141 Zias Resolution (1/2)

-Scy's Guild-

After agreeing of joining me to go visit some neighboring cities, they haven't spoken any words yet. Are we still not that familiar with each other or is it just no one really wants to say something. Well, at least we have to break the ice.

”Hey guys, are you going to buy something?” I asked a question that most of us can answer.

”Yes, I'm going to buy some decorations and materials for my Inn. I got a lot of Centaur parts as materials but most of the other loot was taken by Miss Petula...” Chelly's really into making her own Inn, huh. Yeah, I think Miss Petula is really one of those people who really loves to gather materials for crafting, kind of greedy too.

”Oh, well I only have twenty gold coins in my purse and I don't think I can buy anything with this,” I said worrying that my shopping would be just useless because I don't have that much to spend.

”Well, with twenty gold, you can really buy good armor and weapons for mid-level players. Most of us are around level 200 so it's considered as mid-level. Don't worry Miss Zia, it's enough. Well, I can craft for you if you want but it would really take a while.” She said. Woooah... That's really reassuring.

”Nahhh, I'll just buy one so I won't really trouble you with that,” I think I really need better armor and weapon as fast as I can. Waiting for a while might really not good when we meet strong opponents like the two Legendary Bosses we've met.

As we travel, we talked about simple things about the game like what are the different types of monsters and where we can find them in case we want to create or craft something. I also heard that one of our guildmates is crafting potions which I think called alchemy or something. The truth is I really don't want to get too far from the guild because all the groups that went too far have met some strong monsters and I don't want to meet another one again. It's too much for me to handle the pressure, worst feeling ever!

”We're almost out of the forest guys so where should we head to?” I asked. I'm aware that most of the guilds hate Scy so we won't get a warm welcome from any cities around.

”If you want the best equipment I prefer Order of Light City. Just don't say that we're from Scy's guild or we could really start trouble.” Pie's right. We don't want to attract too much attention or it would be really bad for us.

Hmmmm? I have never seen this cave before. Maybe we might find something valuable here. Maybe we should try entering?

”Hey Pie, what do you think of this cave?” I asked Pie because when it comes to checking stuff up, he's the best choice to ask.

”Based on the structure of the cave, it looks like this is not a man-made cave. Also, there are some prints here and I think it's around a couple of weeks ago. I heard that the Order of Light Guild started to raid this cave and found a Chimera instead and I think that this is the same cave.” We are at the entrance but I have a feeling that we should enter the place.

”What about we check inside guys? If you said that it's a den of the Chimera before then maybe there are some materials the chimera left like a feather or some fur that we can use to track it and make the Guild Leaders hunt them.” He insisted. Well, it's not bad to check the place, not to mention it's still early.

”Well, it wouldn't hurt to check some old cave. I also heard that the raiders just went home after the Chimera escaped and they haven't really explored this cave.” Ok, ok... no need to sell it further, Pie. It's really convenient to have someone who reads or watch the news a lot.

”Ok. Let's go then!” I ordered. This would be fun!

-Inside the Forest Cave-

I take that back... it's not really fun at all. It's really dark here but thanks to our guild member's fire spells, we managed to create light inside this dark cave.

Hmmmm? I looked up and...

*FLAP FLAP FLAP!*

”KYAAAAAAAH!” What was that?! We, girls, shouted to our heart's content because we got surprised by the bats! That scared me like crazy, I almost wet my pants!

”It seems that some monsters and bats are living here now. It means that there are no Bosses around. We still should be careful though, we might encounter some powerful monsters.” Pie suggested. I think he's right. I don't really feel anything here but just being scared of the darkness. Maybe we are just wasting our time.

Hmmmm? I tried to focus my eyesight and see what's ahead but endless darkness. We can't see anything but the light coming from the entrance is just getting smaller and smaller while we are getting deeper. Now the entrance looks like a small ball of light from here.

At last, we managed to reach the end but... it's a dead end. There's nothing here but stones and webs from spiders. This really is just a waste of time.

”Should we go back?” I asked them.

”Yes, I think. This place is empty. Maybe some other people explored this place already and got most of the loot around.” Maybe he's right. It's time to go back.

As we move on, I feel like there's something on my feet so I stopped for a bit to check it out. It looks like there are some lines but wait... I think it's a crack or something... So I tried to move and...

*CRACK!* Uh??

”KYAAAAAAAH!” I screamed with all I've got while falling down! The ground collapsed!
