Akiris

Akiris had to try patiently for a little hit before the goat actually stopped and allowed her to get close. She smiled when she was able to get close enough to try and milk the mammal.

"I have a pet, Marten. That's a completely different animal than a goat." Akiris giggled. She did volunteer at a vegetarian office on weekends sometimes but she only was able to do little things for sick or injured animals. Other then that she wouldn't have much experience. 

Getting the bottle full she smiled at Haltar. Knowing how she had to go back to the NPC and finish this quest. It actually caused her chest to feel a bit heavy knowing her time with this new found friend was coming to a fairly quick end. "I probably should go get it done so I don't procrastinate at doing it then not doing it at all." Slowly standing up Akiris then held her hand out to the goat. Slowly petting it as it seemed to enjoy her scratching its head. "Thank you little goat. I have to go finish my quest now." Akiris told the goat as she put the now-closed bottle of milk safely in her inventory. 

Turning to Haltar with a smile she walked up to him. "It kind of makes me sad. After this, we might not see each other for a while." She just thought after this he was probably going to leave and go his own way. Which is completely understandable since they both have different paths. Especially different paths to get to the front line then home free away from this game. 

Collected all items for quest.

@Haltar Dhrim

Akiris was on here way out into the field now trying to find something that might not even be there. "It will be an adventure." Akiris enthusiastically stated as she left walking. 

Now they appeared to be more in the middle of the fields than anywhere else. Starting to walk slower and listen to her surroundings. She noticed Haltar was making a gesture and looked over in the direction. Noticing that the grass was moving differently she stopped moving and smiled. Hopefully, it was a goat, cow or some kind of milk producing animal. 

Nodding her head to Haltar she started to step slowly to the moving grass. Getting right at the point she looked back for a couple of seconds before slowly moving the grass as it parted.

A goat then looks at them both and made a weird vibration noise. Akiris's ended up with a weird expression on her face and her brows furrow as she watched the goat walk away slowly. "no stay here goat. I have to collect milk." She asked the goat as it kept walking away slowly. Sighing she followed it which seemed to not bother the goat at all. The trick was it allowing it to milk it if it had any milk.

After a moment of following it the most stopped and started eating. Akiris checked and the goat did have milk. Now it was going to be the part of milking the animal. Getting close to the goat, the goat looked back at Akiris and moved a little.

She ended up taking out an item that would hold milk. At least decently anyways. Akiris then went by the goat again and once again the goat moved. Sighing in slight frustration she did it again. This time the goat seemed as if it was going to stay since she wouldn't stop bothering it.

Akiris kept the smile on her face as she was now looking around the fields. Trying to see if she could spot anything on the horizon. "Hopefully your flattery isn't disappointed." She didn't want him to taste something she made and it is completely disgusting or stomach wrenching. 

Stepping out into the field a little more she hoped that harmless creatures lived in the game. Personally, she didn't know but one can hope. "Yes, a goat or some kind of milk producing animal." Shrugging her shoulders as she didn't fully know if there were any animals like that. "I don't even know if they have them in this game. I would think especially with what they sell at the cafes and restaurants here. You would need milk. So it would be silly if they didn't put any kind of animal in the game like that." Akiris spoke as she started walking slowly out into the grasslands. Hopefully, they could find one. She kept squinting her eyes a little to see if she could see any nonaggressive animals such as goats, cows and things of what she needed.

@Haltar Dhrim

Akiris shrugged her shoulders at the male's words. She truly did know she actually didn't know this would happen. But she still felt bad that her family has to deal with every single day thinking their daughter, sister, and a friend could die in a stupid video game. "Still even if it's not my fault. It feels like it since I wanted this so badly." Her tone of voice struggled as she said these words. She seemed angry at herself at least a little bit.

Finding a tree which was oozing with some kind of sap. Akiris went over and tasted it. sweet. She smiled as she began to collect some of it. Hearing Haltar says he should make a new sweet or dish in here made her laugh a little. "Haltar." Akiris giggled a little. "This is a virtual world. I can't actually taste the dishes. Yes, we might be able too but we truly can't. So making a dish I make in here in the real world might not work out." The girl kept giggling and laughing a little. She couldn't help she was just thinking of how horrible dishes could taste in the real world. "Think of it! A dish in here might taste wonderful till I make it in the real world and everyone does because it tastes horrible!!" Laughing at this thought she was almost crying. She didn't know if that would be the best idea. "I wouldn't want to do that to my family. I also will probably be a horrible cook when I come out of this game. I probably will have to relearn everything so I can make dishes edible." Akiris is truly thought this as she calmed her laughing. She was hoping she didn't hurt the make feelings with laughing but she wasn't going to say anything unless he reveals that it bothered him somehow.

Akiris then went on looking for her last ingredient for the stuffed apple crisp. She got wild oats, apples, spices, and sweet tree sap. Now she just needed milk so she could make homemade whip cream. She then looked out towards the plains to see if she could as any cows, goats, etc... "I need to find a goat..." Akiris mumbled in thought as she somewhat jogged off into the fields.

Akiris seemed a little worried at first when Haltar had a surprised expression. Then he started laughing and she smiled. "I can tell because of intuition," Akiris stated as if she was sure about this. 

Hearing his words she nodded her head in agreement. "My mission is to get to the frontlines as soon as possible." A reason she was trying to do all the beginner quests as fast as she could. She didn't know if she wanted to but she knew she had too. She wasn't going to sit around and let everyone at the frontlines do all the work. 

Smiling at the thought of going hunting together. Haltar then asked the question of what brought her to Aincrad. Signing at this she knew she had to tell. "When the release date was scheduled, I already had money saved up. I only needed so much more before I could buy a NerveGear. My little sister ended up helping me because she knew how much I loved games. She said to consider it an early birthday gift. Since she helped pay for it." This seemed to strike a nerve and cause Akiris's eyes to swell up with tears. "Instead of waiting when I got it. I put it right on when I got home and in my room." Picking up her hands she started rubbing her eyes. She didn't mind if people saw her cry, especially over this game. It was quite overwhelming knowing you could die at any moment. "Now I'm missing my best friends wedding to my brother and my little sister probably is hating herself right now. She probably regrets helping she bought this stupid thing." Amir is hated that she wasn't awake and not playing this game. She wanted to be there for the wedding and she wanted to be there for her family. She knew her sister was probably struggling with over thought emotions. 

Akiris was just hoping her younger sister wasn't blaming herself. She knew it was probably hard for her and the rest of her family. "I know I'm crying about it. It's kind of ridiculous isn't it?" Rubbing the last few years from her face she smiled at her friend. Trying to assure him everything is alright. 

Noticing it started to get to the time of sunset. Akiris looked around. "I probably should finish this quest before it gets dark. I only have two items left that I need." Akiris was trying to switch the topic and go back to searching now. She didn't want to think about how hard it is for her little sister or the rest of her family. These thoughts made her eyes fill with tears. She then started searching going up to the trees and trying to find a bees nest or sweet tree sap. Akiris also would look out to the field to see if any sugar cane was growing.

@Haltar Dhrim

Haltar began to bring up a story so she stopped and started to listen. She didn't mind stories especially when she was trying to get to know somebody else. 

Hearing that he shouldn't even be here caused her brows to furrow. what does he mean by that? How is one not suppose to be here? Thinking as she tried figuring out her question before the male answered it. 

"It probably wasn't a good sight of anybody finding their friends and loved ones under NerveGear's control. If it helps I rather have met you then your friend." Akiris wasn't trying to say that rudely at all. Just trying to cheer up Haltar on the fact that she appreciates meeting him. If possible she rather meet people in the real world but this is their reality now. 

Smiling to the male to reassure him she didn't mean any harm by her words. "We will get out of this don't you worry," Akiris stated as if she knew. She at least was going to get to the front lines as fast as she could to help get everyone out. 

Nodding her head at the male's question. "Yes, it does. It means we're friends, doesn't it? Friends hang out. So another day out would be wonderful." Keeping the smile on her face she then went over and went back to focusing on her quest. She needed to find the Wild Spices for her stuffed Apple crisps. She was searching more by the lining of the forest hoping spice plants would be in the area.

Haltar agreed with her after everything he said she thought it was odd. "A lot of people in this game will remember us too." Akiris smiled at the male. She noticed something made him uncomfortable. Not exactly knowing what she wasn't going to push it right now or ask. 

Thinking about switching the topic she knew a lot of topics she could casually bring up. "So, Haltar what made you want to play sword art online?" Akiris asked as she started to look for Wild Spices for her stuffed Apple crisps. 

Though on how he agreed and started to act. Especially with not answering her. Akiris was going to keep that in mind for another day. Something was off about it and she didn't want to cause any distance between her new friend. Then thinking. About it, she didn't actually friend him yet. Smiling to this she tapped her menu then scrolled down and searched Haltar's name. Pressing a few buttons before a screen popped up confirming the just went a friend request to Haltar. Not saying anything about sending the request she went on her way of searching for ingredients.

Akiris did agree with Haltar though she wasn't saying it was difficult for the people inside of the game. "Sometimes the best thing is to remember the memory, instead of sharing it Haltar." Akiris stated as she tried to keep finding items with this talk. "Some people don't want to be remembered by everyone. I know I don't want to be." The complete truth as she spoke out the sincere words. She didn't want to be remembered if she fell to her fate in this game or even in the real world. She didn't want a grave she wanted to be cremated. She didn't want something to be stained with her memory except by her family and friends.

Akiris was going to remember this place along with the others that lived among it. She knew everyone was going to have their memories, and she smiled at Haltar. "It will be remembered by the players. Isn't that good enough?" Akiris asked the male as she seemed curious about why he was so persistent on everything being remembered.

Thinking about it, she considered that maybe the male beside her didn't want to be forgotten. Akiris did not want to question him and make any personal mistakes, so she didn't ask. She just went back to collect the items she needed for the quest.

Akiris did find it slightly funny the two were not being able to find any more quest items. She knew Star had more than her, but still, no one was able to get the last one or two it seemed like. Akiris sighed to this thought as she got up. She ended up searching somewhere else for her next item. They both needed to find the quest items so they could move onto the next quest and level up. This was a goal of the female’s she needed to level up to get out of this place.

"It's funny how things can go so well and die off. Luck is such a mischievous thing." Akiris said to herself as she kicked up a few things. Which appeared to be an unsuccessful technique for finding the next quest items.

Akiris then ended up going somewhere else to find the herbs in some shrubs. Shrubs seemed to be a decent area to find what they needed. Hoping this was going to be a spot she could find ingredients in. Akiris started searching once more.

Seeing a tree she smiled and noticed the apples right away. "They look delicious..." She mumbled as she reached up to pick a few. Putting them into her inventory and hearing Haltar made her smile. "Hopefully, I can keep this luck!!" This made a big smile appear on Akiris's face one that revealed her teeth. 

Gathering a few apples she decided that was enough before she went back to thinking. Wild spice, oats, sugar or some kind of sweet ingredient." The female tapped her chin with one finger. Looking around the fields with the long swaying grass. She started searching for wild oats for the apple crisp.

Akiris then heard the male start to talk about the game and the real world. He started talking about how the story would need to be told and that digital art would come in handy. Akiris frowned at this thought of what was happening here. It was quite awful and her eyes went a little sad. "Maybe the story that is written here shouldn't be told to the rest of the world, Haltar." Akiris didn't know if the world was prepared to hear about how people actually died in this game which leads to permanent death on the outside of this virtual world. Maybe people would be at peace just knowing that they're loved ones were gone. Not needing to know what actually happened. 

Trying to get her thoughts out of such a depressing topic. Akiris went on to search for the wild oats she needed for her dessert.

Akiris followed Haltar towards the forest but, she appeared to be stuck on another thought. His hand was grabbing her's and, she couldn't help but stare at it.
This feeling is weird its so real as if he's actually grabbing my hand even though he's not. Akiris thought to herself as she made a sparse face with her brows furrowed. Never actually considering the nerve gear had this much potential at forming sensory.  Akiris's mind went to pain. It must feel horrible here and so real. Akiris seemed a little off to this thought of pain. Personally, Akiris did not know if she could handle any serious pain in this game. She didn't want to feel anytime soon.

Once Haltar started talking her focus went onto him. Looking around regarding they were already at the edge of the forest seemed to surprise her. She was so in thought she didn’t realize they arrived already. “I believe we can find ingredients here.” Akiris smiled knowing she could defiantly find what she was looking for by the edge of the forest.  Noticing that Haltar seemed to be in thought for a moment before he started talking and apologized.  “You don’t have to apologize, Haltar."  Giggling a little to his apologizing she saw, no need for it. She was right where she wanted to be in a field at the edge of a forest. “I’m thinking of a stuffed apple crisp. The ingredients I will have to find are wild spices, apples, oats, sugar, and honey or sweet tree sap of some sort.” Akiris had a plan and that plan was to make stuffed apple crisp it sounded delicious.

@Haltar Dhrim

As Haltar seemed intrigued by how she spoke of the game this caused Akiris to spark up a little. Finally, she met somebody who understood how she felt about the game. Feeling a bit more comfortable around this acquaintance now since they both had a similar view on this virtual world. "I actually want to do digital art for my career." Which could be a reason why she was so interested in the digital graphics of the game.

Hearing that he would enjoy having dinner made her happy since she loved cooking for others. Her passion was to cook for other people and, now she had a future opportunity.

Ignored by the one side of guards Akiris decided to walk over to the others and right when she was getting there; a hand came out of nowhere and grabbed hers. At first, she didn't know who it was and, the realism of the games sensory gear caused her to tense up. Noticing it was Haltar caused the shock of somebody grabbing her to fade away. It was only her new found friend. He seemed very up to go as he pulled her along a little way. "It shouldn't be dangerous there is, two of us." Hoping she was correct Akiris followed the male.
 

@Haltar Dhrim

Akiris nodded her head to the male's question. "I do." Which she was proud of. She loved working at her parent's cafe the building, property, and business has been in her families lives for a few decades now. "I know which is why I am trying to get through this quest so I can move on." Smiling about the thought of having the profession made her happy. She was ready to be considered a chef here. 

As he pointed out it was under digital code this seemed to make her eyes sparkle. "Its amazing isn't it?" She asked Haltar as they were on the topic. "I love the realism of the game's graphics its quite wonderful to see the work up close." Admiring the game's graphics and realism to the sky and horizon. Akiris had a passion for different types of art.

Hearing Haltar state that he could come to her shop when she had one. Shrugging her shoulders to this. "I might not have a shop, Haltar. Though, I always invite you to dinner." Smiling at the male as her kind voice and soft appearance came back. Akiris always enjoyed cooking for others more than just for herself. 

Getting out of the front gates she looked at a few of the guards. Approaching one as she tried getting its attention but the NPC was talking to another NPC and ignoring her. Akiris's brows furrowed at this as she walked away from the two NPC's. "Stupid coded guards..." Mumbling as she started going to the other side.

@Haltar Dhrim

Still not finding a thing Akiris sighed. Bending back up and stretching a little before making her way over to another area. 

Noticing her new friends reaction to the request made her smile. "Yes, you might. But we are not always going to be around each other." Akiris started as she went back looking for the different herbs she needed. 

"I was not trying to distract you, my friend. Only to see your reaction to a friend request." which was the simple truth. She wasn't trying to distract her from searching just thought the best time to friend somebody was when close to them and know them at the time. 

Watching the girl sticking out her tongue made Akiris laugh a little. "I think it's an either-or situation right now. We seem to be both stuck in a rut." Replying to the 'I won't lose!'' Right now she believed it to be anyone's game.

Nodding her head in agreement to the male’s statement she knew staying on the safe side especially at such low levels would be better. In the long run at least so they could at least live a little more. “I agree. Let’s go.” Akiris replied simply to her new companion as she started to walk with the man. Gradually she walked towards the gates as she stretched which seemed to be a habit of hers. Probably from working as a waitress/hostess at her family’s café.

Looking out through the gates she saw the road winding down a long path towards somewhere else with forests and grasslands on either side. It was digital but still beautiful. Smiling towards the sight she admired nature quite a lot. Akiris then heard the male ask her about why she was becoming a cook. Stopping for a moment she glanced at him and smiled. “I thought of my choices cook, merchant and blacksmith. The way of the Merchant didn’t seem to wonderful to me to I let my interests go in between cook and blacksmith. It’s cool to make weapons and everything but I enjoy the culinary.” Akiris stated as she seemed to be thinking of it more now. “I work with an assortment of foods and diverse beverages in the real world. I work for my parents and they own a café. I grew up with the interest and no, I don’t really care for the NPC that is the Master Cook.” Bringing up the Master Cook seemed to turn Akiris’s voice into a more annoyed tone. “She was quite rude for an NPC. I know she’s not real but still…” Mumbling off as she started to continue on her way now getting out of the gates.

Once out she looked around and smiled a little more. Not letting the NPC Master Cook stay on her mind for long. “I have always admired cooking in the real world and why not admire it here too?” Akiris asked as she was letting her eyes wander to different areas she could see. Trying to figure out what would be the best area to find ingredients to cook something. Almost in a whisper she put her finger on her bottom lip. “Maybe I should cook an apple crisp…” Thinking about this she did love apple crisps, pies and more. That sounded so good…apple crisps. Sighing that she couldn’t have some right now.

@Haltar Dhrim

Still not having any luck Akiris stood up. “This is so simple it’s stupid I can’t find anything…” It was simple in real life she thought it would be way simpler. Especially if you knew or were guided to look for what herbs and everything. Here the thing had to start glowing or chiming and by that time you either had it or if nothing was occurring then look somewhere.
Which was exactly what Akiris was going to do look somewhere else. Take a few feet to the right and observing she then went to left and forward a little. Not thinking she should spend most of her time on her knees and in the dirt. She was going to keep standing and wandering around versus staying on her knees and having a hell of a time.

Standing there she then noticed Star was by her and she let her attention fall to her friend. “I don’t think that’s how it works, Star…” Akiris said plainly. “I think I have to collect them for myself not you are doing it for me.” A very heartless laugh left Akiris’s lips. Finding her friend’s words, a little amusing. Then the thought occurred she hasn’t friended Star yet. Smirking to see if it could surprise her. Akiris opened her menu sneakily as she glanced over to Star searching once again. Clicking on the party and Star’s username and tab. Able to find the friend request, ignore and block buttons easily. Akiris ended up pressing send friend request which should pop up on Star’s profile or menu screen any moment.

Going back to searching in the area she was now standing in. Still letting her eyes go up a little to see if she could surprise Star with a friend request or not. She just wanted to see the reaction on the other girls’ face.

As the other questioned the situation. Akiris went into her menu tab to look at the quest information. Recommended non-combat gathering though gather through any means fishing, gathering, and combat. Shrugging her should at this she nodded her head. "Wild boar?" Akiris seemed interested. "Well the quest recommends gathering but we can go fishing or fighting animals for ingredients." Akiris started as she then shut her menu since it wasn't a use for her at the moment. 

They were not too far from the gates already and she glanced over. Seeing a few NPC guards walking around in what appeared heavy duty armor that shined from the suns reflection. It was weird NPC's and players appeared so similar yet you could usually tell who a player is vs an NPC. "We can go to the forest and grasslands. I think that would be the best place." Agreeing to go towards the forest she started to slowly move towards the gates and guards. "It will probably help if we ask for the safest route. Unless we want to get into combat with multiple animals. Though, I kind of just want, to get the first quest over. The NPC for this one is pretty self-centered, annoying and pushy." An irritated tone was said with these words. Remembering not even thirty minutes ago she went and accepted the quest. Akiris was probably not even in that building for ten minutes before being right back on the doorstep. Causing her to question if she wanted to even pursue this career or another. She was sticking with this one for now.

The darker haired girl started making her way towards the gates. Slowly since she didn't want to run off and seem rude to this new guy Haltar. Looking back to see if he was ready to go she smiled at him and her bright golden eyes seemed to sparkle in the light of the day. 

@Haltar Dhrim

Standing there she was in complete deep thought about where cooking ingredients would be. in the meadows and maybe in the lining of the forest. That'd probably the best way to go the girl thought. 

Hearing a voice at first Akiris thought it was to somebody else by her it was quite busy. Then she saw the orange-ish colored haired man out of the corner of her eye. Smiling kindly at the man Akiris thought he made a good first impression. It took Akiris a moment as she realized she should introduce herself and stop standing there like an idiot. "Hello, Haltar! I'm Akiris it's nice to meet you." Introducing herself as she listened to the rest of his words. Her introduction seemed a bit fast spoken and a little awkward as if she was not prepared to talk to somebody at all or somebody to come up to her and start talking to her. 

It wasn't exactly her first time going out and she wasn't too nervous about it. She was mainly in thought where to find ingredients to start becoming a chef/cook. Though she never minded people tagging along or wanting to help. It was very much a lonesome game if you were not talking to people ...just like real life. Sighing to this thought. "It's not exactly my first time going out but I was thinking of where the best area to look for ingredients is. Meadows, valleys, plains, and edges of the forest." Though it would be a lie if she said she wasn't hesitant. Akiris knew how serious this game got when people couldn't log out and could actually die. "I do agree with you, Haltar. It is better to have a companion along the way. I also would be lying to you if I said I wasn't hesitant." Smiling at the man as her tone was still kind and gentle. 

"You can come along if you want but I'm not fighting anything, I don't think. Just finding cooking ingredients for the Master cook Maggie." Akiris wasn't going on some epic adventure to take down a boss or anything...if she was doing that she would join a raid. Simply just finding cooking materials and she hoped that didn't bore her new acquaintance to much. 

@Haltar Dhrim

Akiris didn’t have anything else to do and finding a profession seemed to be a good ideal in this world. Looking through the many different ones the only ones that popped out to be interesting were cook, merchant and blacksmith. In the end she considered to go find the master cook.
Arriving at the place she was told she stood there and tilted her head out of habit. “Interesting…” Knocking on the door she stood there for a moment more as she didn’t know if she should just enter. Especially since this place resembled a house more then an actual shop or bakery.

A person then opened the door quickly a woman. “What do you want- Oh you want to learn how to be a cook! Yay! I love teaching adventurers, follow me! Hurry, come on, we don’ have all day.” This lady didn’t even introduce herself and Akiris tensed right up as she was dragged into the door. She was dragged into the back room of what now appeared to be a nicely put together restaurant.
Watching the woman as she went around the kitchen for a moment. “Now I hope you know I’m very serious about this, so I must show you how exactly to cook it. Follow my EVERY step and you’ll be one of the best cooks there are, but not better than me.” The woman went on with pride in her words. Akiris’s brows furrowed at how full of herself she was. Knowing she was an NPC she knew she was made to be with this attitude. But, Akiris could still not help and think She’s pretty full of herself this is going to be…lovely. Even mumbling some of these words before she noticed she was alone around the area.
Having her eyes dart around the room and the lady started talking again. “Sorry about this, this never happens, but the cooks have officially run dry of materials. GO get me five more ingredients, then I will know you want to be a cook just like your dear Maggie here.” The lady seemed to spin away with a majestic attitude.

“I can-“ Before Akiris got done the one named Maggie seemed to be pushing her out the front door. Standing there at the front door she seemed to be oblivious to what just happened. “Maybe I should’ve picked another profession…I knew it I should’ve went with blacksmith.” Akiris huffed and sighed as she looked around. Thinking of her next move she decided to walk through the town to go into the wilderness and find some ingredients the professional cook lady Maggie needed.

Walking down town she stretched her arms up and sighed. “I can always change my profession, later can’t I?” Asking herself she then had a slight ting of …what if I can’t? Instantly she opened her options to research the extra information given in the information section. Looking at these tips and help she ran across that she could always go back and switch her profession and she sighed in relief. “That’s good.” Mumbling as she kept on walking.
Looking at all the people that would walk by her she didn’t know anybody in here. Not a friend or family member and she was going to be trapped in her till she dies or helps get everyone out of here once she gets to the front lines. “I need to make it there.” Akiris stated as she stopped for a moment and looked up to the leveling floors. “I need to get to the front lines as fast as I can.” This was a serious topic point for the younger woman. She felt as if she had to go help but right now she was just starting her journey.

@Haltar Dhrim

Searching for only a few minutes in that area and she stood up. “Mhm…” She grumbled a little know not feeling as lucky before. Starting to have trouble with finding these herbs for the quest. How hard was it to find simple herbs? In this game difficult. Though she didn’t know if it was difficult or not to find them in the real world. Not many people go out trying to figure out how to make health potions or really any potion at all.

Stretching her arms up with her fingers locked in an elegant motion. She groaned a little as she then let her hands fall onto her hips. “This isn’t as easy as I thought it would be…” This caused Akiris to start considering how difficult fighting monsters in this place could be. Also, how difficult future quests would be laid down for her. The thought didn’t turn that well in her stomach. It was going to be a hard road ahead and she was preparing mentally for it.

Looking around once again to consider a decent spot for herbs. Akiris walked over more to the left of her old area this time. A little farther away from Star. “Hopefully I can find something here.” Bending over this time to search through the shrubs of the grass lands.

Standing up and kicking the dirt up along with some grass into the air. “It’s easy then it’s hard. Especially when it feels so real.” Putting her hands on the sides of her back as she leaned back. A crack echoed out and if there was anyone or anything in a few feet they would’ve heard it. “Damn my back…being a waitress and moving on your feet is one thing but gardening work.” Akiris laughed a little. “Might have to work on it.” Rubbing the back of her neck as she walked a little way.

She wasn’t having the best of luck but still was finding the things she needed. Star was being a little luckier as she looked over to see how her friend was doing. She noticed that the girl seemed to be in a frantic and Akiris’s face went to a questionable one. “Maybe she isn’t having much luck either?” Stopping in her tracks she watched her friend for a moment. “Oh well maybe the starting quests are a little harder then most games.” Shrugging her shoulders she went to a new patch of grass to search.

Another light flicked on with a soothing ring in the distance. Grabbing it and putting it right into her inventory she smiled at this find. b Saying to herself as she heard her friends’ words over the little hill. “Damn only one more.” Akiris stood up and went over to a different patch and instantly started searching.

Knowing her friend was most likely going to win this little race between them. Hopefully if they had another competition, she was going to win it. Maybe this could become an inside joke of friendly competition to them. “I’ll catch up don’t worry!!” Akiris shouted as she kept searching for her fourth item.

It didn’t take long for Akiris to find her second item she needed for the quest in this patch of grass. “Finally!” She shouted out. Got my second one. Smiling to this she was proud she finally went across to getting the second item now she just needed three more.
Before she could go on her way back to Zackariah’s house she needed to search a little more. “Good job! I found another two!” Akiris seemed to be having fun and forgetting about the little race.

Standing up and walking a few feet to another patch to search. Akiris got back onto the ground and started looking. Knowing Star now had three out of five items seemed to make Akiris remember the little race. Sighing to this thought as she kept searching.

(2/5) tier 1 materials found for quest.

Akiris seemed to have no luck and rolled her eyes. “No luck.” She mumbled and stood up. She was done searching in this area since she felt like she wasn’t going anywhere in this area. Deciding to walk about two or three yards to the other part of the valley to start searching for more items.

Looking down at a little patch of randomized long grasses she smiled. This seemed as if it was a decent place to start searching for the items. Going down the little hill and getting on her knees again. Akiris started to search for her second item hoping she could find it here. Hoping she would get a little more luck then she has been. “I hope you are having luck!” Akiris shouted. “Since I’m not finding anything…” Whispering as she laughed a little halfheartedly. “I’m going to be here forever.” Akiris said to herself as she kept searching.

@Star

Akiris smiled as she knew she was falling behind. “To late already happening! I would say don’t look in the tall grass and weeds! It’s harder to find them in here.” Laughing a little as she realized how it sounded. Why would she go looking in the hardest spot anyways?

Searching around for another moment before she knew she wasn’t’ going to find anything in the place. Akiris went a few steps over to not much of a difficult spot hoping this spot wasn’t to open and she could find something. Getting down on her knees and moving the grass and everything as she searched for another item. Search in a difficult spot and you won’t be finding anything for awhile silly. Thinking to herself as she giggled at her own self.
