[PP-F1] The Reunion <<Dragon Hunt 1: the Emerald Hatching>>

[Ethereal 0]

Eth sighed lightly, his legs dangled lazily into the largest lake in Aincrad, ripples danced out across its surface. Across the shimmering body of water, he gazed at the other people enjoying themselves on the opposite side bank. It had taken him a long, long time and he was definitely healing but you can never fully recover from the friends and loved ones you've lost. 

He lowered his gaze as his eyes tracked a golden scaled snake slinking around nearby his left foot. The laughing players on the other side of the bank looked like they had never fought, never felt what the world could be. The wizened warrior envied them.

As the reptile lost interest, speeding away into the dark depths Eth pulled his hood down from his simple clothes. For all intents and purposes he didn't look like a fighter, there was no reason to down here unless you were trying to be flashy. A memory sprung to mind, himself showing up some spoiled brat strutting around the Floor 1 markets many moons ago. 

He smiled, genuinely, something that used to be rare but now he had grown to appreciate more, waiting for nothing in particular.

[Hydra 0]

Hydra mumbled a tune to himself as he traversed through the emerald-lit forests of the first floor. It had been too long for the spearman, today he was visiting a lake on the first floor for his own personal reasons, but in hindsight it was just a short break from crafting and questing. Letting out a slight yawn the brunette emerged from the shrubbery not far from the lake's edge, only for his eyes to be met with a more-than-average amount of players. "Huh?" For a moment he stood confused, it had never been this 'busy', what on earth had happened. Had Hydra completely lost his sense of time, it appeared that whatever this location once was, it had become a little more popular since last time.

Hydra was a friendly natured person, but even he sometimes felt as though he needed to get away from the more energetic players of sword art online. To now see them frolicking about in this once secret location, produced feelings of jealousy, anger and sadness, which all came out as the humming turning into more of a growl. Taking in a deep breath and letting out a sigh he turned his head dispelling what he could of his emotions. "Well..." Hydra glanced across to the other side of the lake, he could make out a figure but they seemed to be minding there own business. Hoisting his spear over his back he proceeded to walk to that side of the bank. The figure was hooded so the brunette couldn't make any features out, in any case he guessed they wouldn't want to be disturbed. Climbing back up the lake's bank Hydra rested his back against a tree and sat there, his eyes a deep-sad blue watched as the water shimmered in the sunlight.
