Faerie

Fae nade her way quickly through the streets of the unfamiliar town, she had been walking through the streets of Ronbaru for over an hour running in circles as she tried to make her way to the theater that the information brokers told her about. Through the brief conversation she had had with the man, she had learned of a meeting taking place in this town with all of the leaders on this floor to talk about some recent developments in regards to the floors stability. Clutching a piece of paper tightly Fae made her way into the theater, sitting down quietly she caught the ending of a speech

Event? I should check the discord more. Sign me up!

The shadows were beginning to darken as the light of the moon and stars quickly diminished. The large boulders and rocky crags breaking up what little moonlight there was, casting menacing and jagged shadows to fall over the entire clearing the pair were standing in. Fae stared into the blue eyes of the shorter woman, not breaking contact as they spoke. "There were ten thousand people who first joined this game. And there are probably less than fifty who go to these raid parties, who go to the frontier and find these labyrinths, and fight these bosses. You may not be special because if t

Fae accepted Nari's outstretched hand, trying to will the red on her face to go away as she was pulled to her feet. Sheathing her blade Fae listened intently to her current partner as she stared into the cave that the troll had first come from. Nari was right and Fae knew it, she had seen what happened when the death game first began. She had been living at the wayward inn for almost her entire time in sword art online and she watched as so many children with no place to go gathered by the day, and more and more people set off to change their fate, she hadn't heard from any of them for a long

Fae watched as the troll standing menacingly above her exploded into glittering shards, leaving just Nari standing before her, blocking out the sun, the scythe she twirled finishing its arc to rest gracefully. Fae knelt staring up at the woman who had killed the troll in one final swing, staring, cheeks still wet with tears. The paralysis from fear was gone along with the troll, and was now just replaced with awe for the reaper in front of her. Fae realized suddenly that she was staring and grew red in the face with embarrassment, getting up quickly she brushed the dirt off her pants and

Fae got the notification that her newly weapon had been commissioned later that week. Making her way back to the shop on the twenty-first floor Fae smiled faintly, it was going to be a huge change to use a weapon so fundamentally different to what she was used to, but she couldn't get the graceful sight of Nari out of her head, and she couldn't not have this weapon at this point. Making her way into the shop Fae quickly went to the main counter making small pleasantries with Ren before grabbing the scythe he held out to her. Fae just stared in awe for a moment it was perfect and he had improve

It hadn't been long since Fae and Nari had fought and killed the Stone Troll on the first floor, and she couldn't get the beauty and grace of her party member out of her mind, picturing the way the she twirled and moved with the scythe in her hands as she killed the creature that had been haunting Fae for years. Fae was lost in thought as she found herself coming to a blacksmith that had been highly recommended to her, someone that did quality work for a reasonable price. "Hey, is Ren in?" the sound of Fae's voice rang out through the seemingly empty building before she found the man she was l

Fae couldn't help but let out a laugh as the troll seemed to easily dodge Nari's attack, she knew that it was probably just blind luck based on how easy the combat had been for the higher level player so far, but the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Trying to hold in the laughter Fae heard the request for her to distract the hulking beast "Hey ugly, Why don't you pick on someone a bit more your size." A rock sailed through the air from Fae's hand bouncing off of the thick hide on the back of the troll's head. It was when the troll turned around, eyes a deep red and nostrils flaring thro

Fae was oblivious to the pause and hesitation in her friends voice as she got ready to face the troll again not looking as she kept up the conversation. "Definitely not, I have respect for them, a deep one, I couldn't imagine having to go to a new beginning after life all on my own. Sacrificing their own eternal rest to guide others through an otherwise perilous journey. They really are the unsung heroes in a lot of folktales." Fae smiled widely at Nari from the other side of the troll before swinging her sword at it leaving a streak of bright red across its back. "I can't imagine that h

Fae listened to Nari as she explained her thought process, interested in what the woman had to say making sure to dodge any attacks that aimed their way. "I definitely agree, I don't think reapers deserve the bad credit they get all the time, I can't imagine the kind of loneliness that would come with ferrying the dead to the after life." a somewhat somber expression passed briefly over Fae's face before she shook her head "Well Ms. Reaper, thank you for helping me ferry this wayward soul to his rightful place in the after life." Another strike of the club landed close to Fae and she took this

Fae slipped narrowly out of the way of another downward club swing, the green fabric flowing behind her, giving her the visage of a tall, lean fairy. It was clear that Nari wasn't fighting as strong as she could, and Fae was certain that if she was the troll would have met its untimely end long before now with how much damage she could do so casually. The thought was comforting, the troll that was so strong and scary to her only this morning was beginning to feel like a distant memory, replaced by the sight of purple hair and glinting metal spinning, making the troll look weak in comparison.

Despite the situation Fae couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as Nari looked around for her, before her eyes finally landed on the prone Fae on the ground. "You know, I don't think I ever thought of that, I'll have to try that next time." Fae shifted all of her weight onto her back and swung her legs up quickly flipping herself back onto her feet in a crouch watching as Nari easily swept her curved polearm through the air into the troll, doing almost as much damage as her without even using a sword art. Fae stood in her crouch eyes wide mesmerized by the casual way that the purple haired

The small cheer from the purple haired girl in the sidelines did a lot to raise Fae's confidence as she parried another of the troll's blows, and the encouragement that soon followed increased that feeling. A smile kept across Fae's face as she thought of the last time someone was cheering for her on the side lines, the picture of the blonde man in full plate jumping up and down at her first kill was an odd one, but one that made Fae happy. "You know, you remind me a lot of my old friend." Fae dove towards the troll slashing her sword through its thin taught flesh. "He was always a good cheerl

Fae listened to her friend's advice, intently watching the large figure of the troll for any sign of an attack. Nari was right, calm and focus would be the difference between victory and death, and Fae had no intention of the latter. Letting her mind clear Fae didn't respond to the advice instead waiting for the moment the troll swung its large club at her horizontally. Taking the opportunity Fae brought her blue sword up to block the club, feeling it in her arms and legs as she nearly lost her footing from the heavy blow before running forward a similarly bringing her sword into a slash acro

Fae was gathering ingredients for her shop when she suddenly stumbled into a clearing a tent and a few easily moved tables made up most of the camp, but the stove and cooking gear all over the haphazard camp made it clear what its intended purpose was. The red haired man at camp was in the process of cutting something on one of the counters offering that she look around and buy some of his wares. Not wanting to be impolite fae picked up a small cup of gelato and purchased it, thanking the man before going back to her own cooking endeavors. Bought: gelato. | TIERLESS DESSERT | LD III [1] -

Fae found herself wondering through the first floor on a pleasantly warm day her eyes eventually landing on a small shop the smell of coffee and books filtering through the glass doors. Smiling to herself she walked into the shop exchanging small pleasantries with the owner of the business and perusing the wares. A small vial of what seemed to be a glittering paste caught her attention, the label explaining that the paste could sometimes catch the attention of small creatures and monsters. Thinking of the frontliners that she had seen with small and useful pets following them Fae quickly purch

Fae looked towards Nari a feignt smile on her lips at the praise and encouragement. Nari was right, Fae was different than she was back then, and this time it would be different this time she wasn't in over head and this time she wouldn't be running. Setting her gaze back on the beast before her Fae held her sword out. The wave of confidence bolstering her stance, Fae watched as the troll shook its head snorting as it glared down at the much smaller figure. Fae kept here eyes locked on the troll, waiting for it to launch an attack. She would have more luck dodging her foe and counter att

Fae leapt up as the large troll slammed its club down on the ground missing her as she planted her foot on the weapon, using it as a springboard to launch herself towards the beasts head. Bringing the flat of her blade slamming into the side of its skull making it stumble to the side as she landed behind it. The troll was very clearly shocked by the attack as it stood there, brain scrambled for a moment. Fae compared the amount of damage that she did compared to the troll and a wave of confidence rushed through her, this creature may have been super powerful to a completely green character who
