The Power to Protect (Asheik + One more)

[Balore]

It was all about numbers in these games. If your numbers were high enough you were invincible or so that was what he thought. Balore had to keep pushing forward with his training, he needed to be strong enough to assist the other players who had no idea what they were getting into. Today he was not in as much of a hurry as the first time he crashed into Asheik- whom he invited to be here today while he farmed some experience and some cash. The last time they were all in a party together seemed to go well though he got the feeling that Asheik was holding herself back a bit the last time. Perhaps she wasn't comfortable around other people like he was, he knew some people who preferred to be alone but in this world that just didn't ever seem to cut it. As long as she was willing to have him around he would do his best to make sure that she wasn't left behind in the beginning town with the others in the catastrophe. Checking his equipment for the fourth time he made sure that his shield and sword were repaired and ready for action. 'Perhaps I should consider finding myself some upgrades soon. A tank is only as good as his gear.' he thought to himself as he left the town and entered the woods. He told her to meet him in the first clearing when you first entered the woods. That was where they had first encountered the downed caravan on their first quest. This time, however, there was no quest to be had. They were going to be grinding mobs for experience which could be tedious but proved to be effective in the past for leveling up. Taking a moment to scout the area that he could see, he would check for monsters and other players in the surrounding area to make sure no one was going to flank them.  "Seems like as good a place as any." he said as he found a stump to sit down on. He was imposing at six feet with an outer shell of pure iron wrapped around his body. He often found that he didn't have to try hard at all to ward other players off as long as he kept a stern gaze and carried his height and weight like he was important enough. Most of the time that was the opposite of what he wanted to do but it seemed that only people who wore higher level gear could tell the difference.

Complete uncertainty. That was the feeling that consumed Asheik currently. She paced back and forth near the entrance into Londinium, earning some stares from passerby players and People of the Land alike. Just until recently, she had been very reclusive. No contact with anyone period, that was her survival method. Then it all changed on that strange evening. Not only did she interact with one person, but several. And even made a temporary party! It was a rush then, but now it made her queasy to even think about. She compromised herself by doing something so stupid! But she earned a ton of experience which meant she was no longer squatting at level one anymore. She still didn't know if that benefit outweighed the negative though. And now here she was, putting herself right back into the same situation! Well... not exactly. It was only supposed to be Balore and herself, unless they maybe stumbled upon some other player that seemed decent... And so far, Balore gave her the best vibes of anyone she had interacted with or even seen thus far. He was nice, even though she knew she was being totally standoffish. No ulterior motives... yet, of course. At the very least, she could continue partying up with him unless he showed signs of change in his interactions with her.

Suddenly, Asheik stopped her pacing. She took a deep breath, exhaled, and then headed to the meeting spot. The uncertainty was there, but so was her confidence in her abilities should anything go awry between her and the seemingly nice guardian. Speed was a great asset against those tanky types after all. But, for now, she needed to stop thinking so much. Heading through the woods, she was starting to see the clearing they were to meet at. Choking down her nerves, her face kept a neutral demeanor, possibly coming off as cold as she tended to do. It was only another minute or two until she entered the clearing herself, looking around for her comrade. Just a ways away he sat on a stump, seemingly lost in thought. Going up to him, she bowed her head slightly. "Hello," she greeted. At that point, she looked around the clearing. No one else was in sight, so for now it would just be them it seemed. Just a further ways into the forest there was some mobs just barely in view. Turning back to the fellow wolf hair, she inquired, "Are you all set?"

[Emmerich]

Emmerich left the inn at daybreak, and moseyed down to the Windsor Woods, for another day of training. For quite sometime now, he's been grinding for Exp and Gold in the woods. He had fought against various beasts and monsters. Now only had he became stronger, but also through playing around with his interface, he discovered on his own that could use his skills without using the menu. By adding the skills to the slots underneath his status bar, he could use them from there. He had to assume the correct pose for the skill and imagine using it. It sounded easy, but hard to put into practice. But thankfully he only had about a handful of skills in his possession, making it a bit easier on the guardian. Though he did wonder how he could remember the poses for the skills then he's more higher leveled and has even more skills to choose from. He dismissed the thought, since he won't have to worry about that for awhile.

He gave a relaxed sigh when he reached the entrance to the woods. He felt calm from the fresh air and the scent of the greenery around him. He stood there for a moment to take it all in, before he entered the woods. He walked through merrily, with his mace slung over his shoulder and whistling a little tune. When he got to the clearing, his wondering blue eyes caught sight of two other people inside. One looked like a guardian, such as himself, the other was harder to define by looks alone. He stopped his whistling and gave a welcoming gesture to his fellow adventures, and shot them a smile as he did. "Hello there! Are you guys going into the woods too?" He said, his blue eyes darting between the two of them.

He'd been sitting here for quite some time now. In fact, he was even starting to doze off which was stupid outside of the safe zones. Shaking his head, he decided to stand up and stretch. When he did so he realized that he left an opening for others to sneak up on him and that was exactly what would happen. As he raised his arms above his head and made a loud girlish screeching sound, he heard foot steps. Quickly straightening himself back out, he moved his hand quickly to the hilt of his blade that rest in it's sheath behind the shield on his left forearm. Narrowing his eyes, he was put at ease as Asheik exited from the treeline and stepped into the clearing. So she did come! He was pleased to see her, though he was pleased to see most people when they agreed to come along on one of his adventures. In both worlds he had close to no friends, this was as close to normal as he got and he was loving it here so far. Smiling brightly, that stupid hero grin on his face, Balore waved at her as he relaxed the hand that had moments ago grasped for his sword. "Ahoy! You made it, I almost thought you weren't going to come. Figured that since we leveled up the last time you might have out leveled me and move on." he joked. There was a stupid laugh that followed, clearly he thought he was funnier than he actually was. From what he remembered of this one, she was a bit of a loner. While she interacted with him fine enough last time it was clear by her body language. In a way he could relate, though he was not alone by choice. Nodding to the Swashbuckler, he patted his shield loudly. "Yep! I am all ready for a fight. Maybe this time we can take on something a bit more challenging." he said with a wicked grin. As he started to suggest perhaps taking on some goblins or something, another figure emerged from the direction of Londinium. This man too seemed to be more like him, a heavy armor user. From the distance he could barely make out the mans class but he could guess, that was for sure. Waving to the newcomer, Balore put on his usual welcoming grin. "Yes, we were! I assume you're looking to tag along on our outing? An extra set of hands never hurts, though I am mostly built for taking. We can trade threat if that is a problem, though. I don't mind sharing the duties." he said. Word Count: 443 Tagged:

The joke didn't fall on deaf ears, and he was probably closer to the truth than he even realized. If she had only gained a few more levels, Asheik would've been determined to continue on leveling herself. However, she also knew soloing may not be the best option for quite some time period. Not while she was so far below the level of others. Asheik had seen quite a few go by that were at least twenty levels higher than herself. She had a lot of catching up to do if she wanted to be able to venture out further and possibly find a way to end this entrapment. Or at least find out if this would permanently be her life now. The thought made her feel terribly conflicted, but for now she would put it out of her mind. There was training to be done and she didn't need too many distractions.

In response to his always cheerful response, she shrugged. "As long as we are gaining experience and levels, I am content," she stated coolly. While a challenge could be fun, she didn't care either way. If anything it would simply test if they worked well together during challenging combat. That could be beneficial to know, but wasn't anything she required to know just yet. If they continued to team up like this in the future then it would be something worthy pursuing for them she had decided. About to open her mouth once more, Asheik was cut off by another voice greeting them. Instantly she went quiet, right hand resting on her hip casually yet conveniently above where one of her katana hilts were located. Carefully she watched the newcomer with her own blue eyes. It seemed he was wanting to team up. As per usual Balore went for it, gladly inviting this guy along. Two tanks and her as the DPS, it would make smashing things easy, but she still could never shake her feelings of distrust toward people period, but especially strangers. Holding back a frustrated sigh, she simply turned away from the men toward where there were enemies. For now, she would allow Balore to have his way, but if his super friendly attitude ever put them in danger she would openly stand against him she decided. Friendliness was probably going to be the guy's downfall, which was unfortunate. She didn't hate him or anything, but she knew how people like him could end up in a world like this. It almost made her feel bad for the Guardian.

Catching sight of a horde of boar up ahead, Asheik cleared her throat. "If we are going to train, now may be the time we head in," she suggested, turning back to the men. With her head, she gestured at the horde. At that, she turned back around, pulling out her katanas. She waited, not foolish enough to run ahead of two tanks to get herself into a mess. But she didn't care to make small talk, especially now that there was a decent sized horde waiting for them.

[Emmerich]

"That''d be great. It's been awhile since I've been in a party." Emmerich said to the man. It had been awhile indeed. The last time he could remember being in a party, with Whiteeyes, or Cherries as he liked to call her, though Whitney sounded more fitting as he thought more about it. They once met here in the Windsor Greatwoods a couple days after the catastrophe. He hadn't known one another before coming here, It was purely by chance that their paths had crossed. They forged a partnership and together, they fought the monsters that dwelling in the grass and other adventures who tired to mug them in the forest. And at the end of their adventure, they had a ton of loot and exp. That journey showed him the risks of the unexpected, but also the fun of the unexpected. And he looked forward for some unexpected dangers and rewards today with these adventures here with him.

"If you guys haven't made your party yet, I'll set up it up for you." He said, as he brought up his interface menu. He skimmed through his list of options, until he found the 'Create Party' option and pressed it. With the ability to create parties enabled, he turned his index finger over at the man in front of him and brought up his status information. He looked at his info for a moment. He could see that Balore was his name and he was, just as he suspected, a guardian like himself. He clicked at the party invite option and closed Balore's status information afterwards when he was done. He looked over at the lady whom was next to Balore. He could tell by her vigilant eyes, and silence that she was distrustful of him. He didn't pay it any mind. He just smiled kindly at her, before clicked at her form and brought up her status information. He could see from her infomation that her name was Asheik, and she was a swashbuckler, like Whiteeyes was. Just as he did with Balore, he sent her a party invite.

When Emmerich was done sending her party invite, he noticed that Asheik was anxious to get started with the training. His gaze followed her gestures towards the group of Pittered Boars nearby. "Alright, just hold on for a moment." He said, as took a second to toggle on his pathfinder ability: <Battle Perception>, on. The group of several boars were about levels 8 to 10. The guardian grinned confidently at the beasts. In his mind he thought they might be a good test subject for the new equipment he recently had gotten a day ago from another adventurer. He popped open his interface menu and opened up his inventory. From there, he dragged out the icons of his new equipment over the icons of his old equipment in his equipment slot. By just letting go when the icons hovered over the slots, they automatically clicked into place, and took his old equipment out and settled them into his inventory. Emmerich glanced down at his new armor and spear. The armor felt sterner than his old armor. And the spear felt right in his hands.

He stepped forward and turned to the others. "OK. I'll kite them over here. The moment I get back here, Asheik you attack them. Balore and I will keep them off your back." It was a basic tactic in mmos. The classic pull and attack strategy. Emmerich looked at his hotkey slots and with his finger toggled on one of his main guardian abilities: <Cool Defense>. He felt a chill over his body the moment it was turned on. He glanced over at his hands and saw a blue aura emitting from his finger tips. In the corner of his vision where his status information was, he could see his MP gauge had deceased a little. "Alright here I go!" he shouted out, before running at the hoard of boars. As he ran, he noticed that his MP was slowly but steadily dropping. When he got within proximity of the boars he raised the tip of his spear up to waist level. At this point, pun very much intended, the boars took notice of him when he got close, and readied their tusks. He stopped in front of them and brought his spear around. He then imagined using his <Aura Saber>. Soon enough, the blade of his spear emitted a red light. And quickly unleashes it upon four Pittered Boars. The blade cleaved into their bodies and force knocked them back a little. The guardian gasps after the skill's animation ended. Even though he has done this skill a couple of times, he wasn't used to having his body moving on it's own. But now wasn't the time to think about that. He had four pissed off boar ready to impale him on their tusks. He made a run for it back to the group. 

"I got them!" He shouted back to them, as he ran from the enraged boars.

It was clear that he would never truly understand what motivated her to be as she was. Though he would never bring it up she seemed to have a way with making it seem as if she had better things to do. It was sort of confusing to him since she was here which meant that she obviously wanted to be but couldn't seem to show it. Then again there were all sorts of odd people in this new world they found themselves in. Perhaps it was simply her way of coping with what was going on around them. The new guy seemed as enthusiastic about it as he did however. He was quick to bring up the party menu, which Balore accepted, and was even polite about it all. There was a smile on his face as he felt relieved that he was not the only one who acted like he did. "That would be great, thanks!" he replied before turning his head to see what she meant. He could see it instantly, the mobs they were hunting seemed to be gathering up in numbers in part of the woods. There was a plan forming rather quickly, Emmerich leading the way on this which he did not mind at all. It was even a simple plan which he would have used anyway making it even easier to follow when he executed it. Watching as the other guardian charged all of the boars, the strange weapon he carried would emit a red light and then cleave into all of them at once. Balore raised a brow at this, clearly he needed to obtain this skill as he could definitely see it's merit. No time for conversation it seemed as they were now being rushed by several boars. Instead of trying to fight the man for aggro however, Balore would gather a few of them to himself to minimize the damage Emerich took. Such a simple foe would not do so much damage as they clashed against his shield time and time again trying to break through the defense. Each hit only barely managed to make his HP dip in the slightest, he had quite some time before it became a problem. Instead of waiting for Asheik to get involved however he would take matters into his own hands. As a boar charged towards his shield, he countered their momentum with his own shield, smashing it's tusks with his own force and pushing it back. With a loud squeal, the boar would fly backwards and land on it's back. In total he counted five health bars however so for now he had to keep swinging, here and there being jabbed behind his shield by a stray tusk. "That is a pretty neat skill. I should look into that.." he said with a smirk as he cringed upon being forced back a step by the force of a charge. "Perhaps we should have brought a healer, though." he admitted with a laugh and a grin. Word Count: 503 Tagged:

When the party invite hit her screen, Asheik blinked momentarily. It had been a very long time since she had seen it pop up, of course now it was in person instead of on a screen. Hesitantly she rose her hand in front of the menu that popped up. Accept or Decline showed in two separate boxes along with all the current party information. With uncertainty she pressed on the Accept portion, watching the screen fade away. There was something about this small act that made her miss playing MMORPGs greatly. When other players weren't a constant threat and everyone was just there to play.

Knocked out of her thoughts by the party leader, Emmerich, flying by, Asheik blinked haphazardly. Right- the boars! Pulling both her katanas from their sheaths, the girl rushed to join both Balore and the other guardian in battle. There was already an obvious formation, Emmerich taking the brunt force of the damage initially while Balore held off the other half by pulling away two monsters. She would have to focus on Emmerich's mob first and then toward the end make her way to Balore to assist him. Of course, Emmerich had made that clear with his instructions anyway.

As the boars were focused on Emmerich for the most part at the beginning, she was able to rush up and flank them from the sides. Crossing her blades to form an X, Asheik took a deep breath. What happened next was the fun part. Using <Mirage Dealer> she struck a boar in the same X formation as her blades were placed, and then the Wolf Hair girl then teleported a meter ahead, placing her behind another boar which she began to attack with her blades.

This was a true rush. You couldn't even compare fighting on a computer screen to this, actually feeling everything and being in complete control of yourself. Asheik's Wolf Hair attributes made a full appearance by now, ears and tail included. It was obvious the battlefield was a better place for her, as she wasn't so wrapped up in who was trustworthy. The enemy was plain as daylight, and there was no morality in question by striking them down. There was a bit of happiness to be found in the battlefield, that much was certain for the girl.

With one last slash of her katana, one of the boars went down. She took this opportunity to glance about to get a hold on where they were at now. It seemed Balore was still dealing with two of the Pittered Boars while her kill left Emmerich to deal with one. Taking a precise step to line up with one of the boars that were busy with Balore, Asheik smirked. Using <Fold Step> she propelled in the direction of the boar, using the momentum to land a critical strike with her blades. It wasn't down just yet, and so she continued to slash at it. Her movements were extremely precise, which was to be expected of a Swashbuckler most likely.

Hearing Balore mention that they should have brought a healer, Asheik rolled her eyes playfully. "Bringing a healer would have made it too easy, Mr. I Want Something More Challenging," she chastised him, still in a playful manner. It was extremely unlike her, but being full of excitement and adrenaline brought her to a better place it seemed when it came to interacting with other Adventurers.

Just then, out of the corner of her eyes, Asheik noticed two more boars coming the party's way. "Incoming, guys!" she announced, focusing harder on getting the boar she was currently working on down.

[Emmerich]

Emmerich smiled as everything went according to plan; He and Balore kept the boars' attention while Asheik took the opportunity to flank them and manged to kill one of them. It was a simple but effective strategy. They maybe in a world based on an mmorpg, but the combat mechanics are roughly the same as it was back when it was just a game. And honestly, he felt that he couldn't go back to that. The combat here was just so involving. No mouse, no keyboard and no monitor. It was themselves doing the actually fighting and exploring. and they weren't on their asses getting fat. In this world he wielded strength and power he could only dream about in the real world. The battles, the exploration and friendships he forged, all felt so wonderful to him.

"C'mon, Ash is right; It would be too easy with a healer!" he jokingly said, as he joined in on Asheik's ribbing at Balore. "And it was Aura Saber I used!" he continued, right after he slayed the remaining boar at his feet, with a quick blow to the head from his spear. Quickly it's body exploded into colorful orbs that vanished as quickly as they appeared and left gold where the boar died. After he felled the creature, he moseyed over to the others to help with the other two boars that were gnawing at Balore's shield, until he was warned by Asheik of the two more incoming boars from a distance. It appeared that Emmerich may had been a little overzealous at showing off his new spear when he attacked the group of boars earlier; The range of it's reach must have been more than he expected. "I got it covered!" he said, gripping his spear tightly in his hands, as he dashed toward the charging boars. He readied the use of his skills in his thoughts and lifted his spear up, pulling it back as he got in position. Then edge of his spear alighted just as before when he used his <Aura Saber>, and swung it vertically across the rampaging boars; The blade cleaved through them in one clean stroke.    

But he wasn't done with them yet. Right after he used his skill, he prepared another one, <Hammer Beat>. He raised his spear high over his head, titling his torso back as he did so. For the split second, one could see a twinkling light dancing on the edge of his spear's blade, before his slammed it down upon the boars. There was a loud metallic crash, right when the spear made impact on the boars. The attacks he inflicted on the boars combined took their health down dramatically. The boars were almost flattened and had the life nearly squeezed out of them, but they still had fight in them. "I'll clean these up while you guys handle the ones you got!" he shouted back to the party, while using his spear's staff to hold off the boar's tusks. "Oh, and what I did was Hammer Beat! In case if you ask!" he said to Balore cheerily. He then turned back to the boars and begun to jab and slash at them with his spear whenever he could find an opening to strike, while laughing hardy laughter as he did. Once his skills cooldowns were over, he could rip into them again and end them for good.

This was exactly how he hoped it would go, the roles just sort of fell into place. Having two tanks was not entirely ideal but it worked for them, for now. Just like their swashbuckler his own wolf traits were starting to show from being continously hit by the boars. His eyes were a bright golden color instead of their usual blue and his teeth became more wolf-like in appearance. The only thing missing were the ears, but that usually only happened when he was pushed too far. In between loud clashing of bone against steel, he took a momoent to peer out over his shield at the battle. He caught glimpses of Ashiek moving from target to target with her dual katanas. Her speed was pretty high in comparison to a guardians and it was actually quite impressive to him. Although he felt uneasy about not having a healer he felt like this would be possible with her help. So far being trapped here was not such a terrible thing, he had more fun and friends than he did back in the other world. "Yeah well sometimes I say a lot of stupid things. Next time I think I'll invite one of the healers from my list." he said with a laugh as he shook his head. That was no exaggeration as he often forgot to filter himself when he got excited and just said what he was feeling. Just as he was about to crack another joke she announced the arrival of two more enemies coming their way. Clicking his tongue a bit he exhaled sharply, he was already tanking two and Emmerich was finishing up a mob already. With renewed zeal he swung his sword towards the closest boar and speared it right between the eyes. It's body shimmered blue for a moment and then it exploded into coins. He was pleased that the game animations were still here because that could have been nightmare inducing otherwise. As he finished one the other seemed to enrage and smash into his side taking a decent chunk of his HP. "Tch, these things are pretty aggressive when you pick on one of them." he said, mostly to himself. Even Emmerich seemed to be chimming in cheerfully, making jokes back and forth. He seemed pretty good natured and for someone they just met interesting enough to be around. Shaking himself from his day dreams, he recovered just in time to see a boar leaping at him. Raising his left arm and moving his shield into place he activated the skill [Counter Break]! His entire left arm including the shield would glow a faint blue color as he swiped at the boar and caused a loud clashing sound. As he felt the blow connect the boars body would explode into more blue light and coins. Now they were left with two mobs. This would be easy enough considering that they were not using their cooldowns at the exact same time. "Dibs on the one on the right." he said with a smirk as he instantly started to sprint off towards it to meet it head on in battle. He was having the time of his life right now and he hoped it would never end.  Word Count: 545 HP: 67% Tagged:

✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥

As Emmerich joined in on her fun, both poking at Balore with their own little quips, Asheik smiled to herself. This was truly the MMORPG experience she had missed, except real, for obvious reasons. Still, it gave her that rush that she hadn't felt since loading up her first game and immersing herself in it through the screen. She was surrounded by good people, not concerned about being back stabbed. It was a nice relief to have. And maybe, just maybe, the girl could find some trust in this world.

Before she could think much further on the concept of trust and what it meant risking in Elder Tale right now, the boar she was working on exploded into blue orbs and coins. Blinking, Asheik realized that Balore had assisted her on that kill and together they took it down without a hassle. "I still think you're being over cautious," she smirked, "If anything, this little party of ours needs something more challenging than some piggies." It would have been more engaging at least, though after she thought that she almost stopped focusing on that battle. Why was she feeling so different now about this group? Her whole time being stuck in this world had been spent observing and gaining distrust, but just beating up some mobs with these two guys was changing her perspective. She wasn't sure if she liked it.

Shaking the thoughts from her head, her blue eyes followed Balore as he rushed to take the other incoming mob that Emmerich wasn't working on. Following standard MMO tactics, Asheik immediately went to the tank and assisted him on his Pittered Boar. With some sort of grace, she slashed precisely at the creature, every hit calculated by her. With the combined force of Emmerich's tanking and her own DPS, the boar soon was no match and burst into the blue orbs and coins as well. Instantly she turned, flanking Balore's mob to help him finish it off quickly.

She hoped they would find something more interesting after this boar was finished. Something perhaps more engaging and difficult. For now, she would forget about her worries and change in attitude and just enjoy the fight.

Emmerich smiled down at the Pittered Boars, as they continued to ram their tusks and teeth at him. He sort of admired their tenacity and their willingness to keep pushing on, both literally and figuratively. Sure they were dumb animals, but even a dumb animal would know when to high tail it when their no chance of them winning a fight. But whatever, he knew they were just one strong blow away from being destroyed. He could see from his side that Asheik was on her way over, as well as Balore trailing close behind. He gave them an nod and pulled himself back, as the others got in and took on the boars. One of them were quickly slain by Asheik, gold falling on where it had been killed. There was only one left, and Balore was handling it.

Emmerich continued to stand back as Balore took it on. He felt that the boar was weak enough for the other tank to finish it off. "You got this one Balore!" He cheered him on from a distance, just far enough to change in case things get hairy, but he doubts that. He smiles on watching them, as well as their surroundings. He didn't noticed that two extra boars rampaging along with the ones he gathered before, he ain't about to make that mistake again. With their strength, prehaps they have the strength to take down 'it'? Emmerich felt pretty confident about attempting to take down that elite mob around these woods. He had fought it before, but he has heard about it from other players. They were frightened to death of this thing, and even heard about someone who'd managed to capture it and kept it as a pet, which only peeked his interest in finding one and possibly slaying it out in these woods. Maybe after they're done, the others might be up for it.

There was about four seconds between the mob and Balore. Readying his weapons he moved into position, side stepping the creatures first attempt to skewer him on it's tusks. There was a smirk on it's face as he watched it's easy to predict attack patterns, there was nothing it could do to him now. Another counter break would send it toppling over onto it's back which was followed by his sword giving a few melee auto attacks to it's belly which enraged it further. Once it recovered and jumped to it's feet, the boar made a leaping charge at him with all of it's might. Unfortunately for the boar it's charge was met with the tip of his blade which was driven right into it's skull by his own momentum. 'Game over.' thought Balore as he flourished his weapon and sheathed it once more behind his shield. He couldn't help but think what everyone else was probably thinking though, Boars were starting to become too predictable. There was no challenge, they needed something like Goblins or a field boss to do battle with. "Well, that was a nice warm up. I wonder if there are any lower level field bosses around here. I'd prefer an actual fight." he commented with a smirk on his face. He knew the other two most likely felt the same but he had no idea where to even begin his search if he was going to challenge one. Looking to Emmerich, he raised a brow. Perhaps he knew of one considering that his level was much higher than theirs right now. He seemed to be in thought about something anyway. "Got any leads on something like that? Or perhaps just a strong enemy in general?" he asked. Word Count: 292 Tagged:
