<<FLOOR 1>> Wandering Starlight

[Cascade 0]

Three months had passed since the games launch, her imprisonment, her mentors death, and the end of what she knew as every day life. Clientele would come looking, people that had yet to pay would get away with no fee, the squirrel she used to feed would stop visiting, she couldn't feel, see, smell, or taste right, everything was numb. Above all else, a rotting corpse lay on the other side of what she knew as 'home.' She'd bumped into players as the days passed. Some seemed infatuated with her simply because of how she looked, some called her the Starlit Wanderer due to her lack of introduction. People around floor one knew of her, but didn't take time to actually know her. She spent her time wallowing in the death of Kersh. She put a smile on for all she passed, but her eyes showed her brokenness. Her beautiful, darkened, soulless eyes. There were times she just hid away for days on end. What was the point? She had no friends, no parents, no lover, she was alone. The weight was crushing. Cascade looked up at the lake she had been napping by. It was beautiful, this was something she could find meaning in. The beauty of what lay around her. It wasn't real, she knew, but it made no difference. Her gaze softened. There were times she could escape the gloom that shrouded her. Times like these where everything seemed at peace. A singular moment she could fool herself that everything was okay. The moment passed, she sighed and gave a smile. Maybe someday ill make it out.

She steadied herself and stood. It was time to head into town. She needed to do something. Talk to someone, do, see, hear, feel, be anything other than what she was now. Her feet moved one after another, phantom stepping her way to the village. Each step felt tiresome, but she continued. 

The town came into sight, she entered glancing around aimlessly. The usual NPCs waved to her. The man outside the tavern hit on her for the 70th time. She watched as the NPC from the cafe tripped and fell routinely. A memory flashed. Shed seen an unusual girl catch the NPC one day a few months back. She had beautiful jet black hair. She hadnt seen her since. Cascade assumed the girl hadnt realized it was an NPC at the time and caught her out of decency, hope shes doing alright. She brushed away the thought and kept forward. Finally she reached the middle of the town. She stood face to face with that blasted portal. The one that mocked her day in and out. The one that tempted her to just die by a strong enemies hand. The portal that brought PKs and highly ranked officials. Everything it stood for mocked her. She scoffed and sat at a nearby bench. A shadow cast down upon her, she looked up to meet the eyes of a stranger. The man was tall, he had blonde hair, Grey eyes, shard features, a seemingly strong body. From his apparel she guessed he was a blacksmith. His aura gave, 'self assured.' 

did you need something? She asked cheerfully, a sweet smile crossing her lips. 

The moment she spoke seemed to shatter his confidence. He scratched at the back of his head nervously.Ive seen you around here before and I was wondering if you were interested in going on a date possibly?

Her smile stayed, her head tilted as she responded. You're very kind but I think it would be in your best interest to pursue someone else. Her mind raged, why on earth would you want to pursue me? There are more important things, not to mention prettier girls. Its always, go on a date with me, youre hot girl, wow look at her, she must have had a blessed life back home looking like that; never whats your name? How are you today? Etc. To her everyone seemed lovely in their own ways, but their were also those who seemed lifeless and shallow. None of them....not one, had any light.
