[F1-SP] <<The First Few Lessons Are Free>> The First Step

[Astreya 0]

After the second one, Astreya had been hoping against hope that she was able to just find the rest of them with relative ease, but it seemed that such wasn't going to be the case.  Looking around from where she'd found that second one, she didn't see any others in any close proximity.  Frowning, she glanced back toward the city, and she took a single, hesitating step back toward it.  It was like a safety blanket for her, really.

She didn't stray too far from the city wall, and began to make her way back towards it, setting her hand on the wall once more.  "Okay, so I've got two of these... and I need three more.  So I'm still not even halfway done," she muttered under her breath.  This quest was turning out to be a lot longer than she had thought it would- but she would still see it through to the end.

She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts about the situation that she almost very nearly missed another one of the herbs.  She was busy considering what she would need to do next that she almost missed what she needed to do now.  Thankfully, she had nearly dropped her paper that had the image of the herb on it and as her thoughts came rushing back to the present as she desperately attempted to grab it out of the air, she realized there was one sitting just in front of her.  

"Oh awesome!  This side must have been the better side.  All right, that makes three," the woman spoke, giving a happy little sound of excitement as she knelt down, pulling it up by the roots and placing it in the bag with the others.  "Okay.  So two more left.  How long could that possibly take?" she asked.

"Wait, wait.  Is that... another one?" she called out, realizing that there was another one growing just inches from the first one.  That was... what were the chances of that?  Especially after all of the frustration she had getting to this point so far, she couldn't barely believe her luck that she had found two so close to one another!  "This is how that quest is supposed to go, I'm sure," the girl called out to no one in particular, mostly just unable to stop her own excitement.

She moved to kneel down, puling up the plant by its roots as well, ensuring that the whole thing came up before she shook off the excess dirt and placed it into her bag.  Okay.  So she had four of these.  "One more and then I can be done with this stupid quest," she called out, before continuing her trek.

She paused as she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye, nestled away in the stump of an old tree that was near the wall surrounding the Town of Beginnings.  It looked like a treasure chest, but there was no way that someone had overlooked it, right?  Especially not so close to the city.  Still, she couldn't help but to get her hopes up a little as she came closer to it, noting that it was still closed.

With excitement, she reached a hand forward, hesitating for a moment before she began to lift the lid tentatively... as if she expected the whole thing to just explode.  It wasn't like she had any way to disarm traps, so she'd just have to hope it didn't kill her.  But as she opened it, she realized that it was just as she had expected.  Empty.  "Damn," she muttered, frowning.

But, as she was about to actually turn away and leave, she saw something next to that same stump, and this was a little more exciting.  She realized that she'd found another (and the last!) of the herbs.  "Awesome!" she called as she managed to get this one up as well, placing it in the bag with the rest of its brethren.  "That makes five and so Ris is done!" she called out, lifting her hands up over her head in celebration.

Not wanting to linger too long on that, the girl took a step back before glancing to the empty treasure chest.  "If only you had something cool, this would have been a better finale to this whole thing.  Oh well.  At least you led me to the last herb," she commented to the treasure chest, patting its lid fondly before she began to skip slightly, making her way back to town.

Astreya had barely taken a step when she heard noises from all around her, and the girl paused, swallowing.  Glancing over her shoulder, she saw a few small, grimy-looking creatures that were emerging from bushes and other such things, and before long they had surrounded her.  She blinked, glancing back to that treasure chest before she scowled.  "You guys probably put that there to ambush whatever adventurer came this way, didn't you?" she asked, pointing a finger at the goblins, who gave a maddening cackle in response to her.

She swallowed slightly as she shifted, pulling the large two-handed blade from her back.  She remembered what Zack had told her about how combat was supposed to work, and what the Sword Arts were.  He'd gone so far as to make sure she understood how to use them, and so it seemed like this was going to be the first time that they were going to be needed.

She took her stance, holding it briefly before she suddenly darted to the side, catching all four of the grimy little buggers off-guard as she made her way toward the town's wall.  "I just need to put my back against it, like so," she called out as she spun smartly on her heel, keeping the four creatures in front of her.  "Now you can't all gang up on me at once, you jerks," she called out at the group of them, earning another sound of laughter.

The young woman shifted her stance slightly, holding her weapon before she glanced toward the nearest one.  Here went nothing!  She slung her blade forward in a somewhat awkward swing, but managed to catch the nearest one, causing it to cry out, and she actually managed to use its body to stop the second from attacking her, but the third and fourth goblins got in close, slashing at her with their claw-like fingers!

Combat!

Once the attacks from the other two goblins has struck her, the girl's armor flashed, sending out a backlash of energy toward them, causing both of the goblins to screech in surprise.  Astreya had figured she was going to be taking a lot of damage but... honestly for the most part she hadn't taken that much at all.  Her boyfriend had gotten this battledress for her before everything had happened, and it seemed like it was actually... pretty decent, overall.  

Still, she was a little shaken from actually being struck, and she turned, wildly swinging at one of the goblins that had attacked her, but her weapon went wide, unable to land a hit.  They had circled around her and one of them had lashed out with its weapon- the one she'd hit, actually, and between her attack and the counter damage on her armor, the goblin went down, as did another one.  Her wide swing prevented the one she was attacking from attacking her, and she accidentally parried another goblin's attack.

The girl stumbled a half-step with her weapon, but noticed that now two of the creatures were down.  "Okay... okay.  This isn't too bad," she muttered under her breath, adjusting the grip on her weapon for a moment.  She looked at the one that was so-far uninjured and not damaged from her attacks, and she gave a small grunt as she hurtled herself forward, swinging wildly at the little grimy monster, just wanting this to be over with.

As she swung, the creature gave a cry of pain and she realized she hit it- only for it to swing back against her again and then there was a cry of pain from the creature from her armor's retribution, leaving her facing the fourth and final one that was looking pretty rough at the moment.  "Just me and you," she spoke, adjusting her breathing a bit as she glared on at the creature.

The girl was now just in a duel with the lone remaining goblin.  The other three had gone down pretty easily, in all honesty so she didn't figure this one would give her any guff.  She shifted her stance slightly as she readied herself before she leapt forward, bringing her weapon in a high, overhand strike down toward the creature in an attempt to really cut it down to size!

However, this one was a bit more wily than its brothers and as she swung, it used its claws to dig at the gaps in her armor, the girl grunting in pain as the attacks hit, and she could see that somehow it had managed to avoid getting into her Thorns, which was annoying.  The blow she had dealt to it and her Thorns both could have easily ended this fight, but it seemed that she was going to have to go another round.  Or two.

She readied herself for another round with this wily little goblin as she twisted herself around into a whirling strike, aiming to see if she could just cut this little gremlin down to size!  However, her movements were a little bit too wild for what she needed to do, and she twisted herself around a bit too much, the weapon missing the goblin entirely, which led to it just waiting and watching for the perfect moment before it managed to dig its claws into her back, and the woman hissed in pain again.

She was glad that the armor prevented damage like it did, otherwise this would have been going much much worse.  She managed to right herself after a moment, glaring at the little creature who had gnashed its teeth at her, seeming to try and taunt her somewhat.  Unfortunately for Astreya, it worked, and she lifted her weapon overhead again!

She shot forward toward the goblin, and as it readied itself to stab her once more with its gross little claws, this time she lifted her foot, slamming it into the goblin's face, the sick grin on its features turning into a frown as the girl's plated foot slammed into its nose.  The creature was forced backward and it was then that she finished her overhand strike, bringing the weapon down into the creature's neck and shoulder.  "Take that!" she called out toward it.

The little monster hissed and hopped back away, not even bothering to try and swing again after that.  It reached up a hand to its wounded trapezius muscle, pulling away some yellowish-red blood before chattering at Astreya in its own language.  It was probably pissed off, but honestly, she was too.  She was still fighting this thing when it should have gone down by now!  What nerve!

The creature was still up, but it was definitely on its last legs as she moved forward, swinging her weapon wildly at the goblin.  She had no idea if one of these were going to hit, but as long as at least one of them did, it would go down and she'd be free to just go about her business in doing this quest.  She'd actually almost forgotten that fact, but it she had suddenly remembered as she whirled her blade like a dervish... and only then realized the goblin was down.

Looking around at the carnage, she panted slightly, looking at the four slain creatures, before she shakily sheathed her sword again.  "I guess... I did it.  I didn't think I could, but..." she began, before she couldn't help a small smile on her features.  "Okay!  That wasn't so bad!  Monsters or not, I can make it to the front lines!"

She exhaled as she looked at the four forms, before beginning to gather the loot that had come from the goblins, before she cocked her head a little to the side.  She couldn't really tell what any of this did.  "Oh well, I'll figure it out later."  She didn't bother with trying to figure all of that out for the moment.  That was neither here nor there, as far as she was concerned.  She had bigger fish to fry, and by fish, she meant herbs, and by fry, she meant deliver.

The woman moved back around the edge of the wall until she reached the front gate, and nodded to both of the guards as she came back in.  By now, her health and her energy were fully back and she wasn't really all that worried... but the fact that she was now back inside the town was a relief.

"Okay, now I just need to take all these back to Zakariah," the woman spoke, mostly to remind herself exactly what she was needing to do at the moment.  The woman's footsteps followed the familiar path back toward the shop, glancing around a bit as she did so.  She hadn't ever really ventured outside of the walls for awhile, just doing small, odd jobs now and then to get enough to eat and find a place to rest and all that, but now she was looking at needing to actually have things to do.  

She exhaled slightly- maybe she should go and do more fighting outside the walls more often?  She needed to level up, so maybe ti was a good idea for her to do that.  The woman considered for a moment before she shook her head.  She'd get to that later, as she reached a hand up to knock on Zakariah's door.

A moment later, the kind-looking older fellow opened it, and a smile moved over his features.  "Ah-ha, you're back.  Did you have any trouble?" he asked, mostly just making small talk as he stepped back, allowing her inside.

"Yes, I totally did," Astreya commented as she shut the door behind her as she followed him.  "I couldn't find these herbs anywhere.  It took me forever to gather them," she muttered, before she handed over the small bag of them to him, and Zakariah began to take them out, looking through the herbs that she had gathered.  "I think I got all the right ones."

"You did, you did.  Well done.  Now it is time to move onto the next part that I will need your assistance with.  We need to use these herbs to craft a healing potion.  Are you ready?"

Astreya paused, looking at him.  "Wait.  What? You want me to help?"

"Well of course.  You took the time to gather these herbs.  Let us see about having you make a potion, hm?  Surely you've done some of the crafts around town, right?" the man asked, and Astreya paused, looking back at him.  The old man gave a small, almost nervous smile at the woman's lack of a response.  "I suppose not, then.  Well, I will be more than happy to walk you through all of the steps.  It's good to learn new tasks," the man spoke, giving the woman a smile.

"I mean, I guess you're right.  I was just expecting to drop these off and go about my way, but we might as well," the woman spoke as she began to roll up her sleeves.  "I don't know the first thing about this, but I'm going to follow your lead!" she called over to Zakariah, who nodded, ready to teach.

Despite the fact that Zakariah was coaching her, Astreya felt like she was doing everything very wrong.  But all the same, he was a gentle teacher, and walked her through each step with a patience and understanding that she wished she would have ever gotten from her teachers back in school.  But as they came to the final steps, he took a step back, allowing her to finish things up, and as she did, the woman gave a small sound.  "I think it's done?" she asked, not entirely sure.

"Let me take a look," the older man spoke, moving back over toward her and beginning to examine the potion that she had made.  "I do believe it's done.  Not only that, but you've done a rather spectacular job with it.  Not perfect, but this was your first try and a very well done try at that," the man spoke, giving her a smile.

Astreya couldn't help but to feel a sort of giddy sense rising up in her stomach and a small cheer came from her lips as she lifted both hands up into the air in her excitement.  "Yay!" she called out, before she looked back at him "So what does that mean now?  Is the quest completed?" she asked, glancing back at the older fellow, not sure exactly what would come next in this quest.  It seemed like there were a lot more steps than expected.

"Well, not quite," the man spoke as he began to examine the various potions that she had made, moving them over toward a rack for the glass bottles set into his cupboard, ensuring that they were all set up properly and had no chances of falling.  Once they were secure, he turned back toward her with a smile.  "There is one last task to complete."

She supposed that she shouldn't have been surprised.  Granted, one more task probably wasn't going to be a big deal.  With any luck, the last task would be to go and beat up four goblins, and she'd already done that, so she wouldn't need to worry about having to do it.  Unless the game didn't have any sort of way to track what she had already done, in which case she might have to go out and fight some more goblins.  "I'd really rather not go back out and beat up more goblins," she spoke, looking to Zakariah with a genuine, earnest expression on her face.

The old man blinked, and he paused for a long moment before a small laugh came from his lips.  "Unfortunately my dear, I'm not sure what you're referring to," he spoke, and it was then that Astreya realized that he had never actually said anything about goblins.
