Nari-Lanreth

She wasn’t quite sure how long had passed, but as she stretched she realised she had been kneeling for what must’ve been long enough for her legs to fall asleep – or, whatever the equation in this virtual world was. Forcing the life back into them, she slowly climbed to her feet, summoning her spear to assist her for the first few moments. Glancing around, she could see a few groups of creatures moving throughout the garden. The pack of wolves that still remained seemed to be keeping its distance from her, but closer to she could see more of the little fairy drakes that seemed to flit fro

She pulled her find in towards her, taking care not to disturb the plants any more than they had to be. Her eyes roamed over the nearby flowers, noticing the violet colouring of the petals. A soft smile came to her lips, and against her better judgement she reached out and picked one of the flowers off, gently placing it in her hair, just above her left ear. Although unable to see it without something reflective, she felt that it gave her a more ladylike appearance, and for a single moment she found herself wondering if NIGHT would enjoy the look. Forcing the thought aside, and her attent

The final shards glittered in the air as the second wolf exploded, slowly disappearing as its data was returned to whatever portion of the server took into account the loss of one of its own. Nari rested against her spear for a moment, letting her eyes roam the area as she took in her breath. The fight had lasted far longer than she had expected, and for the moment she wanted nothing more than just to relax and recover from the exertion. Calling up her menu, she stored away the spear and shield for the time. Heading to a nearby bush, she let herself fold onto her knees, her hands immediat

Responsible, reliable. Not a complete disaster of a human being. Words that Nari never expected to hear titled upon herself. The thought of it made her grin in response, before erupting into a fit of uncontrolled giggles. Doubling over, she tried to control herself enough to get the words out from between her teeth, fighting against the sudden burst. “Res…responsible…reliable…not a complete – disaster of a human…” The laughter took over her entirely for a few moments, before she was able to reign herself in. She forced herself to kneel, holding her sides in an attempt to stop the pain tha

It moved far faster than Nari had expected, suddenly swooping beneath her well lined strike and slamming itself into her shield – forcing the edge to catch her in the face, before the thorns within it lashed back towards the wolf. A growl escaped her lips as she forced the beast off her and a distance away, her feet back pedaling in order to give her more room to react. “Fine, have it your way then. If you don’t want to make this easy…” Her words sounded like an empty threat as she levelled herself out. Bringing her spear up, she lined the tip up with her target, a soft prayer leaving her

Already halfway through the air by the time it realised its mistake, the wolf could do nothing to avoid the tip of her spear as it drove into the underside, forcing the muscles within it to seize up. Collapsing to the ground in a pile, Nari stepped away to give it space – knowing that being too close when her stun affect wore off could be dangerous. Instead, she set her shield in place, levelling her spear and taking a deep breath. She knew the fight was almost over, if she could just land one more, final hit upon the creature. Eyeing up her opponent, she waited until it began to twitch.

The first wolf shattered into thousands of shards as the thorns hidden within the blade erupted outwards, piercing the wolf in hundreds of places. At the same time, Nari felt the second wolf lash out at her, causing her health bar to dip slightly, but activating the thorns in her shield at the same moment – tearing into the other in a display almost as aggressive as her weapon had been. Turning to glare at the remaining beast, Nari pulled herself into her ready stance, eyeing it as it paced before her. She could see the preparation in its stance – the way its shoulders dipped slightly bef

She felt herself pummelled backwards as both wolves slammed into her, their claws and teeth ripping past the shield, before tearing into her body itself. She assumed that for many, this would bring fear – but something about the whole situation instead forced her into a calmer state, a more aware state. As everything seemed to slow down, she watched the health bar dip, then almost immediately begin to recover. The wolves, having backed off, seemed to circle her with hesitation – their paws raised far longer than she would’ve expected, as they stepped towards either side. Nari felt her eye

It had been some time since she had visited this specific shop. The last time she had come, she was sent to pick something up – informed by one close to her that the shop was holding something of value. It seemed weird, this time, to be dropping things off, instead. Bringing up her menu, she quickly deposited a number of items on the counter, before glancing around to see if anyone was there. When she was met only with silence, she called out to the room instead. “Uhm…hi...? Just, uhm…dropping off some things here that you can…well, evaluate and then do whatever you want with, I guess? Do

The previous day’s work in the forge had reinvigorated Nari’s drive towards her craft, reminding her of the enjoyment that could be found at the hammer and anvil. The clear ringing of hammer, reshaping the metal beneath her touch as she brought her creations to life. Today, she had a different idea in mind – focusing less on the creation of weapon, and more on the creation of armour and defensive sets. She knew that soon she would have to replace her own pieces, and in preparation for that determined that it was time to focus on the one piece she knew would come first.

Letting herself roll onto her back, she smiled up at the two others. She hadn’t expected this kind of excitement when she had invited the two to the garden. “Well, it may not be the fish we wanted, but it looks like we did manage to reel something in from the water. Do we keep it or toss it back?” Rolling herself to her feet, giggling at her own joke, she glanced around the garden. A few packs of wolves, and some of those weirder looking humanoid like creatures roamed the area. Collecting her shield and spear, she pointed towards a collection of the creatures, their long razor like wing-f

A shift as the bed compressed slightly, signifying someone had joined. A small collection of breaths, before she felt the touch of the other, somehow able to tell by the very touch of the fingers, the heat on her back that it was NIGHT. “Good…girl…don’t you be…going anywhere…” She nuzzled herself backwards, forming in against the other, trying to press herself as tightly as she could. Her mind flashed an image of a cold winter’s day, a fire lit and the two resting nearby. She wasn’t sure if their future would hold that, but as she drifted off to sleep, she found herself coming to a f

Nari had fallen entirely asleep. She had awoken only twice on the walk home; once when they had first entered the busy streets of Taft, the noise of it jostling her back to the conscious world for only a brief moment. The second time, when a loud knocking had disturbed her. She had remained conscious enough to hear Onóra’s greeting, and then ushering. She was lucid enough to understand that NIGHT had managed to bring her home, and that Onóra had been available to provide entry. ‘Should…give NIGHT a key…’ The thought floated through her mind, a brief follow up wondering if she would rememb

It had been some time since Nari had taken the time to work in her forge outside of custom order requests. She had almost considered leaving the work for another day, taking the time to relax. But she knew that if she began that habit, it would only morph until her forge had been all but left behind. Her hand on the frame, she spent a few moments simply glancing over the forge, her eyes tracing the lines of every edge as she reminded herself that this was hers. Smiling softly, she made her way to the anvil, picking up her hammer as she went, the urge returning to her almost immediately.

“How do you…plan to carry me?” She giggled, already feeling half asleep as she considered the thought of NIGHT carrying her home. She knew the girl was bigger than her, physically, but the entire concept was so foreign to Nari that she couldn’t imagine it without finding herself lost in a fit of giggles. She fell silent as she considered the opinion NIGHT had provided about her build. It was true, her heavily defensive build did put her at a disadvantage when dealing damage, which in turn did make the fights last longer, when it was just her. But that was what she had wanted, to be the on

The hand had felt…heavenly. Nari had closed her eyes at the touch, allowing the sensation to run through her. The bliss of the touch had her almost euphoric, and she felt the trembling in herself at its touch – desiring more, but not willing to beg for it. “Enhancements…mmm…yeah…I’ve got…got some of those…” The words were hard to get out as the sensation of the touch still ran through her. Her eyes still closed, she could feel the hand on hour shoulder, comforting yet firm. “Have a few…still to get…eventually…plans.” The hand fell away, and a groan of disappointed escaped from Nari.

Nari knelt down beside Cleo, folding her legs beneath and behind her in a somewhat comfortable seated position. Giving a soft, half smile at Cleo, she shook her head and shrugged her left shoulder slightly. “I’ll be entirely honest, I have no idea if it’s going to help permanently. I guess…I guess it depends on how much you focus on it and keep it up. I know it will help some, but at the same time, there will be new troubles ahead.” She paused as Yuki slithered into her lap, laying her head against Nari’s arm before closing her eyes. Raising her left and stroking the fox’s head, Nari trie

“Oh, I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to come across condescending…I’m sure you’ve been gathering for some time.” She ducked her head, pulling her chin inwards in embarrassment, the tops of her ears flushing ever so slightly. “I just…found this helped me a lot, when I was first foraging. I have to say, picking up the skill definitely helped my finds, a lot. I would recommend it if you’re even considering it slightly.” Her hands continued to pull at the dirt beneath her, her smile genuine as she considered her first attempts at foraging. She was just turning to Jomei, to continue their conversation

“I care…” The words were whispered as her chin tucked into her chest, a feeling of despair coming over her as she realised how disregarding she had come across. She hadn’t meant to, and the fact that NIGHT had taken it as such caused her more upset than she had expected. “I was just lost in thought…I'm sorry.” Silently, she cursed herself for being so aloof, even if just for a moment. Staring at the ice cream, her appetite for it entirely gone, she gave the bowl a light push towards NIGHT, before rest her head in her arms. Eyes staring up at NIGHT from the table, she watched as the other

“I’m curious how you’re going to make it work for me.” Letting her spoon hang from her finger tips, her head on the back of her hand as she smiled at NIGHT. She liked the girl this flustered, it definitely added an amount of adorable to the already…well, adorable. She licked her spoon, the ice cream having begun to melt off it, while she stared at the other. Her mind focused on the twitch of the muscles as the other spoke, the way the jaw shifted, the eyes seemed to bounce around – never resting on one single place too long. She realised that she hadn’t been listening, her mind compl

Nari smiled as the cat seemed to hesitate, looking towards Cleo for guidance. At the same time, the girl seemed taken aback by the familiar’s actions, as if she wasn’t entirely sure what to do – or that she was surprised by the familiar wanting direction. A few breaths past, and Nari began to worry that Cleo would entirely freeze up and miss the opportunity. A sudden command, and the cat raced across the open area, leaping and slamming its paws into the centre target as directed, causing the entire piece to shake. Nari let loose an applause, her hands coming together in soft clapping soun
