[PP|F21] <<The Hidden Village>> A Crossroad of Fates


Recommended Posts

<<The Hidden Village>>

This happened to be the first day that Chase realised just how few quests were left for him to take on before he was done with every single one. His biggest obstacle would be the ones with the hatchlings, but regardless... He stepped out of his house and took a breath of deep air, resting his hand on his sword hoisted by the side of his waist. "This... must be the second quest I've done on this floor. It's nice, not having to rush to the teleporter for once and instead just wandering about the same floor as my house.", he thought to himself, starting to head towards the caves.

Apparently, there was this 'hidden village' he had to find. Not following down the same path as the one he had with Mari for the drakelings, but instead down a separate one. The tunnel was much larger and wider this time, although he couldn't quite see all the way to the ceiling to be aware of what critters would be lurking around there. "And I'm supposed to make my way in how far? It's hidden and all, but... are there even any tips or ways to get there we know of?", he nagged in the back of his head and sighed out, ready to get started. Until he heard somebody from behind him, turning and moving a hand quickly to grip his broken blade.

A softened glance to a boy in blue, one he recalled only from passing alone. "Chase was it? you won't be needing that." Raidou quipped with a twitch of his glasses on his nose. Tomoika was no stranger to him on another of his routine trips to the floor. It was rather precarious to see another here, for it was not a road traveled often. The place stunk and was toxic in some places. Combine that with the dim lighting, the entities that creeped through the halls and the sheer lack of activity it was not ideal. He'd look to his own menu unwavered and not wishing to provide the male with any sort of resistance. He more than likely had some reason for being on this floor as did he, and a distraction was surely not what it was. The board burns alight as Raidou begins to scroll through the listings to get the sense of what he was after. The same as he had always: greasing the wheel and keeping the gears moving ever forward.

Hearing his name was one reason to get upset and prepare to clash, but upon seeing the little symbol right over his health bar, he calmed down. "... Firm Anima. He must have seen my name on that stupid list as an affiliate and heard of me from someone else. Tch.", he silently let go of his blade and looked back ahead the cave, opening up his menu and inviting Raidou to a party before he gave a shrug.

670529570_ChaseDBPDefault.png.8fcdd5919ef24f013c201884d4b5482b.png"It's rude to creep on others like that. Who told you about me either way? Was it Katoka? Or Elora?", he asked somewhat curiously with an eye cocked up, letting out a deep sigh and starting to head down the cave. He didn't want to waste any more time chitchatting with just another one of Firm Anima's probably problematic members, knowing fully well the Village wouldn't be any easier to find if he just sat around and wasted more time. "You should at least introduce yourself. Especially around a floor like this one.", he continued quietly, finding no reason to say his own name to the man since he appeared to know already. What a curious ally he was... Hopefully not as unsavory as the rest he'd come across so far.

The menu continues to scan through a list of what still needed his intervention. Scrolling through his menu loosely simply playing the part of a bystander when Chase began to speak to him directly, in his voice was a taste of aggression. That emotion he was all too familiar with, and it would not bother him in the slightest if anything it was welcomed. "Neither, You bought a potion from my shop after being guided there by Simmone." Raidou responded truthfully with a rather plain demeanor painted on his face as the menu slams shut. "Pardon my creeping, turns out in my travels without another has quickened my steps, and drained them of sound. It was not my intention I assure you. Raidou Kuzunoha." he remarked rather loosely to the man, he wanted an answer and Raidou was not one to withhold them from. "What brings you to the floor?" he remarked with a sense of aid creeping in, ever present which made detours more probable.

And right off the bat, Chase began to feel uncomfortable. Not so much with Raidou, as he did with himself. He completely forgot and in all of his suspicion, he almost assaulted Raidou, having completely forgotten about his visit to the store. And to add insult to injury, he was even sharing his actual name in full. A stupid and rushed conclusion Chase had drawn that was more than just 'wrong'.

900101970_ChaseDBPGuiltySilent.png.bbd2fe607e76a1b0beea29aa0cf972d7.png"... I remember. I apologise.", he grunted under his own breath with a much less tense voice and more composed manner. In the meantime, he continued to walk, although he was certain that he could hear something lurking about- was it around them? Or was it something from below, rumbling and preparing to jump up to attack. "Chase Cressfield. I live here. There's a quest to find a Hidden Village, so I thought to take it. Sorry for before again. I'm just on... bad terms with some people.", he admitted almost in defeat, huffing and resting his hand on his blade once more. Not for Raidou, but more so the eerie feeling that monsters would creep up on the two anytime. And he only felt more certain in his choice after what sounded like a muffled cry, and a rock falling somewhere near them. Something was approaching, from... above?!

With the same placid and unmoved expression riddled on his brow, Raidou looked to Chase "A pleasure, and no apology is necessary. I am used to it, but I appreciate the sentiment." he spoke as a rattle and scatter from the coves above. They were not alone... and a trigger of detection racked the cave. Four cursors in red became instantly clear upon his HUD. Like a conductor, Raidou hastily targets the boy and fires off a party invite as his other reached for his sword behind his right shoulder. A tinge of red began to build in fumes around his feet. "Hostiles. Four, prepare yourself."

Ripping Auric Sol from its scabbard in a brilliant flash of yellow, he draws a glowing stone down the length of the blade forcing light bright enough to reveal a parading mass of humanoids clung to spires from above. A sudden impact into the roof causes it to rattle and shake for a moment, dropping like flies all but one they were blindsided by a hasted swing from the swordsman in red.

When they dropped, now that the two were finally in a party, Chase took a deep breath and rushed right towards them. Surprisingly enough, he held the blade with one hand, although that wouldn't come off as too much of a surprise. He raised his hand into the air, landing a punch in one of the bats to keep it in the air a while longer with his free hand. However, he failed and instead knocked it out of his range without dealing much damage. Whatever.

He now brought his own blade down, feeling something surge inside of him. White wisps appeared all around him, but quickly dissipated into a thin mist that began to glide over to the broken part of his blade. His eyes widened as he felt it getting heavier and heavier, a solid and bright white replacing the broken part. It was now a full sword, and much heavier than his previous, radiating a light bright enough to light the cave.

With little time to waste, he moved his other hand to it and heaved, slashing down the other enemies left near him. The light became blinding for a moment, but by the time his attack was over, the blade had disappeared to his surprise, with a white electrical current running through the stone part of his blade and slowly fizzling it with a low 'tzzt'. "Was that the enhancement I'd been waiting to use all this time? My damage almost doubled..."

A magnificent light played upon the other player's weapon, a destroyed blade kindled back into a fully formed albeit almost ethereal weapon. A blow from Chase shredded away quite a fair portion of their HP, an ode to his potential. A single target scattering to the wind narrowly escaping the reaping paid, Raidou's gold bastard sword would join him. The blindside had bought the distraction and allowed preparations as planned. What remained was to clean up the aftermath.

Following in chain with Chase's attack, sliding through the remaining white wisps at surprising speed amplified by every modifier to his sprint making it blinding. The one the blue-haired player was long outside the range, but the others were hardly so lucky. With precision, Raidou racked the very wounds painted upon them prior, deepening them with one decisive swipe in a horizontal sweep. A crescent on yellow appears and fades, as his posture shifts quickly from offensive to defensive. The bulwark was raised.

As soon as one blow was delivered from Chase, another one followed right up from Raidou. With a small smile on his face from all of the adrenaline, the bluehead braced himself before running back into the group of monsters with his hand held up to the side. And before he knew it, the blade got heavier again, demanding Chase's strength from both hands. Of course, he did as it requested and the blinding light returned. And there, with another bright flash, the sound of slashing came.

By the time the bright light had dissipated again, his strike hit three of the monsters and left them down with a white lightning coursing through their bodies, making it hard for them to even muster the courage and try to move about. Though, the blade's other half had disappeared by the time that the last bat would be hit, letting it run off of Chase and jump right to Raidou, slashing at him maniacally. It managed to deal a bit of damage, but... it was honestly beyond negligible. "This sword is so strong, the hell made it awaken now?!"

Raidou recovers 81 via Battle Healing, Concentration [1/3]

A feeling of overpowering those that stood against them was unending and despite a clip of claws Raidou rebuttals with a swing of his own. The first struck bat creature had yet to return to the fray, curious where it had flown off to? Perhaps it was still colliding with objects in the distance. While the nomad in red aimed for defense and holding out, Chase continued to pound away large sections of what health these things had.

So much so that when Raidou retaliated with one of his own riposte it seemed to detonate some latent energy still trapped within its stature. It fizzles and fades as a white glow consumes its body, scattering in digital ash. Two standing, one missing, and both were weak beyond rapid movement. They pant and struggle, eager to deal something before they were laid to rest but the players they faced off against would not allow them the pleasure. They had already lost.

And as soon as it went flying away, Chase followed right up with another lunge towards the decreasing number of monsters ahead of the two. He gripped his sword tightly and let out a wide swipe, feeling his blade getting heavier once more. Whatever was up with his sword that it began to go berserk now rather than every other fight, he didn't know. That wasn't to say he didn't appreciate it though, using the extra help to get some more damage on one of the bats.

However, along with the blinding flash came a jab and tear from one of the two cave bats that managed to survive his tough blow. And with a bit of damage taken, he was knocked off balance and back down onto the ground, groaning and feeling rather dizzy. That nauseating wavy effect took over his vision once more, leaving him unable to get back on his feet with ease. "F-Fuck sake..."

Raidou recovers 81 via Battle Healing, Concentration [2/3]

Watching a pair of paralytic weapons rake into Chase set something off within the nomad, and as the guy staggered Raidou broke the distance implanting the broadsword into the culprit and ripping up into a spray. He'd lean down and what appeared in his hand was a small white disk like a tablet. "Bite down on this, it will cut the stasis in half." he passed it into the guy's hand, a pair of frenzied claws screamed in behind his exposed flank.

"If you'll excuse me." he spoke as they raked his back, his own health recovery outpacing the damage dealt as he simply took it. Leaving Chase parked to handle the negative ailment, Raidou backhands the creature with his left before rather aggressively shoving the blade through its torso by grabbing its shoulder and pulling it into the burning hot sword. All the wounds left by the other player had made this all the easier, aiming for a worn cut and using the exposed gash to finish the job.

The paralysis had done its job, and before he knew it he was being asked to bite into what seemed like anything but food... A groan and a crunch from Chase, as he felt the ailment lifted from him, allowing him to start seeing properly again. He would throw up just because of the motion sickness this was giving him, but thankfully it stopped. For god's sake.

602086831_ChaseDBPGuiltySilent.png.cfa0beee0240bcdb3ba95ae6906869fb.png"... Thanks. You didn't have to do that, it'd wear off any moment now...", he grumbled to Raidou and got back onto his feet, hearing somebody still crying out into the distance. Some hostage from the hidden village it was, being guarded by the cave bats- if Chase knew that, he'd have figured out why they were so intent on killing the duo up to now. "Hey, I think someone's there.", he grunted and stumbled a bit, taking a sweet moment to regain his balance in full and snap out of it with no sword to lean on. It was an odd sensation, for once.

Raidou recovers 45 HP via Survival, Concentration refreshed!

His wounds closing up the rest of the way despite how furious the thing had dug into him just a moment prior, his healing factor was on overdrive. "It helps me more often than it should." Raidou speaks rather loosely, knowing it wasn't necessary but they were easy enough to reproduce to warrant clipping away issues. He knew not if they would see more activity and the guy was more than ample in combat, he should have the right to defend himself and would not rob him when he had the solution.

The sounds within the distance a beckoned howling, was it tears or simply outcry. It was hard to decern if it was through sorrow or hatred, but it was audible the same. Moving only a tad bit ahead to get a greater purview, it would not be until Chase had back all his faculty that Raidou would risk a greater distancing.

Watching just how careful Raidou was being did bother him a bit. They had just beaten four of those things clean, the risk of any more appearing were completely countered by the pummelling they'd receive with no second thought. Once he was well on his feet and with his head back in the game, he began to walk towards Raidou and stepped past him, cocking an eyebrow upwards.

1636450032_ChaseDBPDefault.png.cca0835a80865f89562a0ced0d17bf1c.png"The bats have been dealt with. You can come out.", he called out, to receive no response but followed cries. With a growl under his voice, he angrily walked further inside and eventually, into his field of view came another man. With tattered clothes and some light injuries, he looked up to the bluehead with tears all over his face and a scared beyond belief expression. "... We killed the monsters. You're free.", he told him with a heavy sigh, scratching the back of his head as he sheathed his broken blade by his side once more. "Y-You mean I can head back to the village?", the lost man asked, moved to hear this. But the verbage did certainly get Chase's attention. "You don't mean the Hidden Village, do you?". And thankfully, his question was met with a nod. "Could you take us there? We don't want any other rewards.", the socially inept swordsman requested, and once more, a nod followed. Although one with distrust more so than gratefulness or any form of positivity.

A ragged looking fellow took point, Raidou remained silent eager to see how this would proceed and gave ChaseR point of handling the tattered male. He knew not the circumstances of what this pertained, looking through the light and keeping detection pulsing feverously on his HUD for anything else that should arrive. Always ebbing on the side of caution, this would be his eyes in the back of his head should he need them.

Beating down a long winding path that bent and twist, Raidou kept up the rear of the three. A few broken down buildings are hidden between spire of stones began to become more commonplace around them, a few even seemingly carved out of the stone they were adjacent to. Of these, a couple held lights in chiseled windows, as faces started to look at them all in awe.

It became instantly apparent with each step into this small settlement, that the players were in fact a rare sight. They were not used to seeing one of 'those' types within the walls of Charko

As soon as Chase arrived to the village alongside Raidou, the no longer hostage turned to face them with a face filled with distrust. "Please, I ask of you that you don't tell anybody of this village... I agreed to bring you here because you saved my life, however, if the Tyrant- no, Tesseleth is still out there, we'll be in grave danger the moment he learns of the village's whereabouts!"

59787637_ChaseDBPDefaultUncertain.png.a55a9d0a92991cfcf42cecc5672c1107.pngThis had to be a joke in poor taste, right..? "... I wasn't planning on telling anybody that runs their mouth. What about you, Raidou?", he simply responded and turned to the side, giving him a rather uncertain look. While he was part of Firm Anima and they were definitely the most unreasonable bunch that he had met up to now, he couldn't deny that red's actions had been nothing short of logical so far in their little adventure. Now though, coming to a close, he'd see what the man truly had in mind. Would he choose to keep the village safe, or endanger it for some better 'goods'? "... Let's see if Firm Anima is full of people like Freyd or not."

Looking at the male as he spoke to ChaseR, a female NPC in red hair bumps into him while his attentions were shifted. Dropping a basket of some sort of mushrooms that scatter upon the stonework. He kneels down while she stands above him horrified at what he might do, picking up the basket and folding it straight before collecting it back into the container. Sheepishly and hesitantly she joins him after a few jarring seconds.

"I had no plans to, no. The more eyes on this place the more likely it is to be tapped and drained..." Spoken as he lifted the object and passing it into her hands, being more comfortable with NPC than regular people. "Even more so if you claim some wrathful entity would destroy you for the thought. Tomoika does well enough on its own without your discovery, they need not your riches along with their own. My only worry is should these things come back..." he fiddled with his glasses for a moment in thought. "Do you have any means of defending yourselves if this should happen again?"

A sigh of relief followed from Chase. He wasn't really expecting him to betray these people that seemed to put their trust in him, but then again he was Firm Anima so the bluehead was inclined to believe he might have made the wrong choice. A common theme with all of them really. Upon hearing the question though, he wasn't sure if red was getting too much into his role or if he was genuinely worried. Probably the latter judging by his answer just now, but the NPC didn't take it nearly as suspiciously as that. If anything, he seemed more at ease now than he did before.

"We... No, they don't ever step inside of our town though. It's as if it's being protected, or feared, for better or for worse... I went out to get some materials so that we could make weapons to defend ourselves in the case of an attack like that, but they caught me before I could return. Thankfully, the materials are still on me... I'll deliver them to the blacksmith, if you don't mind, but... Truly, thank you, both of you. For your help and keeping our secret." 

Well then. Chase just looked to the side at Raidou and let out a grumble, unsure what to do or say now. All he could really do was just thank him. For the company, the help, everything. "... This is it then. Thanks for tagging along. They sound to be safe, for now."

The woman offers him a bow but it was clear she was still nervous about the exchange. Scratching the back of his head for a moment before giving her the same response. "Then it would be best if you kept those kinds of journeys to a minimum." Raidou remarked with a soft sigh. They needed supplies, which was understandable but this was hardly the sort of place to be wandering about undefended. 

As the man left, Raidou removed his lenses and wiped them on his robe. "I sure hope so, I would be lying to you if I said I was fully convinced." spoken as he re-applied them to his brow. "It was no issue, glad to be of assistance Chase. If you ever need a hand, you'll know where to reach me." he offered as Chase took his leave, Raidou made a note of the place in his black book. They needed a solution, one that would not put them in danger whenever they needed resources. A simple one was that he was already on this floor every day, so checking in on them when he finished up would be a trifle addition to his agenda.
