Hestia

The artificial light drifted into the way of the small little shop within the crystal lines cavern. The sub’s rays reflecting off of each of the rocks and lighting up the should be darkened cavern. The soft running stream from the melted snow drifting its way through the interior. The shop’s owner lets out a soft sigh from her lips as she just stares up at the ceiling out of just a sense of unknown. It’s been awhile since she walked around or did anything to help the people of aincrad. She tried once with the labyrinth but that same biting unknown of something feeling off had clawed at her. That she should being doing something or achieving something, and yet the unknown had pulled her away. The once loud call of the frontlines and progressing has faded away into a silence that has now left her without a direction. 

The sensation of fur touching her hand that had been hanging off of the couch she had been laying upon directs her attention to her ever faithful companion. “Hey there Kuro what are you up to now?” The tired voice asks of her familiar as the lion just rests beside her upon the floor folding its midnight wings back as the lion licks the hand that had let its white fur. The girl just lets out a smile the break having surprising mellowed out her familiar as she had enjoyed that fact. The lion having seemingly grown use to the break from battle and adopted a more passive outlook upon things. “I wonder if I should do something. I know I’ve heard some mumbling of a new quest or whatever. But at this point there is no use for that. I’ve reached the top I can just relax like Itza always said to try and do.” A soft chuckle escapes her lips at that name. Her once friend who had disappeared off the face of Aincrad who had helped her be in her feet during her first leg of the journey. Now just simply gone. With a sigh of acceptance she slowly pushing herself to a ditto BF position and glances about the shop being empty from her not working it at all. The only symbol of it being a shop being the simple guitar hanging above the counter where she would stand having the name of Apollo engraved upon it and the image of a lion on it as well. “The Grecian greats. I wonder how floor seventeen is doing maybe I should pay that a visit eventually it’s been awhile since I’ve been there.” She smiles at the thought it’s been awhile for certain since the last she was there for was helping Kairi her her shop open. “Still can’t believe she named it after a Norse thing she coulda at least kept to the Greek theme.” The amused voice of Hestia says as she then lets out a short whistle grabbing the attention of her familiar as the black haired girl makes her way out of her shop and once more Into Aincrad to gra VC a few supplies. 
Making her way through the cavern with little effort since it was her joke of which she has gotten use to traversing she exits the cave and into the more unforgiving weather. The coldness hits her body as a gust of wind blows right through her as she shivers within her place. Quickly equipping from her inventory a nice winter jacket along with gloves she smiles as the warmth slowly returns to her as she starts making the hike from her hike towards the main settlement. The sun being high in the sky reflecting off the snow causing her to squint her eyes while traversing forward to avoid feeling like her eyes were becoming blind. The young girl moving for a few miles since she has made her shop a place even player killers could visit at the cost of a rather nice location at least in her mind. After 20 minutes of waking she arrived at Snowfrost as t he simple town of snow and wooden cabins comes intact her view. Slowly opening her eyes more she smiles when entering it as the energy of people about fills her. The talkative chatter that fills conversations that she passes by from players or NPCs going about their day. The simple sounds of Chimes ringing from the winds gentle breeze. Hestia makes her way to a simple food store just to buy some groceries to cook her meals with as she enters into the main plaza of the town. As she arrives passing near the teleport pedestal she hears the talk of what she assumes is players. “Are you sure that person was credible?” “Of course they were it wouldn’t be this expensive to know if it wasn’t. Now come on let’s see what this new Cerberus thing is on floor nine.” The voices disappearing as the light envelops them taking them to their designated floor as she finds herself standing still. 

‘Cerberus? How is there a new quest involving him. He is just that thing that was rather simple.’ She thinks time herself with a slight smile gracing her lips at the thought of seeing if they made the guardian of the underworld more fitting. She glances at the teleport pedestal with interest feeling tempted to at least investigate whether or not Cerberus has been updated. ‘I mean it’s better then being in my shop most likely?’ She thinks to herself being Mixed on the decision. Since she has no reason to do this far from it, but it’ll also equally be nice to get out of her shop and get a breathe of fresh virtual air. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to at least check it out. I’ve already eaten today so I guess I can do this...hopefully quickly I don’t want another three day hike that is so annoying.” She says to herself with a smile upon her face chuckling a bit remembering her traveling with her friend Kimi and how that ended for her. Making her way over she stands upon the teleport pad and says the simple command phrase. “Teleport floor nine.” 

With the defeat of the pumpking i just nod my head and then glances towards jomei and macradon as the fact that they had to deal with whatever that ghost of the past was comes to mind as i can only wonder what that would be like. To face what was once a friend even if it was just a monster. Seems easy from a outside perspective. I say softly to myself knowing that i couldn't ever in my dreams at the moment relate to what jomei might've been going through as i walk towards the ginger and just looks at him. So who was he to you jomei? I know that he was a former knight of the bloodoath according to what macradon was saying and that he was your friend as well. Though i guess he was important. If you want to talk at all about it if i can help you with this i am here for you. I say in a gentle tone of voice knowing i couldn't really offer much besides a ear to listen to any stories about whoever that was having only picked up snippets here and there from the combat to get some ideas of what was actually being said. From the nonstop talking pumpkin, the focus on surviving, and the sounds of swords and slamming vines a lot of noise was occurring making it hard to hear anything else besides the battle at hand instead of the words being said.
#131533 LD:8  Damage taken (which would justb e like maybe 0 if you did after mit but meh it's all i got)

I raise an eyebrow just seeing the form of a humanoid zombie appear as i just shrug not knowing who or what the person is as i just prepare myself for what is going to go down as i take the hit from one of the king's vines just toughing through it with absolute ease as i look towards both the king and the new threat. Well then with this being done and said with it may look like a old friend to you macradon and jomei, but at the end of the day it's just a hollow replica a equivalent to a illusion most likely as long as we kill the king then the fake of a friend will go also. I say towards the two just wanting to offer something to hopefully keep the heads within the fight since seeing a old friend come to try and kill everybody would be rather disturbing no matter how one could try to logically deny no matter what. Just slamming the pommel of my blade against the shield i activate howl once more as i stare forward and shout forward towards the enemies in front of me. Do you honestly think summoning a fake image of somebody that is dead will break morale! All you doing is summoning a illusion at the end  of the day. The dead is dead and no matter what if you bring them back or not the words they say are meaningless since they aren't the words of the people who died.

Nodding my head i look towards Macradon and then just follow him into the labyrinth not feeling a need myself to grab a piece of chalk since at the end of the day we're finding the labyrinth and then fighting against the labyrinth guardian itself which means getting back to the town can be as simple as a teleport crystal away. Okay so monsters can appear at any corner of this place, and finding the town again is hard. Good to know and good thing i have teleport crystals at the ready then encase things get bad, but with both you and Zandra i think will be fine. I say towards Macradon with a grin upon my face not knowing enough about morgenstern's new build to see how well it'd go for him in a fight. Ignoring the chalk man myself i glance about the labyrinth only able to hear the possible noises of creatures walking about somewhere in this giant labyrinth of stone and death. Glancing towards Macradon i just nod my head. So then what kind of creatures did you fight? Anything with new abilities or things to be wary of compared to the stuff back from the other floors?

Info

Looking at the enemy i once more find myself wrapped up in its vines as i just grit my teeth dealing with being dragged and then having to look towards the giant king with just a small grin upon my face as i know my familair will come to help me out of this plight that i am dealing with. Once hearing him done speaking i just start laughing a bit unable to help myself as i think about what i just heard. Oh please if you think Zandra is ruthless and cruel you have another thing coming buddy. She is only like that towards her enemies, and right now you're probably on her s***t list pal. So enjoy burning by her axe you false king! I shout towards the large pumpkin as it moves me away from the fight only to have my familiar break through the vines once more as i can only close my eyes as the sight of the ground getting rapidly closer comes into view. I wince from the impact of body meets ground unable to help myself as i then get back up towards my feet with a grin upon my face. I'm up and okay! I shout towards the others as i then look towards the king with a smirk. Come on king what's wrong can't keep hold of one armored girl who isn't even trying to dodge your attacks! I shout over towards the pumpkin.

#130019 BD:7 broke free

Looking towards the king as i then glance towards the bombs just seeing them advance while ignoring my howl ability against them making it so that they can do whatever it is they will do. I watch as zandra swipe out through a wave of them alongside Macradon as i just nod my head figuring thsoe bombs will probably end them with their combined strike. With my sword and shield ready to take another attack i just look towards the king as i avoid the next attack once more with a amused look in my eyes. Oh really a king that can't hit the slowest person in this group players. So come on pumpking if you wanted to kill anybody here you woulda been better at dealing damage or hitting others besides me. So the worst you are doing is just stalling for something else is that all you are doing? Just being a stalling factor so that jack or one of the other event bosses can try to do against this town. I ask in a curious tone of voice just waiting to see how this will play out since so far it seems that things are being cleared out rather easily.

Slamming the pommel of my blade against my shield a metalic gong rings out across the battlefield as i enhance the sound with my howl making sure the pumpking focuses towards myself with a grin upon my face making sure the hate stay upon me as i tag the small jack-o-bombs as well to make sure that thigns really stay upon me. Come one! Come all! To hestia's tank emporium where you! Yes you! Will get the one in the life time chance to try and take down a frontliner! What say you king want to dethrone the unkillable hestia! I shout towards the pumpking not beleiving my own arrogance or words just wanting to have fun as i blatantly steal a bit of Jack's schtick that he had this halloween festival as i target the king and the bombs. Seeing a vine come down towards me i quickly jump towards the side to avoid being grabbed again as i look towards the king with a grin. Looks like you miss! To get another chance to hit me you'll need to pay another 500 col!

Action: Howl +4 hate added to pumpking counter and jack-o-bomb counter.

Looking at the boss i suddenly feel my feet get knocked from underneath me as the vines wrap around my armored form and carries me away from the fight as i just do my best to keep a ire look on what is going on as i see the forms of pumpkins? Small floating pumpkins? Just existing now as they are attacking my allies as i use my shield pressing up against the vines to try and force enough wiggle room for me to breathe as i push against the vines with my sword arm as well. As i try to move my wrist enough while doing so to cut off the vines from my body. Myself having a rather difficult time removing everything from me until i hear a roar as i then feel the impact of something ram into me followed by seeing me get closer towards the ground as i quickly adjust pointing my shield towards the ground and angling my legs to take the brunt of the impact wiht my shield. The sound of a heavy thud is heard as i groan softly and gets up to my feet as i look up to see my familiar kuro flying around above my head. Coulda gave me a warning ya stupid lion. I say with a small grin thankful for the help though as i quickly run back towards the fight ready to try and keep teh hate up on me to fight against whatever is about to go down.

When i reach the fight again i take a calming breathe and prepare for the worst just smiling towards jomei. I am fine jomei you think some pumpkin gonna kill me? I faced worse and come out on top. As long as this thing doesn't have anymore nasty surprises we'll all live through this i think we got this. Honestly though, death by pumpkin has to be more embarrassing then death by boar I say towards my former guild leader with a grin upon my face and all the confidence in the world that i can muster about this fight. They haven't scratched any of us yet tbh. The only surprises we have are now these. jacko bombs. Also, side note do they look like ruby's familiar or is that just me? I ask jomei thinking of the multi colored hair girl and her floating tiny bomb familiar she has.

I smile as i hear a familiar voice speak to me as i turn my head to look towards Morg and goes to open my mouth to say a greeting of some kind as i then stop in my tracks as my blood feels like it runs cold as i just stare in shock at Morgenstern as i just freeze as if i had been covered in ice. Just staring at him as my eyes are widened as tears threaten to fall as i try to blink them away as a few tears instead just rolling down my cheek anyhow unable to help myself as i quickly fight the rest back as i take a deep calming breathe as i look towards the ground to take in what i was just told. 'haz?' i think to myself as i remain sitting down on the bench as the young tank who i helped who is in a relationship with Neo is now dead. The person who was excited to get towards the frontlines and try to help us all now being nothing more then dust in the winds. My mind locking on the second name that comes to mind as i look towards Morg with a fierce look burning in my blue colored eyes as i rise to my feet and look towards him. Find this girl Azhoda. She might need some protection detail if this killer is gonna bother her. To put it bluntly we can help her get stronger and also..use her as bait if need be to capture this killer. I will do this if it's the last thing i do for haz's sake. I say as my right hand tightens into a fist.

A few moments later i see then hear the arrival of the last two remaining players in the form of macradon and zandra as i nod towards them with a slight smile upon my face knowing that with this group we can easily take out any threat.  'The only issue is most definitely the fact that single target is not a specialty.' I think to myself as i then take a calming breathe to steady my anger and sadness that has clutched at my heart even still after having learned what occurred from Morgenstenr. Our target is the labyrinth that is on this floor. If anybody has experience with this floor i would like for you to give any info that you can or be our guide. Since Zandra and myself i know at the very least have no experience with this floor which is half of our group. I say as i look towards morgenstrn and Macradon with a curious look wondering if either of them have experience with this floor.

@Macradon@Morgenstern@Zandra

Looking towards the creature i just let out a low whistle just genuinely surprised how pinball managed to get another critical strike against the thing to keep it down and rooted out of the fight as i look towards him with a grin as my blade ignites in a blue light. Rushing towards the giant creature with my footsteps thundering off the underground ruins as each step of heavy armor echoes loudly during my charge as i quickly strikes at its legs with my blade. The blade slicing through the frozen legs as once my blade finishes the sword art the ice shatters apart into nothing as the large beast lets out a shriek of anger as it backs away from myself and pin. Nice job Pin on being able to somehow freeze this thing over and over! I shout towards him with a tone of happiness and confidence.

I gaze at the boss as suddenly the attacks are doing nothing in terms of being able to actually hit the boss as i just sigh softly at this and just prepare for what i can only call the most horrendous experience in Aincrad. If need be thorns this thing to death is a valid strategy. It can't hurt me and i can heal back everything it just did. I say with a small shrug to my shoulders as i gaze towards the pumpking as the barrier around me falls since it has served it's purpose of taking a attack from the king. With my shield raised i prepare for the next one and just glance around seeing that the vines themselves have no health bar to target, and with that leaves not much room to try and figure out what to do even. As i watch as morgenstern paralyzes the boss as i nod my head. 'So stun doesn't work, fallen does work against this thing. That is what we have atm.' I think to myself as i keep my stance firm as i can to prepare for another attack that feels like a punch to slam into my shield or body. If only we could freeze or burn this thing to oblivion. I say to myself in coinciding with the pommel of my blade slamming against my shield as i activate howl to keep the hate upon me.

A month? two months? It was hard to tell how long it had been since the fall of the sea serpent but in the end it was almost time for the season of halloween and scares to come to an end, and thus it felt appropriate that if halloween would come to a end then so should the quarter mark of the ruins of this tower that has held players for too long in this world. Two years it might've taken us to get anywhere, but it was time to at least be able to come back towards the first floor with news towards those who have lost hope that the quarter mark had been reached. Which in theory should be good news most TV shows can't be at the quarter mark of their plans after two years of being on air. I say softly towards myself as a joke as i sent out messages towards those whom i can think of that would want to maybe get some action in on this. A simply message with a simple purpose to finally push through this once and for all and face whatever has been waiting for us long enough.

Swiping away the messaging system after sending it i just nod my head and makes my way and sits down upon a bench and just waits patiently as i gaze up towards the creature with a slightly interested glimmer in my eyes wondering what this floor truly holds for what we'll be facing. "probably just a minotaur boss to be fair if this is their statue. Could have war based tribes kinda stuff out in the labyrinth.' I think to myself as i then just wait patiently my golden cloaked wrapped around me covering my armor as i find myself glad that my own fire enchantment won't set my cloak ablaze.

I grin a bit when i see pinball land the freeze upon the creature as its body becomes covered in a thick layer of ice preventing it from being able to move as i just nod my head as i slam the pommel of my blade against my shield activating on instinct rather then what would be strategically sound. Following my gut rather then my brain upon this case as the resounding echo shoots throughout every space of the cavern. I then blink as i watch the ice quickly shatter apart as i then realize what i should've done as i shake my head with a embarrassed chuckle escaping my lips before i could even bother trying to hide the fact that i realized i had done goofed on that one. Sorry about that Pinball! But good strike nonetheless. I shout out towards the spear user as my only condolences and apologies from having messed up the rather simply principle of smack and run upon this beast.

Waiting for the fight to begin and the pumpkin to begin the first move i grin when i notice a weird aura surround me as i grin and nod towards zandra appreciating the damage coverage since whatever is gonna happen from this pumpkin is gonna be a interesting first move and hopefully if all goes right a opening death move against every player present. That way it'd just be wasted upon the group of two healers that can just shoot everyone back to full health. Looking around i nod my head and grin slightly when seeing the group size that is for this event as i sigh softly and shake my head keeping shield close to my chest and sword ready to go for a fight against this creature. Well if aren't we equally lucky and rather unlucky. The perfect size for a raid group fight lets hope this goes better then leviathen did cause being one of the last ones standing wasn't pretty. I say with a chuckle as i look towards Jomei with a shrug of my shoulders just creating a small joke about the almost failure of floor twenty four.

Glancing towards the samurai that is standing off towards the side i just give a small wave of my shield that and a half hearted smile before focusing upon the boss once more not feeling..exactly comfortable or easy around him. Wanting to talk, but at the sametime feeling just tense around the man i quickly shake my head wanting to dispel these feelings so they won' distract me from the fight. Glancing towards Morg as well i notice the katana as i just sigh softly at that since in the end i feel sorry for the man who probably had his spirit broken in some way to ditch the sword and shield method that he had taught me. 'As long as he keeps moving forward. he can recover and become something new though.' I think to myself.

Gazing towards the creature i just slowly get back up towards me feet with a small grin upon my face feeling rather lucky that even if it did chuck my hp i can tough through these hits for the most part as my hand glows with a green light as myself gets covered in a green light. My health rising only to get knocked away by the strike of the large creature as it knocks me away once more with a powerful strike the deep cackling echoing off the ruined walls of floor 19 as i just take a calming breathe and get back to my feet steadily and carefully watching as pin manages to miss his strike. Okay. Just stay calm this is still doable. I say softly under my breathe as i raise my sword and shield ready for round two of hestia pinball within the machine of this ruins of a civilization. Lowering myself slightly more towards the ground and shifting my weight slightly towards me left side i prepare for the attack hoping that i can switch my center of balance if need be swiftly to avoid being knocked off my feet to badly.

The event or what could be called that simply was not made for myself to be of much sadly having nto the damage and the defense having not been needed at all during the duration of the zombie killing phase, and instead myself having just enjoyed the chaos for the most part. The players having survived just fine, and myself not benefitting or seeing myself needed having come for a grand festivities of a show when attending this circus and sadly having been taken into a event itself as a counter pick to that. However, with the announcement of monsters to fight of most likely a boss level quality i just nod my head and makes my way forward having the same gear that i entered this event with considering that it should be quick hopefully. Sorry for leaving you earlier mac, but if you need some help i can provide some defense if you need it. I say apologetically towards the two handed sword user with just a curt nod of my head towards him as i look towards the large pumpkin soon after. The call or a man of two blades and a person made of fire sounding rather far fetched for the secodn one, but the first knowing only by the name that i was given for him. Sorry to burst your arrogance pumpkin, but zelrius died so deal with the people who are still alive and the new kids on the block that are here to kick you off your stoop you kid. I say towards the giant creature not seeing it as a threat to myself.
