[SP-F8] The forest is burning<<Deforestation>>

[Zandra 0]

Zandra had just woke up and is now sitting in an armchair infront of the fireplace. Like so many times before, she was sipping on a cup of hot choclate. Her eyes watched the flames as they made their neverending dance. There was something special with a living fire. Zandra could sit and jsut look at it for hours. It was one of her weird behaviours she had. But today she didnt had time to watch the fire for hours. Today she had work to do. And if she wanted to be done today, she probably should get started as soon as possible.

Zandra placed the choclate on a shelf on the fireplace. Then she turned around aand watched her home that also had worked like her shop that she had called Zandras pharmacy. She cant think off how many players that have entered thru that door to buy crystals and potions from her. Specially a man that now was dead. Ssendom have been here and first placed an order for twenty crystals. That was alot back then and she worked hard to get it done, since all off them was off perfect quality. Then when he had almost used all of them she dropped by again and ordered anpther bunch off twenty crystals. The third and last order he couldnt picck up before he got killed at the latest boss fight, player killed.

But today wouldnt have anything to do with her alchemical skills. No, she would go for a quest, and this time without a single buff. She would use only her skills. But she wasnt that far from hitting fifty, which was her goal to accomplish before they cleared the road to floor twenty. Since fifty is the level you need to be to equip the soon coming tier three gear. But none had it yet, since also the twentieth floor needs to get unlocked and open to access. So today she was gonna do a quest to gain some more of those nice well needed skill points. She turned out the fire by swiping a pressing a few times beside the stonebrick fireplace.

''Zita, time to go on another quest.'' Zandra said and looked up at the ceiling. There on one of the roofbeams, a golden eagle sat with its head under one off the wings. When Zandra talked to her she woke up. She looked down at the human below her. Then she let out a cry to show she have herd. She unflded her wings and flapped them a few times to make them fully mobile after her long sleep. Then Zandra checked thta she had everything she needed. Her whip, her handwrap of accuracy and the dark angel armour. Then she equipped the armour and headed out thru the door. Before she closed the door behind her, the bird darted out and flew high into the air.

[Zandra 0]

Zandra closed and locked the door before tunring around and heading into town, to the warp plaza. She had herd off a trio of new quests that had been released. The eagle flew in circles high above Zandra. And if she would do all off the quest, she get like a dozen extra skill points. This was feeling awesome. She swiped a few times in the air and then a chainwhip pixelated at her hip. Her trusted whip of the warrior, that have been with her thru so many battles. Sometimes she missed her old dagger, claw of the ice-dragon. But she had started to get used to the whip and grew closer to it by each passing day.

[Zandra 0]

Now she had reached the outskirts of Snowfrost town. The main settlement off floor four. And also the place where the telepprtation gate is placed. Zandrabheads straigth towards the gates plaza and into the warp gate. Seconds later she pixelizes again at floor six. She step put off the gate and looks around. Everything looks like last time she was here. A few moments later she saw something that dosent look like last time she was here. One of the tall and proud amazon womens comes running towards the havy armour wielder.

The tall NPC waves her hands towards Zandra while running with large steps."Adventurer! Please help us!" She shouts with a desperate tone in her voice. Zandra starts to walk towards the runner and wheen they meet she feels a hand on the shoulder when the amazon lean against her to catch her breath."What do you need help with?" Zandra asks in a pretty plain voice. She had learned like it dosent matter much if your polite or not towards NPC's. Specially not the quest givers. She looks at the amazon and waits for her tobstart speaking. Zandra didnt thougth these warrior-womens ever got exhausted, but it looks like she was wrong about that.

[Zandra 0]

"Pleas, we need your help." The NPC repeats."Yees?" Zandra answers in a questionable and kind of unpolite tone in her voice."The forest is burning. A large tiger is setting the forest on fire. And even more, its a burning tiger. We have tried to stop it, but we are just not strong enough to bring it down. Many sisters of mine have now met their death in a burning hell. Thou I succeded to escape, to get some help. Please go help them before its to late. I cant follow you, Im way to exhausted. But I'll catch up after Ive got some rest." The female-warrior explained to the noirette. Zandr stood there silently, sucking in every detail, or rather every usful detail.

[Zandra 0]

Zandra nooded."So, all I got to do is take down this overgrown burning cat right? It sounds sinple enough. I better head out to save your sisters rigth away. Right?" She asks the female that nods as an answer and turns around. Walking towards the nearest tavern. So Zandra moves her eyes from the amason to the golden eagle that is resting on her shoulder."Very well Zita. Are you ready to kill a pussy?" She asks the familiar with a smile on her lips. Zandra was almost sure the eagle smiled back at her and then let out a cry in aggrement that echoed thru the trees that soon gonna surrond them. Well, better start going if sshe wanted to be done today.

Zandra stear her steps out in the forest. If this would have been half a year ago, or something like that, she would have been scared to death by now. Well, half a year ago, she would have asked Jomei or Calrex to accompany her. Or maybe Ariel? Ariel is strong to. Manta or Takao would also been an option. And she is not sure, but maybe she would ask Macradon about it. They have done one Zadras harder quests together. The sandshark. As well as killing a non-quest boss-like monster. The elder. Versus that mob Zandra had got one of her attacks. The whole world turned red back then from her point of view and she went mad. Stabbing the boss again and again.

[Zandra 0]

Then when the boss was dead Zandra almost, luckily just almost, attacked Mac. If she had done that... but she thinks she was to weak to harm him in a dangerous way back then. Well, this is not the time to think about old memories. Now she had a tiger to kill and amason-warriors to kill. It wasnt hard to find its tracks. The tiger had made a path thru the forest several meters wide with black burned dow  bambuus. Also, on a few places you could see tall skeletons that probably had got their flesh burnt away from the skeleton. Zandra looked at Zita when they herd a sound up ahead."I guess its time for some fighting now. Fly up and scout, tell me if anyone or thing getting closer. But keep you distance to the flames." Zita cried and went up into the air.

[Zandra 0]

Zandra walked towards the huge toger with a smirk on her lips. The closer she got the faster she moved. It didnt took long before her walking turned into jogging and jogging turned into running. She detached her whip from her hip. She could one-hit it. But whats the fun in that rigth? She went thru her sword arts in her head, her second strongest wouldnt kill it. So she started to charge it up."Hello kitty! Here I am!" She shouted with a huge smile on her lips. She activated her charge skill."Hehe!" And she made a front flip, the chain whip building up momentum and when she landed, it crashed into the ground, creating a shackwave. Zandra watched as four fifths disapeared from its health bar. Seemed like she was to strong for it. Then the tiger countered. One of its paws came flying thru the air from one side. Zandra saw it and held up her arm, making the vambrace mitigation the whole damage except one.

Zandra laughed at the tiger."HAHA! Is that all you can do ey? Its not very impressing is it?" A huge smile on her face. The boss was almost dead and she had bust arrived."Well, Im sorry but Im on a quest to kill you. Dont take it personal 'kay?". She prepared for another attack. Thou this time she didnt activated charge, since its only works once on each enemy. But her damage would probably be enough anyway. She placed her feets so she stood steadily on the ground. Then she charged up her third strongest sword art. She aimed at the head that was one of the tigers vital point. The tiger growled at her and showed its teeths. Zandra ignored it, and when she felt the attack was ready, shw activated it. She swung the whip in a wide half circle. When flew down, it striked the tiger right between the eyes."Hehe." She said when she saw the healthbar turn into zero and the tiger explode int crystals.

So, now the tiger is dead and Zandras quest is complete. She lets out a deep sigh. They realy need to advance quicker. The quests is to easy. Well, maybe its because she is a relatively high level. She a tually starts to catch up to the high leveled ones. Thou she cant count herself as one off those before she hit fifth. That is her main goal. And especially hit fifty before they unlocks floor twenty, she she is gonna be able to wear the highest toer of gear available. She had already started think about how her tier three gear would look like. Her whip would still be a chainwhip, but it would look more like her holy riata then this whip of the warrior.

[Zandra 0]

Then, her armour would probabliy be more fitting to belong to a warrior of the light kind off theme. She would still have heavy armour, thats something that is certain. With full mitigation. That is somethng that is certain. Since someday, she was definitly gonna pick up that stonewall mod. Then she would need a shield as well. But lickily she could get a good quality one so she still had use of her handwrap of accuracy that gave her this nice boost to accuracy. Thou she would probably get a shield with regen as well and start getting some tank abilitys. Oh my god, but for all this she was gonna need tons of skill points.

[Zandra 0]

She had already maxed out her healing abilities, and now she wasnt that far from maxing out damage. Except that surprise attack mod. That wasnt worth it in her opinion. Also, how sneaky can you be with a twenty kilo, probably more, veavy metal armour. She looked down at her current, dark angel aemour. It have served her good, and gonna do for awhile ahead. After theh kill tvis floor boss, there is only two left to floor twenty. Then she remebered. And after that its eigthy left to complete the game. She let out a deep sigh. Thou she couldnt decide of she wanted to clear the game or not.

[Zandra 0]

Since in Aincrad, she had got so, so many friends. And when they complete the game, probably everyone gonna get back to their old friends. And Zandra that only had her friends thru MMO guilds, wouldnt be able to find them again. Since the games probably have gone uninterested as new games, better games, enters the market. And in her, her whip could give her a name. As well as her high ranking in alchemy. After all, she had got the title best alchemist in Aincrad. Since she wasnt that far from maxing it out. Thou lately she had been kinda lazy. Both in crafting as well as material gathering.

[Zandra 0]

Oh my oh my. All her long and boring material agtherings. She had soent so many hours, just farming for materials. Luckily, Ssendom the berserker had entered her shop and placed several large orders and paid for them with large amounts of materials. Which had made it possible for her to keep up her business's and in that way increasing in rank and in that way making better potions. And now she had hitted the second highest rank there is. But to get to that rank, she needed to keep working. She had got a big payment from Ssendom before he passed away, so she was at over a hundred materials and that would last for awhile.

[Zandra 0]

Well, well. She also wanted to hit a vigh player level and get those fancy skills. But then she needed skill points and that is exactly she had earned today. So now she better head back to the town and to her store. After all, she did deserve a cup off hot choclate. Or that is what she tells herself everytime when she has completed a quest and gained some skillpoints. She streatched her arms high in the the air, hearing her spine  crack."Zita! Time to vead back home now." Zandra shouts in the air to get the familiars attention. Then, Zandra starts the joirney back to the amason filled settlement of floor six.

[Zandra 0]

When she reaches the settlement again, she searched up the woman that gave her the quest and tells her she had killed the tiger. The female-warriro thanks Zandra a thousandfold and hands over the reward. Zandra nods and then exits the tavern without a word. She heads to the warp gqte and teleports dow  two floors to floor four. She exits the gate in snowffrost village and heading out to her own store outside the settlement. At first when she enters, she gets shocked. There is alot less items in there then usually. Then she remebrred she had started to move out of the place."Oh right. Well Zita, lets take a cup of hot choclqte before we starts right?" Zandra says to the bird. And the birs nods in agreement.
