Nari-Lanreth

“You’ve no opinion, then? Perhaps we should remain where we are, and not move back to your winter wonderland then?” The response was almost immediate – a collection of angry chirps from Yuki as the fox raised its head from the paws it once rested upon. Nari couldn’t help but smile at the response, her teasing having worked perfectly. “Oh, so you do have an opinion then? Fine, I’ll take it under consideration, but maybe you should voice it more often.” Another collection of chirps, followed by a heavy sigh as the fox seemed to slam its head back down onto its paws. Nari let out a giggle at

She collected her most recent find, before rolling over onto her stomach, beginning her search in earnest as she pulled aside tulips, long weed grasses, and an assortment of other flowering beauties that she didn’t quite recognise. As she worked, she continued talking, enjoying the ability to speak aloud her thoughts to the little fox. Beside her, Yuki had stretched out in the grass, enjoying the ability to uncurl for the moment. “It’s just…I know things could get bad, so I restrain – I stay away from the hope of goodness. But…maybe that’s why things go bad? I know Brigette is watching ov

With the final creature exploding into shards, Nari let herself relax slightly. Pulling up her menu and placing away the armour and weapon, she turned her attention back to the garden itself. She could see before her varying bushes, trees, flowers – everything that could provide beauty. “Nemo truly does provide a haven of beauty, doesn’t he Yuki?” The fox had uncurled itself from her shoulders, yawning before dropping to the ground now that the fighting was done. Almost unconsciously, she began to let her hands wander, pulling aside the grasses closest to herself in a natural searching ma

Her spear tip slid through the side of the creature, tearing a large gash from it as the frost poured out, covering the body of the small dragon. The creature seemed to freeze in place as the ice slowly covered it, and Nari watched as its health bar dropped further, her own only raising back towards its original filled setting. She knew that her luck likely wouldn’t hold forever, however, and forced herself into motion. Letting her shield fall slightly to the side, she pulled back her spear, as if preparing to toss it. She held her pose for a moment, waiting until the little dragon had be

Her aim was true. The spear was set to connect with the little dragon, the tip almost piercing the hide and leaving its mark upon the creature. Her eyes almost didn’t catch the movement as it dipped, sliding a hair’s breath away from the blade – causing Nari’s strike to miss, but also saving her from a retaliatory strike in return. Her scowl returning as she slid past and around to face the creature again, she set herself into her ready pose, her arm quivering slightly as it pulled the spear up and into place. Her eyes glared over the edge of the shield as she waited for the little dragon

She’d known there was a risk to her manoeuvre, a cost to pay. As the little dragon before her exploded into thousands of shards, Nari felt a sudden impact on her back. She knew without looking that the second creature had taken advantage of her open area, striking into a weak spot. She watched as the health bar dipped – not enough to be a true concern, but more than she was used to out of the creatures here. Forcing her breath out in order to calm herself, she spun to face the little dragon, scowling at it as she brought her shield up before her. Levelling her spear she glared at the crea

Her strike was rewarded by a shattering of scales as she broke through the defences of the little dragon. She watched the health bar plummet, coming to a rest at nearly a quarter marker of where it had been when the fight began. The second little dragon had attempted to slam into her, but seeing it coming Nari had been able to duck beneath the flight path, forcing the creature beyond and into a wide turn to come back towards her. A quick glance between the two and she knew that she would be taking a risk with her next attack. Spinning on her heel to bring her in a wide swinging arc, she l

The tip of her spear slashed across both creatures, and Nari felt a moment of pride as she managed to land such a strong blow. She watched as the first of the creatures seemed to become coated in ice, the entire form freezing in place as the effects of her weapon took effect. The second creature, although not as gravely damaged, also seemed to seize up, providing Nari the opportunity to set herself again. ‘This is going far better than against the wolves. Perhaps I should focus on these smaller creatures more often, they seem easier…’ Nodding, more to herself than anything else, she let h

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
