Runaway! Snakes [Closed]

[Litost]

my eternal solace

Deep gasps of air filled his lungs with the essential oxygen for him to continue on with his task. His hands struggled to grab anything that they could grab on in order to keep him from stumbling entirely over.

Timur pressed his back against the trunk of a tree, taking the slight break in the pursuit to catch his breath. "Otebis!" The sun had barely passed the halfway point in the clear skies, adding to his frustration with a good amount of sweat forming in his armor and clothes. He was only level one, yet he was straying off into the great unknown to kill some things and hopefully get stronger in return. Now it seemed like it was a mission to get himself killed in the process and delay any sort of progress to ascension.

The slithering of his opponents' scaly skin against the forest floor sent a shiver down his spine. It reminded him of his nearly imminent doom if he didn't get himself out of the hole he dug himself into. His health was already halfway depleted and without any sort of help, he was done for.

Now within two meters of his enemies, he took the visual cues to break off into another pursuit. Killing one of them seemed to have rustled the bunch into a frenzy and sent themselves after the human. Litost sprinted as fast as he could toward what he deemed safety but upon arrival only revealed it to be a small clearing in a massive forest. He swore to himself again, turning his attention to the direction he had just come from. His opponents couldn't have been that fast. Keeping up with a man with two legs was a near-impossible task. Good. Unfortunately, he took off in a direction perfectly right of the point in which he entered the circular knoll. His enemies would soon be on him again. They just had to bide their time.

"God damn snakes. I come out here to try and get a few more of this experience and now I'm running for my life." Litost ducked under a few low-hanging branches and rolled over an overgrown root.

Help in any form would have been appreciated. Dearly appreciated.

» A lot of things were going through Valentine's mind, the biggest thing being regret. She had pulled agro on snakes within the forest, which would have been just fine if she hadn't decided to explore outside the safe zones alone. She swiped open her menu in the middle of her run, but the map was barely filled up and she was only able to see so far as to where she was. She quickly dismissed it, sighing out of disappointment with the games map system. She was honestly lost and out of options. Hiding from monsters certainly wouldn't work, and using her animal trainer subclass would be almost impossible with multiple of the snakes chasing after her. Her only option was to try and make it out of their agro perimeter or back to Londenium, or let them kill her so she could respawn. That however, was no way for a princess like herself to go out. She would find someone no doubt and they would help her, or so she forced herself to believe as she continued to run away, screaming at the top of her lungs. "I REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE" ANYBODY OR THING WILL DO!" It was clear to her that a response from someone would be a rare, but great find so she kept her hopes as high as she could, until she spotted another adventurer.  Little did she know she had run so fast out of panic, that the snakes were long gone and after other players in the forest. It seemed however, that the on approaching her direction had either attracted her old predators or found some of his own. He looked just as tired and alarmed as she did moments ago, before realising when she came to a stop that she was safe. She would just have to help this man and he would escort her out, right? This is what she hoped, but based on the player running away from the snakes, she easily made the assumption that they were similair in level, and therefore were going to have to party up and work together if they wished to escape without dying. She held out her hands, surrounding them in an orange glow, summoning the clerics signature spell. "Reactive Heal!" She yelled, outlining the man in the orange aura, although it appeared to lack any buffs or healing. She yelled towards the man instructions on what to do in order for them to overcome these snakes. "You must become damaged again for this healing to activate! I apologise, but it is needed, no?!"  It seemed that everywhere she went ended up as some sort of crazy adventure, ones that old princess Valentine would have never had the joy of experiencing. There was something about being able to go and do whatever you wanted that made her feel liberated, and it was experiences like this one that made her feel alive and most useful. In the real world, she could do nothing but fence and do the things her parents had forced upon her, of which Elder Tale was among, although she was hardly able to play before the apocalypse took its place. It seemed that without the cooperation of the incoming player he would get sent back to the cathedral and she would end up lost.

There was a faint cry for help in the distance and that gave him a sliver of hope. He didn't know what would have happened if he died and he didn't want to find out either.

Moments passed which felt like eternities. He paced the forest carefully, scanning for any being to appear in all of the forestry.

And there it was.

Help arrived...!

In the form of a healer! Timur thanked the heavens for such a blessing. Though his passive gave him a considerable amount of healing, that little push from her healing spell was exactly what he needed. He watched as his health bar regenerate, breathing a sigh of relief as his savior had finally come to his rescue, something he didn't want to admit.

However, what made him a little uneasy was the fact that this girl was so open to healing anyone if they were on the verge of death. That was simply crazy. If he had been a player killer running from a group of gamers whose friend he had just murdered, getting a heal was probably the second best thing next to a glass of water from all of the running. Nonetheless, he was thankful for the heal and he nodded his head, a look of sheer exhaustion and adrenaline.

"You have my thanks stranger," Litost pressed his right hand against his chest and bowed politely. "I am in your debt," he said as he rose from his sign of respect and gratitude.

She seemed rather young, looking only to be barely what you would consider an adult. She could have been some sort of little sister to him, or even better a niece or some younger cousin. Blonde hair and innocent eyes, she didn't look like the type to try and kill people in the wild, as made evident by her previous actions.

"It seems snakes are a bit too much for us to take on by our lonesome," Litost joked nervously, knowing very well that without one another they'd be dead. "Ah, where are my manners?"

The Russian man extended his right hand. "Litost, at your service, ma'am."
