KnightessCiela

Wulfrin had led the pair through the forest and into a large clearing. Ciela had already begun to hear the boss music playing in her head before the boss even appeared, she knew what was about to happen. Her first floor boss. She'd come a long way since the beginning of their journey. Yes, she was getting kneecapped by the system. But she wasn't too worried about it. Their stats were high enough before being kneecapped that no matter what this wouldn't be a challenging fight. The large plant had human teeth and lips, she shuddered as it emerged. It reminded her of some kind of man-eating

Ciela was more than slightly baffled when Freyd stated that the king's name was Bob. "Is that just a nickname for him or is that actually his name? If that's legitimately his name that is really funny." Ciela responded to the message sent by Nymoria, "I'll try. Wulfrin is our second best bet for actually doing damage to the king." Ciela dashed toward the forgotten king. Activating her sword art at just the right moment as she laid her blow into him like a very small knife cutting through a very large very thick stick of butter. She knew he wouldn't take much damage due to her low dam

Ciela prepared her attack against the woman. Ciela kept her mind sharp. She wasn't going to let the woman's looks distract her from what needed to be done. * * *

Ciela hesitated a moment then agreed. "Fine, your duel. You pick the place." Ciela wondered who this was. She hasn't been cross to any players at all, so why was this woman challenging her? As they walked toward the waterfall with the pond Ciela felt uneasy. The atmosphere felt as if it were darkening, almost as if there was some kind of bubble around the two. They finally arrived after what seemed like forever to Ciela. The entire time she racked her brain, trying to figure out how this woman knew her. While Ciela was distracted, the hooded figure ran towards her. To which she step

"So you are the one following me. Why are you following me?" She faced the hooded figure. Her hand still on her sword. "I heard you're trying to climb the ranks, even gotten close with a few high ranking players. Figured I'd see what all the fuss is about." Ciela could hear the evil grin creeping through the woman's voice. "You want a duel? Is that seriously it? You didn't have to follow me and bully me if all you wanted was a duel. You could've just asked." Ciela scolded the figure like a mother would scold her child. "Where are we dueling? Since it's all so important to you." Cie

Ciela and her sea otter companion continued through the village. That feeling of being watched did not escape Ciela's mind. She equipped her armor and had her sword and shield at the ready as the pair exited the city. Ciela then noticed a person in a dark, hooded robe. She put her hand on her sword and watched the hooded figure, taking note of their every move. She assumed they were an NPC and began to pay them no mind. That feeling that she was being watched began once more. Was the hooded figure the one watching her the whole time? She turned to where she saw the hooded figure and

Ciela nodded, "But at least damage is spread around." She looked at her feet as she splished and splashed her feet on the surface of the water. She giggled at his statement that he misspoke and decided to use it as a moment to tease him. Ciela elbowed Wulfrin playfully. She smirked and winked at him. "Soon it'll be my bed too. We're gonna be sharing that bed before too long." She continued splashing her feet on the surface of the water. She grabbed a stick off the ground nearby and she used it to lazily search for materials. "Well my energy is pretty much full, shall we? If we're for

She became flustered as her face pressed up against his chest and he ran his fingers through her hair. His hug was so comforting. "I-I didn't mean to. I just got really excited..." She said still burying her face up against his chest. She could stay like this forever. She truly didn't want it to end. Ciela thought about what was to come. The wedding and probably immediately after they'd get called to the frontlines. She worried about if she'd be strong enough to even be on the frontlines in time. As Wulfrin released her and wiped her tears she asked, "What if I'm not strong enough to be o

"My energy is a tad low to go again. But if you want to, give me a second to recuperate. I'll let you start this next one." She puts away her sword and bridges the gap between the two. She became flustered for a moment, "Also, sorry I rushed you through lunch.. I just... I got really excited." Without thinking Ciela goes to bury her face against Wulfrin's chest so she could give and receive a hug. Ciela collided with Wulfrin's chest plate and immediately regretted the decision. Thankfully the pain wasn't awful due to the pain absorbers of the system but it still shot through her face. It felt

As Wulfrin killed one of the wolves, Ciela began to prepare her next attack. Her strategy wasn't doing more damage, but to spread the damage around to each wolf. The more wolves she hit the better. She activated her AoE sword art and performed a swipe attack at the wolves. She'd hoped they were distracted enough by Wulfrin's attack that she could claim the killing blow. Two of the wolves exploded into a million tiny fractals, but one remained. It was ever so close to death had it not dodged her attack. She swiped away the loot menu and continued to pay attention to the combat. Since she a

Ciela continued to munch on her snacks as the ground began to quake. She was bringing her last cucumber stuck to her mouth as the ground began to quake once more. It fell out of her hand and dematerialized to which she pouted. As she did, Wulfrin maneuvered her behind him. "Wha-" She was interrupted by Sewallus roaring. She spotted the huge monkey, and assumed this was the Monkey King. She was so distracted she hadn't even noticed that Star had rushed past the two and performed the first blow against the beast. She watched the health bar quickly deplete after Morningstar's attack. W

Ciela excitedly finished her lunch and handed Wulfrin his lunch. "Hurry and eat. Gotta keep our energy up for the fight!" She immediately got up and waited for Wulfrin to finish eating. As Wulfrin finished eating, she packed away the blanket and basket. She grabbed his hand and ran off toward a pack of wolves. "It's go time. I'll go first!" She prepared her sword art and with the assistance of the system, hopped over the pack of wolves and swiped at them all. She managed to hit all but one. She pointed at the one she missed. "No biggie. You'll be next, pupper." She realized after she fin

Ciela reddened as Nymoria stated, "Why are you leashed to him? Is he your master?" Before she could say anything explaining her case, Wulfrin explained the "book leash." She knew it was a funny idea, but it's the best she'd found so far. Ciela had problems focusing on things sometimes, so when she did she would read a book for a few moments and be able to focus again. She called it her recharge time. Ciela chuckled, "I know it's strange. But I trust Wulfrin with my life. And that's a heavy thing to state in this game." As Wulfrin suggested them take on a dungeon, Ciela glared at him.
