Acanthus 0 Posted October 10 Author #21 Share Posted October 10 (edited) It was my fault for joking with him. Why did I even do that? I don’t really do that except when I’m much more comfortable with people. The last person I joked with was Edict. The glum memory of her former friend set in. They’d barely even spent time together, so why did his absence hurt that much? “Acanthus! Snap out of it!” Eulogy yelled. The Phoenix was diving for her. She barely escaped the attack before responding with an assault of her own. In a few swings, the bird went down, screeching its final cry. Or rather, its second to last cry. Same as before, the ashes began to glow and reform. The creature’s wings burst from the pile, then the new, super-heated body. The Phoenix’s fiery breath spewed out and around the battlefield, causing more geysers to erupt all around them. Just like last time, Acanthus would put it down for good.

Acanthus 0 Posted October 10 Author #22 Share Posted October 10 (edited) The Phoenix was felled for the second (or fourth) time, and it dropped one more Hellstorm for her and Eulogy alike. The boy’s face was still scrunched with determination, same as it had been throughout the fight. “That was good,” Acanthus finally said. “I think we got a lot done.” “I agree. You’re actually not a bad fighter. When you stepped into the first fight, I thought you were a goner. No offense.” “Some taken.” Eulogy laughed. “Fair enough, but I’ll be the better man and admit I was wrong. You might even be more capable of taking the thing out by yourself than I am.” As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she appreciated the boy’s praise. It felt genuine. “I think twice is enough for me today,” Acanthus said. “Do you want to walk back to Knorlit Village together?” Eulogy shook his head. “I’ve got a few more Phoenix runs left in me. I think maybe two or three more times ought to do it. Sure you don’t want to stick around.” Two or three more? Acanthus was already exhausted. Eulogy must be built like a machine. “Thanks, but I have more crafting to get done today. This was plenty for me, thank you.” Eulogy pulled out his own spyglass, ready to track the beast. “Suit yourself. See you around.” And just like, he vanished one more time. He didn’t even ask about being friends, Acanthus thought sadly. Even though she chafed at his company a little, she couldn’t help but wish she had said something before he vanished. Acanthus shook it off. She’d probably see him again at some point. Aincrad was a small world, after all. Spoiler Recovery. Foregoing recovery roll.
