so long as we can spend a few nights together. Any place is good enough for, I just want you in it holding me." The digits of her hand gently walking across shoulder as she would slowly kick them off into a slow dance that would fit it. "How exactly do we sign up for this couple competition thingy?" Avi asked, her brow quirked awkwardly as she continued to lead the pace of their dance. As she slid in their chests would meet, gently pressing in the dress tops as she cooed with delight from the simple sensation of pressing their digital hearts together, "Do you think we could hear one another's hearts beating? You think they would synchronize to show just how much we love one another?" The shielding tank had worn less armor in this moment then her entire stay in Aincrad. Balls came by almost every month, she simply didn't expect to find someone in time for Valentines day.

[Enter couple competition with @Zandra.]

Avilon would cling to Zandra, she stuck to her like glue as she was patted upon the top of her head giving a slight smile. She slowly walked herself over to the side still resting her pink hair upon the shoulder of her beloved. "I know, I just a little scared of losing people again." She sighed the tone in her voice calming to the point where she would no longer being in tears. Instead she would smile and squint her eyes as she held onto the arm of Zandra as they would stroll over toward the dance floor. Avi would release her partner from her vice grip, a petite curtsy offered in reply to Zandra's bow, it would appear that for this dance among the two girls Avi would be the one taking the feminine role. "Competition? Ermm I suppose we could, there isn't some strange formal speech made by the couples who win right?" Public speaking, no public displays in general were not a strength of the younger woman now reaching out to offer her hand and hip for a twirl about the ballroom. "Maybe afterwards, when we have found a nice floor to settle down on ... we could actually buy a house were we can just stay together?"

Avilon's eyes would stay glued to her partner, quickly those orbs in their sockets would peek down, hoping to not step upon her partners toes.

@Zandra

Avi's pink hair would ruffle slightly as she felt the hand reaching about the back of her head only to bring her closer to her girlfriend. Zandra's lips met with her own, her cheeks would flush up form the contact of their lush lips. She hadn't particularly imagined their first public kiss to be quite so obvious, but it was short and succinct. The tear streaks would remain, those two streams down her cheeks trailed down to her chin as she simply would latch her arms about Zandra in her new dress. "I can't take any more loss, after everyone who has fallen thus far I would rather end it all then continue on if I were to lose you love." The pinkette would simply rest her head now in against the older woman's shoulder as she attempted to catch her breath and sigh. 

"I apologize for being overly concerned, I just remember when I first lost friends to a pker. And how if I hadn't joined you when we met up, I still don't know the girl who led me back to you but I thank her for revealing a dear old friend." Avi's cheek a vibrant red as she would smile and giggle, "Let's go out and have us a dance ok? You really promise to never leave me alone, even if it is on the final floor when you got to slay the final boss ... but what if we did get out would you still come for me in the real world?"

@Zandra

"I don't know if anyone I know is even alive any more," the girl would stand beside Zandra gloom starting to follow her like a cloud as she settled back into her dreary mindset when she had lost a few friends. Both were strong warriors, just like Zandra which only put doubt and fear into her eyes as she would quickly move around and clasp her arms about Zandra as if ready to dance. "I-I want you to promise me that you won't leave me like everyone else I love please," tears streaked down her cheeks as she began to bury her face deep into her shoulder. Avi had dug herself so deep into a hole she didn't even remember how to interact with people on this social level  the pink hair brushing into that black wavy locks of Zandra. "I don't want to lose anyone else that I love ok." Her grip would only tighten as she stood there the mask pressing into Zandra's shoulder as she would slowly peel away and sniffle uncertain why she would even put her heart back on the line once more. This was her last chance, if anything ever was to happen to Zandra, Avilon's mental state would most likely snap as she had already lost one girl who she was dating and the man who had been her mentor for so many years. After hearing about a few others who died back in the Celestial ascendants, she was afraid she would never learn to feel again for another.

@Zandra

Avi's cheeks burned bright with embarrassment, her gaze also studying a few of the heterosexual couples that had gone in through the main gate. She then stopped and realized she hadn't finished dressing fully as she would poke her fingers through her inventory. She squeaked though as she was hugged and now looked back toward the main gate a bit nervous, "You sure that this will end up ok? I just am a little scared of meeting in front of so many people in all these f-formal dresses." A stutter appearing in her voice, she had grown to be quite calm and collected in her battling. Social interaction was a completely different beast as she now glanced down toward her feet trying to keep herself from hyperventilating if that was even possible. Avi would see her half mask and now equip her own, the skull like mask offering intrigue and evidence of her skin beneath much like the one Zandra had picked out for herself. As she held onto Zandra's arm tightly she would shake her head to the question before asking, "I have the only person on my arm that I want to be social with ..." She admitted still in a dark period after the death of her beloved friend Manta. @Zandra

Avilon's body shivered, she had been rather depressed and scared to ever try and love once again. Her fingers gently gloved and pacing back and forth still a little ways outside of the masquerade ball as she would sigh. "Calm down, it's just a date with someone who wanted to try and cheer you up. It's the least you can do after being friends for so long." Avi's face was red as she sighed and would peek out from around the corner as she would then gulp seeing Zandra dress up in her new outfit for the dance as she wiggled back behind and buried her face into her dress. "Why did you let her convince you that this was a good idea." She groaned softly only to stand back up and start walking over red in her cheeks as she was dressed in a rather cute light colored dress. "H-hello?" She said bashfully now walking over toward Zandra with the long white gloves that worked up to her elbows.  The mask she had prepared appearing like that of half a skeleton as upper face.

Avilon's pink short hair dangled over her eyes as she would race off without checking on the red head, her shield clanking against her back as she descended deep into the woods. The woman would glance about a bit confused, attempting to spot any of the changes in the environment left her sword unsheathed as well ready for a fight with whomever they were. "Hello?" She shouted, her voice rather seldom as she had been basically having a death wish most of this time since she first lost the woman she had been friends with. This game came with an emotional tax that could burn up even the gentlest of stars as she would then come across the encounter from behind, a gentle puff of air blowing her pink hair out from her face as she spied a familiar face. "Why don't you two fight a little less dirty huh," She grumbled angrily as she would now have surrounded them from two side flanking from Zandra's position.

@Zandra

Exit Illia)

Avilon winced as his strike struck her once more, it was no use it seemed every strike her landed was prepared with the intent to rend her tactics useless in this duel. The pinkette maiden peaked out from beneath her crucifix before raising her eyes toward the heavens closing her eyes as if preparing to prey. This fight is a pointless one even now if I started striking I'm sure that any amount of mitigation he had would block my damage. Thus is the role of someone who hasn't picked up any ranks into their sword arts. A pity that I didn't think of it earlier. Her eyes were once again cast upon the suit of armor that formed less a man and more a monster or boss one would face. It was hard for her to believe someone would wish such an appearance and worse yet it did cause her body to tremble behind the shield the gentle fidgets of the shield possibly mistaken from the resonating strikes that had coursed through the shield and her body.

She grimaced as she noticed the male before her now preparing an attack As she raised her shield to meet his attack she cringed now bracing her entire body as she now felt her boots and shield grind against the town cobblestone floor. The lavender hair and her entire form were blocked by the giant cross as she finally came to a grinding halt. His new equipment was far more fearsome then his original. A spark of fear shot down her spine causing her to shiver. After a moments of respite though she slid the shield over to reveal her steel cold plastered expression as the initial strike had caused little effect. The chunk of health from such a formidable foe not even phasing her as she now began to speak up once more.

"Again!" The girl shouted far louder than she had ever spoken to the two. The woman merely charged forward this time howling out as if attempting to draw even monsters to attack her within this safe zone. A strange endeavor as it was impossible for such to happen. No matter what the hate dwindled away as the mobs were no where to be seen. As she faced him again she stood still shattered stone left in the wake up their last clash. This is my fight steadfast durability. Lucky shot I can't let more pass me by.

Avilon:  HP: 397/420 +9 = 406/420 EN: 42/42

Avilon's approach would slowly reveal her true persona, dreary eyes that had been restless over the nights of seclusion peered out as if attempting to find the ability to cry and lacking the tear ducts to do so. The first day in her seclusion all she did was weep the second she ate little and moved less. She slowly changed form human to snail to empty shell over that time. Perhaps part of that humanity was still lost deep beneath that heavy armor, but whether it emerged again was entirely up to the girl. "I'm Avilon," She murmured softly eyes glancing between Domarus and Keres as she didn't exit her battle ready pose. "Again ..." She spoke as if expecting him to understand what was happening in her scattered mind. Her sword arm slowly slid the blade back down into her sheath as she now smashed the shield down into the street it would recover in due time but for now she had made a cross in the town square with her shield. "En garde." The girl said now standing in front of him not even attempting to reach for her sword.

The plain smile caused her heart to skip a beat though as she began to reflect upon her memories a tinge of warmth fleeting to her cheeks as a slight curl to her lips raised reflecting her old nature. W-what is this?

ID: 72520 LD: 10

Avilon emerged from the alleyway of a distant street, the bangs of the rosy topped girl draped deep over her eyes like a curtain to prevent peepers from snooping about. A dreary sigh escaping her lips, it had been nearly a month from her count with her soul searching adventure and the long endeavor only brought woe to her heart. The large protective crucifix that once weighed her down was no longer burdensome for her. Each step the heavy armor crushed down into the city streets a formidable guard for a warrior who still was in training. Something was off about the woman to those who had met her, the cheery persona was lost to the isolation she had self inflicted. The words of a woman she met on her adventures through a dungeon soaked deep into the corners of her mind. She was a pitiful creature who despite being a tank still had no walls to barricade herself off from deadly emotional strikes. Words always cut deepest into her poor heart, perhaps more so then weapons of steel. "It's time to test." Avilon's eyes glanced out through the drapes of her bangs as she now spied what she had assumed to be a man who had been seeking after a partner to spar against. His appearance was like that of a dragon due to his armor. At first perception she figured he was a tank much like herself, perhaps in this duel I will not be the one striking the first hits. She glanced down to her gear and weapon noting that the majority of damage wouldn't come from her blade. The clinking of metal against stone would be heard from the woman's boots as she began her approach. "I assume you put up all those posters about the city?"

I won't be a weakling any more Opal, I swear that those days are in my past I won't fall victim to my emotions. Brandishing her onyx sword, shield and gear she now stood before him eyes drained of her once vivacious soul who would happily greet everyone with a warm embrace and cheerful greeting. "En garde ..." The woman raised her shield and kept her dreary gaze upon him her mind still racing through her past.

Avilon blinked now eyeing the mountain lions that were encircling her as they all leaped upon her slashing their claws against her. SHe gasped and fell to her knee as their sharp fangs and claws bit into her with ferocity. She groaned and now desperately attempted to break free of the monsters upon her limbs as she looked back up to opal. She wasn't able to do anything when they all managed to land such an assault upon her. Her sword flying threw the air as she missed allthe mosnters about her.

Avilon blushed feeling Xion now sneak up behind her and giggling as she now nuzzled back into his arms as she felt her wonderful boyfriend now holding her tight. "Do you want to build a snowman?" She nearly sang out as if pretending to be a Disney princess in this winter wonderland. Avilon always attempted to see the brighter side of life as those who hated the cold would have thought of it as a wasteland thanks to the lack of wild life that could thrive in such a severe climate. "Do we really have to do another thread can't the three of us just sit down and I don't know ... throw snowballs eat snow cones?" She stated now wadding up some of the snow and swallowing it as she then squealed as a brain freeze rushed over her head and leaning her head into Xion's chest now regretting that.

The days seemed to just be packed, even now she was on route once more to another excursion with some of her favorite people Xion ... and that other girl he introduced her to one day. She blinked and looked down toward Hakai as she was making snow angels her own thoughts of joining her in the snow partially uprooted by the rather gorgeous locks she had now shaking her head. "Hello?" Weakly speaking up as she was dressed in a nice pink coat trying to keep warm as she waved rather slowly at the other girl. "Was just wondering if this is the right place and what we were doing I guess?"

Avilon smiled and hopped from one foot to the other, her mood cheering up quite nicely as the cold wasn't even effecting her at this point because she felt so warm inside now. Seeing him in the pink coat she quickly clapped her arms around him and nuzzle into her pink coat normally not use to being able to fell it from this side. "These coats are so soft," after laying there a while she nearly fell over before catching herself and standing back up. "Right, umm where would you like to go as I'm certain I could help you out with the fighting of a few meager level spawns on this floor." As she said that she tapped out and her armor now spawned under her coat along with a giant crucifix. Her tower shield now at the ready as she smiled. "Off to see the wizard?"

She then stopped and began to nibble her fingertip of her left hand once more as she was asked a tough question which always caused her to slow down a bit now chewing on the nail as she wondered. "Umm well I know I met a few people here, oh and over there is a lake that you don't want to walk over as I sorta fell into the ice that is how I met Xion." She smiled and spun about before realizing that she probably seemed a bit crazy dreaming over her boyfriend when he wasn't even here. "Umm, anyway I don't really know how often I have been here I guess it all starts to just mesh together over time." Rubbing her head and giggling as she tried to act a bit more normal without any success as she could be anything, but normal. "Oh you must be chilly!" she quickly tapped her fingers about and traded him a winter coat, grant it when he got it he would realize that it was a bright pink and quite fluffy as she normally tried to keep an extra on her.

She yelped being pulled out from the sand brushing it off her clothes as she now cringed and wiggled in her armor as she began to let a pathetic howl escape her lips as she drew more aggro then Hakai. A awkward grinding dance of sand within her clothes against her skin made her mewl like a dying dog at the pound as she began to cringe, "I-I need a long bath to get this sand out ... I-I don't think I can even reach all the places it is." She whimpered softly as she shuffled her body about again now feeling the grind of sand between her thighs shivering from that creepy uncomfortable feeling.

She laughed feeling rather stupid as she walked back to the Alchemist's shop and giggled, "Sorry about all that, I forgot that the more formal purchases need to be done here I guess. Anyway, I think I will take 1 Greater Healing potion, 1 Antidote, and a teleport crystal please." She giggled and pulling punching in a rather large number of col into the transfer as she wasn't that great with finances. "How much will all of this cost again?" Now preparing the necessary amount of col as she was certain she would have enough to purchase them thanks to Ebony, rest in peace. Remembering the girl who gave her money to start off who was now dead.

Avilon now skipped up to the rather familiar man, she remember seeing him with a rather pungent purple haired girl once prior to this as she now was on a mission to buy some useful items. "Excuse me I need a teleport crystal, greater health potion and one antidote if you could be so kind," She smiled swaying back and forth having forgotten that she onced had talked about joining a guild that him and his buddies were making once a long time ago as she was quite forgetful. The little heart bubbles leaping off her head as she still had her new boyfriend on her mind and was hoping to be on the front line of the next event with her shield up beside him. "Err, sorry yeah I need wait I already said all that did I?" Rather absentminded, after placing her order she would quickly turn around and leave as she was in a hurry.

Avilon smiled and clapped her hands, "Yaya I never have been higher then someone else I have met before." Squealing giddily before bouncing about in the snow rather childishly till she squeaked tripping and disappearing into a puff of powdered snow. Laying face down  she mewled softly prying her face out of the snow before shivering and wiping the dusty ice particles off her face before laughing off her klutzy mistake. "Sorry, I always forget to introduce myself I am the 'Good Holy Knight' Avilon!" She spoke majestically before then sheepishly poking her fingers together, "Or at least that is what I would like to be if I ever get strong enough to fight on the front lines. Otherwise you can just call me Avi that's what everyone else calls me."
