Nari-Lanreth

Her spear pierced into the snake head as it rushed towards her, catching the creature of guard and causing it to pull back and away as the frost spread from the tip across its scales. She could see the cracking it caused in the thing’s scales, a slight shattering as it spread across one head and towards the main body. Twin hissing sounds erupted across the area as it protested the pain it was receiving. Nari couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction, realising that she was well beyond the halfway point of the fight. ‘All down hill from here, so long as I can keep this up.’ Letting the

A shift, barely noticeable in her crouched position, as Nari took the brunt of the strike upon her shield. The impact alone was enough to knock a couple points off her health bar – quickly recovered thanks to her battle healing skill – but not enough to bring any sense of concern into her mind. Glancing over the shield itself, she could see the damage she’d done to the snake’s other head, the health bar on the creature depleted further and a slice across the second face signifying where her spear had pierced it. Grinning to herself, she shifted herself to the left, repositioning and adopt

The snake had had glazed her as it struck from above, barely catching the edge of her shield and sliding past – but enough to graze the side of her face with its fangs. Nari felt herself recoil, the sudden pump of her heart catching her off guard as her spear managed to puncture the side of its head, causing a tear in its face. Sliding backwards slightly, she gave herself some space – watching as the twin heads ducked and weaved in the air above her, looking or an opening in her defence. Her health already recovered, she danced around a few of its slower strikes, before setting herself in

The studio had been silent for the past few minutes, Nari waiting patiently as NIGHT fiddled with the strap on the guitar, the cords, and just about everything else that would halt her from actually attempting to play the instrument. Leaning against the piano, she smiled - more to herself than to her companion. "If you're ready, I'll start on the melody and keys?" The question, more rhetorical than anything else, was followed by Nari swinging around and onto the bench behind the piano, her fingers splaying out naturally before her humming began. The fingers, following some unseen sign wi

The ding, followed by the flashing icon caught her attention. Her fingers hovering over the piano keys, she cocked her head towards the icon. She knew NIGHT was asleep, so the message couldn’t have come from her. The few others wouldn’t likely be messaging her about anything important – but the icon contained the urgent notification. Curiosity coming over her, she flipped a finger over the notification, bringing up the message in its entirety. Her eyes cast over it quickly, before stopping midway and starting from the beginning. To: Nari-Lanreth From: [redacted] Message: New urge

Her strike slashed across the conjoined section of the main body, and Nari watched as both heads seemed to freeze in midair, their bodies shivering as the stun effect overwhelmed their otherwise constant movement. A quick glance and she realised that there was no chance of her reaching the higher ground. Her position definitely not favourable, she settled into her defensive stance, realising that she’d simply have to survive the assault from above that would occur. The heads slowly began to quiver again, the stun wearing off and the creature returning to life. Knowing her options wer

Her eyes flicked over to NIGHT, mouth opening to say something, before she cocked her head to the left. Her gaze drawn to something behind NIGHT, she lifted a finger and pointed. Her gaze entirely focused on the shimmering spectral in the distance, her desire to rebuttal the remarks entirely forgotten. “I…think that may be it…?” The figure shimmered and disappeared as Nari’s words ended, as if her attention on it had forced it away. “Hey! Wait…!” Her feet moving before she’d even considered the danger in her actions, she rushed over to the spot that the figure had been but a breath before

The rumbling came from behind, that much she was sure of – but exactly where, well that was the question she hadn’t been able to answer. Body posed to continue the climb, spear in hand and shield ready to protect herself, her eyes continued to gaze over the area. It had been almost twenty seconds, she figured. No further rumblings had occurred – but she was relatively certain that Aincrad wasn’t prone to having earthquakes. Nothing broke the horizon, and as her breath released again, after being held for so long, she decided there was nothing further to it. Shifting her weight to complete

As the evening began in earnest, Nari made her way into the studio once more - this time finding NIGHT attending to the keyboard, the notes ringing out against the air in a less than perfect manner. Standing at the door for a few moments, waiting for the other to notice her, she smiled at the attempt. It was clear that the other was untrained, unschool, but the desire was there. "I could teach you, if you wanted..." The words seeming to catch the other by surprise, she leapt from the bench, leaving it behind. A few mumbled words, and Nari took the time to process the request - if it could

The morning sun had just begun to shine through the windows when Nari wandered into the recording studio. NIGHT was already lounging on the bench behind the piano, clearly waiting on her arrival. A brief smile, a finger to lips and she had turned her attention towards getting started. Shuffling onto the bench, she laid out the crystals before her, her fingers sliding across the keys before entering into the songs that she had deemed for the day.

A river. Or, at least, what was once a river. Now it was little more than a gulley that blocked her passage across the otherwise open road. Her eyes shifting to either side, following the track of the riverbed. She could see the village in the distance, still another twenty minutes walk away – assuming she could bypass the giant swathe in the ground somehow, or cross it without worry of not being able to make it back out. Another heavy sigh as she turned and began walking to her right, seeing a dip in the distance that appeared scalable. The ambush earlier had left her on edge, and she st

The sudden quiet as the final creature exploded seemed to hover over Nari. Her eyes cast over the rocky terrain around her, searching for any further ambushes, before eventually realising that she was truly alone, if only for the moment. Sighing, she let herself fall to the ground in a heap – taking bliss in the ability to do nothing more than simply collapse. The fight had taken a lot out of her, and she wanted nothing more than to simply sleep. “Still need to go figure out what sort of creature is pestering this village, though.” She grumbled, the only response a small chirp from Yuki n

This thing just didn’t want to die. Nari glared at the remaining lizard creature, her mouth locked into a tight grimace as she realised she was quickly running out of energy to continue this fight. She needed to end it, and quickly. The growl escaping her lips, she dodged yet another feeble attack from the thing, constantly being driven backwards as she avoided its more futile attempts to connect against her. Spinning, she tried to force her way around to its side, hoping to come into one of the openings it was leaving with its wide, long swings towards her. All without success, as the th

A shift in the air as Jomei followed her lead, his blade twirling around before coming to rest. Seconds later, Koga’s own strikes flew by, almost as fast as those of Jomei, albeit seemingly less powerful. A brief nod to the two, and then she realised one of the creatures had slammed its claws against her side, pushing her slightly off balance. Regaining her feet, she turned to face the weakest of the creatures, shrugging off the strike that had hit her as if nothing had occurred. Focusing instead on her target, she let herself fall into her ready position, the shield and spear levelled, t

“I look forward to the opportunity, if for no reason other than to redeem myself for what little I did here!” She gave a small wave of her hand towards the area around them, as if to signal the battlefield that they had been apart of until just moments ago. Her head nodding, she began the walk back towards the nearby settlement, turning to call back towards the other as she went. “It’s no problem at all. And if you ever need help with any other quests, or just anything in general in the future, feel free to send me a message! So long as I’m not in the middle of something, I’ll likely be a

“Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán Gaelach, Dúlamán na farrai-“ Her words cut off as she fully registered what NIGHT had implied. Mouth still open she took a couple of steps, before letting out an almost soft reply. “Hey…I’m not that…” The sentence unfinished as she realised that her guesses had been relatively, if not wholly, off. Stomping along in falsely presented anger, she eyed NIGHT, pulling herself in tighter towards the girl in response. “At least I’m cute, right?” Her train of thought lost for the moment, it took her a few steps before she launched back into the song, letting th

I want to sign up as casual, but let's be honest here...Might as well throw me on power posting.

Her head cocked to the left as Ghost clasped onto Koga’s arm, pulling herself in with what appeared to be a salute. Her mouth opened to ask, before it snapped shut, looking up at NIGHT and realising the irony of the question she had been about to present. Instead, her fingers tightened around her companion’s, before she turned her attention to the question posed towards her. “Yeah…yeah, the Ming Garden. It’s a little walk from here. Not too bad, but…we should be careful, especially with our…newest addition.” She failed to stop her eyes from shifting towards Ghost, hovering over the girl

Nari gave a slight nod at the introduction, her eyes shifting between Ghost, NIGHT and Koga as she tried to figure out how to handle this sudden…change in plans. From what both Koga and Ghost were saying, it sounded like the girl was slightly out of her depth here. “I’m sorry, but…what level is Ghost? I know we shouldn’t ask, but…how much do we need to worry about her being here?” She shifted her gaze towards Koga, knowing the irony of the next statement and knowing there was no way to avoid it. “I’d prefer not to have to worry about someone dying on us, especially when chasing down a rum

The second exploded into shards, and Nari felt a moment of relief again as she turned to face the third and final opponent. It seemed to pause at the loss of its two friends, as if it was suddenly coming to the conclusion that it was – for lack of a better description – expendable. Seeming to study her for a moment, it hesitated in its attack, allowing Nari a chance to put some distance between the two of them. She knew that she was quickly coming towards the close of what she could do, and that her best chance was simply to focus on wearing down the health, rather than the abilities of t

The two creatures froze in place as Nari caught both with the tip of her spear. She took the advantage to step back and collect herself, knowing that she was quickly running out of energy to continue the fight. She could feel her muscles protesting already against the strain that they had been pushed through thus far into the fight. “Alright, then. Not much left to do but finish this as easily as possible, then. Come on, let’s do this.” She called out at the two as they slowly began to twitch into movement again. The moment that both were completely unfrozen, Nari launched herself forward
