Vale

ID: 88916 | LD: 4+6=10

With the roar fest, all the panthers had complete disinterest in Vale at this point. The only one that would look at her, was the one she fed which roared at her and began walking away. Vale took this as a sign to probably follow the beast, thus she did walk in stride with the majestic rare beast. While they walked Vale wondered if the beast could understand her so she decided to ask a simple question, "So does that mean you're my familiar?" The beast nodded once, "Just to make sure you understand me, can you nod twice." The beast responded in kind to demonstrate they could technically communicate, "Does that mean you're going to fight with me and do as I say?" She wanted to be thorough and understand just what lengths she could work with her pet, which promptly shook its head.

After the beast finished its meal provided by the Panther-like woman, it shrugged its head in a manner to say follow. Vale did just that, following the larger than normal cub back over to its mother. The special panther cub roared at its mother when sitting down, the mother roared back. This went back and forth a few times, unsure of what to do Vale twiddled her thumbs and looked around trying to not make any noise as to not interrupt the beasts conversation. Eventually the roaring stop and all the beasts began to look at Vale. The feeling of being watched now at an all-time high she looked at the beast she fed and looked back at the Matriarch. WIth that the Matriarch nodded to her and the entire clan of panthers began to roar out. Vale began to panic in her head despite not showing it in her actions.

Inside the Cave there sat an unusually larger panther cub, with a scar across it's face leading from just under the left eye to above the nose ending just under the right eye. This panther cub in particular also had bright purple writing upon the creature including a purple glowing crescent moon on the right side of it's face. The cub looked at Vale unamused, Vale sat down and pulled out a slab of sacred minotaur meat. It wasn't the fancy one that she managed to get from Groff, but she had faced many a beast in her past having extra's of the slab was just waiting to be used up. The panther got up from it's laying position and walked over to Vale, beginning to heat the meat. Vale held her hand up to the beast, expecting it to swipe at her hand it nuzzled her hand for a second then batted it away so it could eat more food. Atleast she had gained the creature to respect her being there.

She looked at the primary Matriarch, her eyes glared deep into Vales she following in kind by staring deep into the Matriarch's eyes. It was as if she was communicating with the beast on a spiritual level or something, for whatever reason it felt absolutely magical in her mind to have this kind of interaction with an animal of nature. The Matriarch looked into the cave where her primary offspring resided, the Matriarch then shifted her head slightly to look back at Vale and flick her head to indicate to head there. Vale followed the body language and did just as she thought the Matriarch wanted. Just before approaching the den she grabbed a loose panther fang. And prayed into it hoping for the best results before putting the fang into her inventory.

It was about time Vale at least get up off the ground and not just play with the cubs, she needed to prove to the Panthers that she was indeed worthy of their kin. Something she knew she would still have time for regardless if she had obtained the acceptance from the beast at least. But it was urgent enough to warrant trying to impress the larger ones effective immediately. As she made her way from the pawing panther cubs, she scooped up a large bundle of Shadowpride loose fur knowing this would be helpful for something major in the future. Vale put the loose fur into a vial and placed it into her inventory. With it out of her way, her demeanor changed as she looked at the Matriarch the one panther that not even the patriarch would look directly at.

There was another rock near, but the girl couldn't get to it because the Panther cub was beginning to fall asleep on top of the Neko girl. She rolled slightly to lay the panther on its side, using the moment she quickly got to her knee's to reach the second rock and put it in her inventory. Then went back to petting the panther cub laying down on its side, using her paws to help scratch the black furred cat's belly. The panther seemingly loved it and stretched to get even more comfortable. Other little panther cubs began to get slightly jealous of the time and attention that first cub was getting. They began to walk up and rub their heads on her, she laughed even more happily and attempted to pet each and every single panther cub that sat around her.

After a few minutes later the Panther Patriarch stopped and brought its body into a laying position so Vale would be able to get off the beast. Immediately a cluster of panthers were beginning to surround her, Vale loved this dearly holding her paw out so the panthers would sniff it. Not too long after sniffing her paws did the little cubs climb on top of her to try and lick her face and rub their heads against hers. Vale couldn't help but giggle and laugh as it was somewhat tickling, while down on the ground petting the panthers she saw a small rock that was special to this region. Vale took a short pause from petting to acquire the rock and return to petting the adorable but thick-skinned cubs. This was as happy a life as she could have at the moment.

The massive panther was beginning to slow down as it was beginning to approach it's den where the rest of the family of Panthers to this one resided. Vale couldn't exactly tell what the scenery was like, but the giant tree's that stretched so high they felt as though the disappeared into the sky with beams of light managing to make its way through the canopy. Albeit the light was not strong enough to reach all the way down in the area that Vale stood it made a wonderfully beautiful looking thing to gaze upon with the fast-moving beast. Something she would not have been able to perceive if she was doing the movement herself, sometimes even if the transportation is slower, it can change the entire feel of it through the feeling of peace alone.

As Vale rode the back of the beast she couldn't help but reach her hand out with claws one hand completely extended. Being patient she went with the flow of the wind like she did in her martial arts training way back in her life. The wind pressure was enough to let her get an idea of where a material was dangling at that she could reach without jumping. Just as the moment presented itself Vale ripped her claw in a number of different ways clawing the air enough times to have an apple drop in her hand and split a bunch of times revealing all the seeds inside the fruit to be harvested for her alchemical purposes. Satisfied that even in this world her training from ages past was still prevalent and not made obsolete by a system controlled environment.

The Panther finally accepted the woman worth riding upon the patriarchs back so the rest of the Shadowpride kin could begin their judgment over the panther-like woman. As Vale pulled away from the tree, she managed to yank off more bark with her hand causing her to laugh some more. Ironically she was having so much fun despite technically being in a highly dangerous position. She inserted the bark into her inventory and mounted the backside of the panther patriarch. Within a moment of her getting situated on the back of the massive beast, it began to charge through the forest at speeds Vale could easily surpass. But it was nice to be carried by the beast and it gave her a sense of closeness with the Patriarch, there were a lot of thoughts just simply buzzing through her mind at once.

It took a fair bit of time, but the Neko managed to find herself a Shadowpride Patriarch. Vale whistled gently which she read was the appropriate thing to do in order to get the attention of the Panther. The massive beast turned to look at Vale, it turned around and walked to her, the feeling of the need to freeze became evident, despite the cubs start out at only roughly the knee-high level of someone averaged size, The beasts could grow up to fifteen feet in size. Vale put out her paw-like hand which took the panther patriarch by surprise. It sniffed her hand then slowly began to sniff her all around. The girl couldn't help but laugh as the wiggling nose was tickling her all over. It was almost embarrassing if it weren't a panther and a human instead. While her back was against a tree she managed to pull off some tree bark with her other hand grabbing onto the tree.

The fog was getting thicker and heavier for the girl, making it more and more difficult to isolate any creature, let alone small little materials that she often passed over in clear views. Scratching her head she continued to prowl about looking around for any tracks or any other bit of information she could gather from the area in order to achieve her goal. Seeing some footprints akin to a large cat, she found her first clue and began to follow the path it leads. She didn't care how long it took for her to meet with the Shadowpride, she just hoped she found the familiar and escaped the forest before the night time came up. The Shadowpride were feared by many an NPC that they had completely abandoned any path that leads into the Great Depths, she was one of only few who was willing to traverse it.

As often as Vale found a material, she was also finding herself pulling her hands up emptyhanded as well. This, in essence, didn't bother her at all just made the patience that it took to find a Shadowpride Panther and to follow it back to its den all that much more annoying to wait for. The nice thing that came with being in their nest area during the day was the fact the adult and children panthers approach you as they look for masters worthy enough to follow. It was an extremely rare thing for a Shadowpride Panther to allow one of its kin to follow a human but it was not impossible for one to earn their trust. Vale read up everything she could about the Shadowpride Panthers cause they reminded her mostly of herself. It was quaint to the panther-woman.

Vale was quite skeptical that the essence was not following her and waiting to catch her in a terrible moment. But she couldn't act as if she were going to be attacked, she wasn't the one to change her ideals and choices by the actions of another. Focused she continued forward sifting her hands through bushes having to rely more on the search and detect skill now more than ever before. Digging through the bush she found the carcass of some insects, something that would definitely be useful. Although most girls were very disgusted by bugs, Vale was never honestly bothered by them. She loved watching ant trails, moths in flight, seeing the various other insects interact with plant life. Something about it just brought peace to her soul.

The trip into the Great Depths was one that Vale was somewhat dreading, it's deep enough in the cavern that one cannot see well due to the sheer haze glossed over with their bare eyes. Luckily with Vale's practice in Search and Detect, entering the forest she had better visibility than she anticipated. Though the range of sight was still heavily limited, it made looking through the foliage all the much harder due in part that without the strong sunlight she wasn't able to get good looks into nooks and crannies. She knew during the day the Shadowpride Panthers were non-hostile and it was possible to befriend the beasts, but at night they are heavily territorial and want no one to be in their midst during their aggression time.

The long slender figured man had finally entered the master bedroom of her own personal master bedroom. All the rooms in the house were in immaculate care, as though it were constantly cleaned every day. And it was a known fact the game did register dust collecting on surfaces and what not, but never was there a single sign of a butler or a maid to clean up the home. Vale looked as the boy joined the absolutely stunning well toned martial artist in her own bath, "How are you this fine day Spencer?" She stood up and sat beside him, "I don't want you to be too cold. Let me sit beside you for extra warmth." She smiled.

She looked at Spencer when he asked her how she had been, "I've been good, constantly fighting a plethora of monsters and pushing myself to the limit. But life is a lot better now than it was a few months ago." She admitted to the young man, pulling up her inventory she sifted through the few unidentified items she had absolutely no use for, turning her attention back to Spencer, "Do you want anything? I have a bunch of stuff here that is just going to clutter my inventory for days." She asked the boy with a blank face as she scrolled through her list of owned items.

Vale almost dozed off when her ear twitched to the door opening, her search and detect skill had definitely come a long way from her first days actually material hunting back in the day. She sat up and shouted up, "I hope you have a bathing suit ready, I'm in the jacuzzi up in here!" Trying her best to get her words to travel throughout the decorated mansion. She turned back around resting her head once again on a towel rolled up to double as a pillow and shoulder rest. The girl was wearing black bathing suit cloth tied at the bottom of bosom and the bottoms tied at her hips. She was in bliss at this place, and having company here to enjoy it with her was just all that more enticing.

She awaited the man to approach, until then she reached and activated her inventory pulling out a song list that Jomei had created for her where she sang for him.  His overlaying of the music onto her voice was simply sublime, she couldn't get over the beats he put into the songs that were played through little recording crystals. Having music at her disposal where-ever she went was the greatest luxury she had found herself to have.

As Vale reached the edge of town she triggered her wild-running, getting down to running on all four of her paws she traversed great distances quickly synergizing it with her charge skill's passive. After a decent amount of time elapsed, she began to reach the Forest that resided in the deep chasm on the far side of the discovered map from the Town. Over in this dense misty forest held a regal looking group of panthers, known as the Shadow Pride. Powerful panthers that lurk and stalk their prey with keen eyesight and precise power. Once she was closing in on the entrance to the Great Deaths, she looked around the mass amount of foliage around her managing to find a flower worthwhile of her time to collect.

Vale was just dressing down to get herself a luxurious bath in the massive bath set in the master bathroom. As she reached the undergarments she noticed a yellow notification pop up on her hud in the form of a message. She selected the message and immediately the name Spencer popped up, "Oh the cute one that was with us during the dungeon delving." She said as she put a piece of chocolate in her mouth, "I would love to see the man again. But today is my spa day, I am not traveling. Shouldn't hurt to have him to my manner." She told herself as she typed up a reply and sent him coordinates to her location

Hey there Spencer! I'm just enjoying a relaxing day in my home. The level disparity doesn't matter if we're not hunting. Why not come on over and enjoy the day with me, I'm doing a spa day I don't know if you're interested in that kind of thing. But would be nice to have the extra company.

PS. Just come In.

After she sent the message she swapped from her clothes into a two-piece bathing suit and sitting down comfortably in the heated water. She laid her head back and rested in the jacuzzi like amenity that came with the Mansion she bought during her days of training

The most adorable of the men had come, and Vale couldn't help but constantly shift her eyes and look at Spencer as he had introduced himself. Every now and again with Macradon's bellowing voice would she get distracted and listen to the man, nodding with the man, "I think Silver is a much more intriguing name, it's adorable yet masculine at the same time." She stated after Macradon made the compliment on his birth name, "But we'll only call you what you wished to be called." She stated. Then here good friend Macradoodle as she had dubbed him in her head, swapped to his entire battle regalia as she was used to seeing, He was more in spirit for doing the dungeon before anything else, Vale rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Alright alright, but at least let us stop by the sixth floor, I just have to drop something off and we can make our way to the dungeon Macradon-dono." She said with a bit of humor in her voice.

Vale looked at Spencer, seeing him mumble to himself while blushing just ate Vale up. She quickly approached the boy and smiled, "You know you're quite adorable." She smiled genuinely at the man, "You have nothing to worry about with me around." her ear twitched cutely as she raised her paw up to her head, "I can promise we'll protect everyone here without a shadow of a doubt in my mind." Turning to look at Macradon and the rest of the group, "Lets head to town then!" She said happily and began walking forward toward Snowfrost Village where the Teleportation gate resided.
 

The Neko girl stretched as she warped on the sixth floor, needing to go to the great depths for hunting of a specific breed of panthers. She brought up her inventory to bring out the song that was written for her by Jomei. She smiled knowing about the special effect it had, all she had to do was sing the words while the music played. Following just as she was instructed to do, the panther girl recited the words. A small pink aura enveloped her for the entire duration of the chant, she felt as though the random critters were looking at Vale more than the other wildlife or players. She was shocked that the song would have such an immediate feeling effect. With that Vale smiled, she had all she needed in order to find the perfect familiar to join her in her dastardly escapades. Vale began rushing her way out of the town to begin the hunt for the panther cub of her desire.

With the Mimic Defeated, Vale and Jomei stood victorious near each other. They had cleared the quest, and all there was to do was either continue hunting since it was still just mid-day. Or they could call it a night and focus on getting stronger the next day. Neither really mattered to Vale, as long as she got to spend more time with Jomei who was teaching her a lot just by his actions. Was something she was more privy too, The girl looked at the fighter and smiled, "Lets take this back to town and figure out the next move." She laughed and smiled at Jomei, hoping to ease the situation of what had occurred only a dozen or so minutes earlier.

As the skull of the giant beast put pressure on the hill of sand, it began to roll, revealing a small trap door in the sand. Vale still in shock over what had just happened once again, she could feel as though the essence itself was speaking about her. Even Jomei had admitted that he had never seen anything like that. She looked around and noticed the now visible trap door, "Hey what about that over there." She said trying desperately to change the topic and try to get over to safety. She quickly rushed over and opened it, revealing a small little hideaway spot with a chest inside. Immediately she saw the mouth open and begin to charge out. Utilizing her charge skill she launched herself a good way from the Mimic that struggling to pull it's large head out. With it having a wide-open spot, Vale took the opportunity to launch kick it out of the spot it jammed itself in. Allowing it to get up in the open air to more easily handle the creature.

The girl was running through her material supply and quite soon was she already out. After she spent more time dabbling around with the eye drops she was creating, she realized that there were only three materials left. Not nearly enough in order to get another days crafting in. Vale looked in the information broker's handbook for tips on the better places to look for materials. Somewhere it said Floor 9, due to the intense heat of this floor most players just steer clear of the zone unless they are running quests. With her mind set since she needed to defeat the Cerberus, she made her way out for what would be a life-changing experience for her adventurings days. A time where she would be tested once again.
