Teion

Teion kept largely to herself while the gaggle of players seemingly converged on the redhead. Keeping to herself was her default setting, after all. It was Boreas’ pointed greeting that first got a word out of her, to which she exhaled a single chuckle through her nose, flashed a crooked smile, and nodded. ”Yeah, I remember you.” She rarely forgot the face of a customer. It was Kindling’s following commentary that wiped the smile off her face and drew a sharp glance back in his direction. What was this guy’s problem? She could only guess the sudden influx of company was cramping his style.

To say the bubbly brunette with the twin-tails nearly bounding her way into the smithy with that huge smile on her face caught Teion off guard was an understatement. The blacksmith blinked, staring at Kairi from the other side of her anvil as she produced a simple weapon along with a hefty pouch of col and set them both on the counter. She cocked a brow, set her tools down, and took stock of the girl’s request. ”Wait, are you–” Teion practically bit her tongue to stop her from questioning the ridiculous amount of col she had just been presented with. She knew Aincrad’s economy was in sham

The duo had just vanquished the Cerberus and its pack of Hellhounds, and Teion brought her axe to rest at her back so she could brush her hands together with the soft ‘clap’s of a job well done. The dialogue box declaring their quest complete popped up in front of either one of them, and she slowly brought herself closer to Ryo as she reached a hand up to dismiss it. ”Yeah, fighting in the heat kind of sucks, but that really wasn’t as bad as I thought. The leads I heard made it sound like–” Something caught her attention enough to derail her train of thought. Her finger hovered over the blue c

She approached while keeping a healthy distance, originally not wanting to interrupt Ryo’s one-on-one with the boss of the cavern. He threw out a bit of a verbal jab and she smirked, opening her mouth to rebuff his taunts. She had no interest in kill-stealing or showing him up. She was about to say something about how finishing his own battles built character, but then she caught that desperate look in his features and the guilt found her again. The Inferno Cavern certainly wasn’t the best hangout spot, and while she could argue all day and night about the importance or worth of trudging all t

”Left!” The single word was all she needed. The ground was trembling, the sands shifting under Teion’s feet, and matching her call just a moment later, a geyser of desert erupted to the left of a purple-haired man in the distance. Teion stood in a battle-ready stance, her hands tight around the handle of her ivory-white axe. She waited for the right moment to move, the correct time to lead her partner’s strike. Emerging from the ground in an explosion of force was the rounded head of a massive, segmented creature–a sand wurm. The center of it seemed to splay open in a ring of thousands of tiny

They were thinning out. The Hellhounds were running out of numbers and Cerberus was running out of heads. She allowed a hand to come off the handle of her axe for just long enough to run the back of her hand across her forehead. Her bangs were slick and stuck to her skin. "So," She called over to Ryo between heavier breaths, "We can stop back at your place for a shower before the next thing, yeah?" For someone who boasted about living in a desert, a volcano was apparently a different kind of beast. The air was thicker, the craggy blackened ground looked as if it would burn her skin, and a slig

Theo’s boisterous celebration demanded their attention, and Teion cracked another smile as their arms pumped in the air with excitement. However briefly, she got the answer to her question. This was the simple joy of playing a video game with her friends. Watching Theo take down their first monster. Listening to Ryo giving pointers. Considering some of the insane things she’d dealt with up to now, unpleasant memories wriggling to the surface, maybe it was a good thing that Theo hadn’t strayed far from the first floor. Maybe she shouldn’t be encouraging him to fight at all. Joy turned to m

With a grunt of effort, Teion pulled her massive axe around in another sweeping arc that cleaved a lunging dog in two before its fangs could find her. The bladge sank into the black rock at her feet and she switched her grip to pull up and dislodge it. Sweat flung off her brow just the same as flecks of searing molten rock flew off of the sharpened edge of her axe. She braced and the polearm came to rest in the crook of her left shoulder. Ryo called out, having just dispatched a third of the leader while she worked to thin out the packs of hellhounds. She cracked a grin at his enthusiasm,

As Ryo had his hands full with three growling heads, Teion was left with the pack. She caught the jaws of one with the handle of her axe, bracing her footing to hold the rabid dog at bay with a grunt. The others wouldn’t wait for their wrestling match to conclude, though–she had to move. Her forward leg pulled up and kicked across to jab the toe of her boot into the monster’s ribcage and it let out a yelp as it released her weapon. Teion ran forward, swiping at nearby hounds in wide arcs. She caught two with clean cuts that ran nearly the whole length of them, and shortly after the damage regi

For the briefest moment, she regretted asking that last bit as a question. There was a chance he might say he didn’t want to put her in any danger, or he was better off going alone. Not that she didn’t value his privacy, but she felt like she’d heard that sort of “for your own good” or “it’s better off this way” kind of thing enough times before that it might make her gag at this point. But of course, Ryo surprised her. He invited her along so matter-of-factly that she blinked in mild disbelief. She paused and watched him for a moment. ”You ever worry that someone would come looking for y
