The Ancients World

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: The City of Abble, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:31 PM)~~~

Cera hasn't gotten back to me yet, and that confirms he's having to deal with his own problems right now. Meaning I'm on my own for this part. "The only thing I can think of doing now is trying that Hidde Dungeon..." I'm done digging through books and asking around for today. I want to actually do something that will show some results.

The streets are packed, and everyone is heading for the exit of Abble. "No one has gotten past the first half percent of the dungeon yet. I can't believe I wasted a level thinking any of you idiots could do anything to help." A conversation breaks out to my right, and I keep myself on the down-low, but I'm listening regardless. Some of the people scoff and retort.

It's difficult enough to cause this many problems among so many Players. "Speak for yourself, you rat! You kept charging forward with that thought that nothing could stop you!" I'm not going to learn anything worthwhile from this group. I pick up my pace a bit more and eventually get out of the city. Following Players into the Wilds around here.

Most just run past enemies to get back to the dungeon. And thanks to those people, the monsters are distracted by them so the rest of us can get there. After about 15 minutes of walking and running off and on, I see a large encampment. The Hidden Dungeon must be located in the large ravine this place is next to. There is even a hand-built wooden perimeter. 

There are small looms of smoke rising from campfires, and there is festive music playing. As I enter through the gate with the other Players that I've followed and have followed behind me. There are several temporary bars and food stalls set up. "It's like a village was set up here... I didn't know you could do that in the Wilds..." It's an amazing thing to see.

My eyes land on the varying different types of Players present. There are people heavily geared and likely with high levels. And there are people that look ordinary. "Alright, I'm taking in anyone above level 120!!" A voice calls out next to an opening leading right into the ravine. Few people stand up and make their way over. That must be the entrance to the Hidden Dungeon.

They've built a platform and exit that leads to the ravine into the small village that's been set up here. I look towards a group of girls sitting next to a campfire, and I make my way over. Once I sit down, I make sure to fade into the background. "Oh, c'mon, sweety... My friends and I will carry you..." I look and see one of the more attractive women fending guys off with a stick.

You can just tell by the look on her face that she's had enough of the crap. She abruptly stands up and casts a fireball spell. Sending the guy flying and soon burning to death. His screams are violent, but after the dust settles, people just laugh. Making what happened a little more disturbing. "Why do they do that? If I want help, I'd ask for it..." Some of the girls here giggle at her. 

<br/>This is a chance to ask for information about the dungeon, and I'm taking it. "Excuse me?" They hear my feminine and gentle voice. Causing them to look at me. "Mind if I ask a question?" The one getting hit on earlier smiles and nods her head. "Could anyone tell me about the Hidden Dungeon here?" There is silence at first, but the one getting attention clears her throat.

It might've been polite to ask for their names first, but it's too late for that now. "The dungeon is called Frosts Penance. The dungeon gets colder and colder the deeper you go down away from the sunlight. Frostbite is a real problem in this dungeon. Along with the high health and tough ice monsters." From that, I know this Hidden Dungeon is connected to my tier-up quest.

My Class is literally called Winters Wrath, and my powers are based on ice and the cold. It's a match for everything so far. "Going in alone is suicide since the debuffs need to be cleared by another person. It's a unique effect about this dungeon. You also need to be level 100 to enter, but I recommend being higher." She finishes explaining it to me.

She tilts her head in a way as to relay that she's waiting for me to respond to all her explanations. "Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it. I wish all of you luck in clearing the dungeon and being the first to get those rewards." With those words, I stand up and make my way towards the dungeon known as Frosts Penance. But before I can get too far, I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I stop, and it's the same girl that told me all the information about the dungeon. "You wouldn't mind taking a team along with you. It's better than going in alone, and it'll raise the odds of you getting past the Frostbite debuff." I don't have to worry about Frostbite. I'm immune to the cold, and that means I don't need anyone's help with this.

I slowly shake my head and make sure my hood is covering my features. "I don't want any help. Thanks for offering, though." She lets go with a smile and walks back to her group of friends. I slowly make my way towards the entrance to the dungeon, and as I do, more and more chatter is heard about what the dungeon olds and how difficult it is.

~~~(Time: 12:57 PM)~~~

I'm pretty annoyed with my quest, and I don't want to ask Cera for his help again. Now that I have the Phoenix Feather, I'm required to take on a Dungeon about 45 miles east of me. It's not one that's been revealed to anyone yet, meaning it's undiscovered. "I'm not going today. I'll head out first thing in the morning." I'm sick of going none stop. I need a break.

Taking a breather is important, and I need the rest of today off, and I'm not even thinking about my quest until tomorrow. "One thing that's a bummer about all this is I'm pretty much the youngest kid around anymore..." There are kids my age, but none of them are Players like me and can use magic or bladed weapons. It's rare isolation I didn't know about until now.

Main because mom and dad did a pretty good job keeping me distracted until we split up. "One thing I can think of to pass the time is heading to the local fair tonight." There is supposed to be a festival or fair tonight here in Helios. I don't know what it's for, but it's a chance to have some fun and not worry about anything that's on my to-do list.

There are people flooding into the church as I look from the second floor and down. I'm leaning against the rail as they're getting a document for me. "I can't believe they actually have something a part of my tier-up quest... Figures it'd be here..." As much as I hate that it's here, I'm glad that I don't have to keep digging around for answers.
