Dominion

Dominion continued to smile as Atzo responded in a friendly manor. Atzo took Dominion's words well, chuckling in response. Then, Atzo turned his head to reply to Solomon's question, it seemed as though they were talking of the same person, the same girl. Raina, who had met Dominion on the road of the first floor a while back, was a good person. Dominion knew Raina, and had a deep respect for her and her orphan brothers and sisters. Atzo, stating that they were together, gave Dominion a reason to distribute the respect between Raina and Atzo. "So, Atzo, it looks as though you have taken Raina as a significant other... what does that mean exactly?" Dominion asked, but Atzo then followed up a statement about a man named Ren joining them. Solomon moved from his original position against the wall to smile and state something about wine and lust. Dominion knew what wine and lust could do to a man, and was therefore reluctant to speak. However, a blond man down the road began was walking in there direction, and Solomon had taken a notice to him. Dominion recognized the other player when he approached, as he had seen him on the road to the mansion. So Dominion waited for the man to approach, who seemed to have a drink in one hand and cookies in the other. Dominion had seen cookies once or twice, but not once had he eaten on before. "Greetings Ren, I am Dominion the Monk", Dominion crossed his arms in the traditional way and bowed to Ren, before lifting his torso and grabbing two cookies from the container.

Dominion watched as another battle scene occurred in front of his eyes, blurred by the sands. Enma hoped up onto his shoulder as Husky suddenly found himself beside Dominion. Dominion extended his arm and gave Enma a fist bump. "its about time you got hear, you mischievous monkey" Dominion said to Enma, right before Husky began to speak. Husky could tell that the attention was now presently on him, which would surely help. However, with the games rules, that could only stay mostly true if Dominion didn't build up his own hate and anger. Dominion could tell that they were both still suffering from the poison of the serpent, but he could dull the affect on his friend for a while. Dominion smiled, extending his arm to pat Husky on the shoulder. "No worries friend, you need as much health as you can get", Dominion said as his left spirit monkey began to glow a golden hue. Husky was really close to full health after just one heal from Dominion, which would be very good

Dominion watched as his party member moved forward with determination. This battle would be over soon... Until Dominion noticed the first snake head split the small pieces of sand which made up the dunes that they stood upon, biting out at Husky. While the first one was biting Husky, the other head came out from the ground and sought out Dominion. He stepped to the side, his hands up to block the giant fangs from chomping off his head. It barely missed his main body and took a mighty sized bite out of his shoulder. Enma, Dominion's familiar, came from the direction which they had come from. However, Dominion was also having trouble seeing where Husky was in comparison to himself, half his body being bitten by the massive head. "Where are you Husky?" Dominion said, able to see the health bar drop but no direct sign or figure of him. Dominion would have to wait another turn if he intended to find him and heal him.

Dominion had taken in as much as he could handle before questions were arising within him. Suddenly, his curiosity blew up. "So, does that mean that I can activate a sword art for martial arts now? And why did I have to break a rock in order to get this specific sword art unlocked? Is there a perk to having this sword art over another sword art? And if the sword art requires a long post motion thing, wouldn't that leave you extremely vulnerable to attacks? Why would someone put themselves at that much risk in a game like this, where it is apparent that would, at least in theory, die when you die in this game? Would it not be smarter to just use your weaker sword arts or just you hands instead, so that the post motion would be shorter? that would leave you much less vulnerable... I think, which in turn would assist in your survival while in combat..." Dominion was now just trying to put things together again, to decide what would be best for himself. These questions might seem stupid, but he had legitimate concern for others, and would therefore not want to lead them to their death.

Dominion walked beside his friend and the wolf cub familiar, eager to see battle. This would surely be a better day than the past encounter with this flying and sand swimming, two headed serpent. He listened carefully as Husky told him the use of the teleport crystal. It was both simple and elaborate at the same time. It seemed as though he could just escape the battle with this crystal as long as he held it in his hands when he intended to leave. That would be good if, on the off chance that things were to get really bad, he could get away from combat. However, he doubted that he would need that. He would just need to survive with his friend until the combat ended and when they would be victorious. Dominion opened his menu from memory, swiping his hand to the side and accepting the invitation. They would have a mighty fun time, assuming they could track the serpent while it slithered in air and sand. Both Dominion and Husky caught sight of the green health bar, labeled appropriately but with no sign of a body to match. "Alright, your up first" Dominion said with a smile, having equipped his battle gear. His already equipped spirit monkeys seemed to shine with the sun's golden gleam. His Monkey King Armor also glinted in the sunlight, but on a much lesser scale.

Dominion had to adjust his footing to not fall over by the mans words. They were both incredibly loud and incredibly powerful. Not to mention, the words he spoke were like that of monks in strange wordings and phrases. Who was this guy talking about? It was clear that he was talking about a girl... maybe? Dominion, after having adjusted and heard Solomon out, began to walk a couple steps back. As Dominion approached, Enma tapped his shoulder with his foot, giving him time to watch Atzo make the jump. Atzo came down from the lamp post with great balance, but he really looked like an amateur jumper. Enma turned around and seemed to be coughing, but Dominion knew that the monkey was actually laughing. Dominion had to hold in his own laugh as he watched this, even though he would be the only player to find this hilarious. "Hey wolf man, you are doing a magnificent job with your balance, but your form to get to the ground was like an eager and uncoordinated dog." Dominion teased Atzo with these words, even though they held some truth as rude as they seemed. However, something sparked in his eyes as he took notice to something Atzo was wearing. Dominion's smile seemed to become weary. Not to mention, he needed a second to think about what Solomon had said and ponder the words carefully. However, Dominion could do that with ease. "Yeah, just did my morning run. I still am not doing as good as needed, but at least I still maintain some aspects of my original life from outside this game."

Dominion was running through the first floor, his hands to his sides as he ran. He could feel the breeze pass through his blond and messy hair. His armor was put away, so was all his other battle gear, which left him with blue jeans and a white shirt. His physical form showed through his general form as he ran, looking only straight ahead. He was so close to the finish line, all he had to do was complete the last lap. He ran laps around the first floor every other day, his speed and time were generally the same. However, compared to his last go around, he was much, much quicker.  Added to the increase in speed was a lack of players roaming the first floor city. As he ran the last couple feet, the large blue haired man pressed back against a wall to allow him to pass. Dominion finished the last few steps and came to a halt. "Hey man, you doing alright?" Dominion turned to face the man, his overly joyous expression as a pleasant smile. Enma, who stood on his shoulder, just crossed his arms.

Dominion had stopped walking, his hands raised at his sides, obviously attempting to hold back inner emotions of fear, anxiety, and hope. Even a simple Psychiatrist would find it very difficult to evaluate someone with so many troubles, all of which had been rarely expressed by the patient. However, as Dominion attempted to explain the situation and calm his nerves, Atzo walked out from behind some trees. Atzo appeared to have fangs... Dominion realized that his opinion of Atzo's animal was more fact than an idea. Atzo now made the appearances of a Wolf, as Dominion had predicted when they fought the snake. On Atzo's shoulder was the piece of paper Dominion had used to scribble words down. Dominion smiled his eyes beginning to tear up, so was Dominion pleased that Atzo had gotten his message... Dominion didn't question the fact that Atzo hadn't moved the paper from his shoulder. Dominion quickly ran over to hug Atzo. "Atzo, I am so glad you got my message but we must hurry! Your blue haired friend is in trouble. 4 Nepents surround him from all sides, and it is only a matter of time before he realizes he is in checkmate." Dominion realized that he made a chess reference. The last time he had ever focused on chess was with Wolfie. Where his friend had gone, he did not know, but the blue haired man was much more important. Dominion removed his arms from around Atzo, took a couple steps back, and turned to each repectively. "Domarus, Atzo, Dominion" Dominion said very quickly, most likely the fastest greeting he had ever made. "Atzo is a friend of the blue haired man... I think. We exactly remember how we met. Basically, the blue haired man doesn't know me well enough to trust me, but I have seen the way the man looked to Atzo. It is as if he didn't know any more than myself." Dominion could only put faith in his words that Domarus would realize the similarities between Himself and Solomon. They both put their faith in there chosen leader, both trusted them respectively to pull through in times of chaos and fear. However, this was a long stretch and Dominion didn't have the time to explain with words. "We must follow Rhozarth".

@Domarus

Dominion knew that healers were not easy to come upon, and to this man, that would hopefully be a good omen. However, the last time he had confronted this beast that dwelt in the sands, he found himself taking large amounts of damage. He would have to plan ahead for that situation. However, Dominion let the man finish his first sentence, which was really organizing Dominion's thoughts. Dominion listened to the man basically accept his offer, although there were some words about teleport crystals. Amazingly enough, Dominion had never heard of these "teleport crystals" before, and decided to ask about them. He got the idea that, whatever they were, they could be very helpful if combat would go out of hand. Dominion asked his question, "What are teleport crystals...?" Dominion began to stand up, his body ready for action and combat. "Anyway, we can discuss this stuff as we travel through the arid sands."

Dominion had gone around the town for only a couple hours after having taken a break from searching for that blue haired guy. That boy had ran out of the city limits, no longer to be seen for an unprecedented amount of time. Dominion wouldn't worry, there was nothing that could harm that guy to his knowledge. Dominion reached over his shoulder to grasp the hilt of the massive great ax. "So, I have a book of instructions to something, the basic knowledge to open this thing-" Dominion swipes open his notifications rather suddenly. He had definitely put it to muscle memory. "And, I know that this place is a city of lots of people. The next step for me to take... what must it be?" Dominion said to himself as he let go of the hilt. Returning his arm to his side casually, Dominion moved forward... except he stopped. There was something big in that direction, and he dazzled. This was incredible architecture for a simple game... It looked so real. Dominion could see two people, well, actually three. One he had met a couple hours before. "Hey, short time seen a lot, If you promise, I promise as well." Dominion moved to stand beside the man, his expression as joyous in life as ever, even though the ax would say otherwise. "Don't forget that humans were and still are, given a choice. It is our job to Carpe Diem. That is that is how you will find what you seek." Dominion turned to the other two beside the palace... "The name is Dominion, might I ask yours?

Dominion stood beside Grave as he backed up. Dominion was simply terrified, but he smiled nonetheless. He was about to move to the left but was suddenly swept up in the powerful jaws of the beast. Poison once again coursed through his digital veins. He was getting reapplied with the aliment. Dominion tried to get free of the grip, but found himself only more caught up in the mess. If he struck this creature, he would surely build up the hate to the point of no return. Dominion couldn't have this happen, especially not now. He was relying on Grave, but Grave was failing him. Not intentionally, and Dominion had seen that. Something was against him in these moments of trial, and Dominion could only flail as he was swung about. He would not strike this beast again, so not to trigger more hate from the beast. The other head spun over and attempted to swipe Grave in it's massive jaw.

Dominion had overhead some comments at the weird mansion that lead him to this shop. He had been up there due to combat training and having a good time in the forest. There was some talk about equipment being bought, and he had a special order, and as a gift to his soon to be brother, Dominion wanted to pay. He had few people that wanted his equippment, his col, or really any of his items. Solomon was the one person Dominion wanted to help most of all in this game. Dominion walked up to the counter, seeing Atzo as he was ordering other equipment. "Hey Hydra, I am in need to 2 rather custom items from your shop. One of which is a small pendent, the other is a moon shaped crescent to adorn the forhead. If either of these can be done, I would greatly appreciate it... Also, could you put a special insignia on front of each of these respectively?". Dominion handed over a page with the inscription written on, one that hadn't been seen by anyone except Dominion.... besides Solomon.

Otherwise, it remains unreachable to any person, even the closest of friends.

Dominion got an invitation by word and story. That was the best Dominion could come up with as he attemped to teleport for his first time ever past the sixth floor. Somehow, he found himself with Enma on his right shoulder, not dressed for the occasion whatsoever. Solomon stood beside him, looking confused. This was a strange situation to be in. There was a supposed wedding taking place, but Dominion didn't know what that meant. However he did bring a gift for the people celebrating, but he would wait until the end of the celebration to give it to whoever it was. They made there was to what seemed like a congreagating assembly. Enma was defintely not interested by the decorations, to which Dominion gave a sign, allowing Enma to run off from the main sight. Solomon watched as people moved about, as if they were taking seats. Dominion remained standing with Solomon at his side.

Dominion moved back a little bit, his expression was a mischievous smile. He could hear Atzo speak from the side, his words were definitely intense. Dominion almost thought he heard the voice of leadership, but then it sort of trailed into something else. Atzo wanted to run... and honestly Dominion had to agree. Running from an aggravated snake was definitely not something he wouldn't be proud of. Monkeys and snakes didn't like each other. So, Dominion gave Atzo a bit of time, jumping over the body twice. He moved around very swiftly, evading the fierce head of the snake. He only needed to give Atzo a running start, because he would catch up to him in no time. Suddenly moving his foot in the sand to support his body, he suddenly launched himself from the ground. Now Dominion followed Atzo, running in the supposed direction of the main town. The quest was complete, they ran from a snake... Today was a great day.

Dominion waited several moments in the trees. The last straw came moments later, as Ren was seen in the distant clearing. He seemed as though he was lost, but quickly found the path again. Dominion would surely follow this man, since he knew him vaguely from the first days in SAO. Dominion gave a hand sign and dropped to the ground, Enma soon to follow. Enma jumped up onto his shoulder and came with as he walked several paces behind Ren. As Ren approached the building, Dominion decided to have some fun. While he stood at the doorway, waiting for someone to answer, Dominion moved to the left side of the mansion. Swiftly, he grabbed hold of a piece of the wall and began to climb. It took a second of silence, but he found his way to the roof. There, Dominion found a great place to sit and surveyed the environment atop the roof. He heard a Familiar voice from inside the building. Atzo was here, which meant they were congregating for some reason... Dominion turned his head to give a glance to Enma. Neither of them wanted to leave their perch, but it seemed the best thing to do.

Dominion landed on another large branch, mid height to the surrounding tree trunks. He was on the second floor for one reason and one reason only... Enma liked this floor. Enma felt most at home on this floor than any Dominion had been to before. The trees were a nice shade of green, there was some clearings but they were rare. Dominion was wearing his battle gear, his Monkey Armor equipped. However, he was no longer wearing his spirit monkeys, as he did not require them for his current training. There was no combat, but instead acrobatics like never before seen. He leaned back while moving forward his hips. This allowed him to fall, his legs clasping over the branch while his body hung like a monkey in the trees. However, Enma was a showoff and did it much quicker and with much better technique. "Hey Enma, you don't have to show off ya know! I will be just as good as you in due time, trust me!" Dominion said, a smile worn on his face. He felt great, his territory allowed him to be himself, and allowed him to practice the kung fu techniques that he hadn't done in literal years. However, Dominion caught sight of someone he recognized walking through the forest. However, Dominion though it was just coincidence, as usual. Then, he saw yet another person he recognized. He had black hair, about his height... Aoda! Dominion was curling up in order to greet him, but he heard something a bit further off. Shield and Beat approached, but he didn't recognize them. Dominion remained in the trees, hidden from view unintentionally. He turned to look down at Enma, who now sat beside him on the branch. "What should we do?"

Dominion walked along side Aoda, maintaining his relaxed posture. Enma continued to cross his arms, his eyes slightly raised toward the horizon. Dominion suddenly heard a noise in the distance, which was probably the snow of a tree crashing down to the earth. This sound would normally not have reached Aoda or Dominion, had not there position and placement echoed. Also, a the ground shook lightly as they moved. "If I do remember correctly, we have found Avalanche", Dominion said placing his arms to his sides. He turned his head to nod to Aoda, and then broke off into a swift run. Dominion ran around the town of the first floor every other morning to build a sense of natural speed in this game. He was very quick, but he expected Aoda would be able to hold his own. Upon taking several turns and jumps, Dominion found himself in the perfect positions for combat. However, before he could be warned by Enma, who jumped off his shoulder suddenly, Dominion was struck down by a large leg. Pinned beneath it's feet, Dominion yelled a strange word. "Jump", which Enma apparently understood. Enma lunged up and landed a solid spin move on the leg. It was shifted on Dominion, but was not quite enough force to make it move. Dominion was looing up at the sky, it's appearance was beautiful. He then called out to his friend Aoda, who had trailed behind because of Dominion's breakaway run. "Well, it would appear that Avalanche is over here".

Dominion was stopped abruptly with a black metallic hand on his shoulder. Domarus spoke from what seemed like a distant echoing metallic machine, "stop, you need to refocus yourself. Panicking will cause you to mess up. Now, do you actually know where this player is or Rhozarth fly through the forest to find him?". Dominion was not scared by the armor, as he was too fearful of losing a life. However, the sudden halt added with the leadership voice of his friend did give him a second to clear his mind again. He stood silent for a second, his hands at his sides, his head tilted toward the ground. When he looked up again, he knew what he would do. "You must know what I am going through from experience?" Dominion remembered something about Domarus having a somewhat rough upbringing through school and other means. Dominion put little thought into his response, "Yes, the man ran into the brush, only several feet into the underbrush. Navigating where he is would be difficult for even me, but somehow that player did it with ease. Then, four Nepent's targeted him and he became cornered in a safe environment", Dominion said this, allowing his knowledge to reach Domarus' ears. "If Rhozarth is able to hear the cries of Nepents from all the way over here, it would be a more accurate method to find the player."

Dominion didn't expect to hear that quest name, even though he basically knew someone on this floor was bound to say it. He could remember his abdomen flowing green, poisonous pixels as his body began to lose massive amounts of health. The two headed serpent of myth was definitely a force to be reckoned with for players without sword arts and only evasive armor. One solid hit from that mob and you death was almost guaranteed. He did not want to relive that moment again, if at all possible. However, he had changed much since that combat had ensued and Dominion would likely do fine against such a field boss at his current level. Weighing the options in his head, he came up with a definitive conclusion. "Well Husky, if it is not too much trouble, I would like to join you in this quest. I have no idea how much you can use someone with damage output, but my main build at the moment is a healer. I one in few you can find in Aincrad at the moment, so my talents and skills are highly sought after. However, I stick to being with the lower levels, since they usually have the more enjoyable life stories." Dominion laughed, remembering the players he had adventured with on the third, fourth, fifth floors. They all had seemed scared to journey, but it was clear that this guy was in no way new. He had attained the martial arts skill already, and was probably focusing on much more important things. Nevertheless, Dominion would wait for his new friend to accept him as a teammate or rejected him as an associate.

Dominion lifted his torso again, as he could hear kids in the distance calling for "Sis". Dominion had never heard that term before, nor did he ever really hear that name referenced in the real world before. He temporarily waited, realizing that Row had made mention of Acronyms several weeks prior. Maybe, just maybe, Raina was trying to use a shorter acronym for something... Suddenly, it clicked in his mind. However, his idea didn't fit the rules. Raina and Sis were likely spelled completely differently, unlike Dominion and Dom. He masked his confusion under a genuine smile. These were kids, clear of mind. They would soon adventure and learn as he had done and is currently still doing. Dominion realized that Enma had never met children before and backed away suddenly. Enma maintained perfect balance on his shoulder as he moved, but Dominion turned to face away from them and quickly pushed him off. Enma landed with surprising accuracy on the ground, not caught off guard by this. Dominion pointed to a nearby rooftop and displayed a serious face. Enma uncrossed his arms and swiftly moved toward the building. Dominion moved to stand beside Raina, not to intentionally be close to her, but to greet the kids at their height. He knelt down to them like a Big Brother or Fatherly Figure would do to the incoming (mostly orphan) monks in China. "Well, do you think Raina has what it takes to fight a powerful mob and clear several floors?" He smiled, his messy blond hair shifting slightly with a breeze. He turned his head to look up slightly at Raina, only a couple feet taller than him while he knelt. "I think she could do it." 

@Raina

Dominion teleported, having stepped up onto the teleport pad. He stated aloud, "Teleport, Snowfrost Floor 4", after Aoda had vanished from existence. He suddenly found himself on the teleport pad, but the environment was snowy. They were in a village settlement of some sort, formed by several cabins and cottages. The places were quite elaborate in comparison to the buildings designed on the first floor, town of beginnings. His arms were resting at his sides, glancing around from right side to left. He had never gotten in trouble for wearing his battle gear on this floor, which gave dominion some relief. He lowered his shoulders slightly and looked back forward to face Aoda, who had stepped off the pad before Dominion had arrived. "Alright Aoda, I think we need to travel out of this area and well will finally find Avalanche. If I am not mistaken, it should take quite a hike to find it. The designers didn't place it nearby for good reason... don't want a field boss like mob to spawn so close to a settlement." Dominion said, his tone as joyful as usual. Enma had a full coat of fur and some worn clothes to keep himself warm, but it was still clear he had no intention of staying long. The terrain was in no way suitable to a monkey's lifestyle, especially one that lived in the famous forest on the first floor. Dominion also took his first step off the teleport pad, placing his hands back behind his head, the spirit monkey finger digits intertwined, positioned to be restful and relaxed.

Dominion grinned when he heard of yet another player with the sword art skill, Martial Arts. The idea that more people were collecting the skill was just another thing to be joyful about in this supposed death game. Dominion was still too focused on the wolf cub to make any other acknowledgement toward Husky. "Woofles... was that a name you came up with that would also be easy to remember?". Dominion refocused on Husky's next statement, "I can agree with that... my familiar won't come into this tavern... I don't know if I will ever be able to convince him to do anything." Dominion said, his grin slightly wavering, but still on his face. "Anyway, my name is Dominion the Monk. If I might ask, what is your name?" Dominion asked Husky. He got the idea that this conversation had something to it, even though it was just as likely nothing but small talk would happen. Placing his hands down on the table in front of him, his spirit monkeys were intertwined with the finger digits, the black engravings of monkeys facing outward.

Dominion smiled, waiting as he sat in his seat. The waiter or waitress would be over sometime, in which he would hopefully know what to ask. People were exiting and entering continuously through the door, but one seemed to focus on him. He noticed the animal by one of the player's side, seemingly happy. Dominion was asked by the man who sat at a table opposite of Dominion, "Sorry to interrupt you, but I have to ask... Are you perhaps a martial art user?". Dominion was surprised by the question, brought up so suddenly by the stranger. Dominion didn't mind making conversation with players coming to the tavern. That exact question had come up very recently in other introductions, but he still found it hard to explain. He didn't have the marital art ability yet, but he had studied in martial arts since he was very young. He didn't think much before he replied, moving his hands behind his neck. "I don't have that sword art in this game... but yes, I have trained in martial arts back in China." Dominion realized that he didn't have the appearance of a china-man, but he was there none the less. Dominion smiled to the stranger. "Might I ask what your wolf's name is?", Dominion moved his head to the side, trying to get a decent look at it. He had left Enma out in the environment. Enma preferred not to enter any buildings, not really wanting the interaction.

Enma, the monkey of legend, was capable of many things. While being followed by Solomon, he was giving his location away. One trait that no player could give him was predictable. He grabbed the note and then jumped out to hide himself within the bag of a player walking a dirt path, leading in the direction of the forest.The player turned, realizing that something heavy had entered his bag while Rhozarth shot out of the building after the wind. Rhozarth flew in what would have been the correct direction, had not Enma relocated himself in the baggage of another player. He knew exactly where to go... besides the fact that he didn't know which player to go to. The best guess that had been given to Enma from his experiences was the forest, where the monkey had just been with Dominion. Remaining completely silent, in the baggage, Enma found that they were going to near the tree line. Strategically speaking, Enma was a prankster at heart, being part monkey. Therefore, Enma didn't jump out of the luggage as the player passed through the plains for who knows what reason. Time seemed to slow down while inside the bag, but as soon as the player had gotten close to the tree lining, Enma grabbed the baggage and jumped out. Getting to the trees, Enma found it a great deal easier to hide amongst the trees. He grabbed one branch after the next in quick succession, lowering and raising his level to the ground at random increments, until Enma suddenly noticed a player sitting down. Jumping down, Enma landed on the players shoulder. Placing the note by his ear, Enma left the scene, completely unseen. This was Enma's original home. Having done his "job", he returned to his old clearing, the waterfall deeper in the forest. Atzo, if he were to read the message that fell onto his shoulder from what could only be the wind, would see written: FiND NOW, SoloMOn In TrOUble.

Dominion had no doubt in his little friend... except for the fact that all the stuff Dominion just did was off a whim, and nothing more. Dominion was not sure how Enma would take meeting Rhozarth, if by some amazing chance Rhozarth could find him. Enma was not a common monkey, and seemed to do things that were almost unbelievable. Sometimes, he would show an expression that gave off the impression for combat. Dominion did not have the time before hand to explain anything to Enma, having gotten the familiar most recently. He would need to somehow make it understand at a later time. Either way, Dominion had to have more faith in the letter being delivered. He took a deep breath as he opened the door again. This time, Domarus would be following him to the site while wearing the Armor and wielding the Ax that would protect Solomon. They had to protect Solomon. If that couldn't happen, everything would go wrong, and Dominion would likely fall into dispair. Dominion walked forward, a quick pace beneath his feet. He was beyond flustered at this point. He seemed to be caught off guard by the simplest of things. Dominion looked up to see Rhozarth flying. Why Rhozarth just flying overhead, Dominion had no idea. He was suddenly caught off guard by a random player passing by, hitting his shoulder with the man's. Dominion did his best to maintain his calmness Dominion knew exactly where to go, but it seemed easier to just follow Rhozarth. He didn't realize that Rhozarth would have no idea where Solomon was, but Dominion had a lot on his mind as they walked through the plains.
