KnightessCiela

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. The woman dodged out of the way of her attack as Ciela swiped at her recklessly. She began to calm herself down as she knew if she continued to just swing recklessly she wouldn't get anywhere. She redirected her anger into the power of her attacks, she didn't want the next attack to miss. She hoped it wouldn't. The woman retaliated at Ciela and swiped at her with an urgency. As the woman did, she was hurt more than Ciela was. The

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.

Ciela rested on the blanket next to him, resting her head on his chest. "I think we could work in real life. To be honest, I'm quite stubborn in real life. I don't like to give things up that easily. You're definitely one of the things I would put up a fight for." She thought about the journey she'd been on since Aincrad began and what went on before she'd met Wulfrin. For a while she was sleeping in random houses or even the benches in the town of beginnings. She'd slept near the cathedral for a while there, which is how she was knowledgeable about the pricing with the different package

Ciela smiled, "Hello Sewallus! Glad to have you with us." She put her book away for a moment. "I'm just here to watch basically. I'm gonna stand there, look pretty and try not to get hit. I've heard the monkey king packs a punch." She looked the now trio that she was trailing behind. "Oh! Before I forget!" She materialized four medium sized tins. "I made food for the road. In case we got hungry. I even packed an extra just in case." She then handed them out to Star, Wulfrin, and Sewallus. "It's nothing fancy, just some chicken wraps. With cut veggies as a side. That way we aren't struggl

Ciela gave Wulfrin a look, with that look she said we are talking about that statement later. "Payment as requested James! I believe we are having Wulfrin's mentor Freyd officiate so we won't need your services in that department." As the payment gets handed to James, the info panel pops up before the two of them stating that they completed the quest and alerted them that they were now available to partake in the saying vows quest. With everything now in place Ciela walked out of the cathedral holding Wulfrin's hand. Ciela led Wulfrin out of the town of beginnings once more, and mate

"Yes actually! Are you Mina or Katoka?" She smiled, as her eyes met with the blondes eyes. Ciela wasn't expecting for the person she bumped into to be taller than her based on the stance that she was in. After a moment of chatting, she heard a familiar voice. It was Wulfrin. "Hi sweetie! I found Katoka!" She begins gesturing toward Katoka. "We're only waiting on Mina I believe." Right as Ciela finished speaking, she noticed another player approaching who seemed to know Katoka. The new companion introduced herself as Mina and thus their party was completed. "I completely forgot to in

Ciela looked to Wulfrin, wondering if it was true love. It definitely felt like it to her. She snapped herself back to reality once Freyd began speaking again. Ciela watched astonished as Freyd missed his attack. She thought to herself, "Oh god, he can miss?" She knew how this worked, knowing that if she attacked she would get absolutely bodied by the boss. She stayed back and pulled her book out and began reading. She wasn't going to risk it for this biscuit, no siree. She looked over to Nymoria, who looked scared out of her wits. She signed, "Hey Nymoria, it's fine. Freyd is one of the

"I don't know what you're talking about I totally haven't done any research into this." Her face reddened as she tried to change the subject. As they walked into the Cathedral, she pointed at the priest NPC, the one known as James Aria. "Hi! Are you the one we need to talk to about getting married? We've been toying with the idea." She smiled as she looked at Wulfrin. James responded to the pair, "So you two wish to be married? That is wonderful to hear! We will need to discuss the details of your wedding such as location, the size of the wedding, food, as well as the wedding rings. I can

"Yeah, we've been power leveling. At least Wulfrin has been attempting to power level me. The armor was actually a gift from him after one of our quests, he used it in place of flowers." She giggled, knowing she'd probably be embarrassing Wulfrin. "It was really cute." Ciela held up her sea otter. "I also got a familiar! Her name is Perlita." She placed her sea otter friend down on the ground once more and gave her a treat. She made sure not to forget treats for the others, she gave Solaris a little fish cookie. "Here you go Persi, I know it's probably not gonna beat your favorite but I know y

Before he left, "Sounds good love, I'm gonna take another little nap. I didn't really sleep well last night." She fell back asleep and before she knew it, the sun began pouring through the curtains. With the sun shining in her eyes, she woke up. She checked the time and it was right before the pair usually have lunch. She sleepily spoke, "Wulfrin should be home soon." She stood up and stretched, raising her arms in the air and let out a groan as if getting rid of her sleepiness. She got ready and walked out the door, their lunch and Perlita in tow. As she walked out the door, Wulfrin was

Ciela had managed to wake up before Wulfrin for once, she caught him as he was walking out the front door. "Hey sweetie, we still planning to go to floor one later this afternoon? We have to go talk to that one guy about getting married?" She looked at him, he was probably startled by her being awake this early, but she was so excited. "I'm gonna take a little nap until you're done at the forge at about noon. We can take lunch to go and get it done." As Wulfrin headed out the door, she curled up on the couch and fell asleep. A few hours passed and she woke up as the sun shone in her eyes

Ciela looked up at Wulfrin, "It woke me from my afternoon nap. It looks like it. This is exactly why I left the Town of Beginnings. In case the people on the frontlines needed help at some point. Hopefully with this quest I'll be more on your level." She equipped her gear and followed him toward the teleport gate. They arrived on Floor 21 and were greeted by the scenery of caves. It was beautiful down here, she always loved caves. Although most were to dank and musty for her to feel even remotely comfortable. She watched as Solaris went into the sky to attempt to locate Freyd, as she usua

"I agree. But to be honest, Mayor Dorian is a few green beans short of a casserole but it's not his fault. That's just the way he's been designed, poor thing." She chuckled and realized they had finally all finished the first few lessons. "Well, what now?" She looked at her companions. "We could always go and get lunch or something since it's still pretty early. Anyone have ideas?" She pulled out her book once more as she followed the group to wherever they may go. She attached the what she deemed her "reading leash" to Wulfrin's belt loop on his pants as she always did when she wanted to read

Ciela had somehow managed to get separated from Wulfrin and could not find him. "Well crap." She stood in the middle of Snowfrost. She had forgotten where he told her to go. She stood there and pondered for a moment, trying to think. She began to mutter to herself, "It was white something inn. Or was it Tavern?" She looked around and to no avail she couldn't find any shop or business with any names relatively close to that. "Maybe it's in a different area of the city. I don't wanna message him cause then he'll know I got lost." She let out a loud sigh and began to look around before bumping in
