[SP:F1] Zandra realises the truth Completed


Recommended Posts

Zandra was strolling in the streets of town of beginning. Today she didn’t had any real plans, all of her friends had answered that they where busy or couldn’t do something today. The sun was shining and it would be a shame to went back to bed that she thougth a second to do. But she was in need of new equipment. So she decided to head to the shop district. In her few adventures she had done this far she have had a feeling she was weak. Even her most powerful attacks didn’t dealt that much damage. And her clothing didn’t gave mush protection versus violent blows. She could as well run around naked.

Zandra looked down at her boots that reach almost all the way up to her knees, her cloth pants. And last a simple T-shirt. At least she could decide the colour when she equipped them for the first time. The tunic was dark-blue, like those huge waves of the sea back in the real world. Dark-grey pants and classic leather-brown boots. She took out her dagger just to look at it. She giggled when seeing it. A simple hilt with a blade about 2 feet. It wasn’t well balanced either.

What should she start with? A better armour to withstand more blows, or a dagger to actually hurt the enemy when she made a successful hit on them? Eventually she would be able to afford both, but now she had to choose. She exchanged the dagger with the guide-book written by the beta-testers and updated by the frontliners. She saw a bench outside a shop and sat down on it. She wanted to see if there was any quest that would reward her with something she needed. Most of the quests was to hard for her to do solo. And everyone was busy. Would she ask a random player somewhere. She looked up and down the road. It was players of all different levels. She saw a boy with as useless equipment as herself, she also saw a girl with full plate silver armour that had gold inscription forming the picture of a stag. On her back she had a huge two-handed sword that looked like it could chop down a tree in one hit. And everything in between.

. She went back to the book. Then she saw the quest that was more for her level of players. When she looked at the description <<Secret Medicine>> it was gonna bring her back to the forest she had built up a hatred. Well, the only equipment-reward was a one-handed staraight sword so it wouldn’t be of any use anyway. There was several others that she hadn’t looked at yet. But she closed her book and continued her strolling.

Now she started to get real bored, she had already explored the whole town a couple of times. Walked every single street and talked to every NPC. Suddenly she wasn’t walking at a street anymore. The houses on the sides had disappeared. Her steps had taken her to the plaza, the plaza where everyone spawned the first day, the plaza where they got the news that this was gonna be a death game. She fell down on her knees. ‘’WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US?!!’’ she cried out while raising her hads towards the sky where they have seen the cloaked man. She waited but didn’t got any answer. She hadn’t expected it either. She only herd her echo fading out.

Zandras arms losed their strength and hang, lifeless, attached to her shoulder. She just sat there and stared into the blue. This was the first time tears started rolling down her cheeks after she entered this virtual world. ‘’What? Why am I crying? Wasn’t this all my dreams come true?'' She hitted her head in the stonefloor when falling forward and to the side. She laid there for several hours. If anyone saw her they would think she was dead. No, because if youre dead, you disappear. What would they say if they saw her laying on the ground like a cry-baby.

 She laid there so long time so the sun had disappeared behind the houses and darkness has fell over the city. She decided to pull it together and continue with her life. If this even was a life. To begin with she stood up. If anyone would have passed by they would see a woman standing on the plaza and it would look like she was carrying a ton of problems on her shoulder.

. Zandra started to walk back to where she come from, barely lifting her feets above the ground. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. This was first time she needed to concentrate to walk forward since she learned to walk like 20 years ago or so. When she reached the border of the plaza she stopped. She turned around to the plaza.’’F*** YOU  AKIHIKO!!!’’she screamed towards where the cloaked man had appeared. Then she turned back and headed back to the market.

She walked to her portable lab and opened it to hopefully be able to sell something. She also tried to make a crystal but couldn’t concentrated so she gave up after five minutes. There was some that actually was planning to buy some potions, but when they saw her angry expression they turned around to look for someone else. She didn’t knew why but she couldn’t calm down. Now when she realised the truth she felt such an anger.

Since she couldn’t make anything and didn’t got any customers she packed the lab and hided it in the shadows again. With angry steps she headed for the gate. Anyone that saw her coming stepped to the side to make way. If someone was to slow Zandra forcefully just pushed them away. Some asked her if something was wrong, other said she would stop and apologize. She ignored all of them. When she reached the gate she didn’t stopped, she just continued out in night.

The darkness had fell now but it was a cloudfree night tonight ao she had plenty of moonlight. She saw a field with four boars. They all saw her and rushed towards her at the same time. She pulled out her dagger, flipped over the first one, dodge to the side and cutted a deep wound on the second ones side. It exploded in hundreds of whiteblue pixels.

. This made her stop for one moment too long, the third one tackled her and the fourth trampled right over her. It shouldn’t have done that because Zandra pushed the dagger blade pointing upwards and ripped up the boars stomach. Now half of them was dead. She raised and turned around, a crazy smile on her face.’’Hehe, come at me piggies.’’she said to the remaining boars.

Both came charging side-by-side. Only one meter away deom Zandra she took a small step to the side, her right leg behind the left and pressed her foot into the ground. She held the dagger pointing forward. The boar didn’t realized what she was doing until it was too late. The dagger got pressed deep inside the boars head and it was only of them left now.

Zandra turned around for the second time. But when Zandra was busy killing his friend it had turned around and started running towards her. Just when Zandra turned around the boar had reached its destination and tackled her ten meters away.’’So you want a tackle-competition. You think I can only kill you if using this blade. Hehe.’’Zndra unsheated her dagger and placed her left foot behind the right. They started running towards each other at the same time. When they was face to face she dodged to the side while gripping one of its tusks in her right hand.

With her momentum she swung up into the air and 'rided' the boar. When she sat there she pressed her knees into the boars sides. Then she grabbed the other tusk with her free hand. With a hard grip she, inch by inch pulled its head upwards.''Look at the sky piggy.'' she said to the boar with the face of a psycopath.

 There was a loud SNAP when the boars neck broke and it fell down on the ground, exploded in hundreds pixels. She suddenly felt something wet and warm on her arm. When she looked she saw it was blood. She bent her arm and started to taste it while both beeing very happy.''Why am I happy? I killed these boars cold-heartly and I liked to kill them. Please dont say Im on way on turning into a monster.''

She had never known that blood tastes so good. She wondered how blood-juice would taste. Never mind. This slaughter had made her cool down. The rage she had felt before had eased. She was still angry, but now she could control it. She cleaned her dagger and unsheathed it. Noy until now she felt how fresh the night-air was, and it was so quiet. Not like in the day when the sun made the air a little thick, and you could always hear players, boars or wolfs screaming.

She thought it would be even fresher if she got higher up. She looked around and saw a hill not too far away. She started walking there. This time be on her guard so she wouldn’t engage any boars or wolfs. She had also herd rumors about a bear being spotted here somewhere. She successfully reached the top without meeting any wild animals. At the top the wind was much stronger.

She had to lean forward a little bit to not fall and her eyes got tearful to prevent it from drying from the wind. Her long black hair fluttered behind her. The air was so fresh up here, well probably its just some coding that make her feel and think that it is. But she didn’t cared about why the air was fresh right now. She just stood there, feeling the cold wind blowing in her face.

She closed her eyes.’’I wish I could stand here until I die. The wind slowly changed direction and it blew on her right side instead. Now the hair was all over her face. She used her hand to brush it back while she turned around to keep feeling the wind. She didn’t knew if it would continue every night, or this was the only one. She saw a big rock that she climbed and sat down, with her legs crossed like when you meditate.
