Alec was whittling away at the Matriarch Boars hit points, but so was she to his. This was a battle of numbers and currently he had more and loss less when hit. He just needed to increase the number of times he hit versus the number of times he was hit. Alec drew his Battle Axe free and raised it over his shoulder again. He took a deep breath and reset his footing on the soft fresh turned soil beneath him and once he felt its calming effect wash over him he sighted in on the Matriarch Boar and when he had her thoroughly gauged and locked in he brought his Battle Axe down in a swift fluid arc that should allow him to hit her with the blade.

Alec felt his Battle Axe fly true and straight. Its arc brought it to bear in the side of the Matriarch Boar where it sunk into her hide. She left out another squeal of pain and anger at the strike. When Alec pulled the crescent shaped blade free from her it trailed a line of red pixels that were expelled from the open wound in her side. She attempted to lunge at Alec in anger at the wound but missed him and landed just to his left. "Small steps." Alec thought that's what it was small steps to defeat her.

“Small steps.” Alec thought to himself as he pulled his crescent bladed Battle Axe free of the Matriarch Boars hide after scoring his latest hit on her. That’s what it was going to take small steps to reach his goal. With that thought resounding through his mind Alec pulled his Battle Axe free and brought it up in a large circle over his head. After his axe had completed an entire rotation he leaped towards the Matriarch Boar and brought his axe down in a straight forward chopping motions simple moves Alec told himself Keep it Simple Stupid. He thought remembering the old adage from his childhood. As Alec came down towards the Matriarch Boar he brought his Battle Axe down with him in his wake.

As Alec soared down toward the Matriarch Boar he didn't take into account all the furrows he had dug into the ground already with his Battle Axe. Alec's foot landed on a softer than normal patch of ground and his foot sunk in to the ankle causing him to pitch forward awkwardly and land face first in the dirt eating a mouthful of the soft soil. The Matriarch Boar wasted no time on the opportunity given her and she charged in at full speed trampling over Alec with his hard hooves snorting and grunting the whole time.

Alec picked himself up out of the soft fresh turned dirt spitting out mouthfuls of the soft finely ground soil. Pftu, pftu, pftu. Alec spat trying to get the taste from his mouth. Alec looked to the Matriarch Boar and if he didn’t know better he would have sworn he saw that rotten pic smirking at him. “Could a pig even smirk?” Alec pondered. The whole while sure that it had been a smirk he’d seen. Alec lifted his Battle Axe and twirled it in his grip centering the weight of the crescent blades in his grip. Then he hoisted the axe over his head and strode forward towards the Matriarch Boar to exact some vengeance on the creature who was just smirking at him. As Alec drew within range he stopped, planted his feet and brought the axe around in a side arm swipe designed to connect with the ribs of the boar.

Alec brought his Battle Axe around in a low sweeping side arm strike and buried one of his crescent blades into the ribcage of the Matriarch Boar. She squealed in protest and thrashed around as Alec drew his Battle Axe free trailing a stream of red pixels from the newest gash in her side. The Matriarch Boar reared in protest and slammed her tusks into Alec's side scraping off his Breastplate and finally burying them into his side just below his armor. Alec leaked more red pixels from the latest wound and, gritted his teeth as he continued the fight.

Alec felt a wash of elation roll over him. He knew he needed to feel nothing in order to succeed but he had finally knocked the Matriarch Boar down to below half her hit points! He was on the downhill slide! Now if only he could keep his momentum rolling and finish her off he could return to Lyle Tealeaf and complete this quest. Then he had some shopping to do for sure before he started his next quest. A Battle Axe with Accuracy was exactly what Alec needed for questing he’d never make any serious progress if it took him forever to kill a single mob. But that was an issue for later. The present issue was the enraged Matriarch Boar standing in front of him. Alec took a calming breath and raised his Battle Axe above his head and swung it down at the large female boar in front of him.

Alec swung his Battle Axe down in an attempt to hit the Matriarch Boar from the top but as his axe was about to connect the Matriarch Boar lowered her head in an attempt to gain more force and leverage in her gore attack but instead dug one of her tusks into one of the innumerable rents carved into the ground between them by Alec's Battle Axe misses. The boars momentum continued to carrying it forward but its stuck tusk caused its head to stop moving. The end result was the Matriarch Boar ending up in a tumbling turning roll that carried her well past Alec and caused him to miss with his Battel Axe and instead make another large gouge in the dirt in front of him. This whole battle sequence was beginning to become very comical to Alec and he could only imagine how hilarious it would look to any outside passerby.

Having just missed his last swing and again damaging nothing more than the dirt at his feet due to the Matriarch Boar attempting a new strategy of tumbling and somersaulting around in front of him to distract him. Alec again pulled his Battle Axe from out of the dirt and brushed it off as the Matriarch Boar righted herself and shook here head from side to side to clear it from the jarring set of twists and turns she had just been subjected to. Alec looked at the Matriarch Boar and asked in all sincerity “Are you ready?” she didn’t respond of course but instead shook her head one more time pawed at the dirt and charged. Alec hoisted his Battle Axe like a baseball bat and prepared to receive her charge. As she neared Alec stepped forward with his leading foot, twisted at the hips and brought the Battle Axe around to meet the charging boar.

As Alec stepped forward to plant his foot he again forgot to account for the soft soil and many divots and rents caused by his numerous misses with his Battle Axe. As his foot set down on the ground in didn't find a firm purchase and instead caused his leading foot to twist on his heel sending him into a wild spin that left him performing an uncontrolled ungainly pirouette. That ended with Alec being deposited on his rear end sitting in the dirt again as the Matriarch Boar soared toward him at break neck speed. The Matriarch Boar connected squarely with Alec in the center of his Breastplate and sent a ripple of vibrations coursing through his body with the impact. The collision was so traumatic and jarring that it sent Alec tumbling over backward to land prone on his back several feet away.

Alec opened his eyes after the jolting tumble he had just taken. His chest ached from the impact of the Matriarch Boar and his ankle throbbed from where he had turned it. All in all it had to have been a spectacular sight to behold. Alec spinning like a top flopping on to the ground then being railroaded by an over sized wild pig. Alec shook his head ruefully to clear the cobwebs as he stood up and brushed even more dust and dirt off himself. Thankfully there was no laundry here otherwise he’d have to spend all tomorrow just trying to get the grass stains out. Alec eyed the Matriarch Boar with a new found level of respect and admiration. “Ok.” Alec said to the boar “I see. Lets get serious then shall we.” With that Alec rolled his neck in a circle causing it to pop and crack numerous times. He rolled his shoulders forward and shook out his arms. He raised his Battle Axe high and let out a war cry as he charged at the Matriarch Boar charged with the righteous conviction of intended victory.

Alec's righteous conviction must have only been gas because has he swung his Battle Axe at the Matriarch Boar he let out a large burp which rumbled his chest and shook his arm causing his swing to falter and fly just over the Matriarch Boars body. "Oh my!" thought Alec. "That was a good one! Wow, now I'm hungry." The Matriarch Boar however was not impressed as she barreled on towards Alec and drove her body full force into Alec chest. Luckily she struck him square in the middle of his Breastplate where he had the most protection. The boars impact resounded like a gong being struck and forced Alec to take a staggering step backward to regain his footing and balance. Alec braced himself and prepared for another pass.

Alec staggered back a step at the sheer force of the impact from the Matriarch Boar. She had collided squarely into him like a wrecking ball. “What an impact!” Alec thought to himself with a smile inside. He could get used to this. Alec swung his axe a few times below his waist like a pendulum to loosen up his shoulder. It was beginning to get tired from all the swinging he’d been doing. No sign of his inward enjoyment was evident on his stony stoic face. Once his arm felt loose and limber again he drew the Battle Axe up over his head and took two swift steps toward the Matriarch Boar and brought his axe down in a mighty swing aiming for her left shoulder.

Alec's swing went high again and sailed over the shoulders of the Matriarch Boar as she lowered her head and shoulders for more speed. If Alec thought her last charge had some power behind it, it had nothing on this one. The Matriarch Boar slammed its body into Alec square in the middle of his chest. All the air was driven from Alec's chest and lungs by the impact. He was forced to exhale violently with a resounding "HHHAAAARRRRRROOOUUUUUFFFFFFFF!!!" and staggered back a few steps while attempting to maintain his balance. His life bar dipped another point as he looked up shaking his head slowly.

Alec gasped for breath as he staggered about holding his chest and uselessly gasping for air. He regained his footing and stood feet spread apart and forced himself to slow down and take long slow breaths to reinflate his lungs. It took him several moments till he was able to breath normally again. Getting the wind knocked out of you was never fun he thought to himself. Once he regained his breath he moved his gaze to the Matriarch Boar and eyed her up and down. "Fair enough." Alec thought as he twisted his Battle Axe in his grip spinning it in his palm. Then he burst into a sprint towards the Matriarch Boar his Battle Axe raised above his head. Alec dashed forward and skidded to a stop as he came within range of the Matriarch Boar he swung his Battle Axe forward towards the charging Boar.

As Alec skidded to a stop he swung his Battle Axe around and connected squarely with the Matriarch Boar's chest. Her momentum coupled with his left to a devastating blow that sunk his crescent shaped blade nearly to the hilt. As Alec tore it free he was rewarded with a gigantic fountain of red pixels spraying from the wound. The Boar was not to be denied however as she thrust he head forward and up, her tusks scraping off his armor and finally finding a patch of unprotected skin on his arm that she tore a gash in leaking out red pixels as well. Alec was elated to see her health bar dip and change color from yellow to red.

Alec's last strike had been perfect! The right angle, the right speed the right timing. Perfect and his Battle Axe had bitten deep into the Matriarch Boar. She was in the red now. Down below a third of her health. Alec was bearing the end of the Battle but he had to be careful. "Don't get cocky kid." he barked at himself and chuckled remembering another old movie from back home. He had to stay focused, had to make sure to not get ahead of himself. One thing at a time, one step at a time, get another hit one at a time that's how he'd win this fight. Alec took a breath of air to settle and calm himself. Then he raised his Battle Axe into the air and cocked it in preparation to strike. When he felt ready and prepared he stepped forward towards his for and swung his axe down in a fluid motion aiming for the charging Boar again.

Again Alec swung his Battle Axe and again he missed it. The Matriarch Boar however did not miss again. She had delivered another crushing blow to his Breastplate. This Boar hit like a Mack truck Alec thought to himself. She kept smashing into him and rattling him like an old pea inside a tin can bring shaken furiously. Amazingly his armor showed no damage from her relentless assaults. She just kept throwing herself at him. Alec had to image his torso looked horrible right now with massive bruising and innumerable cuts around the edges of where his armor covered. Alec let it all wash away in a cool calming breath. He hoisted his axe on high again and swing in downwards intent on striking the Boar square on the back.

Alec had landed another swing on the Boar he was whittling away her life points slowly towards zero another good solid hit or two should do her in for good Alec thought to himself. He knew he had enough hit points it was just the tediousness of the whole thing. It felt like he had spent an eternity locked in mortal combat with the Boar Pups and then their freight train of a mother. Keep at it Alec he told himself and he swallowed another breath of cool refreshing calming air. Alec again brought his Battle Axe high to achieve maximum momentum for his strike. Upon attaining the highest elevation he could with the axe he dropped his hip and swung the Battle Axe down at the Boar with every once of determination he could dredge up.

Alec felt the fight creeping towards a close the Matriarch Boar's movements were beginning to slow and become sluggish. He had lost too many hit points and was waning in the last of her hit points. Alec could finish this with one two good solid shots. Alec heaved an expectant breath of air and savored its freshness. He hefted his Battle Axe in his hand feeling it's wright and balance. He shifted his feet for maximum balance and footing. He raised his Battle Axe high over head and swung it down in a downward chop designed to decapitate the Matriarch Boar.

Alec's last attack nearly decapitated the Matriarch Boar. "But close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades." Alec thought to himself. One more Hit that's all he needed. One more successful strike and this fight would be over. Alec repositioned his feet for maximum balance. Alec took a long derp inhale through his nose, held the breath for a long moment then slowly exhaled out his mouth to focus himself. He lifted his Battle Axe into the air and twisted the shaft in his hands for a better grip on the weapon. Then when he felt ready and centered. He swung his Battle Axe down throwing his weight behind the swing for "maximum effort" as his axe fell towards the Matriarch Boar.

Alec swung for all he was worth. Apperantly he had put too much behind the swing because his strike missed the Matriarch Boar and sank the crescent shaped blade of the Battle Axe deeply into the soft fresh turned soil of the battle field. As Alec again wrenched his blade from the ground the Boar charged in and slammed its body into Alec sharp tusks scraping off metal armored till they found purchase in the exposed skin of Alec's arm. The tusks drug across it and opened a slice in his flesh which expelled red pixels of life force and caused Alec's Hit point bar to drop again by one.

Again Alec swung at the Boar and again he had missed and instead used his Battle Axe to turn the soil of the ground he fought on. The Earth was very soft and dug up here from all the times Alec had missed and driven his Battle Axe blade into the ground. Alec yanked his axe free of the dirt and knocked off the lingering grass clumps by smacking the flat edge of the  axe against his boot  to dislodge the  clumps of grass that had attached themselves to the blade. Upon cleaning his axe Alec eyed it up and down skeptically before turning it over in his hand to inspect it for damage. Finding none he shifted his grip on it. Then he took a few breaths to calm down before he tried attacking again. Once completed he took a step forward towards the Boar and swung his Battle Axe from his shoulder where it had been resting in a tight arc aimed at the boars muscled side.

Alec's tight arced swing was too tight and came up short if the charging Boar. The Battle Axe skipped and sparked across the ground as it dug a long furrow in the dirt between himself and the Boar. The Boar raced in behind the swinging Axe and slammed tusks first into Alec's chest and Breastplate. Again the impact left Alec's chest sore and bruised. Alec was beginning to wonder if he would ever be able to score the last hit he needed to end this fight. His future in that regard was looking bleak.

After digging yet another patch of dirt from the ground Alec brought his Battle Axe back up into the air. All he had to do was connect one more time to finish the fight but that was seeming to be an impossibility for Alec. Everytime he came close he slammed the blade of his axe into to ground and turned over more soil. "This'll spot had to have the softest finest section in all one hundred levels of Aincrad!" Alec thought to himself amused at the irony of the whole situation. If this was a real axe he was swinging it would need hours on a grinding wheel to resharpen the edges he'd repeatedly buried in the dirt and in the real world dirt was the enemy of a good axe. But this wasn't the real world it was a computer game he and a thousand others were trapped inside of so dirt didn't hurt as the old adage went. Alec sighed as he lifted his axe again and reset his feet again and as the Boar came closer he swung it again.

"Finally Alec had done it. Alec had defeated the Boar Pups and gotten the Boar Pup Tusk quest item drops he'd needed, then finally bested the angry Matriarch Boar mother. Now that Alec had finally bested them all he could return to Lyle Tealeaf at his Blacksmith shop and complete his quest. It had been an epic series of battles for Alec. Someone watching from the outside may have considered it more of a comedy but Alec was proud of himself for finally defeating this challenge. As Alec hung his Battle Axe from the loop on his belt a banner popped up in his field of vision. Alec tapped it to activate it. 

Alec tapped the loot window for the Matriarch Boar and his jaw nearly hit the ground when he saw all the times dropped by the Matriarch Boar. There was a good chunk of gold, 2 Tier 1 Materials, a jar with a liquid in it labeled Animal Musk which said it would aid in training a familiar and a golf ball sized green gem stone labeled a Luck Stone that said it would give a better chance of loot dropping. All in all Alec felt it was a pretty good haul.

Pocketing his new Col and items in his inventory Alec smiled and turned towards the walls of the Town of Beginnings and the Northern Gate that would lead him inside and to the Blacksmith shop of Lyle Tealeaf and the end of his quest. With a smile and a soft low whistle Alec began to stride towards the Northern Gate at a leisurely pace. He had completed his quest and he was in no serious hurry now to make it in. Alec discovered a lightness in his step that hadn't been there before. He even found himself whistling as he made his way through the plains outside the Northern Gate and wall. The weather really was quite nice. The sun was warm the breeze was cool all in all Alec was forced to admit that it was a pretty perfect day.

Alec passed through the Northern Gate of the Town of Beginnings and as he entered the Town he swiped his had in front of him to open his inventory window. Alec then tapped the icons for his Reinforced Heavy Iron Breastplate and his one hand Battle Axe unequipping both items. Alec wasn't fond of walking around inside the Town walls with his armor and weapons equiped. He preferred to walk around in his chosen outfit. His worn heavy leather boots, his brown pants and his Bear pelt wrap that draped over his shoulders. Feeling more comfortable now he entered the throng of people moving up and down the street. Alec checked his map HUD to ensure he was heading in the right direction toward Lyle Tealeaf's Blacksmith shop. Alec navigated the bustling streets till he stood outside the front of the same Blacksmith shop he had entered this morning to receive his quest. Alec took a breath and then stepped into the Blacksmith shop owned and operated by Lyle Tealeaf.

As Alec stepped into the Blacksmith shop he spotted Lyle Tealeaf sitting behind the counter. "Greetings Mr Tealeaf." Alec said as he stepped in through the front of the shop. "How is your day?"

Lyle Tealeaf responded "Hopefully well as you have returned I should hope you have gathered the three Boar Pup Tusks I require to complete my crafting project I am currently engaged in."

"Indeed I have." replied Alec with a smile. I have secured the Tier one Materials you require so that you may finish your project good sir."

"Oh thank the stars." Lyle Tealeaf exclaimed as a broad grin spread across his face "Thank you so much for your assistance."

Alec walked over and opened up his inventory and selected the Boar Pup Tusks and three of them materialized on the counter between them.

"These are perfect." said Lyle Tealeaf as he picked them up and inspected them.

"Thank you do much." gushed Lyle Tealeaf. "You have saved my project and ensured that I will not be set back and loose all the time and effort I have invested in this project already."

Please accept this gift as a token of my appreciation for all that you have done. Lyle opened up a window and on the bench between them appeared a one hand Battle Axe with a sharper than average blade and a set of heavy armor that reinforced but not nearly as much as the Breastplate Alec had in his inventory a potion also appeared on the counter and it's label said it was a Potion of Safeguard (only usable on Tutorial Quest Three. Alec eyed the two items but ended up selecting the sharper than normal Battle Axe. "Thank you very much Mr Tealeaf." Alec responded after chosing his prize. "I'm glad to have been of service to you."

"Wonderful wonderful." replies Lyle. "I have but one more task to ask of you." Lyle announced. "Please take this package to a young artist name Hannah. She can be found within one of the groves of trees here inside the Town of Beginnings." With that Lyle handed Alec a wrapped bundle and bid him ado. Alec took the package and placed it within his inventory and stepped outside the Blacksmith shop.
