[SP-PT-F26] Icarus Fallen

[Morningstar 0]

He flickered to life.

Smoke plumed high into the air, dark and wispy. On-lookers gathered round, worried eyes and parted lips on every face he could see. Everything ached.

He remembered the ship coming apart, fire and explosions all around, and then the fall. It should have killed him, but the last minute activation of a Blessing of the Wood shieled him just enough to stop his health bar from hitting zero.

It couldn't stop the rest of the damage, though. How the system planned on rebuilding Ladonia, Morningstar couldn't fathom. The ship had ripped to pieces in the sky, leaving everything to fall back down upon the city. Buildings were crushed beneath the weight of singed metal. Injured civilians were receiving treatment in areas cleared of debris. Smoke plumed high.

The escape pod had stayed intact despite the wreckage. He had watched it arc below the clouds and then vanish from his field of view. That was the last time he saw Nari-Lanreth. She wasn't dead--at least, he didn't think so--only inactive. A ghost. A memory.

Frontliners came and went, he learned. The raid party of today looked entirely different than the group that first stepped onto Floor 2. And by Floor 50, it would change again. Players left, and those who didn't eventually died. They had seen it a million times before. Invincible players fell the hardest.

Smoke plumed high.

His vision faltered, hazy, unable to make out any of the faces around him. His ears rang. His head hurt. He shut his eyes to escape the ache.

 

He reawoke some place else. A gentle breeze tugged him to consciousness, and everything was clear again. He drifted through an overcast sky on a skiff he didn't recognize. There was no one else aboard, players or otherwise. It was quiet--peaceful even. A low rumble came from the engine, but he was far from the busyness of the city now and the hilly outskirts of Floor 26 were largely uninhabited. He looked over the ship's edge. At such a large distance it remained enormous. Ladonia spanned the majority of the floor. Seeing from one side to the other was probably impossible. The skiff coasted as high as it could, which wasn't an impressive height. If he leaped from it, Morningstar was sure he would survive the fall, even without the assistance of consumables.

He didn't seriously consider jumping. The mountains drew near, and he wanted to know where exactly the game was taking him. Besides, he had fallen enough for one lifetime.

The mountains were not as they seemed. At the peak of one in particular, Morningstar glimpsed a pair of cloaked figures working--carrying boxes, or something of the sort, downstairs. The base was well camouflaged. He didn't think he would have noticed it if the ship was taking him straight to it. It drove low, parking next to an unattended slope. He expected it to leave as he dismounted, but the skiff continued to float there, engine running. Where ever they were, the system expected him to come back alive.

The slope, he discovered, led to directly into a dormitory. There was a large, dirty bed in the corner, stained in yellow, and a desk at the opposite end of the room. The entire room was a mess, really. Food, weapons, clothing--everything was strung out on the floor. Something dark and damp grew on the walls. Morningstar was not overly curious about the room; frankly, he would have liked to avoid it if possible. Tragically, it seemed the only way inside was through.
