Nari-Lanreth

The sudden warmth of the oceanside city enveloped Nari as she stepped off the teleporter, looking for any sign of the individual whom would guide her to the mountain. The figure – a satyr, similar to the first she’d encountered and yet somehow different – stood off to the side, fidgeting with something on its chest piece. Wandering over to the individual, she gave a slight wave to catch its attention, before speaking. “I’ve received a notification that I am to attend the mountain of Olympus. I’m assuming you’re here to guide me there?” “Oh! Yes, yes I am. Uhm, Apollo awaits. Come, co

The ding of the message arrived just as Nari was preparing herself for her morning shower. Sighing, she wondered who would be messaging her at a time like this – NIGHT was still asleep, and the few others she received messages from usually never sent them this early in the morning. Curiosity overtaking her desire to shower, she opened the notification and let her eyes roam over the message, before realising who the sender was. Sighing, she closed the message and went about her shower, knowing that it was worth following up with later – but hating that she had to go through it again.

Her gaze drifting between NIGHT and the dragon, Nari listened to the tale of the supposed other dragon, and the danger it represented to the nearby village. Something in her knew that it was simply a village of NPCs, that they would regenerate the moment the quest itself had come to an end. Yet she found herself unable to pull that side to surface. “We’ll help.” Two words, and she’d sealed their connection with the quest – promising to stop a dragon from raiding a village. She wasn’t sure what NIGHT would think of it, but Nari knew she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing while others we

Nari’s eyes had been drawn to the visage over the mountain range, the figure noticed only once they had begun to speak. Her attention split between the conversation and the view, she’d barely registered the mention of that name again – Ormi – when the shadow fell across the alright darkened cliff. Head twisting to look back, she caught sight of a glitter of purple in the air, before squealing in excitement. “NIGHT! NIGHT! NIGHT! It’s purple!” Her body had begun to bounce on the balls of her heels as she gazed up at the large, amethyst dragon sitting on the rocks above them. Nari cou

She’d barely caught the question Jomei had tossed her way before disappearing, and as her heart calmed to a normal beating within her chest, she suddenly cursed aloud – realising she’d dashed off without answering. “Tugann Morríghan neart dom. Ugh. This…this is not going how I wanted…” Softly banging her head against the wall, she dashed out of the stage room and back up the stairs towards the main floor, finding the majority of people still within the living room area, a small conversation between NIGHT and Jomei having flourished. She hesitated for a brief second, allowing them to

The blade at her back, the sudden threatening words – from both the newcomer, and NIGHT – had Nari held in place, the spear slowly lowering as her hand slid along the shaft. The bottom haft barely touching the ground, she waited – waited to see what would happen, if anything at all. There was no fear in her heart, the beat unnaturally calm as she considered her options. ‘Not being able to see your target really puts a damper on the whole surprise thing.’ She had just considered making a wild, blind swing – something her Sempai would’ve quite literally run her into the ground for doing – w

Triple flashes, soft against the corners of her vision as her own strike, followed by Jomei – and then finally the shadowed form of Koga lit by the red glow of his sword art. As three of the creatures erupted into shards, Nari pulled her shield in tighter – eyeing their final victim. She wasn’t sure, but she thought she could hear Koga muttering to himself. She couldn’t help but marvel at the synchronisation of their movements, the way in which they were able to play off one another even with their limited interactions. The follow up of attack, followed by rush and attack – it was all so

Her attention drawn to the side as NIGHT reached out and grabbed her hand, before tugging her along. Nari felt her gaze rise up to NIGHT’s face, following the path of her eyes before noticing the cave entrance that NIGHT had found. ‘So easily. Maybe I should consider some skills in searching, or just general help outside of combat…’ Smiling up at the other, Nari pulled NIGHT along towards the cave entrance. As she made her way up the mountain, she felt herself get playful – the looks NIGHT had been casting towards the outfit had been…noticeable, for lack of a better term. “You can to

She’d almost responded to the teasing tone on her title. Almost. But biting her tongue, she decided instead to reach up and flick one of the ears – which bowed down, only to spring back into place atop her head. Smiling up at the other, she shook her hips, causing the tail to swish behind her lightly. “It was just too cute to pass up. Plus, it fits the name, right?” A couple of bounding steps and she was moving down the walkway towards the teleporter, tail swishing behind her slightly as she walked. The few individuals they passed – those that were actual players, at least – seemed to giv

“Hey, I’d forgotten about this quest…” She flipped the menu for NIGHT to read. She’d completed the first of the Dragon Hunter quests, but had been too preoccupied for the sequel quest; too focused on other quests and skills. “Feel up to facing down a dragon? The first one was easy enough, but company is always…enjoyable, no?” She flashed a smile at NIGHT as she waited for the girl to respond – hoping that it made her look more appealing. The quest itself seemed easy enough, from what the description provided, but she would prefer the company along. Rolling off the couch, she jumped u

The morning light shone through the large windows of the studio. For the first time in a while, Nari found herself alone in the recording area - NIGHT having disappeared to deal with some personal concerns, and Onóra off working on some orders she had recently received. For a few moments Nari simply enjoyed the silence, letting it wash over her. Stirring after some time, she laid out her crystals, opening up the piano and beginning the tune she required for the day.

“Tugann Morríghan neart dom.” The prayer a soft whisper on her lips as she reached for the bracelet that wasn’t there – another reminder of the fact they were no longer in the real world, even if old habits remained. Standing from her crouch, she glanced at the trio alongside her, before letting her gaze wonder the garden itself – looking for anything that would lead to some sort of conclusion as to what was happening. Her response to the critique of her actions was half-hearted, barely audible enough for anyone to hear. “Sorry…I saw it and…reacted…what is that?” She stepped to the f

The sound of the chords strumming pulled Nari's attention as she reached for the door handle into the studio. Pausing to listen, she could hear the rising tempo of the song that was being practiced, before the wrong sequence was pulled and the sound of frustrated cursing rang out. Smiling to herself as she remembered her own struggles when she'd begun, she pulled open the door and walked into the studio - catching NIGHT midway through restarting her attempt. "Don't mind me, I'm just going to set up in the stage room today." A quick smile to appease the other, and she moved on to the small

The first arrival, was of course the one she had expected the most. Accepting the physical compliments that were provided, followed by the vocal commentary, Nari smiled. She cast a hand around the area, as if to draw attention away from herself and towards it all. “It’s nothing really. Onóra gave a bit of assistance with the food – okay she gave all the assistance with the food. But the decorations were easy enough. Besides…it’s kind of a traditional thing for me, and it’s something I enjoy doing.” Her eyes diverted away as she blushed ever so slightly, before waving her hand again. “Anyw

Another ding. And another. And another. Her attention was torn away from any attempt to record her songs, the constant draw of the notifications interrupting her otherwise focused intent. Sighing to herself, she closed away the piano before opening the notifications, scanning each intently. ‘Galteans? Ladonians? Refugees? What is going on in Cardinal lately? First the flowers, now this…’ She shook her head to clear away the thoughts, before deciding that she wouldn’t have received so many messages from her mysterious sources if it weren’t important. Bringing up her menu, she pulled f

The shimmer of the teleporter rescinded from her vision as she materialised on the fourth floor. The chill drifting over her as she stepped off the pad, smiling in response to her return. Making her way down the steps, she turned towards home, her steps filled with excitement as she carefully carried the little bag in her hands – fighting hard to keep it safe from everything she passed. Bounding up the steps to the house, she threw open the front door, calling out as she entered. “Hey! I’m back! NIGHT? Where are you?” She moved through the house, searching each room for her companion. She

“Well, yes…” The words seemed apprehensive, as he eyed the piece that Nari had shoved onto him. “I suppose that's a fair trade. Truth be told, I don't quite remember how much we loaned him, anyway.” She felt herself roll her eyes, just barely holding back the words that had been on the tip of her tongue. She still wasn’t sure how someone who couldn’t maintain their loans was in charge of an entire town, but then again she wasn’t entirely sure of anything about the mayor beyond the fact he seemed…well, incapable. “Uh, alright, that's all, then. Thank you for your help. If you ever nee

The mayor wasn’t quite where she had expected to find him, but Nari recognised the man from when she had first encountered him. Any doubts she may have had were tossed aside as the man dashed after a player, chasing them down and requesting their help with finding money that they had leant out to someone within the town. Nari waited patiently as the player gathered the limited information the mayor was able to provide, before heading off on their way. She sent a silent prayer of support towards the player, hoping they faired better than Nari herself had when she first began the quest.

“Excellent! I’m glad I could help out!” His smile seemed genuine, and as he packaged it up, Nari sent the payment for the piece – adding in a tip that she felt spoke to her gratitude for his assistance with finding it. He handed her the item, glancing at the pop up that denoted her payment, his eyes quickly ranging across it to make sure it was accurate before returning to her face. He had just opened his mouth to thank her – like she herself had done so many times before – when he suddenly stopped mid motion, his expression turning to shock as the amount suddenly registered in his mind.

“Alright, none of these – I’m guessing this is something special, then?” The grin on his face said more than his words, and Nari felt her face blush slightly in response. She nodded quickly, biting her lip before speaking aloud. “I’m looking for a house cat, or kitten if possible. It’s for…someone who means a lot, and I think it would…well, I think they’d love it.” The man behind the counter smiled in response, heading back to his collection of options, before pulling out what appeared to be a smaller piece than the others. Carrying it back to the counter, he gingerly laid it out for Nari

“Ah…I think we have a few options…” Moving swiftly along the displays, the man – Nari could see now he was younger, likely in his young adult years, or late teenage years. He appeared to be a player, and Nari wondered if he was one of the few players whom had decided to remain behind on the first, when everyone had moved upwards. “I have some that may fit the bill, I think.” He laid out a collection of eleven options on the counter, letting Nari glance over each. Jaguars, panthers, large cats, everything she could possibly hope for. But not exactly what she was looking for. Her brow furro

Her eyes fell upon a shopfront that she’d never seen before – the needle and thread display signifying that it was likely a tailor of some sorts. What had caught her attention, however, were the numerous plush animals on display within the front window. Her eyes cast over the small things, the cuteness of them all catching her breath as she felt her excitement growing. Barely able to stop herself from bouncing on the spot, she rushed into the store, waving a greeting at the shop worker before moving to the side which contained a collection of further stuffed animals. Her eyes glazed over
