Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nikki's confusion knew no equal as the woman began to hug her. It was awkward and simply wrong, all she could do was stand there not sure what to do. After a few moments Xyts let go and took a step back. "Nikki, you've come so far on yer own. You've done really well. But you lost sight of something important. All you have to do is survive. You don't have to win, or push things too far. If you survive you will get out, and you will help everyone else get out." Her voice was oddly calm, and still happy. "I needed to show you that you cant always win." Nikki's mouth opened in shock as she tried to come up with words to describe her feelings and confusion. "You mean all of this was... just a thing? A something? It was just for me?" She stammered. In the back of her mind she wondered if this was some sort of trick, some sort of way to get her to let her guard down. Then again she had no real option to guard considering her items were gone. "Where's my stuff?" She asked now with concern in her voice. Xyts smiled again "Don't worry, it's all still there. I just needed to talk to you without getting stabbed."

Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It was still too much to grasp, not the concept of it, but rather the idea that this was just for her. If that really was the case she wondered now what everyone else got out of this quest. She shook her head and smiled. "I still don't know if I believe this.. but if its really true then thank you." She said at last returning her gaze to the other woman. "So what happens now?" As she spoke her spear and shield returned to her grasp. "That all depends on you. You can choose to go on and continue pushing the game till an inevitable end, or you can forge a different path." Xyts took a few steps back and began to sink slowly through the surface of the water. She stopped at her shoulders and gave another smile. "You and I are the same... We are in this together. For both our sakes, get out of this alive." With that she sunk completely below the surface leaving Nikki alone. For a moment Nikki stood there looking around as another gentle fog began to roll in surrounding her. This had truly been one of the most unique quests she had ever done for any game period. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Author #23 Share Posted March 31, 2014 She continued to stand there not sure what she should do. The fog had rolled in thicker now to the point where she couldn't see again. Suddenly something came to mind. Something she had to do. She had seen it once on TV and had always wanted to do it. She smiled to herself as she raised her spear above her head and let out a shout. "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.... As she finished the fog suddenly cleared, and with it the once solid floor of water she had been on vanished. In an instant she was plunged into the cold refreshing water of the pool in front of the waterfall. All that was left now was to get to the shore and head back to town. "No one will believe this at all..." She said to herself with a smile. Link to post Share on other sites
