Anna reached the edge of the meadow and found herself next to the path she had been on before. She turned around and scanned the area one last time for anything she might have missed, but there was nothing to be found. She sighed. “I guess this is it then,†she said and began walking back down the path and back toward the place she’d fought the pair of Annatto.

So far Anna had found nothing, not another Annatto and not another Calendula. “This is weird,†she said as she looked around. It was then that she realized that she’d been walking down the wrong path. “Of course,†she said and shook her head. She was super glad that no one she knew was actually here to see her blunder. The woman pulled back up the area map and looked at her coordinates. Sure enough she’d been walking the wrong way.

 

 â€œWell that’s just f**king brilliant, good job Anna, “she told herself and then turned around and started walking the other way again.

After several minutes of walking Azazel was rewarded with a sign that she was back on the right path, a calendula blooming on the side of the road. “YES!†she cheered and plucked the flower carefully. It was a nearly perfect specimen. She’d found several high quality flowers and hoped that maybe the potions she’d make from them would be high quality as well.

Just as Anna had tucked the Calendula into her inventory, an Annatto came wandering into the area. She took the opportunity to draw her weapon and attack before the plant mob caught sight of her. The woman rushed at the Annatto and slashed at it. She’d caught the thing by surprise as it didn’t have a chance to lash at her. It made a sound like the last one had, but there were not reply cries. “No friends to help you huh? You’re mine!†She said as she readied for her next attack.

The Annatto had unleashed an attack on Anna just as soon as she'd attacked it. It whipped her several times as she moved in and slashed it once more with her rapier. A piece of one of the tendrils was cut away and faded into red crystals as it faded away. "One piece down... more to go," she said as she twirled her weapon and readied to move again.

Anna and the Annatto moved around each other trying to search for any opportunity that would allow one or the other to land a blow. For the woman, it seemed that no matter how much she fought, or how hard, she was still not making any progress in her skills. Now was not the time to worry about such thing however as she needed to win no matter what. Azazel went in for the attack as soon as she saw the Annatto flinch. She was not going to wait for it to make a move on her, and instead took the initiative. Trusting her rapier toward her target she meant to strike at the creature's core, however the Annatto blocked her blade with a whip of its long extensions. It then tried to hit her from behind but the woman ducked the attack and moved out of the creature's reach. It looked like she'd be dancing with another plant.

The mob moved in and used its tendril to grasp onto Azazel’s rapier. “Hey damn you!†she said as she tried to pull it back from the mob. However, the mob would not let go and instead used it’s free vine to wrap her once more and crush her body within its vicelike grip had this been the real world, she’d have lost her breath and passed out in an instant. Thank goodness this Sword Art Online, and he only way she would die is if her life counter hit zero. Even as it crushed her, it only managed to take her health down a few points.

Azazel somehow managed to free herself from the grip of the Annatto and fell to the floor. This time her landed on her hands and knees and was able to move away before the damn thing had grabbed for her again. Once she moved a safe distance from the mob, she found that she was sans weapon. Azazel searched the area frantically with her eyes and found that sh’ed dropped it right where she landed when the Annatto let her go.

 

“Well ain’t that some censored,†she cursed as she waited for the right time to rush in for her rapier.

Azazel waited for the right moment before she rushed in and picked up her rapier. The Annatto went to strike her as she did, but she ducked the whipping vine and slashed at it with her weapon. Another ribbon of tendril went flying away as it shattered and disappeared. She twirled away and watched and waited for the mob to come at her again before attacking it. Its health was down to two thirds. The woman sighed. This was going to be yet another long fight.

This was turning into a labor of love, but it needed to get done so Azazel could finally work on her damn profession, so here we go. Azazel was unfortunate in that so long had passed since she started this damn thread and now. Her writer should have chosen a smaller number of mats to go after, but being ambitious has always been something that tended to bite her in the ass so there you are. She attacked and hit, but so did the plant and it did more damage than she.

Azazel continued to fight knowing that this was going to take forever and a day, but her writer was determined to finish this damn thread today or die trying. Death would seem more likely. In this particular set of attacks, both were able to land a blow which was both lucky and unfortunate for Azazel. She ought to have waited on better armor and weapon before taking on such a loooooong freaking quest.

Azazel was wearing out. She’d been battling in this for some long that she figured that this was purgatory, and how she was going to be punished for all eternally, fighting the same damn mob for the rest of forever. She stood there panting and trying to catch her breath. It seemed the plant wasn’t doing any better as it too failed to make an attack.

 

“Getting tired too huh?†she asked it and scoffed.

 

“Good,†she spat at the thing.

Another round where they both hit, and Anna was getting tired of these close calls. She wanted this over, like yesterday… or a month ago. She reminded herself that when she was done she’d have all the mats and all the stuff she’d need to make her shop work in her favor, so she just needed to hang in there a bit longer.  Just a tiny bit longer, and she'd be done.

A crit! 

She took the plant’s life down to only a sliver left. Now all she needed to do was get lucky on her next attack and on her search so that she could obtain two materials instead of one and she’d be set! RNGesus was never kind to her however, but she was hoping that maybe, just maybe he would see fit to do her a damn solid for once in her damn time in SAO.

Seems that not even prayer would work for Azazel as both neither she nor the mob could land a hit. She was wasting energy and momentum by fighting in this manner and she was just hoping to get a damn break. That didn’t seem like it was going to happen however and so she was just going to have to keep fighting the damn thing till it was good and dead.

Azazel finally managed to hit the damn thing and she killed it off which was a wonderful thing indeed. The damn thing exploded and there on the ground along with the Achiote, was a bottle of cherry colored liquid waiting for her. “Oh bless you RNGesus!â€she cheered as she added the berry to her inventory, and then collected the bottle. She opened it and began to suck the sweet liquid down until there was no more. She’d be feeling much better very soon, and then she could be on her way to search for more darn flowers!

As Azazel added the empty bottle to her inventory to clean later, she began to walk back off toward where she’d found the calendula flowers earlier. She kept moving but found none, but she wasn’t too concerned; her health bar was moving up quickly and she was recovering her health for her final fight. Hopefully she would only need to fight one more plant to get all the berries she needed and could be done with this whole damn thing very soon.

So she was having no luck finding damn orange flowers, but that was normal. When it did happen it did always make the lady think that she needed to invest points into search and detect. It was a silly skill, but it always seemed so sensible when she had to look for censored. It was something she would consider greatly, at a later time.

As much as Azazel’s writer wanted to keep doing this, she found she didn’t have the energy to keep looking especially since damn Calrex was stealing all the good rolls. She would have to wait until all the other treasure hunters had gone to bed to continue her search for loot. Yes, this post is Meta, but deal with it. You won’t be reading post for post anyway. Unless it's Oikawa reviewing this thread. He might read it post to post.

Still no luck and Azazel found that she gave a censored less about finding a damn profession every time she tried starting and restarting this damn quest. It was so frustrating or the woman. All she wanted to do was get mats, collect col, and call it a day. Instead she was out in the field looking for orange flowers and berry dropping mobs to kill and having a hard time dealing with either of these things. She was convinced that at the end of it all it would be worth it, but for the time being, this suuuuucked and badly.
