[SP-F3] <<Worn Out Welcome>> Solo {Complete}

[Dominion 0]

Dominion had just completed a quest in the floor above, rescuing two children from a cave. When he took them to their NPC mother, she was very pleased. She thanked him, but she seemed to not trust him, as she displayed through her eyes. Not to mention, Dominion had been through a very long day, and he was honestly exhausted. With little hesitation, he exited the tavern alone and proceeded to walk to a bench outside the doors. As he opens the doors, a ray of noon sunlight breaks through the plane of wood from the ceiling above, blinding his dark eyes. He raised his arm lazily to obstruct the ray in order to conserve his remaining energy. He pivoted his body to the right with the hope that there would be an object to set his body on. He noticed a bench a step away, facing out towards the landscape of the mountainous terrain. While he sat down on the wooden bench, he opened his menu with an elegant swipe of his hand. As he scrolled down the menu, categories were listed alphabetically, when he noticed a tab appropriately named "friends list". Pressing the visible icon in front of him, a large space opened up. However, only a handful of names were in that space, one being Wolfie. Dominion was suddenly restored with energy that he didn't believe he had. "I really do want to have a brother. Apparently, you can make that a reality for me." Dominion bent his head down as he whispered these words to himself, his short cut blond hair moving forward on his forehead with a lack of resistance. Dominion raised his arm above his head and swiped to the side, closing the menu one more time.

Dominion stood up from the bench employing some of the replenished energy that had returned after some time has passed. The sun had not moved from it's position in the sky, which gave him a reason smile. "Looks like there is still more of the day ahead for me. There is much more to learn and to explore." Dominion said this aloud. He opened the menu and noticed a small icon separate from the others, which he pressed. He was not aware of what occurred, until the mountainous terrain vanished. He was in another place, on what he could assume was an entirely different floor. Instead, a small village remained in the space which had been previously occupied by the mountainous terrain. A vast plain of grass now resides in all directions, diverging from the village as far as the eye can see  The sun had not moved from it's digital space in the sky, meaning that no time had passed. He began to walk forward on the dirt path, which split the uncut grass on both side, towards the village. As he made his first step, he could already tell that this place was peaceful, but things could change at any given moment.

As Dominion walked through the village gateway, he was greeted by an unwelcoming party. A stout man with large calloused hands was bickering with a slender lady. He approached them, only to quickly move to the left, barely making way for a scroll thrown into his direction. Dominion did not flinch at the thrown scroll, but instead continued to walk towards both of them. The man was showing clear signs of stress, while the lady was trying to help the situation. Dominion had no idea what this matter was about, and many times in the past had been told just to ignore situations like this. On the contrary to those remarks, Dominion had never entered into any situation completely uninformed and felt uninvited. He always seemed to help out while also acquiring assets for himself in the process. Dominion halted himself a meter from the man, whom was grasping some parchment in his right hand. The lady began to ask the man to put down the parchment and cool off. Dominion greeted both of the two people by saying, "Hey, my name is Dominion, how may I be of service?"

The stout man’s expression changed suddenly from stressful to confused. “Did you just ask how you could be of service to us?” The man laughed. “The question should really be, how may I be of service to you, player?” Dominion liked the friendly change in the mood. “Well, I am a low level player in search of better gear, but I really need more Col. Is there any way you would be willing to assist me in acquiring gear?” Dominion asked this because the man appeared to have the build of a worker. The man smiled back at Dominion before unraveling the scroll of parchment. “Most surely, but whatever you want me to make will most certainty require materials. Considering the lack of business recently, I have had little reason to go and acquire the materials myself. How about I strike you a deal. If you go out and get the materials from the dark elves which happen to dwell in the in these forests and the mountainous earth, I will design you some cloth armor for a few adventures in SAO. Do you accept my deal?”. The stout man stood, leaning on a wooden post the workbench which held the sketches on parchment. His smile was welcoming to Dominion, enough so to make him feel ready. “I accept the deal” Dominion moved two strides forward to shake the man’s hand.

His wife stood with a smile of relief, as whatever conflict had been temporarily resolved. Dominion asked the man, “mind me asking for your name, sir?” The man replied aloud, “the name is Griswold, and that,” Griswold turned his head to face the lady, “is my wife, Hanna”. Dominion had only been in this village for a couple of minutes before being sent out for materials by the local blacksmith. Dominion did not mind doing a chore in exchange for better equipment, especially the kind which held the difference between life and death. Dominion left Griswold and Hanna to adventure into the mountain forests. As he broke through the light wall of trees, he became accustomed to the various noises within. A bird sounded in alarm to Dominion’s presence. He looked up at the sky, which was covered slightly by a lighter dense canopy. He lowered his face to eye level in order to begin the search. There must be someone else in this forest enveloped land, but Dominion was unaccustomed to tracking without sight. Dominion realized that he had to be the prey in order to attract the hunter from where it hid. Dominion purposefully walked carelessly up the mountainside. Suddenly the original sound of the forest became still. No sound from the birds or insects, which were apparently the indigenous species, could be heard. Dominion braced himself before the sudden strike from behind.

[Dominion 0]

When he braced himself, he fell into a battle stance with both his legs slightly bent, a well known stance to the monks of the monastery. He heard the echo of the fast paced steps, which seemed to be from all directions. Dominion took a very quick glace around the environment to see if there was any objects impeding a battle. There was nothing apparent to him that would cause issues in a fight, so Dominion lowered his body, then flexed his quads so to thrust his entire body into the air. Dominion was very much lucky with the timing to jump because the Dark Elf had thrown a punch in his direction. However, that well prepared punch only hit the air where Dominion had just stood. Dominion returned combat with his fist, as he had not prepared his great axe for this adventure. He was back flipping over the Dark Elf and brought his hand down on the Dark Elf's collar bone.  Dominion was mostly moving on instinct, staying light on his feet. From what he could see, this fight would be mostly be hand to hand combat. This was where Dominion seemed to have the upper hand, but he did not want to underestimate the enemy who Dominion knew nothing about.

Dominion landed his attack against the Dark Elf's collar bone, doing a small amount of damage to its health bar. Dominion was ready to react to anything that the enemy would do. The Dark Elf suddenly turned his body around and faced towards Dominion, striking out with a fist, but got tripped up with his feet. Dominion prepared for this attack by placing his left knee out like a table, allowing the body of the Dark Elf to land on it. Dominion took his hand and shaped it to be just his palm. As the Dark Elf laid there for a couple seconds, Dominion slammed his palm against the neck of the Dark Elf. No noise came from the Dark Elf, but a clear critical sign arose over it's health bar. Dominion didn't dare smile, but energy seemed to flow through his body like never before. This battle had been absolutely silent, as if there was no battle ensuing to begin with.

Dominion retracted his knee back to his body, allowing the body of the Dark Elf to hit the ground. Dominion got back into his stance, fully knowing that the Dark Elf would be more careful to Dominions next attack. As the Dark Elf got up from the ground, he turned to face Dominion with a shimmer of light reflecting off of the skin. Dominion was surprised when he noticed the ear was pointed in an irregular form. Dominion was tempted to ask the enemy, but before he got the chance, the Dark Elf sprang into action. Contorting it's body violently in a twisted manor, the Dark Elf was facing directly at Dominion again, and thrust off the ground with one foot and an arm drawn back. Dominion moved in fluent action to prevent any damage to either of them, which was better than Dominion taking the full brute damage of the fist.

The Dark Elf was sent with the momentum of the strike, just glancing off of Dominions hand. No damage had been done to either of them, which was exactly what Dominion had wanted. The Dark Elf put both feet down in front of him, slowing the movement forward significantly. This choice of action could cause some later problems with the footwear, but obviously that was not a present issue. Dominion had little time to move his stance 180 degrees before the Dark Elf had started it's next charge. Dominion needed to do the same thing in order to prevent future problems. Putting his hands up, Dominion received the full strike, but absorbed most of the momentum of the Dark Elf. This gave the Dark Elf perfect position to strike at Dominion's open sides. Oh great, looks like I just put myself in a bad position.

Dominion needed some time in order to think quick. So, using a sudden thought that popped into his head, Dominion stepped backwards to try and absorb another punch from the Dark Elf, only to be hit in the jaw. Dominion didn't move back, as his stance gave him solid footing. He could feel the small amount of pain on his face, something that happened all too often in the real world. A small amount of his health did drop, which made him somewhat disoriented. This was only the second time in the game in which Dominion had lost HP in battle. Dominion shook his head to regain composure and struck with his left arm at the jaw of his opponent. The Dark Elf almost was not able to keep with the immediate retaliated strike. However, Dominion's arm did get stopped just short of contact with the Dark Elf's jaw. The Dark Elf threw back Dominion's arm and prepared for another attack on Dominion. He only had time to put both arms up to block an attack aimed towards his face.

Dominion put both of his arms up the instant that the Dark Elf attacked Dominion, managing to throw a fist towards his face. Dominion felt the contact of the hand against his face, as he managed to trap the hand between both arms. Pain seared against his skin as he could feel his health bar lower again, but realized that he recovered from the previous attack rather well. The Dark Elf suddenly gave a panicked expression, which gave away the problem to Dominion. He really made a stupid decision. Dominion spun his arms that were applying pressure to the Dark Elf's arm, twisting the Dark Elf into submission. Dominion remembered his action from Domarus that day when they were attacked by the silver warrior. Dominion could not be Domarus, and so he let the Dark Elf go. A critical sign arose above the health bar, which surprised Dominion. This battle was almost over already... only he needed to stay focused longer that he currently was.

Dominion was so focused on the critical success that he got from a basic attack that he didn't notice the sudden movement of the Dark Elf. The Dark Elf had moved quickly to the right side, lifting his other arm into the air. Recoiling his left arm back, the Dark Elf strides froward with Dominion's head as the target. Dominion turned in time, hearing the movements beside him, to realize the attack was happening, but he was only able to move a different part of his body in front of the attack. He lifted his own right arm in exchange, blocking the full force of the attack. He could feel the attack bring his HP down again by a rather significant amount, only to be suddenly restored. That is when Dominion remembered that he had tampered with his skills, and must have done something weird but useful. He seemed to be regaining HP's that were lost after each oncoming attack.

The combat was still quiet, but clearly the battle was no longer formal. The Dark Elf was fighting for it's life and so was Dominion. However, Dominion knew how scared he would be if this fight was going much differently. The Dark Elf had just made a decent attack on Dominion, but then made a childish attack by following up with a upper-cut. This seemed to be a typical fighting move in North America, as Dominion saw it used in that place all the time. Dominion easily dodged that attack and tried to get out his great axe. As he began to swipe the menu open, the Dark Elf made a strike at Dominion's hand. Dominion stepped back a foot and fell into the monastery stance again. That attack was only to provoke Dominion to keep his mind on the fight and not focus on something else. He had to put this fight to an end soon.

Dominion stayed focused as the Dark Elf began to calm down. Focusing on the leg, Dominion thrusts his arm down to knock the Dark Elf off balance. However, the Dark Elf was already behind him, as he grabbed Dominion's hand and pulled him out of his stance. The Dark Elf apparently used the momentum of the strike to allow Dominion the access to knock himself off. The Dark Elf proceeded to punch Dominion's side as he fell into the dirt ground hard. Dominion could not shrug this pain off so easily, as there seemed to be more damage delt to him. When he looked at his own health, he could tell that the damage, however powerful as it was, seemed to heal back before anything significant could be done. Apparently whatever I got as a second skill is really good. I don't think I even have to attack in order to stay alive in this battle. Even so, Dominion began to put his arms above his head as he lay on the ground.

Dominion raised his arms above his head as he lay there on the ground. He just pushed the ground in order to raise his torso up, just high enough to get a leg underneath him. Dominion then stood up slowly, keeping a careful eye on the Dark Elf. The Dark Elf seemed to be slightly tired, not quite at its original speed. In fact, Dominion saw an opportunity and attempted to take it. Dominion suddenly turned over his left shoulder and made a hard fist attack with his right hand. The hand passed through the arms of the Dark Elf to make contact against its sternum. The Dark Elf seemed slightly stunned by the attack, which gave Dominion just enough time to get out of reach again. It looks like I only need a couple more fist attacks like that in order to finish this battle. Dominion kept himself light on both of his feet for the next attack.

Dominion pivoted his body to the right as the Dark Elf came in to his range. Dominion let the momentum carry the Dark Elf away from his as he threw a punch to the side, dealing a small amount of damage to the health bar. Dominion then fell into his stance as the Dark Elf made a second attack in which to try to redeem the first. Dominion had remained light on both his feet, and quickened to pivot his body the other direction. The incoming charge was far enough away from Dominion that he would not be able to get another clear hit. That health bar is becoming lower and lower. Only a matter of time before the health bar drops to complete zero. Then, the Dark Elf should fall over or instantly turn into that blue dust from the grass on the first floor. Dominion remained light on his feet, hoping for a couple more successful fist attacks.

The combat that remained in the forest mountains ensued. Dominion was getting one successful hit every occasion as the Dark Elf continued to charge. This Dark Elf apparently could use both arms to make fist attacks, but greatly preferred its left arm. Dominion then changed his stance in order to better counter this type of attack from his worthy opponent. Dominion noticed slight changes in the Dark Elf's attacks as if it was changing to become more accurate after every miss. Can the so called NPC's learn from there misses and hits against an opponent? That may be too much to assume, but definitely not an impossibility. Dominion shrugged the idea aside as the Dark Elf made another attack at his torso. Dominion tried to make an attack of his own, launching a quick fist attack from underneath the Dark Elf's arm, but both players missed the intended target by a small margin.

Dominion was becoming more riskful in the battle because the odds were so much in his favor. Dominion stopped taking the attacks and decided to make his own. The Dark Elf made a charge on Dominion while he was still standing in place. However, when he reached closer to Dominion, Dominion remained where he stood and took the hit! The punch landed right against his chest, where his HP dropped. However, his HP jumped back up to nearly full, right as he made a quick movement with his own hands. The Dark Elf was very much startled by this and moved its own hands just in time. Dominion did not land a successful hit, but he made the fight more on his own side. Dominion slammed the enemies hands both down and thought to himself, At any moment, this fight will be over. Dominion lifted his right arm to make a solid strike at the Dark Elf's face.

Dominion made a obvious show for his attack, hoping that the enemy would realize how basic it was and permit it to happen. Dominion did not realize how easy that would be since this simple act made the Dark Elf create it's own critical move. Dominion slammed his arm against the torso of the Dark Elf, which seemed to harm it a little. The health bar above the Dark Elf was lower than it had been, so low that it looked like the Dark Elf would be dead by the next hit. However, the Dark Elf used this to grab hold of the arm and strike at Dominion's side. A flare of pain went up his right side as the left leg of the Dark Elf hit against his torso again and again in quick succession. Dominion got out of the attack zone long enough to heal some of the damage dealt, only to rejoin the fight. Only a little bit more damage, and this battle will be over. Just a little bit more...

Dominion thought to himself as the Dark Elf made an attack. This attack was a charge with the left arm at Dominion's face. Dominion allowed the close combat to ensue long enough. Allowing the Dark Elf to make a closer attack, Dominion received some damage. However, Dominion grabbed the arm of the Dark Elf and suddenly made 50 strikes against the stomach of the Dark Elf. Each attack was insignificant enough for the Dark Elf not to feel the attack, but did just enough total damage to end the fight. Dominion saw the eyes of his enemy as his body began to disintegrate into many blue squares. "Thanks for the opportunity to fight you, as you put up quite the fight." Dominion said as the Dark Elf vanished from existence.  "Now, without further stops, I must return to the local blacksmith with the materials." Dominion bent down to pick up a thing labeled materials. He added this to his inventory.
