[SP-F5] - <<The Traveler>> De(Hydra)ted [Complete]


Recommended Posts

Hydra had been returning on one of his trips to the fifth floor when a strange young woman approached him, begging for help and sending him on another ghastly search and find quest. Now here he was stood on a sand dune staring at the vast expanse of sand that lay before him, with only Twilight to accompany him. "Urgh..." He slumped his shoulders forward,  and muttered to himself, "It takes a day and night to get to the center of this desert..." The spearman wouldn't have a problem if it was any of the lower floors, but up here on floor 5 there were nothing but scorpions to accompany the sand, he hadn't yet sighted a cactus. Slowly he marched forward and began his adventure into the wilderness of the fifth floor.

After several minuted of walking Hydra could seriously feel the heat hitting him. The spearman pulled up his hood that Allania had crafted him, it didn't offer any enchantments but was enough to provide him with some shade. The player kept walking deeper and deeper into the desert over the day, he would be sleeping out tonight so would need to be wary of any sandstorms as well as possible creature encounters. He had heard about the harsh conditions out here but was fortunate to make it so far without encountering any harm.

By the time Hydra had found a spot he could settle in it had grown dark. The heat of the desert had vanished and the spearman was left out in the cool temperatures the night had bought with it. "This may not be that bad..." As the spearman spoke the sound of rumbling came from behind him. "Huh..." The Brunette spun around and noticed a huge cloud of sand approaching him, lit up by the digital stars. The only thing he could do was run, which he did. Soon enough the sandstorm engulfed him ripping away at the parts of skin left open. After several minutes it passed leaving Hydra with scratches all over and taking a good amount of HP. The spearman collapsed from exhaustion. On the bright side he had made it to the center and could now start searching for the crates.

"Ugh..." Hydra had a horrible headache. The heat of the sun pierced the spearman's armor as he coughed up some of the sand he had passed out in. "That's right..." He said sitting up and rubbing his brown hair. "I got caught up in that sandstorm overnight". Sighing to himself he stood up remembering the quest he was on. He felt like giving up now, he did not want to be put in that situation again. Darting looks around for a sign of anything his eye caught something odd looking. "Eh?" Slowly he approached it, cautious it could pounce on him at any second. After blinking a few times and pinching himself to make sure he was definitely awake it was the crate of medicine he had been searching for directly in front of him. "Finally some luck." He chuckled and picked them up adding them to his inventory. "Now I need to get out of here."

As Hydra turned around he had completely forgotten the direction he had come from. "Ah... I probably should have thought about that..." He stood with a solemn blank expression on his face. After a few moments he pointed at the sun "Head East..." I'm sure that's a good idea. As he began walking he was surprised how quickly he had retrieved the loot. The brunette looked around for a while, to see if he could spot anything whilst he walked. Once again the harsh rays of the sun pierced his skin. Upon closer inspection the desert wasn't as desolate as it looked, Hydra picked up a red looking gem whilst he walked. His hood managed to protect him from any external damage.

"Ooh Shiny." He picked up the object and examined it, as he stored the ruby in his inventory he noticed another one in the sand. "I must be in luck today." He chuckled, as he went in to pick the second object up, two sets of hands reached from the ground and tried to grasp his legs. The spearman backed away quickly surprised. He watched as the hands slowly pushed themselves from the sand to reveal two mummies. The Brunette gulped and slowly withdrew his spear. Now not only did he have the weather to worry about but killing these creatures as well.

This was an usual situation for Hydra, it was hot he was tired and he had never battled a creature like this before. The creatures staggered around, they were slow but unpredictable. The spearman darted forward and struck one through it's heart as strong as he could. His weapon cut through easily, after all it was only made of rotten flesh and bandages. It slumped forward but before it shattered the other mummy appeared behind him and both hit him at once. Hydra could only describe it as disgusting, they stunk and the smell emitting from them was attracting mosquitoes.

Hydra quickly spun around to dodge the second attack, he wasn't wearing his amulet of evasion however. The mummy slashes across his armor leaving a line of red pixels across his chest. As the first mummy blew up into crystals he led a counter attack once again cutting this mummy up in one clean stroke, directed at it's heart. Panting the spearman looked up, a green light surrounded him slowly repairing the wounds that had been afflicted onto him. Looking around he noticed more rubies but decided it would be best he didn't touch them.

"Ughh..." Hydra swatted at the mosquito's gathering around him. His skin was burning red hot and his armor was weighing him down. Twilight had spent the whole day basking in the sun, coiled up on his head. The brunette sulked to himself at how some had it so easy. Up ahead the brunette caught sight of something. "A cactus?" He asked himself, his attitude finally perking up. As the heat wave cleared he could see several palm tree's surrounding what looked like a lake. "Ooh an oasis..." He decided to take a detour from his route and go and investigate the strange looking area.

The oasis was actually an oasis. Hydra had doubts it was just an illusion but found to his surprise it was actually real, then again would a game like SAO be developed enough for illusions. The brunette pondered this to himself as he took a seat down next to the river. Noticing an empty coconut shell he quickly stuffed it in his inventory. Despite the desert being sand it was certainly bountiful in the materials it was providing the spearman with. Sighing to himself he heard the roaring of a sandstorm somewhere across the desert but no where near him.

The oasis seemed safe enough. Reaching out with his water skin Hydra filled his bottle from the small lake and happily chugged it down. The day was coming to an end, the desert heat was leaving the sand. The spearman had received the cargo he was after and wondered why the woman NPC had been asking it. "Ah that's right" He said bumping his hands together, "She was sick and needed medicine..." Probably why I helped in the first place. Twilight finally woke up and began buzzing around the area, drinking from the water.

As he looked at the cool water he noticed something odd sticking out, "More loot?" slowly he waded in, the water was refreshing. As he picked up the strange object he noticed it was a small blue sapphire in the middle off the lake. "Ooh how nic..." The spearman couldn't finish his sentence, the water around him begun to swirl madly, he was trapped in a maelstrom. Pulled underwater Hydra was bashed into several objects, causing a trail of red pixels to swirl with him. Eventually it came to a standstill. The spearman slowly crawled his way out only to be met by two angry alligators.

Hydra withdrew his weapon and activated his area of effect sword art. With a few spins and stabs both alligators had dissipated into crystals in a matter of moments. "Hmm I should really find a way back." His voice was drained of energy. Slowly he trudged up the nearby sand bank to the outskirts of the Oasis. Glancing around he headed back towards his supposed route home. The brunette whistled to himself gently, the cool water slowly evaporating off him. Hopefully he could make it home...

As Hydra walked away from the safe haven he was instantly battered by a sandstorm. He had to cover his mouth to stop himself from spluttering on the sand. Twilight had tucker herself in the players boot so at least she was okay. Over the next few minutes the brunette had to walk through the raging swirling of the sand. It stung his eyes but the brunette was glad it wasn't real life as he feared the pain would be far worse. He suddenly remembered the vanity hood Allania had bought him, slowly he bought his hands away from his chest, the bare skin got ripped slightly but he managed to pull his hood up.

After several moments of staggering forward his upper body pushing against the wind, Hydra finally managed to break through the chaotic sandstorm and reach the other side. He flopped to the floor, his knees first digging into the sand. His upper body stayed in an upright position as he looked towards the sun. Tears had welled in his eyes from where the sand had gathered, he quickly regathered himself and wiped them with his sleeve. There seemed to be a town further up ahead. "Looks like I may have made it..." As he stepped forward something was off, he had gone to far around the desert and now had to pass the fields of fire in order to get back. He gulped, flames sprouted out the ground slightly up ahead, the desert transformed into a perfectly flat plane of baked ground. In order to get passed he would have to make it through this.

Hydra took one step forward and a tongue of flame shot out in front of him. "Ah" He retracted his body and pulled his arms in cautiously darting looks around to see if he could spot anymore. That flame had narrowly missed him, the brunette made sure to carefully step around it. The floor was covered in cracks like it was one massive jigsaw. The spearman had no idea when a flame would shoot out. Thinking about it, he wondered if there was a digital volcano around, what other reason would there be for these flames.

Hydra took a few more steps forward and nothing happened. "Maybe this isn't so bad." As he finished the sentence several cracks around him seemed to erupt. It startled the spearman so much that he began to run across the whole field. His foot steps seemed to trigger more and more of the flame plumes sending them up around him. One of the straps on his boot caught fire, it was quickly doused by the wind but the brunette didn't want to spend any longer on these fields. The village up ahead was getting closer and closer.

The baked ground beneath his feet slowly turned back into sand. Hydra let out a sigh as the last few flames grew smaller and smaller. He crouched down and placed his hands on his knees panting out of breath. "I wonder what that was..." He glanced back over to the place he had walked through. "A dungeon possibly, maybe I should look around." The brunette thought about it for a moment then shook his head deciding the NPC getting her medicine was more important. Slowly he picked himself back up and continued the hike towards the village.

After an hour or so of walking Hydra came to the gates of the town he had met the girl in. He sniffed himself, it wasn't the best state he had ever been. Shrugging he walked forward and found an NPC. After questioning on the girl's whereabouts he was pointed towards a building at the back of the village, it appeared to be some sort of shrine. The temple was made of yellow brick and shaped rather like a pyramid, although much smaller than a normal sized one. The entrance was covered by a purple silk curtain, the brunette carefully moved in to see if the quest giver was in here. (Dungeon search next post)

"What the..." As Hydra pulled the silk back a set of stone stairs led deep down into the floor. The quest giver was lay on a bed, her face quite pale. The spearman rushed over, "Are you alright!" He quickly got the medicine from the cargo he found and poured it down her throat. After several moments she seemed to regain consciousness. "Down there..." She pointed her hand towards the stone steps, "Please kill it..." Slightly surprised by what she was saying Hydra backed up slightly and gulped. After this the NPC fainted. Unsure what to do the spearman stared into the eerier pit of darkness that this strange shrine led to.
