Nari-Lanreth

They'd already managed to push back so many of the forces corralling against the town. Nari couldn't help but be amazed. As Jomei continued cutting down the ones nearby, Nari felt a change in the flow of battle - now there were only a few standing before them, the captains having turned their attention on the town itself. She could almost feel a chance of victory ahead of them. "Hey, you good for a second? I need to recover a bit...burned through my energy faster than I had expected..." She closed her eyes, focusing on the meditation skill she had picked up a while ago. It wouldn't give h

Astreya landed the final blow, leaving the creature little more than an explosion of shards the sprayed into the air, before leaving the group in a air of silence. Turning to smile at the others, Nari shifted her weight onto her other leg. The fight had gone far better than she had expected - the four of them easily overpowering the thing without trouble. "Alright, so we make the best team in Aincrad, no doubt about it! And...sweet! Looks like we even got the extra skill as well!" She tabbed her own notification, closing it out before glancing back the way they had come. It had been a lon

She ducked under one snowball, just to meet another one head one - the cold ball of fluffy frozen bursting and covering her. She blinked in surprise, before smiling wickedly at her new target. Dashing out from behind the tree, she targeted the form of Fae, before launching a single, wound up throw towards the girl. "Well, you know what they say Lessa - if you don't walk the walk, you can't talk the...err...wait that sounds wrong. If you don't talk the walk...no, that's not it either..." She shook her head, trying to remember the phrase while dodging the lobs that came towards her. The wo

The ding of a message caught Nari off guard. There weren't many who would be messaging her this late, and the few that would be were busy with numerous errands - or sleeping. Curiosity perked, Nari opened the message and quickly glanced it over, noting a name that she had not seen in...well, it had been quite some time. A surprise, to be sure, but one that Nari found welcoming. She considered her response carefully, before pulling up her messaging system and crafting the response. To: @Faerie From: @Nari-Lanreth Hey FaeFae! Long time, indeed! Looks li

Nari nodded towards Hirru as the man seemed to take stock of their little ragtag group. She smiled as he mentioned the request for Overhealth item, bringing up her menu and dumping a collection of consumables on the group before her. She was once again amazed at the stock her had created - all of it for this specific purpose, and what came after. "I've got the overhealth, and a few other things that might be of interest. Feel free to take a dig through, and if there's anything you like grab it." Her eyes passed over each of them, smiling as she offered what she could. It passed over a si

So, he hadn't been screaming in pain or distress. Nari felt her cheeks flush ever so slightly in response. She'd come over looking like a fool, assuming that it was far worse than it had been. Instead, she'd found him helping the NPCs who were trying to escape the bloodbath that was occurring just outside their homes. "Yeah...I'll try. You stay safe too - although it looks like you've been doing alright. Maybe I'll leave the bigger boys just to you!" She jested at the ginger, throwing him a smile as she placed herself at his side fully. They'd already cut down a lot of the soldiers, and

Jomei's cry had caught Nari's attention, the words echoing in a way that she couldn't quite understand, but meant one thing to her. He was in trouble. As her scythe lashed out again, catching another nearby soldiers in the chest, Nari made her feet move. Driving herself towards the other man, hoping to get there before anything bad could happen. Images flashed through her mind - images of the ginger bursting into shards, leaving her alone. Images that toyed with her mind in a way that she didn't like. As she broke through the crowd around her, her eyes flashed across the scene. There wa

She could feel the victory before her, barely within reach. She knew that now was the most dangerous time - the time when most individuals would try and leap forward for their victory, only to be caught in a feint or trap that was meant to lure them in. The feeling of security as dangerous as if they simply lowered their weapons and gave up. She wasn't ready to give in to that feeling. Not yet. She knew better, knew that she simply needed to wait - to be the one who lured them into the trap. Knew that this man would fall for it, based on his previous actions. I just need to...there! He m

The bottle landed in her hand, the colouring hard to decipher in the dark - but the item well known in Nari's mind. She raised it to her lips, downing it as quickly as she could, the taste leaving a bitterness on her tongue. Not that she cared, as she watched the health bar climb once more to a comfortable position. It wasn't much, but it was enough to tip the balance in the fight - to place her above her target, if only for the moment. Anything beyond that, and she'd have needed to call upon a miracle. This is far too close for my liking...I need to find an advantage. Something that pu

No matter what she did, Nari knew this fight was far from over. The enemies health bar still stood higher than her own - something that she would only fix if she took a risk. She considered it, for a brief moment, before realising the folly behind it. It was better, for the moment, to press the attack. To try and get the advantage over him in order to end this fight sooner. It was already far too dangerous to do anything more than considerations. As she pressed herself away from him with the haft again, Nari felt something change - the weight on the end suddenly disappearing. Her eyes sh

Pressing the attack worked. Nari slammed the blade into the man again and again and again, his arm blocking the majority of her strikes - but not allowing him the chance to escape her weapon. It was enough to force him back into the wall, where he was little more than prey for the point of her blade once she managed to pierce through his blocks. She was careful, consistent, in control. Each strike determined, focused and calmly placed - each one meant to do little more than wear him down and hold him in place. She watched as the blood continued to leak from his chest wound, depleting his healt

Crazed. It was the only way to explain the man's actions. He rushed forwards, undeterred by the damage that Nari had already done to him. Uncaring about the danger he was putting himself in, just to reach her. Uncaring that his life would be ended if he kept going. Nari couldn't help but wonder at the madness. Not that she could do anything about it, the man was determined to pummel her into the ground, and given the chance he might just be able to do so. Not that I'm going to give him the chance to do that...I won't go down that easily, ever. Her scythe whipped outwards from behind her,

The flames seemed to cause him more pain, more distress, than the actual attacks that Nari had made earlier. As he rushed forwards, Nari barely managed to parry his attacks. Her scythe seemed to shake in response, the weapon becoming heavy in her hand as she tried to keep it between him and herself. She could hear the screams echoing still, as if a daemon that sped him along his path towards his target. The face was pulled back into a snarl, reminding Nari of a snapping animal trying to get to its quarry behind bars, desperately pushing against them. She pushed against him with the scythe, for

His fury unleashed the moment the stun effect wore off, his body twisting to meet her and rushing forwards. Nari was there to greet him, her scythe repelling his first onslaught, before putting him on the defensive - the whirlwind of blade and haft forcing the man backwards into the wall, giving him no where further to retreat. She watched as the anger grew within him, the expressions on his face taking on something akin to madness as he tried without success to get through her onslaught. She focused on only one thing, keeping him at bay, wearing down his energy, tiring him out. She watched fo

Laughter met her words, and as Nari waited for the man to rush forwards, she couldn't help but noticed the overconfidence in his face, in his body, in his very movements. His arms were wide, leaving openings that were perfect for her strikes - so long as she could match his speed. I don't need to match his speed...I just need to predict his movements. Know where he's going to go, react and overcome. Surprise him with planning, with learning him. She waited for him to come close enough before unleashing her fury, the scythe dancing in a pattern that forced him back, to the left, to the right, t

As the second blow landed into her stomach, Nari began to worry. The man was on top of her, smashing aside her defences like they were absolutely nothing, giving her no time to recover and rebound on her assault. She was helpless beneath his flurry, helpless to do anything but accept it. She felt the worry, the fear, beginning to gnaw at her spine - the tingling feeling rushing to her fingertips and loosening the grip on her scythe, making her arms heavy and her breathing shallow. She could feel the panic taking over, the concern for her safety - her very survival - becoming paramount. A

Whoever the man was, he was fast. Nari's scythe caught nothing but open air as the man moved, putting distance between the two of them as he sought to escape the purple-haired woman's weapon. Nari shifted her stance as she went, hoping to chase the man with a backhanded strike - only to find him on the opposite side of her, his arms pulled back as he prepared to strike out at her in return. Not ready to give him such an opening, she pushed off with her one planted food, forcing herself towards him - and in turn forcing the man to readjust, and miss his initial strike. The two parried bac

She stopped to check her mini-map again, confirming that there was still a final small bend before she was out. Which meant that the light wouldn't be filtering in this far beneath the ground. Nari felt her stomach flip slightly as she considered the possibilities. It could be another player, coming to do the quest she'd just completed. None of the NPCs have reset yet though...which they should have done, if that were the case. Her mind drifted towards darker possibilities - groups of players hunting other players, for whatever purpose they felt they needed to do such a thing. Uncertain

The tunnels somehow seemed longer on the way out. As Nari turned yet another corner, she found herself questioning if it had taken this long to get where she was going on the way in. She knew that the return trip always felt different - for some people, it was faster. For others, it would feel as if eternity itself was stretching outwards - trapping them longer and longer in the same spot. Nari had never taken the time to consider it either way, but as she stopped at the T-section and glanced around she couldn't help but wonder; Did I take a wrong turn...? She checked her mini-map again,

The tunnels sounded eerily quiet to Nari's ears as she made her way back along paths that she had taken on the way in. It made sense, considering that she'd torn apart any bandits that she'd come across on her way in. Still, the lack of life that seemed to surround her - or even the lack of non-living - felt unsettling. The place had a deserted feel to it, as if there hadn't been life here for a long, long time, and no matter how she tried to shake the feeling it just wouldn't go away. "Chilly. That's the best way to describe it. A chill that seems to hover over the very soul, rather than

The fighting had driven the soldiers back around Nari, blocking her view of Jomei as they tried to encircle her again. She could hear the echoing screams of the fighting beyond her little circle, the rising smoke of burning buildings visible just above the heads of her combatants. Everything beyond that, was lost as they rushed forward, trying to overwhelm her. She blocked the first few strikes, before the soldier to her left managed to overcome her and slash across her side. Her scythe whipped around, attempting to slash the man through his centre, but missing entirely. Instead, it foun

The flow of the enemy force overwhelmed Nari, her scythe flashing against the bodies that surrounded her. She'd lost sight of Jomei the moment the rush came in, soldiers surrounding her and attempting to slash at her with their smaller weapons. Her scythe, thankfully, kept most of them at length - well beyond their ability to reach her. That luck didn't last long, however, as she felt something pierce into her back. Reactionary, she spun and slashed at the man, her scythe tearing through him and giving her a view of her ginger companion. The man was surrounded, just like Nari, his Rapie

"Confident." The remark was short, and void of emotion as Nari watched the last of the townsfolk disappear from sight. She couldn't help but appreciate the collected appearance Jomei was maintaining, her own far less so. She fidgeted with her scythe, the anxiety within her visible even through the cold passiveness she was trying to maintain. Her eyes carried that worry as they glanced back up towards the soldiers waiting on the hill, still crying out to the skies above them, as if they hadn't tired at all of doing so for longer than Nari cared to check. "Ready? To face down an entire army, wit
