After a while in being in SAO more bosses we’re only going to be discovered in a amount of time… however, recently a group of information brokers hired some explorers to check out a mysterious castle that had appeared on floor 10, on arrival they couldn’t get in no matter how hard they tried… not even Aincrad’s best Scout could get in. And on the door there are 9 crystal slots, which presumably you needed 9 specific gems to get in, then miraculously they had found a dragon protecting an emerald in the plains of floor 1, it was said that the dragon hatched not too long ago and no matter what they tried they couldn’t get the Emerald from the dragon. They ask of you for help, maybe collecting all 9 will meet in grand fortune?

Alec once again found himself walking amidst the over crowded streets of the First Floor's Town of Beginnings. For as hard as he tried to get away from here and for as much as he REALLY disliked this town he absently wondered to himself why in the world would he keep ending up here then?!? He couldn't stand this place with its over crowding and contact push of people. But Alec had found that when he let his feet carry him they usually took him to some place he was needed, so Alec walked the streets of the Town of Beginnings with no real purpose or destination allowing his mind to wander and his feet to go where they would. Before long he glanced up from his pondering and ruminations to see he stood before the door of the Inn he used to to rent a room from when he was stuck on this floor. Alec shrugged and reached out his hand and turned the door knob opening the door and allowing him to look inside the common room.

Alec stepped into the Inn's common room with his friend and companion Humphrey by his side. His booted feet making heavy hollow thuds as he walked across the common room with Humphrey padding along softly beside him. Alec passed through the common room to the bar where he saddled up to the bar and had a seat on one of the wooden stools there. As he eased his large frame down on the sturdy wooden stool it groaned in protest as his weight settled on to it. As Alec took his seat he looked over to the Innkeeper and ordered a drink. As he sat back sipping his drink he looked around the room wondering why his feet had brought him here. The room looked the same as it always had with the same faces he always remembered from his time here. As he looked around the room he heard a low conversation coming from a table nearby. Alec leaned closer to hear what he could.

[Alec 0]

Alec leaned to the side to attempt to hear what the group at the table near him was talking about. It seemed that a new castle with no windows and doors was found on the Tenth Floor. No one had been able to find any way into the building as if yet. All in all that had nothing to do with Alec at this time. Their conversation shifted however and Alec heard them begin talking about how a new mob had been found in a field of the grasslands here on the First Floor. It seemed this new monster was an Emerald Green Draconic Hatchling. That peaked Alec's interest and made him lean closer to try and hear what they were saying better. It seemed that the Dragon Hatchling could be found just flying around in this grassy field. Alec cocked an eyebrow as he sat back up and looked over at his friend and companion Humphrey. "So pal. Feel like going looking for a Dragon Hatchling to fight?"Alec asked the bear cub. Humphrey responded with a loud growl of affirmation as he looked up at Alec.

[Alec 0]

Alec smiled down at his one true friend and travelling companion Humphrey. As he growled his ascent to searching for the Emerald Dragon Hatchling that was supposedly occupying one of the fields in the grasslands of the First Floor. As soon as Humphrey acknowledge his approval a chime sounded in Alec's ear which he had begun to know very well causing him to smile just as a virtual banner appeared in his vision. <<Accept Quest Dragon Hunter Anthology - Dragon Hunt 1 - Emerald Hatchling>> with a green <<Accept>> button below it and a red <<Deny>> button next to the first. Alec reached out and tapped the green accept button and was rewarded with another triumphant chime as the banner disappeared and a red dot popped up on his map overlay showing the location of the Emerald Hatchling's spawn point. Alec looked down to Humphrey and smiled again as he began to speak in his deep baritone rumble. "Well my friend looks like we've just taken our first step towards becoming Dragon Hunters."

[Alec 0]

With that Alec upended the last of his drink in a few large gulps and placed the mug back on the counter and flexing his tree trunk like legs as he stood up. As his massive weight shifted on the wooden stool it gave another groan of protest. Alec glanced down at Humphrey and gave him a single nod as he began to walk across the common room floor his booted feet echoing heavily off the hard wood floor as he crossed the room to the door. He reached out his large hand and wrapped it around the door handle turning the knob and pulling the door wide to peer outside at the sunny over crowded street outside. With a deep breath Alec stepped outside and plunged himself into the tumult of pedestrian traffic flowing through the streets of the Town of Beginnings making his way for the Northern Gate and grasslands if the First Floor with thoughts of a Dragon Hatchling on his mind.

[Alec 0]

Alec stepped out if the Inn and stepped into the crowded streets of the Town of Beginnings. He took a moment to turn his head from left to right surveying the mass and press of bodies that flowed through the street like some strange type of river. Alec perpetual scowl settled on his face as he observed the sheer number if people stepping off and joining the press of bodies as it flowed along the street. A natural bubble opened around him as the "people" subconsciously shied away from his over large physical form. Alec made his way through the streets on his way to the Northern Gate and the freedom of the wild lands beyond. After what felt like an eternity surrounded by the mass of people Alec and Humphrey finally made it to the courtyard within the Northern Gate where Alec stopped and stood taking several deep calming breaths to ease his nerves and the pure frustration that swelled within hum when he was presented with this damnable town and all it's people.

[Alec 0]

As Alec entered the courtyard he stopped and took a few calming breaths. He didn't like all the people here the press was too much too many people not enough space it was all just too much. Alec quickly reached out his hand index finger extended and performed a quick downward swipe to open his inventory. As he scrolled through the growing list if items within it he nodded to himself. He'd really need to get some of these items identified from a Merchant but it was seeming really hard to get in contact with one these days. Alec just shrugged as he stopped his scrolling and reached out his finger to tap the icon for his Heavy Armor. Alec's fingers touched the icon and his shoulders began to shimmer and waver as his Adamantine Pauldron appeared there. The shoulder guards were of an ultra dense metal that once forged had turned to a dark green color that was often mistaken for black without a close up thorough inspection.

[Alec 0]

Alec continued to scroll through his items listed within his inventory till he found the next item he was looking for. Alec reached out and touched the image for his Shield of the Thunderhearts and touched the image watching as the air around his arm began to shimmer and waver forming into his shield. The shield was made from a white metal with a beveled edge and had an engraving on the front that was of a very cool lightning symbol. As his eyes traced the shield they were inevitably drawn to you the inside where an inscription had been engraved there and as every time he saw it he read the inscription softly under his breath. "When the tide rises, become the storm!" Alec intoned fiercely under his breath. He wasn't sure why but every time he read the inscription an overwhelming sense if purpose over took him and bolstered his resolve.

[Alec 0]

Alec continued scrolling through his inventory looking over all the items inside it till he came to the item he was looking for. Alec stopped when he found his Mithril Battle Axe and reached out touching the picture with his index finger. As he touched the picture the air near his hand began to shimmer and waver as if a heat mirage. Finally coalescing into his one handed Battle Axe. Alec turned the weapon over in his hand letting his eyes traced the elegant lines and smooth curves of the weapon. The ore it was made of was extremely shiny appearing as mercury or quicksilver. The weapon was a thing if beauty and could easily be hung in a museum as a piece if art even though it had been crafted to kill and kill it did because if it's materials light construction it was extremely agile and lightweight while retaining a razor sharp edge that never dulled it required sharpening. Aleve took the Mithril Battle Axe and slid it into the loop at his hip hanging it from his belt as he turned back to his inventory to peruse the items inside.

[Alec 0]

Finally Alec scrolled through the list of items within his inventory stopping when he came to the items for his Battle Ready Items slots he mulled the decision over in his mind for several moments before making his decision. He hadn't needed them yet but better safe than sorry was always the way he leaned so Alec reached out his index finger and touched the icon for his Tier 1 Healing Potions and selected two for his first Battle Ready slot then after a shot deliberation he touched it again and assigned two more to the second Battle Ready Item slot. Feeling confident in the amount of healing potions plus Humphrey he began to look for other items to assign to the three remaining slots available. He quickly reached out and tapped the picture for the Immolation Potion and assigned it to slot three that had been invaluable during his fight with the Easter Event Boss he thought yo himself with a smile which quickly turned to a frown as he noticed he only had one left. That meant he'd have to visit Dagger or another Merchant again soon to buy a grip more when you tried to get hit things that returned damage were amazing he thought yo himself. His finger hovered over the icon for s damage potion but decided against it. He had done done good damage with Sword Arts but they had been to erratic and not stable enough to count on so Alec quickly hit the button to lock in his choices and closed his inventory his gaze drifting over to the grasslands beyond the Main Gate.

[Alec 0]

Alec walked through the Main Gate with his friend and companion Humphrey walking softly by his side the pair left the Town of Beginnings and made their way into the grasslands of the First Floor. The duo continued North passing through the bright sunlit prairie headed North towards the small blip on Alec's map overlay. As Alec walked beside Humphrey he began to poke and search through the tall grass of the prairie seeing if he could find anything if value hidden amidst the tall grasses surrounding him. Just when was about to give up his search he spotted a large hole in the side of one of the gentle rises in the ground. Alec knelt down next to it and peered inside the shaded hole. As Alec stuck his head into the hole he thought he spotted something that resembled a large box but upon further inspection it turned out to be nothing at all.

Alec continued his walk through the grasslands on his way towards the small blip on his map which marked where the Emerald Dragon Hatchling should be waiting at. As he walked along Alec began to poke around in the ground thinking he might be able to find a Material or something kidding in the tall grasses of the prairie. After poking around for a while Alec eventually gave up and began walking along again with a shrug to his companion Humphrey he said "I swear I saw something back there but it must have just been a mirage pal. It's weird how your eyes and mind can play tricks on you like that. Oh well on to bigger and better things I guess." Alec rumbled in his deep baritone voice as he reached out and scratched his friend and companion in the back of the neck and behind his ears as the pair walked along together through the tall grasses of the First Floors prairie.

Alec let a quick smile play across his features as he pocketed the Col and new items into his inventory before his perpetual scowl reasserted itself as the dominant emotional expression on his face. Alec continued along with his friend and faithful companion Humphrey plodding along silently at his side. The pair continued through the grasslands enjoying the sun that shone down brightly upon them from the open sky above. The sun was warm and the breeze was soft and cooling to the skin as it blew gently from the North East carrying a faint tint of fresh water smell from the lakes beyond the list slung hills standing in that direction. The pair continued on eventually reaching the edge of the forest and plunging within its shaded cool depths. Alec's skin instantly pimpled from the drastic change in temperature from the hot sunlit grasslands to the cool shaded forest depths.

[Alec 0]

Alec continued his walk through the First Floor with his best friend and trusted companion Humphrey by his side. The pair made their way through the shaded forest enjoying its cool temperature and dim lighting. It was a welcome change from the brightly lit sunny grasslands they had previously been walking through. Alec kept a wary eye out and his ears perked listening for any stray sights it sounds that would signal an approaching beast. Not that he had much to fear from any creatures on this Floor. He remembered back back to the not so distant past when fighting monsters on this floor had been more dangerous. How this changed Alec thought to himself as he walked along occasionally glancing back to endure Humphrey was still with him and knowing each time he glanced that he would be there before he even looked. The sight of his companion offered him strength and self assuredness of just purpose.

[Alec 0]

Alec glanced behind him as we walked through the forest catching sight of his friend and travelling companion Humphrey padding along softly behind him, Humphrey's large head swinging side to side as he walked through the the cool shaded forest if the First Floor. The sight if the American Black Bear cub made Alec smile. The sight of his companion always bolstered his will and strengthened his resolve when he saw the bear cub by his side. He had sworn to defend the bear cub and the bear cub had promised to help support and keep him alive. Humphrey was a missing piece of him he hadn't realized he was missing until it had been filled by the bear cub. Alec took a deep breath of the forest scents and caught the smells of pine needles and sap, he smelled the rich scent of peat moss and he smelled the rich earthy smell of the dirt covering the ground. It could almost be relaxing if it weren't all fake and pretty facade for the virtual prison they were all trapped in here in Aincrad.

[Alec 0]

Alec ceased his mental wandering and snapped back to the here and now as he suddenly stepped from the forest to the edge of a small clearing about 20 feet across. The clearing had cone out of nowhere and obviously wasn't natural as he'd seen no signs of it prior to his finding the edge. The clearing was sunny but not overly so as if it were partially cloudy or overcast. Alec peered into the clearing and spotted a rustling in the center when suddenly a small green lizard like creature with vibrant green leathery wings flapped into the air screeching an ear splitting noise that felt like ice picks being driven into his ears and brain causing Alec to stop and cringe from the high pitched sound. Alec reached down and pulled his Mithril Battle Axe free of the loop at his hip and hefted the axe in preparation of the fight to come as he stepped out of the forest and into the clearing squaring off with the small green Draconic Hatchling. Slowly Alec progressed step by step as the small green lizard glared daggers at him and continued its intense high pitch screaching.

As Alec stepped into the green haze tinted clearing a rustling in the center of the clearing caught his attention. As he looked to identify the cause a small green lizard burst into the air with green leathery wings. The small lizard began issuing a piercing screech that dug into Alec's ears and head like a hot ice pick. Alec gritted his teeth and winced as he entered the clearing and drew in the energy to power a Sword Art as he began to run across the field at the screeching flapping Draconic Hatchling.

Alec called to the energy to power a Sword Art and it flowed through him and directly into his Mithril Battle Axe causing it to begin to glow. As the power increased inside the mirror finished Battle Axe the weapon began to glow brighter. Once the energy peaked and the axe could hold no more Alec brought his Mithril Battle Axe up from behind him and lobbed it end over end at the Draconic Hatchling. The axe soared flipping end over end through the air to slam into the flapping lizard where it open a cut that let loose a stream of green pixels. This dragon had tough scales Alec thought as his axe returned and he caught it in mid air bringing his shield up to block the dragons attack. Rhaegal swooped in and latched onto Alec's shoulder with its razor sharp teeth over the top if Alec's shield as it flapped in place. As it bit down Alec shoved his shield forward and grinned fiercely ad it began to hum then SNAP it arced out shocking the dragon with a stored of charge of static electricity causing it to release Alec's shoulder and flap away.

Alex called on the energy for a Sword Art and flung his Mithril Battle Axe at the Draconic Hatchling that flapped in the center of the field issuing an ear splitting screech. As his mirror finished axe tumbled end over end through the air it struck the Emerald Hatchling and sank into its scaly hide. The young dragon's scales were exceptionally hard as the axe did not sink anywhere as derp as it should have. As the ace came tumbling back to Alec through the air he raised his shield as the dragon swooped at him. Its elongated neck reached over the top edge of Alec's shield and sank deeply into his shoulder. As its razor sharp teeth sank into his flesh he pushed his shield forward and was rewarded with beginning to hum the SNAP as it expelled a stored up charge of static electricity into the dragon. Alec brought his axe back up I've his shoulder and raised his shield to peer over the top lip is the Emerald Dragon Hatchling swooped back at him again.

As Rhaegal swept back in at Alec he drew his Mithril Battle Axe back and over his shoulder swinging down at the Draconic Hatchling as it darted in at him. Rhaegal was too agile though and dove out of the way darting its head forward and sinking its teeth into Alec's side tearing away a chunk if flesh that released red pixels into the air. As the dragon bit down Alec shoved his shield against it again as was rewarded with a hum that built to a SNAP as it shocked the small dragon. Rhaegal flapped away and let out a screech far louder and higher pitched than before. Alec doubled over clutching his ears as the ear splitting screech became deafening and unbearable.

Alec brought his Mithril Battle Axe up over his shoulder and swung down at the Draconic Hatchling as it dove towards him. The small dragon was extremely agile however and managed to dodge out of the way if Alec's axe swing. It swooped forward and stretched out its neck sinking its razor like teeth into Alec's side tearing his side open and releasing a stream of red pixels. Alec grunted in pain and pressed his shield into the dragon and grinned fiercely ad it began to hum then SNAP as it arced and sent a jolt of electricity into the small dragon. Rhaegal wheeled away and let out and ear piercing screech that caused Alec to double over grabbing at his ears as the intense sound dug into his brain freezing him in place.

Alec stood doubled over clutching his ears in excruciating pain as the Dragon screeched at an ear splitting decibel. As Alec stood frozen Rhaegal swooped in snapping at Alec but missed him as it sped by. As the ringing in Alec's ears subsided he shook his head to clear and residual fuzziness that clung there as he raised his shield before him and brought his Mithril Battle Axe up over his shoulder ready to swing again.

Alec stood doubled over clutching his in excruciating pain from the ear splitting ringing rocking his brain from the Dragon Hatchling's screech. As he stood bent over rocking Rhaegal swooped but miss judged its attack and missed Alec flapping past and around him. As the ringing diminished in his ears Alec stood up shaking his head to clear the last of the cob webs clinging within his head. As he regained control he brought his shield back up in front of him to protect against the Draconic Hatchling's teeth as it flapped around. As it swooped back in at Aleve he brought his Mithril Battle Axe up over his shoulder and readied himself to swing when the Hatchling came into range.

Alec was still feeling the effects of Rhaegal's screech because as he swing his equilibrium shifted and he stumbled feeling a mild case of vertigo that caused him to topple over and fall to the ground in a pile beneath the Emerald Dragon Hatchling. Rhaegal was caught by surprise as Alec toppled over and fell to the ground as it swooped in to attack flying over Alec's prone form snapping its jaws in futility. As it flapped away it let out another screech causing Alec to curl up into a ball clutching his head as it pounded and throbbed in unthinkable pain.
