Hirru

They would reach their destination before Hirru could reveal too much more. What was wrong with him? He was sure that she would be receptive of the things that had happened to him. Why he did all the things that he had done, and what it brought out from him. It would become much more clearer about the things that had happened previously. Why he was always helping the NPC's that showed human like emotions? It was something that he was still wondering, at this point. What was it that really makes him continue this train of thought? Was he generally a good person, or was there more to it?

A quick slap to the face after giving some of her own potions to the group, it seemed that there was something going on with these two. Was Hirru in the wrong for bringing these two together? Of course not, he wouldn't know about everyone's business. That's Hik's job to know all of that. Where was the master of shadows? He needed to knock on his door some time. Most of the hunter's information from brokers have been from his network, but not him specifically. Though that was one thing and this is another. Looking back at the two of them, it seemed they were in embrace. At least one s

The whole of the island had been turned to it's 'night sky' setting, as the lanterns signaled the end of the day. The lanterns were also a sign to the hunter that he had a couple more hours before he had to turn in. This was usually the time he would take to do some night fishing, if he wasn't already venturing out into the wilderness again. There was quite a few promises made for the hunter to live here, although Baldur was clear that he could stay freely. Hirru wasn't one to make an action so freely, even if his unconscious efforts to save NPC's was becoming a heavy part of himself. He

As they waited, the hunter would look at his meager consumables being consumed by Cro. He was pretty sure that a second portion of the gungnir got taken too. Thankfully, it easily replenishes itself after 24 hours. There isn't much else he had, so his part in the supply chain was done. He hoped everyone else had brought what they needed, and if they had anything to give everyone else, that would be great too. Their wasn't much information out there about the area, except random encounters, which was going to happen anyway. Hirru didn't want to have any exceptions or any surprises. A

Alternate Methods Required <<Scouting the Labyrinth>> The time for waiting had long been over, and the hunter was patient for that entire time. Many different scouting ventures had been sent out into the floor, that he had heard about, but none have borne fruitful measures. This day would be different, as the hunter was going into the fray. He had scouted a bit of the floors, but nothing too extensive within the caves that wrap throughout the floor. They would start through the northern mountain cave entrances, then head their way through with the hopeful help of his and

There are many that call the fourth floor their home, and for good reason. It is a beautiful place to live, as long as they didn't care much about the cold. Hirru was not one of those people. Having to switch between his main extra skills and his survival skill, just to not die of extreme cold or heat was a burden for him. Still, the people that lived here and made shop within the floor were some great people, and some of his well known friends. He was about to find himself in a shop of someone that he had only briefly befriended not long before. In search of someone that can make so

Hirru nodded out to Nari. He had not much else to talk about to her. "Until then. Now let me hear out this one." The spoken words seemed slightly foreign to the hunter, but there was something about them that wasn't quite right. Who was this Princess that their assailant was on about, and why was she so on guard about it? Was she really on the run from this person? Did they have any other people after her? There were many questions going on in the hunter's head that he could not express too well, at the moment. The only thing that would come out as their guest said that was..

White powder fell softly all around the crimson cloak, as the hunter found himself in an odd venture, indeed. A social based event had been presented to those that would like to attend. All one had to do was to head onto the fourth floor, walk into one of the frost covered fern forests, and find a clearing filled with other players. Everything would be explained later, but the event did call itself, "Snowball Fight". What in the hundred floors was a snowball fight? Were they going to fight gigantic balls of snow that have come to life, by the system's guidance? That seemed like a very od

"What in the world are you guys doing? Snowballs? Fighting? Forts? Hmm.. I guess." // Team A!

It looks like that's what brought out their hidden adversary. Dark hair, couldn't tell the exact color with the current lighting, but that didn't matter much. Their clothing, though simplistic, seemed to help them blend in, although the hunter didn't think that was impart by any specific enhancement or design. The stealth skill was quite well known to hide even the largest of great sword wielders, if done correctly. This one didn't need that, it seemed. "Well, if it isn't our third party." Hirru was not going to let this opportunity get away from him, although he really didn't ha

The glow of shades and ghouls that inhabited the realm were starting to come out more and more, as a lantern became dark leaving a single smoldering remnant of light, from the last remaining one. It cast its glimmers upon Hirru's back, shining upon the silver plating that was his armor, leaving a feint outline from behind his shield. It was the only light that he could properly use, as the glow of the shades were not something to easily go by. They were known to cause imagery that may not be real. Making the dead seem to be living residents of the world. Some times, they would look upon t

"I'll let you know that the heat is unbearable without taking proper precautions. It gets to the point where you are boiling in your armor." Hirru would continue on the information that he still had of his old hunting grounds. There was so much to talk about that there probably wasn't enough time in the day to talk about it all. Where to go and what to do were all things that he had to figure out on his own, mostly. Although, he had to figure out everything anyway.. "Your health starts to drop, if you don't seek shade or shelter when the effect is upon you. It's not something yo

"Hey now! I didn't intentionally flood the place. It.." He remembered that to have himself be recognized by the player known as Jevi, the hunter would have to do something drastic, but he didn't really mean to leave the water on. He was just in a hurry, as she seemed to be leaving and he didn't want to catch her leaving without a proper means. Rubbing the back of his head with his free hand, Hirru had no weapon to be a threat with the entire time. What was keeping their hidden stalker? This was not Hidden's M.O., so who was it? "..It just kinda happened.." There was also

It seemed that this one was having some troubles. Quite a bit more than the hunter was really willing to work out, but the talks would have to be a timer. Whomever was skulking about in the dark isn't really attacking either of them. Was it a matter of numbers? It is true that two versus one is not usually a good tactic to face against, although the hunter has faced greater odds while fighting for his loot and lore. It was best not to dwell on it too much though. If it was a matter of numbers, then the moment that the had a chance, the hidden one could attack them once one of them walks

"Ah, it's a pretty dangerous place, but it starts with some of the most useful skill from throughout Aincrad." Hirru would start out as he recounted the layout of the fifth floor, also known as, the desert floor. Although many things changed after the twenty fifth floor incident, it still mostly kept the same motif. Hirru would talk about the main town, Fortaleza, being a minor stronghold before, was now just a fair sized town. The desert, which took over all of the floor, seemed to have worn away some areas, giving vision towards a large chasm that wasn't there before. The multitude

The sight of the individual that was not seeming to hide their position would come into view, and it was not someone that he was expecting. He didn't really remember the name of the one before him, but he did remember her from the party at Koga's. She was with Astreya, while he was trying to deal with a flooding kitchen. He couldn't really remember if she was anywhere else, though he had a sneaking suspicion she was at the tournament too. So odd for another player to be here, though that could say the same for him. "Aye, usually so. Was expecting something else to be here, but not a

The sounds of a woman's voice called out in the distance. Although the murmur of the dead were not that uncommon, they were not that clear to begin with. Just moans and cries, really. No, this one was inquisitive and farther away from the center of town. Hirru wasn't really expecting anyone to be coming here, especially one of the worst floors to venture into without night vision. Unfortunately, Hirru never learned that modular skill. Although, what he did have was a certain set of skills to find the unknown. Getting up, his quick change allowed his equipment to be set in an instant

"Believe me when I say that this is only a sign that my next hunt will end with not but col." He shook his head as the items disappeared into his inventory. The chest, having dissolved, also took the bait with it. The bleeding scoundrel could've left a bit of it for the fishes, but not so much of a morsel was left. The hunter wrestled with another bit of bait from in his inventory, and cast it back out into the calm flowing water. After making sure it wouldn't catch something in the next couple of seconds, Hirru would continue on. "I guess you're testing the waters, or so they sa

How long has it been? Time seemed to flow so oddly from the norm, at least that's what the jade haired hunter thought, as he walked through the silent streets of Yomi. It seemed to be that time of year once more, where the streets were slowly reverting back to normal after the holiday season. Only during the last couple weeks of the tenth month, a slightly livelier tone could be felt from the central square and the main roads leading in and out of the town. Normally, there is no light nor any sense of life on the floor, even in Yomi. Everything is a spirit or undead type mob. Though, dur

Hirru let out a slight chuckle and nodded to the company. The one going by the name Kana pulled out a fishing rod, intending to join the hunter. By the look of the rod, it would seem that he had only just started his fishing venture. It was a small time hobby, but something that was suppose to yield one of the most treasured unique items, a gleaming scale. These scales that could be gathered from Rainbow Fish, were incredibly rare, all due to the fact that you had to catch a rainbow fish to begin with. He remembered the quest giver telling him as such, but looking at his own inventory, he

The waters surface seemed to tremble as a disturbance comes about from around the bend. The sound of clanking metal on metal of the heavy armor classes; the hunter would know them quite well. It would seem that someone was walking towards him, although with how many still lived on the first floor, it could be anyone. With a slight turn of the head so that he could still see the bobber in his peripherals, he eyed up the individual that would be coming so close to a lone individual. Long black hair and armor that seemed to be familiar. It was only then that the hunter would recognize the in

Diverging Streams Flow Into One The fight to keep everyone's hope alive still rages on overhead, upon the newly founded floor twenty seven. A tireless assault that tests even the strongest of individuals. Everyone's lives that have been trapped inside the floating castle, Aincrad, hold these players in high regard, even if none know their names. These men and women, children and adults, are all there to complete the every growing challenge. These are the front liners, the hope of this world. However, hope can falter and fade, and so has the determination of many of the once stron

It had been some time since the rune scribe had a customer. Although, it could be said that there hadn't much foot traffic in these parts in a while. Though, when the long dark haired individual walked around the corner, Hirru was keeping his inventory of unidentified items up. He didn't want to be caught without his records kept, especially when someone could use these items more than him. Upon hearing the man out, the jade haired rune scribe would nod to him. "Yeah, that's about right. Welcome to the Travelling Flame's Rune Appraisal! I'm Hirru, and I'll take care of that weapon a

Grave's words seem to strike the hunter in an odd way. Yes, all of them were young adults, he guessed. Even some children here and there, but that was it. Most of them had proven themselves to have grown past their physical age. He was pretty sure of that. Though, to call all of them heroes, may be a stretch. They were all doing it to survive, but knew that they couldn't sit still to do so. If they stayed here, they would all die slowly. Hirru had been told as such, as they were all just wasting away on beds or what not. Sooner or later, someone would pull the plug. It was all a matt
