Quest Ending Description:

1. (Morgiana is a part of your party) - "We're here..." muttered Morgiana as you face the stone entrance. From the distance you hear a clapping sound; Ali makes his appearance from behind you with a very sober expression. He smiles at you and draws closer: "Judging from the lack of thieves presence on my way here, you guys did a fine job in defending my name and I'm proud to call you my friends. Even more! You managed to find the Cave of Wonders on your own." This quest stance ends there as the Quest Ending Window pops in front of you, displaying your hard earned rewards.
2. (Morgiana is not in your party) - As you stand in front of the supposed cave entrance blocked by massive stone, Ali comes from behind you. "You managed to get all the way here." he looks around the asks you with a puzzled expression: "But where's Morgiana?" Whatever you tell him the truth or not, it doesn't matter as he will rudely interrupt you saying: "Ah she'll get here. Now how about we take a good look inside. I've only been here once with Cassin but we we're found out by the Thief King and we didn't get a chance to explore it all." This quest stance ends there as the Quest Ending Window pops in front of you, displaying your hard earned rewards.

 

Recommended Level: 35
Parties or Groups of players are recommended and encouraged.

Credits: Morgiana is based on the character with the same name from the 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic' manga series written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka.

It was a cool night on the 13th floor, the barren wasteland was nothing short of dull and boring, and he wouldn't be on this floor unless he had to. The Third Night had arrived, and he knew that he needed to take it for both the col and the SP, and to redeem himself for what happened on the first night. He appeared on the floor to the meeting point of the nearby Inn, and he soon saw Ali, and a girl that he hadn't met before. He came over to the two with a small wave

"Hello Ali! It's been a good while." He said with a small smile as he approached. The NPC just took a chug of his drink and gave Hikoru a small grin as he stood "Slander!" He screamed with all his might. Hikoru was confused, but he turned to the girl who looked downright embarrased from him "I hope you can forgive him, ever since you found him that mask he's been drinking up a storm with the money he made off of it." He gave a nod and sat down with the two to chat about the mission

Hikoru sat and ordered a drink from a passing waiter and gave him the col ahead of time, and looked back at the girl and Ali, whom seemed to sober up in the last few seconds since he had sat down. He crosses his fingers together in a business-like fashion and was ready to talk about this, and hopefully get what information he could. Ali leaned in, so no-one but him, Hikoru and the girl could hear him, as he didn't want others to be listening in on their conversation.

"This is Morgiana, a family member of mine." He said, introducing her in a hushed tone "But I require your services once more. There are floating rumors about us, lies from the bandits. Would you mind taking care of them for me? There is also a rumor going around about a cave-creature near their camp. Check that out if you would." Hikoru listened and nodded, as the Quest window popped up. He clicked accept and Ali gave a small smile "Glad you can friend." He said as he took another swig of the bottle.

[Hikoru 0]

As his drink arrived, Ali gave a burp as Morgiana just hid her face from the others, embarrassed by her brother's actions. She eyes Hikoru suspiciously, feeling somewhat uneasy as she looked at him. Something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She shrugged it off for now as she looked at Ali and made sure that he wasn't drowning in his own drool or puke, then looked back at Hikoru and pulling out a map from her pocket

"The area of the bandits is here, and the rumored cave entrance" She said, drawing a path "Should be around this area" She said as she pointed a large circle in an area nearby. Hikoru gave a nod of understanding and she nodded back, putting the map away. "Alright, let's head out. Stay here until I send you a message Ali." She said, and Ali just raised his bottle in response and took another chug. Morgiana just sighed and looked at Hikoru, who was finishing his drink "Come on, let's get this over-with."

[Hikoru 0]

Hikoru followed as Morgiana lead the way there, and he knew that today would be a long day indeed. He didn't know how many bandits would have to be killed, or how long it would take to find the cave entrance, but he did know that Morgiana would be able to help out with both of these, which would make it a bit easier. He stretched and prepared to fight by loosening up, while Morgiana eyed him over her shoulder, still unsure of why she didn't trust him

"Care to tell me a bit about yourself Hikoru?" She asked, and Hikoru gave a nod "Of course. I am the Master of Shadows, Grandmaster of both the Dagger and of Stealth, and im one of the strongest players in this ga- I mean, On the Frontlines." He said, making sure to not confuse the NPC and possibly break her, untimately ruining his Quest. She looked confused for a moment, but just nodded in response and kept walking forward, Hikoru following quietly as the Bandit camp came over the horizon

[Hikoru 0]

Hikoru gave a small sigh as they approached the camp, and soon bandits surrounded them. There were only four, so he knew that the two of them could take them out easily. He looked at the NPC-girl and gave her a smile and a thumbs up, flawlessly unsheathing his dagger and charging forward, attacking the bandit flawlessly without a hitch and taking a chunk. The girl watched the stealth player curiously, unsure as if to trust him. He was there when her brother had dissapeared, and Ali wouldn't tell her anything about it. She awaited for him to finish his attack, then went forward and did a small AoE Attack to the bandits. The hate was instantly drawn to her, and the bandits looked at her and attacked, dealing only minimal damage to her and soon retreating, awaiting their next chance to attack.

Hikoru charged forward and stuck the bandit again, causing him to fumble back and land on the ground, unable to attack. He would be finished off soon, and the three other bandits went for Morgiana, who was too focused on Hikoru to notice them. The boy had skill, she would give him that, but she still didn't trust him. What was her brother trying to hide about this young man? Sure they needed his strength for the creatures around here, but she was sure they could have hired someone else. Her thoughts were interupted with the slice in front of her face, and she moved quickly out of the way of the other two bandits who tried to hit. She had to be focused at this moment. She would question him later, but for now she needed to get these bandits out of the way and fast.

Hikoru moved swiftly, awaiting for the bandit to turn his back and then attacked, bringing it down to just a sliver of health remaining. He gave a small smile and returned to Morgiana, who looked at him in disgust. Only a fool or a coward would attack a man while his back is turn, and turned back to the bandits, going for an attack, but was unable to as the other bandits went to attack her as she did, and she was too busy dodging their daggers to be able to focus on attacking. She sighed and returned from where she was, coming back to a somewhat frustrated-looking Hikoru. He didn't understand why she was missing her attacks so much, but he wouldn't say anything. He just re-adjusted his glasses and gripped his dagger tighter, deciding to put his focus onto the second bandit and leave the first one to Morgiana to finish off, as he was trying to get this done as swiftly as possible.

Hikoru went to attack the bandit again, but the sand underneath him shifted, and his foot sunk as he went to attack, causing him to fumble and fall face first into the sand. His head came up and sand poured from out of his mouth as he struggled to get the sand out. Both the bandits nor Morgiana struck their attacks- because they were too busy laughing at Hikoru bouncing around trying to get the sand out of his mouth. Once Hikoru did however, he glared daggers at the Bandits and spoke lowly and slowly

"If you want to live a little while longer than you already are, I suggest you shut it." And soon the Bandits stopped as they realized he was serious. Morgiana didn't like this turn of events with Hikoru's mood, and her gut instinct told her to not trust him. She stopped laughing and eyes him suspiciously, unsure if he really was a kind man as he had lead on to be.

The bandits moved swiftly, going for an attack on the unsuspecting Morgiana and soon dealing a few points of damage and stunning her. She fell to the ground, unable to move but still tried to attack, but to no avail. Hikoru moved forward in a fit of rage as he used a Shadowed Path sword art and soon dissapeared, turning into a column of shadow and soon disappearing from sight. Both Morgiana and the group of bandits looked around in confusion, wondering where he had disappeared to. Soon Hikoru appeared, surrounding them with a shadow-like aura of slashes that soon hit all of them. The word critical never appeared above any of their heads but was a disappointment, but the bleed and paralysis icons appeared above their health bars, and they all soon fell to the ground. Hikoru gave a smile and prepared to attack all of them once more.

Hikoru moved and stuck the second bandit with a bunch of slices and attacks, bringing his health down rapidly. The two other bandits stood slowly, but the bandit that was just attacked stayed down, the Paralysis still staying on him. He gave a small smile as the word "CRITICAL" appeared above the bandits head. He looked back and moved to Morgiana, helping her up. She struggled against the young man and threw him off, brushing off the dirt and sand that was around them. She balled her fists and prepared to attack. Hikoru realized that one of the bandits was looking at him, and he remembered that he had just gained hate from the bandit. He sighed and prepared for some possible damage, and gripped his dagger and awaited for his chance to strike, slowly going in a circle and eyeing for an opening from the bandits.

Hikoru breathed and watched as Morgiana dodged the attacks of the bandits easily, and she took the oppertunity to deal damage to all of them with a kick, and they all fell back onto the ground. The man he had been attacking started to get up, and he knew now was the chance to attack. He moved and dissapeared again, surrounding them with shadowed slashes, and they all took a small amount of damage. He sighed. His energy was starting to get low, and he needed to take a break for a moment. Soon the bandits stayed down, and Hikoru looked over

"I need to recover my energy. I'll be back, just hold them off." He said. She looked and raised her eyebrow, but nodded, letting him know that she could do it. Hikoru breathed and prepared to enter the shadows to regain his energy, hoping that Morgiana would be okay, because it would take a few rounds for him to have his Energy regained.

Hikoru breathed and ran away quickly, dissapearing into the night as he soon entered stealth. Morgiana raised her eyebrow in suspicion, but attacked one of the Bandits with a weak Sword Art. She hadn't bothered using her best attacks because she knew that Hikoru, her companion should have been able to take them all easily. Ali spoke so highly of him, but here he was running away. She finally came to a decision. She needed answers, and she would beat them out of the player if she needed to. She wasn't afraid of him, as he seemed like a pansy that couldn't take a fit as far as she could see. The bandits started to stand again and she sighed, flipping a piece of hair out of her eyes. For now though, she would have to hold her own against these bandits, which after their performance so far, it seemed like a pretty easy thing to do.

Hikoru entered stealth after running away. 1/3 Posts until Energy regen.

Hikoru watched the battle progress. His energy was filling slowly, but he knew it would be a bit before it was finally re-filled, but he knew that Morgiana would be fine. He sighed and awaited on the outskirts of their field of vision, watching closely. Morgiana moved forward as she struck her enemies, dealing a small amount of damage to all her foes. But her foes reacted quickly, dealing a small chunk of damage to her as well, making the playing field seem a bit even. The bandits took a bit more bleed damage, the icon disappeared from their name, and Hikoru sighed. He needed more DoT damage, and he would have to try to see if he could find a better item for sale in a shop somewhere, but it did it's job for now. Morgiana seemed to be holding herself well, so he wasn't worried too much. But for now, he would need to wait for his energy to regenerate before he was of any use to the two of them.

Morgiana moved quickly, attacking the second bandit and finishing it off quickly. The other two bandits moved quickly and did their best to deal damage to her. They dealt a Critical, and dealt Bleed damage to her once more. She breathed and backed away. The player hadn't returned yet, and she didn't like that. Did he abandon her? It was possible, and as far as she knew, it could be something that he usually did. But little did she know that Hikoru was close by, preparing to attack the nearest Bandit. He knew that his Sneak Attack mod would come into play as soon as he attacked, and he would land his attack easily. He didn't know if he would finish him off, but he would deal a good chunk of damage, probably enough for Morgiana to finish it off if she attacked it correctly. He breathed and concentrated, preparing to attack the bandit and come back into the fray of battle.

Hikoru charged forward, striking the Bandit from the side and knocking him over, slashing and slicing rapidly and depleting his health rapidly. Morgiana was completely surprised by this and screamed out loud, falling flat onto her butt. The bandits tried to take this oppertunity to attack her, but she still had her wits and moved quickly, dodging their attacks and looking at the young player with a bit of anger in her eyes, and came over and pushed him in his chest.

"Don't scare me like that! Let me know when you're going to do something as stupid as that! I could have hit you by accident!" She screamed at him. Hikoru looked at her with a bit of a shock, and wasn't entirely sure why she was so angry at him. He just shrugged in apology and held his hands in defense as he waited for her to calm down, and she sighed and turned around, focusing her attention back to the bandits. Hikoru breathed and did so as well, preparing to strike again.

After moving away from Morgiana, Hikoru moved and attacked the Bandit with the highest health, bringing it down a ways with a satisfactory smile. Things had gone well for him. Other than having to retreat to bring his energy back, he hadn't taken a point of damage, and Morgiana seemed to be taking the damage well. Her health had a bit of a drop in it, but it wasn't anything that he could fix after this fight. Morgiana on the other hand was irritated with Hikoru. Leaves her to die, then instantly comes back from nowhere? Something was wrong with this boy. He had way too many connections to Cassain's death, and she would get to the bottom of this, even if it meant killing him in the process. She attacked the bandits and dealt some damage to him. She would give him a full force attack when these two were gone, and then she would find out the truth of her brother's death, and put an end to the childish nonsense her brother caused when trying to avoid the question.

Hikoru hit the same bandit again, and brought his health down to the low orange. He was almost done, then he could continue onwards with Morgiana onto their quest. He gave a small smile as Morgiana moved forward, hitting the Bandits and easily finishing off the third one, and leaving the last one with really, really low health. He watched as the Bandit went to try and hit Morgiana, but she nimbly evaded the attack, expecting it. They had easily finished off this band of bandits, but it did take a lot longer than he had planned. He didn't complain though. He would have enough time to look for the cave after this, and he hoped that he would be able to get to know the NPC a bit more, as he quite enjoyed her company. But he couldn't tell that Morgiana was seething with rage that seemed to come from nowhere. She needed to know the truth, and she needed it now. As soon as the player finished off this last bandit, she would hit him, and hit him hard. She needed to know the truth, and she would do anything she needed to do to kill it.

Hikoru attacked the last bandit quickly, using a weaker Sword-Art to finish him off, and he smiled proudly as he did. Things had gone smoothly, and he was happy with how things came out. Morgiana realized her time to strike, and went for an attack at Hikoru, aiming a full-forced attack towards him. Hikoru heard her stepping, and soon dodged her attack easily. She fell and tripped as he moved, not expecting for him to move that quickly. She got up quickly, then pointed a finger at him accusingly. She wasn't happy with this, and she needed to know.

"I need answers... What happened to Cassain? What happened that night? You tell me or I kill you!" She said seriously. Hikoru looked at her, and his eyes started to swell with emotion. He breathed and wiped his eyes, then cleared his throat. "I... I killed him that night. In a foolish act of greed for the ring he had found.... I am sorry. I regret my actions for what i've done." He said in sorrow. Her heart skipped a beat as he spoke. She had been right. This player had killed her brother, for a ring. She grit her teeth and held her hand out. She knew what she wanted, and he knew as well

"The ring. Give it, and I will spare you..." She said through her anger-filled eyes and grit teeth. Hikoru opened up his HUD and chose the item, holding it out in his hand, giving it to her sadly. "Keep it... And i'm sorry..." He said, lowering his head. She pocketed the ring and looked at the boy, sending him a duel request quickly, and he raised his eyebrow in confusion. She looked at him as she put on some new armor "While I said I would spare you, I will fight you to teach you a lesson." She said quietly. He agreed with it and pressed accept as he studied her new armor

Hikoru awaited for the timer to end, then as it went off, he made his first move. He sprinted towards her, tears streaming as he went for a strike, but Morgiana nimbly dodged it. She went for a quick punch, but Hikoru was easily able to backflip out of the way, landing on the ground gracefully. He breathed heavily, already his heart starting to pump adrenaline. Even though this was a half-health loss duel, he knew he could take some damage from her. She seemed confident in her attacks, and he knew that she was much stronger than she had let on. He breathed and knew that he would need to be on his guard. He had no clue what she had planned, but he knew that he would need to finish this fight quickly. Hopefully as painless as he could as well. He gave a sigh and prepared for his next strike, awaiting an opening to attack her.

Hikoru went for another attack, moving rapidly and going to try and attack her again. But she was too swift and dodged his attack easily, but her feet fell from underneath her, and she landed onto her back. She quickly crawled away, and Hikoru let her. He didn't want to fight, but he knew that if he wanted to continue, he would need to let her get her anger out. She would need to feel like she avenged her brother, something that he understood with Ssendom and Azide had died. He knew that pain all too well, and he knew that it didn't go away, not until you either forgave the person who did it, or fought and defeated them, avenging their life. He had witnessed both of these outcomes, and knew the struggle of both of them. She chose to use her fists, and he knew that he had to help her feel better, or else he would feel more regret then he had before.
