"We just got into this cave no more than five minutes, Bishop" Eurifacles responded. "Would it kill you to have some patience? You are the only one out of the 6 of us that have complained this entire journey." "You may want to correct yourself there, Eurif" Bishop responded snidely. "Would you two try to keep cool heads. We just got here and who knows what the hell we are going to find here" Mariska retorted, obviously irritated. "Whats there to worry about. Have you seen our company" Regigous laughed. "We have a high ranking member of the Crimson Blades here, as well as the leader of Midnight Solace. Not to mention my brute strength. We've tackled things way worse than this." "We may have many accolades, but that doesn't mean we should get soft" Polaris chimed in. "I agree with Polaris" i said to the crowd. "We may have killed things worse than what we think are in this cave, but in reality, we need to keep our guard up." 'Yeah, whatever. The thing i'm concerned about is why Regi didn't mention my guild. The Iron Warhorse too spooky for you Regi?" Bishop said "The thing you really should be concerned with is me putting you through a wall" Eurifacles called back to Bishop. Murifacy chuckled I jolted up from my sleep in a hot sweat. "I'm never going to be able to forget, am i" i said into nothingness. My companion, Khepri, must have sensed my unrest, because he began brushing against my arm. I looked out the window of my shop. It was the dead of night. I knew that sleep was now pointless. I got up out of my bed and put on my robes and grabbed my rapier. Khepri made his way up my arm. I walked out the door into the night...

Abalasster 0 Posted November 14, 2015 Author #2 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Night was arguably my least favorite time of day. This was because it was so damn reminiscent of that hellish cave. I took a deep breath and ran through the Town of Beginnings into the fields. I could see no one in the streets. But, there was this feeling in the back of my mind. I felt as if i was being watched. Sure, I've been watched before. My old friend Koumori had mad a run in with a hooded man multiple times, but it didn't feel like that. This, entity, seemed to be watching me from all angles. I made it out of the town and into the plains of the first floor. I drew my rapier to combat what lie in the fields. I then spotted a group of boars. One was obviously bigger than the others. I charged towards these monsters. After what had just happened, i needed to kill something... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

I sat down and leaned against the behemoth. I stared up into the night sky. It was one of the most breath taking sights. It felt as if I was back home, in the real world, sitting down against a tree, looking into the night sky. But, in the blink of an eye, everything changed, an I was thrust into what seemed like an alternate reality... "It would appear as if this is it" Eurifracles said, knocking on the iron door that lay ahead of them "Thank the heavens" Bishop said, exhaling. He drew his sword and got ready for what lay behind the door. Polaris walked up behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder "My friend, you need to go slowly through this" Polaris began. "Who the hell knows what the hell is behind that door" "Well, whatever it is, its nothing I can't handle" Regigous said with a smirk across his face as he drew his mace and shield. Abalasster drew his rapier and got into his defensive position. Mariska drew her long sword and walked to the front of the group. "Ladies, Gentlemen, Bishop. We have made it to our destination. But, this doesn't yet mean that we should get joyous. I want everyone in position. Regigous and I will take the front. Abalasster, Eurifacles and Bishop, you three are behind us. Polaris and Murifacy, you two flank the enemy. If enemies come directly out of this door, which I'm certain they will, we need to be ready". Bishop nudged Abalasster. "Hey" he began. "Whats going on with you? Before this, you had this diplomatic kind of swagger. But now you seem to be more serious than Eurif.?" "Something about this place offsets me..."

"What the absolute hell was that" I proclaimed into the open wilderness. I didn't care if anyone heard me. What I experienced wasn't just a vision, but a memory. It shared my similarities to the first one that I experienced this night. But, my time for trying to rationalize what had just happened ended rather abruptly. I looked up to see what appeared to be 3 grass warriors running at me. I jumped back up to my feet and unsheathed my rapier. I ran at the grass warriors, hoping that I could get the first strike...

I then focused for the one in the middle, he put up more resistance, but I could tell that these warriors were ones who preferred to attack rather than defend. I was able to get both the center on and the left one with ease. I then repeated the process in reverse. I left them all reeling. I readied my rapier in the defensive position.

"One down" I said aloud. I raised my rapier to strike the next one. This monster and I traded hits with the sword, but it ended up slipping after an attack, and I thrust my blade into its abdomen. That only left one left. The last monster had no expression on its face. I expected as much from such a being. I stuck him, and staggered it back. I then thrust my rapier into its left knee.

As the 5 warriors fought against the ever growing enemy, Polaris and Murifacy flanked the enemy to start a battle on two fronts "Spears!" Regigous shouted A storm of spears came at the 5 warriors "Splits" Bishop exclaimed Most of the warriors were able to avoid the spears, except for one "I'm hit" Regigous exclaimed in pain, with a spear lodged in his knee Polaris and Murifacy got behind the enemy and began to unleash havoc "Abalasster, stay with Regigous and make sure he doesn't get hurt anymore, the rest of you guys, on me" Mariska proclaimed, charging the enemy Within the next few minutes, the army had been defeated, but the group had suffered a serious casualty "This thing isn't coming out" Abalasster told the group "It has to" Murifacy said with panic in her voice "If we take it out, his leg is as good as gone" Abalasster said gravely The group stood around Regigous in silence.

Mariska said as she got into Eurifracles's face "Well then what do you suppose we do with him then? Carry him? Alright fine! Abalasster you get his feet, i'll get his upper body. If worse comes to worst we'll use him as a f*cking battering ram!" Eurifracles spat back at Mariska. "Eurif" I said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You need to calm down, this isn't helping anyone" I was at this time that Regigous placed his hand on Mariska's leg, trying to get her attention "Mariska" he said faintly "Mariska...you all are going to have to go without me. It'll be okay. I understand. I'm just putting the group in danger" "No Regi" Mariska began, near the point of sobbing. "We can find a way to save you, I know we can. Just please hold in there" "Mariska..." Regi spoke, even fainter this time. "Let me go, And stop crying, you got to look good in front of the others" He finished his statement with a smile. Mariska knelt down next to him on the brink of tears. Polaris and Murifacy Bishop, I and Eurifracles stood together, pondering what our next move should be. "Are you sure you want to leave Regi" Bishop asked "Positive" Eurif remarked. "We can't afford to be diverting resources to carry him throughout. It will just result in more peopled killed" I sighed at this. I knew Eurif was right. If we carried him then more of us would die. And who's to say that Regi will even be alive much longer. "Then what's our next move" I asked "Mariska isn't in a position to lead right now, so I'm taking over" Eurif dictated. He then began moving towards the way that the army of skeleton warriors had ambushed them. He then turned back and looked to the rest of the group. "Come on, lets get moving" he said. Bishop was the first to start moving, followed by Murifacy and Polaris. I however, went over to Mariska to comfort her. "Mariska," I began. Its going to be okay. We'll get through this. But if we don't move then all of us will die here" Regi then joined in "You both need to go. Don't worry about me. Just keep treading forwards" I helped Mariska get up and move towards the same way that the rest of the group had moved... I abruptly awoke from my sleep on the grass and looked around at my surroundings. I was alone and it was daytime now. I got up slowly from the ground, and as I did, my head ached severely. I then realized it had been a rather long time since I had eaten. I opened my inventory and pulled out some bread and water, and had my first meal in at least 3 days...

Abalasster 0 Posted May 7, 2017 Author #12 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 The bread, in retrospect, wasn't the most satisfying thing in the world. However, in the moment, it was one of the most divine things that I have ever had. It felt so good to eat again. It had been far too long since he had taken a bit of anything. I finished up the bread quite swiftly. Once finished, I picked myself up off the ground and looked out over the horizon. The Sun was in peak position and the day was young. I don't recall why I did this, but I just ran. I ran as far as my legs could take me. I was aware that there were certain dangers around me but at this point I just was carefree. I wasn't thinking whether a monster would leap out and attack me or whether or not some vile thing would pounce from out of nowhere. No, the only thing I was thinking about was running. And it was blissful. I ran so far and for so long. What only felt like a minutes run ended up being an hour. And when I finished, I was a good distance away from the town of beginnings. I eventually grew tired of running and sat down on the ground. I took a deep breath and settled in. I looked off in the distance and saw a Grassland Warrior in the distance, standing guard near a cave. I put my hand on my sword, Transcendence. Soon, I would be taking the battle to him...

Abalasster 0 Posted May 8, 2017 Author #13 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) I gripped my rapier and began to make my way over towards the Grassland Warrior. After a short wait, I decided that I just couldn't wait any longer and that I felt the urge to kill something. Morbid it sounds, but it was just a way to quell stress. As I approached closer and closer to the monster, it's appearance grew stranger and stranger. When I was slightly afar, I thought the creature was just some odd humanoid cloaked in green armor. However, the closer I got I realized that the thing wasn't a humanoid at att. The creature was composed entirely of grass. All the way from the head of the beast to it's feet, the Grassland Warrior was fully composed of grass. Even it's weapons, being a curved sword and a shield, were composed entirely of grass. It's eyes though, were blood red. However, that wasn't the strangest part of the beast. It's entire body, every grass fiber, seemed to ebb and flow in a downwards motion, like every part of this creature was moving. I was severely offset by this. However, I couldn't let something as peculiar as this offset me "Here we go" I said to myself as I drew my rapier. I knew that as this point it was too late now to retreat. I leveled the blade in my hand and readied myself for combat. I stared straight forward at the creature and it stared back at me. It's expression was cold. The thing didn't seem like it wanted to fight me, however, knowing that I intended to fight it, I assumed it felt as if it had no choice but to go into defensive mode. It raised it's shield just so that the bottom half of it's face was covered. But, I feel this for certain, it left it's eyes exposed to glare right back at me...

I watched as it spirited forward, it's Curved Sword ready to strike at me. Once it was in closing distance, I rolled towards my left, just as the Warrior struck the position that I had just been located at.. I smirked at this. "Thank God I rolled" I said in my head. I leveled rapier and got ready for the beasts next strike. And sure enough, right after it's first swing with the Curved Sword, it swung another. I bought my rapier up to catch the Grassland Warrior's blade. I watched as the two blades collided. And I was stunned. The grass blade seemed to be just as strong as my steel blade. The two of us, the Warrior and I, engaged in a battle of who would crack first, having our swords both forcing against each other. I was the first to break away, but not because I was overpowered. I back stepped just at the Grassland Warrior applied more force behind his blade. This mistake of his, left it wide open for attack...

There is a short moment when one strikes their enemy. When one stares down an enemy that knows that they will become victim to the onslaught that the attack was about to inflict on them. During this moment the world seems to stop, or slow down at the very least. Every feature of the enemy is highlighted and their features become more refined. A real sense of adrenaline builds in at this moment. And the next moment is when the adrenaline kicks in. I thrusted my Rapier straight into the Grassland Warrior's kneecap. I struck quickly and swiftly removed my blade from the enemy. I then struck at the monster's arm joint, striking hard and fast. This strike, unexpected even by me, disarmed the Warrior, making it drop it's shield. I then stuck at the Monster's hip, assuring that the beast would have a rough recovery. The beast then fell to it's knee, the one that I hadn't struck. So, I took my rapier and stuck one last blow into that kneecap of the monster, sending it collapsing to the floor.
