she clicked her tongue. night had assumed the damage from nari would've been able to finish them off, but the skeletons seemed more tenacious than initially expected. she channeled that frustration into two rapid strikes – both diagonal, one upwards then down, that shattered the two would-be bodies into nothing but thin air. vapid – perhaps that's why they lost interest in the quest a long while ago, presuming the corpses and the uncompromising sword to be all that it had to offer. now she had to try her best to recall what nari had said to her. "you said something earlier.

less than nothing? night wished she was. watching her friend draw the ire – and impact – of the dragon spoke enough about their dynamic in the fight. she was glad she could trust him with her back, but on her lonesome, watching her cooldown timers, her finger snap at the right moment hadn't exactly done what she'd wanted to do. so she was still visible, still standing present, apprehensive about her next move. night had a plan for many things – but for this one, she was lacking. "come on..." the player hissed and looked about. was wushen really

funny how, despite the differences in their level of experience and expertise, their stories tended to sound the same. and in that, there was something to appreciate, night thought. she brought her knees up to her neck in a shift, resting her cheek upon them as she continued to listen. metal armor in comparison to leather – she could only nod, considering. but the unusual part was in realizing how he hadn't seen his tutor ever since. she'd been looking away, imagining the tale as hirru regaled her, but night faced him upon that revelation. the parting so soon? she couldn't have imagi

"i--" first of all, night hadn't expected the ambush. the last time she was present, all enemies came right at them in a single filed line. but noticing the room interiors being devoid of a lamp-sword and filled with monsters instead, she bit her tongue. recovered her words once again after she'd took point ahead of nari, filling in the space that her party member had left open for night's charge in. "what does that even mean?" she wasn't going to wait for an explanation. with the tip of her sword pointed right between the shambling cloaks' ribs, she drove it through the qu

"or your armor," night returned, with a snort and a grin. she hadn't exactly been expecting to run into trash mobs so soon – was hoping she would be able to get to the warden without running into them, actually. but the twenty-fifth's layout was inhospitable; everyone knew of that, especially yuki, so perhaps night should've accepted her fate of encountering a stray soul or another. what shambled up to them were two husks, near carcasses – one minotaur, one orc. and night didn't exactly know where the orc came from, but threw herself into the fray nonetheless. her sword bit into the

"nyanko," the artisan called out just as she opened the door. alongside the chime of a door bell, there was a soft thump as the clerk landed from his position on a shelf, picking up the order forms before scampering to her position. nyanko looked up at his owner with large eyes, expectant – and so too did night lower herself to cherish her familiar with pets and coos. a moment later, the feline was playing supervisor to the packaging for the few custom items. night looked over the headband, curious, before trying it on. a little tight – so she made some adjustments before placing it

a silent retrieval. when night entered the ring, it was right after leaving bistro a generous sum of play-cash, and her feelings at the foot of the cintamani's doorstep. her gaze shifted, attempting to take in the appearance of the statues. had they remained constant? the same? no small detail out of place? her breathing was shallow in territory still unfamiliar, and after the day she'd had, things were still not looking quite right. so her steps forward were tentative, sword in hand, the player almost flinching at every echo that bounced back towards her in the acoustically cursed roo

“um, can i come along too, then? … mom needs some time to rest after taking the medicine, and… i don’t exactly want to be alone right now…” cyness spun in air – graceful, but not as energetic as before. “i think it’s best if i talk to her friends and family about her passing… but maybe i could help them, too, about the poison that’s spread through the floor? do you think… that’s what she would’ve wanted out of this?” night wasn’t sure how to answer. but the ghost sure did, after a heartbeat, pressing her hand upon cyness’ form despite knowing she wouldn’t be recognized.

a short grieving session afterwards, and night and day had finally decided to leave. the player had all the materials she needed for a marking stone – it would be fitting to return to their skirmish spot out of respect for a beat. even if it wasn’t to serve them, she was sure izzlath and cyness would appreciate it all the same, and after a brief discussion, they gave their appreciation for the act. cyness, however, told them to wait up, and so they did, entertaining the dragonling for the minute she’d wanted. “um,” cyness began, looking downwards before her gaze fell on nig

as the dragon drew close to the herb, cyness sat on the ground, just as night felt obligated to do in wait for their ritual to end. her child spoke again. “mom?” izzlath stopped, and looked to her daughter in anticipation. tears starting to well up at the corners of cyness’ eyes. “… i miss her already.” “i know, sweet pea. i know.” her mother brushed her snout upon her child’s head, and she exhaled, heavy and weary. after a long nuzzle of affection, izzlath finally pulled away to swallow the herb and pouch whole. as she did, day final

they traveled back safely. night carried cyness on her head, the dragonling latched on high for safety, and in poor attempt to raise the party morale. day walked beside them, unusually quiet – it wasn’t in lieu of creepy ghosts, this time. the player figured her secondary had much to consider on their way back to izzlath’s lair. the mother dragon seemed welcoming of their return. but noticing an absent spot where an amazonian warrior might be, she sombered, looking away in grief and loss. it was only at cyness’ approach with the pouch did izzlath finally tear her eyes away from distr

they were silent for a minute, as they looked around to pick up the pieces. there was a faint sobbing from under one of the largest, palest leaves, and night pushed it aside to find cyness hiding underneath, clutching onto a sack without its owner. night didn’t appear as terrifying as she once did, now. instead, she just looked tired, and sad – she wasn’t great with kids and neither did cyness need this loss. what was she to do? she crouched down beside the dragonling, offering her hand out. cyness wriggled away, but hadn’t decided to turn tail just yet. “she said you were
