[PT-PP-F04] Firelight

[Mari 1]

“I’m…so tired…” 

Her boots dragged in the snow, leaving deep footprints behind her. It didn’t matter. She was safe, and the oncoming storm that night would wash away her tracks with a fresh layer. Mari lifted an arm to rub her shoulder as she rolled it back. It was sore, her whole back was. Mari let out a yawn, pausing to glance at the treeline by her house, noticing movement. An errant pack of wolves, perhaps.  The woman shifted direction to head toward it, with her arm outstretched she’d summon her halberd, the axe glimmering with the faint glow of heat as embers danced off its blade.

Mari’s home…a stone cottage a good half hour away from Snowfrost village, nestled away in a forest of birch trees, and sitting against one of the many frozen lakes that scattered the 4th floor. It was so easy to get lost on this floor, but it was one of the reasons Mari had her home here. The chance to be disturbed few and far between.

Most of the time Mari was left well enough alone, but once every other week or so…she had to clear out the mobs around her house. To keep it safe. The last thing she needed was a pack of wolves fighting over scraps of meat in the dead of night, waking her up.

Out here… it was quiet, peaceful - and in the twilit amber glow of the setting sun, the snowy floor was almost comforting. Almost. It didn’t beat a warm fire. It didn’t beat the embrace of her husband nestled against her at night. Still..

She supposed she’d make quick work of this pack, and return home.

Lots of snow. Reminded her of home. 

The setting sun brought with it a near ethereal glow as twilight began to cover the land,  a foreboding storm on the opposite horizon shadowing the fading light and leaving a warning for things to come. Yet what was that saying? The quiet before the storm? And it was quiet, for now. 

A maiden with hair nearly as white as the snow around her crouched near the trunk of a large pine tree, intently staring at something near its base. Aeva had only been awake for a short time now, trying her best to get back into the feel of her old body. Yet things were still off. Her movements were slow and cautious, though with every one of them she felt delayed. As if her body was still reacting to her brain’s commands at a later rate. Perhaps a lingering effect of her.. unfortunate absence. However, thanks to the efforts of the Red Healer, she was at least assured that these effects were temporary. She’d get her rhythm back soon; she just needed to keep her body moving. And to take her medicine. 

The medicine didn’t taste very good.

The girl’s brows furrowed as if she could sense the bitterness just by thinking about it, but she remained focused on her current task, looking at something with renewed intent. She had come out here for a walk, after leaving the floor’s main town and looking for places to explore! It had been a rather beautiful day for the most part, and Aeva needed to take her mind off things. What was better than a nature walk? She loved hiking in the real world, so why would it be any different in the digital world? For a time, Aeva’s plan was working, getting to see the floor in all its splendour and becoming distracted by its artificial beauty as she walked beneath the pines. It was so quiet and serene within the pale groves, and the golden glow of twilight only enhanced this factor. For a time, Aeva was beginning to forget she was in a game at all. And in her temporary moment of peace, she saw something she did not expect beneath a massive tree. 

Everything was almost perfect, and then she remembered. 

Before she could even register what was happening, an echoing howl erupted from the darkening forest, and Aeva’s ruby gaze turned in horror to see a large pack of rabid-looking wolves stalking the trees around her. No good, she was surrounded! In her bliss, had they snuck up on her? Barking and growling filled the woods, and Aeva began to tremble in fear, her eyes glued to the digital red glare of the approaching mobs. The only thing she could do now was turn her back toward the pack and keep her body covering the base of the trunk. If she couldn’t protect herself, she’d try and protect it at least.

[Mari 1]

Following the sounds of breaking twigs and the low growls of an errant pack of wolves Mari shifted quietly into the treeline. She didn’t like fighting in the densely packed birch forests. It didn’t allow her a lot of movement. Then, there it was. Four of them, but their attention was elsewhere.

“What the-”

Mari saw the woman, hair blending into the snow, crouched by a tree trunk. Completely oblivious to the snarling and snapping happening around her. Is she fucking daft?

A sprint forward, Mari unceremoniously pushed the woman aside, just in time. A wolves jaw came snapping down just where she was seconds ago. Mari’s weapon cleaved right into the wolves underbelly, and it exploded in a reign of fire and ash. Then, a low swing and her blade arc’d upwards to catch the underbellies of its companions as they leapt at Mari, a weak attempt to catch her off guard.

"You gotta be more careful." Mari chastised, as she turned to check on the silver haired woman. Embers rained down around her, little flecks of fire and ash the only remnants of the wolf pack that had been so ready to eat the other.

Mari paused, seeing her sprawled out in the snow. Her limbs seemed to shake, and she moved as though her entire body was heavy. “You…” Mari sighed as she opened up her inventory and tossed a heavy blanket at her, believing the woman was simply too cold to move around properly. “I take it you don’t have the survival skill…” Mari mumbled as she dropped her weapon. It clattered soundlessly into the snow. Then Mari knelt down and began to brush the snow off the womans shoulders. Despite her abrasive tone Mari’s actions were calm, cautious. Gentle. Almost like a mother doting on her daughter.

“What were you trying to do?” Mari asked, a little exasperated. Then a lift of her eyes to shift over the fields. Silence, they were safe. At least from the wolves.

“I’m Mari. By the way.”
