Zajcica

  The next pack of feral monsters charged the lines of players without a care in the world. The paladin crossed her arms and sighed as the group drowned upon her, also being affected by her previous howl attempt. There wasn't much reason for her to even use her weapon, so why bother.

They surrounded her and clawed at her armor, doing more to get through than most of the other groups that they had fought up until now. They felt the burning freeze of Yuki's new gear, searing at their rotted and blighted skin.

"Try in vain and leave me alone." The pink haired paladin said continuing her way to the place that Miraak needed to go to. These mobs doing absolutely nothing to her didn't matter all that much. As long as they focused solely on her and not Night, there wasn't any problems.

"Thank you all for coming along." Yuki mentioned just in time to tell Raidou his goodbye. Hidden had thanked her as well, and that made you Yuki smile from ear to ear. She had come far to reach the same ranks as Hidden and was glad to see she could finally return the favor for saving her life at least.

"You are always welcome to party with me Hidden. If you ever need a tank for anything, I will make sure that no harm comes to you." The paladin said, thinking about offering the girl a hug before they parted ways, but that didn't really seem like her style. Yuki turned on her heel and started making her way over to the portal. "That thing you dude earlier against the peep by the way, I've never seen anything like that. How did you do it?"

She asked, it was hard to ask such questions when you were so hard focused in combat.

Demonic Weapon - ID#161658

The paladin walked through the barrier of the safe zone and instantly felt better. The sand was still being flung up by the wind, but at least like this, there were some structures that blocked the full force of the storm.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Yuki said, looking to Chase who was mumbling her name under his breath, presumably to get it correct. "Zay-chi-sa" She said, not really going further on the subject, but opening her menu to send him a friend request, along with the girl.

"If you need me, message me. I'm going to be taking a few days off to enjoy and upcoming event on the twenty-second floor. Once that is over, we'll teach you a little more about tanking." Yuki turned her items in to the quest giver and started to walk to the teleporter. Time to take a well deserved break after quite possibly months of endless grinding.

The paladin took a moment to settle the water out of her hair and fix the beautiful Kimono that she had put on somewhat disheveled. She smiled at Crozeph as he welcomed her and pulled her into his chest. What a perfect way to relax after having been stressed out the last week or two about leveling up. A quiet boat ride with her fiance, writing their wishes to be hung up on the trees.

It was probably one of the most romantic dates that she could have ever thought of. Not that she had really been on many herself or anything. "I have been doing a lot of leveling, and I need a break. I'm pushing myself too hard. Night was telling me that she would start to get worried if I pushed myself too hard. I guess I need to learn to relax a little more. I'm sorry if I've worried you."

What would you wish for the rest of your stay in Aincrad?

What would you wish for the better of people around you?

What would you wish for someone you care about?

What would you wish for someone you would like to know better?

What would you wish for yourself?

The paladin was mostly quiet throughout the walk back to Fortaleza. There really wasn't much for her to say at this point. She had give Chase a hard enough time as is and the tension was still somewhat apparent even after his apology. Given how she was with Shield, she was glad that he at least came around. Since he wasn't going to be focusing on taking the same way that she does, she wouldn't have to be as hard with him as her mentor was with her.

Putting her hand up to her face, she tries to cover her eyes from the raging sands. They would be there by mid-afternoon if they kept up this pace at least. Then she could finally go home and actually get some decent sleep. Maybe take a few days off of questing and grinding to recuperate from her fatigue and be more ready than ever to take on the tasks ahead.

Yuki watched the group of Lion's charge directly at her. When she had first taken on this quest with Oscar, Mari and the girl who had to constantly remind her about being a shield turtle, she was terrified of these cats. She even had to risk her life to make sure that girl didn't die from them. One attack and she would have been sent to the Cardinal.

Now she was too strong to even care about their presence. The first one leaped at her, it met her fist, knocking it off to the side and onto the ground, dislodging a tooth from it's skull. She stepped out of the way of the next one. The third leapt at her all the same. She reached out and grabbed the enemy by it's maw. The teeth sunk into her hand. With a slight toss, she threw it to the other side of her. The Lion himself clawed through her armor across her chest. It paid for such an attack with fire.

A short journey further into the wastelands of sand and the group would be able to see the crashed shipment that they were looking for. Yuki reached her hand out in that direction and called through the sand storm. "There! Look's like what were looking for."

The paladin continued the lead until the group made it to the busted down wagon. She grabbed a part of the shipment and moved it into her inventory, but that's about all she could carry for herself. "You guys will have to take the rest then. All we have to do now is take this stuff back to the quest giver and we have the skill unlocked for purchase."

Shay picked up her own part of the package and moved it to her inventory the same way. Then, she picked up Chase's set and reached out to give it to him. "Here, this one's yours."

Yuki watched the three stooges get up off the ground only to be sent several meters flying by her partner. Yuki stood their with her arms folded, but when she noticed that one of the remaining of the blighted fiends was barely hanging on to it's unlife. She drew her blade and made a sword art. A slash of her blade across all the targets and she left the poor fool hanging even closer to death than he had been before. Well, he could suffer a few seconds longer while waiting on the damage over time to finally end his misery.

Yuki then sheathed her blade back into it's holster. She really didn't need to waste all her energy taking attacks when her thorns did more than twenty times her damage with a weapon. She stood over the four enemies, waiting for their next feeble attempts to put her in the ground.

Bully NIGHT Day it was.

Yuki had barely the time to react to what was going on. An ambush of some kind that had left Night without her energy, surely. Luckily enough, she had gotten hers back, so she needed to jump in and be the damage sponge. With a surge of power from her blade, Yuki some how missed three of these enemies. Their focus wasn't on her that was for sure, it was on Night.

Two of them attempted to slam their massive rock arms on the skirmisher, one actually connected with her. Her health dropped and the paladin began to worry. "Night! Are you alright?!" She called as she rushed over to help her. She would put herself between the golem and her damage partner. Her arm raised in protection like the shield that it was supposed to be. "Don't worry, I've got your back, recover for a second if you need to!"

The paladin noticed Miraak's attack, which was actually kind of scary when you thought about just how much power an NPC could dish out like that. Ah whatever. He only exists to drive forward this plot. There were monsters much more terrifying than him dealing 200+ damage.

Not even a step forward and more of the diseased enemies came rushing out of the townhouses breaking down the doors and throwing themselves at the paladin. Looks like her earlier howl had gotten to them, they were just slow. Slow as hell they were. Yuki hadn't even moved from her spot when they all lunged at her. Three of them dropped at her feet, completely missing her with their diving attacks and another found itself writing against her holy aura.

"A for effort I guess? Nah, that would be more like C, cause that was the most pitiful attempt on my life I've ever seen."

Yuki danced around the battlefield, dodging the break dancing rabbit the best she could in her new lighter weigh armor. It felt good to be moving around as fast as she was in heavy armor. If she wanted to get a hit on this fuzzy little shit though, she would need to time her attacks around the beat of the music. The break dancing bunny spun like a tornado of fur, threatening to launch the paladin if she made the wrong move. This was one dangerous tango.

From seemingly now where, Sebastian dropped and egg on the battlefield. It was massive in comparison and even had a cartoonish fuse set up on the top. It looked like it was about to blow! All the cards are on the table now. "Focus down the rabbit! If we kill him, the abilities will disappear too." Yuki commanded, pushing past Sebastian's vigorous dance moves and slashing his leg. A fuzzy leg connected with her body, launching her back. Yuki rolled as she connected with the ground and got back to her feet in an instant.

This was the end. Alkor had missed another attack, but she wasn't worried about that at all. She had originally come to do this quest all alone, so his damage was simply a supplement to her tanking.

The bee came back around for more. Whether the bee hits her, or she hits the bee, it's going to die. Her gauntlet glowed with a beautiful sheen as it collected power. The charging attack from the bee missed completely. Yuki whipped around before it could fly away and connected a punch in an instant. The bee collided with a tree, breaking some of the bark and dissolving into data.

Yuki took a deep breath and loosened her stance. Her eyes went back to Alkor. "Owari. Good work. This quest was somewhat over-leveled for you, but I'm glad I could come along and help you get back into the motion without fear of being attacked."

"I mean I hope I get something useful. This was like the entire reason we came out here, along with material gathering and money grabbing right?" Yuki asked from her seat in the soil. One short rest would be enough for them to get right back into it. She could imagine it now, her with a nice set of armor. If she was lucky enough to get an aura armor, it would be monumental. She would be one of the toughest people in all of Aincrad with a set a like that. Not to mention all of the thorns damage that she would be capable of doing with all those auras.

Sooner or later, her heads-up display would ping her to let her know that her health points and energy were back up to maximum, they might have to wait a little while longer on Crozeph though. She would need to get him his own room with the buffs so that he could benefit from them as well.

The paladin readied her next sword art, her lance glowing with a pink hue. It hummed with power as she slashed it through her two targets, eliminating one immediately and leaving the remaining spider wounded. It bounced back at her, sinking it's tiny - well tiny for it - fangs into her shoulder. Needless to say, she hardly felt the damage at all.

Judging by how long they had taken to remove these spiders from their presence, she was sure that her damage buddies were getting somewhat low in their energy reserves. Even if hers was doing alright, she couldn't risk them getting too low and being unable to participate in the fight at their fullest. "We'll take a break after this round! Finish them off quick!" And just as she spoke, more spiders spun down from the ceiling. "Well, shit."

Yuki scratched the back of her head. Talking was easy - Tanking, however, was not. It was a cruel way to play the game, honestly, until you got to the point of her build where it seemed as though nothing could scratch you no matter what clay-more they brought to you're armor. She knew exactly what he was about to say without him even finishing the sentence. It was one she constantly repeated to herself everyday while grinding. 'I'll protect them - As long as I'm here, nothing will hurt anyone.' That sort of stuff.

"Morning." Yuki exchanged pleasantries. With a snap of her fingers, all the camping gear was moved back into her inventory. "We should continue on our way. The shipment can't be too much further."

Taking a peak back at ChaseR, the paladin gives him a slight smile. "I will teach you more about tanking on another day. Take this one easy, and let's get this extra skill."

"For my ring, I would prefer something majestic but symbolic as well. I'd like silver band shaped like a Gryphon's claw. It sounds weird to have on a wedding ring, but I think it would embody the feeling of perseverance and strength." Yuki says as she takes a piece of paper out to make something of a makeshift drawing from her mind. She did one for Crozeph's ring as well, just to make sure that their custom needs were met.

"Very well. We will take all these into account when making the rings. What sort of enhancements were you wanting them to have?" James asked, to which the paladin replied: "I will take the enhancement for damage mitigation, while my husband will be taking the one that increases his energy."

"Well thought out. I think that will be all the information we need then. Thank you for taking the time to come today. Once you are ready to have your wedding, please let us know and we will begin making the necessary arrangements." And with that, James stood and went into a back room inside the church. Soon after, the couple would leave as well.

<-- Yuki's Ring | Crozeph's Ring -->

Yuki was quiet through out the night, thinking solemnly on the words that her best friend had told her yesterday. After this, she would take a break. If she wore herself ragged, she would surely just be too tired to fight the Shadow. This wasn't a fight where she could complain the entire time like she had been the last few days of questing. People were betting on her protection to keep them alive, and if she didn't put all her money on black then she would be going home poor.

Soon into the morning, Chase would wake up. He took a seat next to the girl and apologized for oversleeping. Yuki was quiet for a moment before responding. "You slept because you needed it. If you want to join the front, you need to keep your stamina up. I'm already here. I can deplete what I have, rest and be ready for the fight to come. If I had a problem staying awake, I would have simply woken you up and went back to bed."

Only one thing remained to complete this quest: A stupid little bee needed to be put out of it's misery. All it would take is one decent hit, but with Alkor missing, she would need to rely on her own thorns to make up for the undealt damage. As the bee continued it's assault against the tank, she readied her blade with it's shining aura. The attack came in and with a swift movement, the bee paid for the stupid idea of trying to attack her. Not only did it's attack get nullified and returned to it, it also suffered the ever present thorns damage of her armor, leaving it worse for wear from this point on. All it would take now is a little nudge and they would be finished.

Next in her rotation would be a shield bash. Even if both Alkor and her managed to miss, at least there was her thorns to rely on.

The moment the enemies reappeared, Yuki let out another sigh and pulled her trusty horn from her belt, with in a moment, the familiar blue light emanated from her, getting the solid attention of the enemies around them to look towards the tank.

As much as Yuki had been excited to try out her new gear, the fatigue of all the work that she had put into this set had drained her of all motivation to enjoy herself. It didn't help that she could basically stand around and do nothing and get value for it. Maybe it would help her to be more active against groups like this, but what was the point really? Her damage was way too insignificant to matter in the grand scheme of things, and she would just be wasting energy for it. Might as well just sit back and watch her targets burn for trying to touch her.

Surrounded by prey wearing the guise of a predator, the paladin merely crossed her arms and waited for the inevitable. They had merely a sliver of health points remaining would likely die the instant they came close to her.

Soon, the pack jumped on her, clawing at her aura like mindless idiots. Two of them disintegrated in her holy aura while one passed through unharmed. The moment she was touched, however, it exploded into nothing but crystal, Yuki sighed lightly with a slight shrug and checked the health bars of the group. Only hers taken a hit, if that's what you could call it.

Fight was starting to become boring, she didn't even have to attack. She couldn't wait to have enough skill points to make her next purchase... then things would begin to liven up again. Once those lions were dead, four more came from the bushes. One looked like the king of the pack, distinguishable by it's flawless mane. "Let's get it over with." The paladin said, waiting for their approach.

The rings needed to paid for as well. She had forgotten about that. She leaned over to Crozeph and whispered, "Would you be able to pay for that one? I can pay for the other ones so don't worry about them." She said with a warm smile and looked back to James.

"Yes, we'll be ordering custom rings since they aren't much more expensive than the golden bands. My Fiance here will be paying for those." Yuki felt so awkward doing all this. It was way too much legal type of stuff for her. She generally hated these kinds of things, but she was glad that they were actually getting it done. They had to after all for when they cleared this next floor. Then once they were married, everything would feel so much easier. Maybe then Yuki could find some time actually relax for longer than a single day and not feel drained on every quest that she goes on anymore.
