[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] One moment her vision is filled with large incisors and vicious intent, --the next, she is lying on the ground as the beast above dissipated into ash. Her chest lifted and fell quickly with each breath, fear still clutching at her pumping heart. There was a moment of silence, signaling their freedom from danger, for the time being at least. [break][break] Crimson orbs gazed at Niyol, who moved closer to her with a box. She wouldn't have protested any aid, but "FUCK THAT BURNS!" she hissed, her back lurching from the stinging pain that came and went fairly quickly. Sweat permeated from her brow, clinging onto her pale skin as he bandaged her side. This would would prove to be a problem, as would Faerynn's. [break][break] Niyol made a suggestion, and Rynn gave her input as well. From what Alura understood, Faerynn was a newer adventurer, but she was wise in her counsel. They had to get off of this floor; but the floors above them were not much different in terrain. Her lip quivered as she thought about going one floor lower, pushing herself to stand up, with one hand resting atop of her wound. [break][break] "The floor opens up immensely one floor below. Or at least that is what the map in the guild said. The walls turn more to sheer cliffs, illuminated by bright white crystals and large cavernous openings that allow the bullheaded monsters to walk through with ease," she said, referencing the minotaurs that she would rather avoid, "But we have to go up to get home, so sustaining anymore injuries could be fatal."[break][break] It was a predicament for sure. Going up the floors was just as dangerous as going below provided they come across any obstacles. [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] Despite having no prior knowledge of the dungeon, or even stepping foot inside to face the monsters, --Niyol had laid a plan at their feet, which was inarguably sound; except for one factor. [break][break] “On floor 15, we can expect to start seeing minotaurs. While we can likely battle any other monster, the minotaur is the exception. They are highly resistant and more of a challenge that we could take. We will descend to floor 14 but no lower,” she said, her tone getting more firm towards the end of her explanation. Normally they wouldn’t be allowed even plast floor 12 since they were all still level one, but the guild made a desperate move. [break][break] The higher floors presented little challenge in what monsters they did find. Like Niyol predicted, there were quite a few groups that were killing them faster than they could spawn. Not until their destination did they come across any defiance. A provoked dungeon showed its true hand, unleashing fanged beasts that she had yet to face. [break][break] Alura engaged one, her spear tip thrusting into the muscled flesh of the monster, and a high pitched voice echoed in her ear. They were surrounded, appearing from all sides, and their rear was in danger. With her attention towards Rynn, Alura didn’t catch the pair of claws that raked at her flank, tearing through her armor and ripping open her exposed abdomen. [break][break] Fear crawled over her, driving her to run from the group, and screaming at her to survive. Having to make a conscious effort not to abandon her moral standing, Alura delivered a hard kick to the creature, pushing it away far enough so that she could lunge towards Rynn. The girl was backed up against the wall, deadly blood lusting eyes watching her carefully. [break][break] The sound of her weapon cutting the air was followed by a shrill howl as her spear head crashed into the surface of the wolf. Pulling her instrument from the corpse, Alura swiftly brought it up to protect her from the leaping monster who now had her pinned to the ground. [break][break]Teeth and spit, a nasty tongue, and a foul attitude. She held off its crushing jaws, the length of her lance pressing against its throat, staying off its advance, --for now. Her strength wouldn’t last forever, and she was unsure of how many more wolves their were. It was likely that they underestimated the dungeon. [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] Yesterday, Alura had spent the afternoon escorting Niyol, which provided the opportunity for the adventurer to sense the dramatic ambiance. Something was happening with the guild, and when the two had finally said their goodbyes, --she was able to find out what exactly was causing all the commotion. [break][break] Of course it would only make sense to alert Izanami, and make her aware of Niyol’s plan to enter the dungeon. It was important that he went in and could not wait, however, there was now the increased mortality rate. To counter this, Izanami told Alura she would assign them another adventurer to go into the dungeon with them tomorrow. There is a safety in numbers after all. [break][break] She was satisfied with the goddesses decision, and come the early morning, Alura left to meet the two at the fountain in front of the tower. She first saw Niyol… and vulpa… sitting there all nonchalant. She approached him, wearing the same dark colored armor she wore the last time they met, except this time in her hand was a iron spear. [break][break] “What an anomalous greeting,” she said in response to his strange form of ‘goodmorning’. She considered it to be a custom from his homeland rather than an attempt at a humorous quip, making her the gullible one. Though before he could correct her, another voice added to the conversation, pulling her red gaze from the man to the manakete that approached them. [break][break]A few inches shorter than Alura, and a whole foot and some smaller than Niyol, Rynn was not what she expected Izanami to assign them as a partner. It didn’t take clairvoyance to pick up on the diffident girl’s hesitation. [break][break] Re-focusing on what she was saying rather than her ‘intimidating’ demeanor, Alura smiled back before stepping towards Rynn with her hand extended, “I recognize you from the mansion, though we haven’t been properly introduced yet.-- My apologies. I am Alura, and this is Niyol; here is to us working well together Faerynn,” she said tilting her head to gesture towards the tall man who sat on the fountain. [break][break] ‘Don’t worry Rynn’ [break][break] “A ranged fighter would be nice, I have a feeling that Niyol likes to dive head first into trouble,” she said, snickering at her own joke. She hadn’t seen him fight yet, but from what she knew of him, he was dramatic and impulsive. [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] It was hard to laugh at his humorous quip, as it was the truth. Nearly everyday there was a rumor of a novice adventurer being killed by underestimating the labyrinth underneath the city. She was lucky to work as a supporter to understand the dangers of the dungeon before going in solo. [break][break] The elevator ride wasn't long, and while he shopped, --in a surprisingly quick manner, Alura stood in the hallway admiring the windows of shops here and there. With his cloth and 'pet' in hand he was finally ready to return to the house to which she was ecstatic. While their afternoon had been interesting, she was in need of some dinner and knew the chefs were preparing something fine. [break][break] "You go on ahead, I am sure you know your way back," she said, the elevator dinging and letting them out onto the ground floor, "I can meet you here tomorrow morning, bright and early," Alura finished before turning and walking away. Bye Bye Wonder boy. [break][break] [EXIT] [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] It didn’t take long for the adventurer to find the slums an unattractive place to be. Within minutes of arriving in the back alley’s, she was already addressed and hollered at, causing the woman to sneer in disgust. This kind of degenerate was the one Niyol was looking for, though she didn’t know what he planned to do with the grechin. [break][break] Alura crossed her arms and merely watched as Niyol prompted the geezer into playing his game. What did he aim to get out of it? To win money perhaps? Apparently Niyol was pretty lucky, or at least ‘seemed’ to be. She watched as the ante was increased, and her new friend called the strangers bluff. She had to stay herself from busting up in laughter. [break][break] With an explanation, she smirked, nodding her head as she appreciated how Niyol pulled that off. In an imaginary world, that man might have learned his lesson, but in reality, he will likely continue scamming those too gullible otherwise. [break][break] “Fine, but the nickname is exclusive to you alone,” she responded, cheeks burning at his compliment as she made sure not to make eye contact. [break][break] “All the good stores are in the tower of babel, and we can likely find something suiting there for you. The prices range heavily depending on the apprentice that made them,” she answered, pointing at the large tower in the center of the city. Inside was levels and level of shops monitored by the guild. [break][break] Looking at his weapon, she hardly saw how it resembled a scythe, but wouldn’t push the subject. Instead, she brushed her hair behind her ear and pondered on his question. “I wasn’t taught much. I can show you how to properly heat a forge to the correct temperature, and work the metal, but anything close to fashioning a weapon in shape is beyond me. There are a few smith’s that work exclusively with the familia and they might be better suited to help you.”[break][break] “If my small bit of knowledge can help you, I will cash out on that question at a later date. I have a feeling I want to save it for a more important time,” she said, smirking in his direction, “Whether I like if or not, I think we are stuck working with each other for a while.--Let’s go.”She commented before walking towards the center tower, where they would be able to take an elevator up.

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] It wasn't Izanami alone that had a soft spot. [break][break] Alura blinked once, twice even, staring at Niyol as he touched the soft animals. Was this really the man she had met earlier, the one that had pointed a weapon at her, and even thought an enemy of? She was unsure of what to make of the situation, moving inside the shop to finger one of the cages, poking at the small furball inside. [break][break] Looking away, she barely caught wind of the transaction taking place. The shopkeep giving Niyol a unique creature, who immediately bonded with the small dark.....'dragon'? Reaching into a small pocket on her rear, the adventurer removed an appropriate amount of compensation to pay the shopkeep for the creature. While he planned on giving it to Niyol for free, Alura did not care for that kind of charity and instead would pay dues as they come. Following Niyol from the shop, they would be able to continue their walk towards the far end of the city. [break][break] "I have hand a heavy weapon on my hand since I was thirteen, though at that time, it was a smithing hammer rather than a lance. After my father died, I worked as a supporter and many of the adventurers would leave me to fend for myself. I carried a spear because the reach would mean I would live..." she explained, glancing around the crowd in the meanwhile, once in a while catching a peek at Niyol and Vulpa. [break][break] "That was... four years ago now, --so not that long. Likely shorter than you have," she finished. They were getting close to their destination, the shadow of the district casting over them. The buildings were closer together, and in worse condition to the market they passed through not too long ago. "There isn't much I do for fun, --I prefer to keep my mind on a goal."

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] After Alura had left the kitchens, with a mouthful of food nonetheless, she made her way to the gardens and ultimately the rec building at the other end. Inside was an array of equipment and items that could be used for adventurers to further themselves without being in the dungeon. On one of these dummies, the red haired woman began to unleash her pent up frustration. She was not mad or angry, but still conflicted with emotions that was better served in a strong punch rather than kept inside. [break][break] Controlling her breathing, Alura inhaled and exhaled in a very audible pattern before glancing towards the entrance where she was both surprised and annoyed to find Niyol standing. With the first few sentences that fell out of his mouth, the adventurer vocally displayed her irritation, “What? Why me?” she asked, not caring about how it would have made him feel. He was a stranger in this land, and was recently abducted. It would have been more like her to show some compassion and humility. [break][break] His answer was… suitable. [break][break] It seemed that he was going to be with the familia for a while, maybe even forever at that, and just like any other new person, --they needed a hand to hold. She sighed before rubbing her temples. “Okay i’ll be ready soon,” she responded before walking towards a backroom. There was her normal attire that she wore out of combat, --being nothing more than a white blouse, tight black cotton pants, a belt and her tall boots. She had planned on wearing her casual get up upon finishing her training anyway. [break][break] Pushing her hair over her shoulders, Alura exited the training room to find Niyol standing there against the wall. A slight motion between his hands disappearing before she could ask what it was. Deciding not to push the situation further, the adventurer rolled her eyes and motioned for him to follow her out of the palace. [break][break] His agenda was solid, and she couldn’t argue with his pragmatism. Though she was curious about who he intended to see, considering he was a stranger in the city; --to which she got a vague answer of course. [break][break] “I wasn’t driven to her… She found me,” Alura explained as they walked, “I was alone, my father had died, and I was working as a lackey in the dungeon for some rather dangerous adventurers. I wished for something better, and it was like she heard it… she has a soft spot for children.” [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL

[attr="class","ALPpostwrap"] Copious amounts of death and ample magical energy? She already knew the answer, and found it amusing how his only option would require him to participate in the current mortal purpose. “ The dungeon here in this world can provide you with what you need,” she explained, “It is an entity that bares its fangs against the mortal’s here, an eternal plague that we are destined to keep in check.”[break][break] Allowing him to ask his questions, she pondered for a moment after, thinking about how best to give him the needed answers. If only he felt fit enough to give her a kiss, --that would make this much easier. [break][break] “Many gods descended from the heavens centuries ago. A guild is one way to classify the groups we form, but gods of this plane prefer to call them our ‘familia’. Mortals are our children after all,” she snickered, “As for gains? It is hard to stay. Every god has their own reasoning, but a general census, is that we would enjoy to revel in our creation from this point of view. Heaven and the pantheon are nothing but a struggle power, --some of which leaks onto the lower world.”[break][break] And she couldn’t return to heaven even if she wanted to. [break][break] “The dungeon itself is an ever changing labyrinth that appeared even before the gods left the heavens. No god is sure of where it came from, but some suspect foul play. Thus began much of the internal strife of the gods, and the decision to live with the mortals first came from the mouth of Ouranos,” she explained, contemplating on the amount of rumors many of her fellow kindred had suffered from, “The dungeon manifests monsters of all shapes and sizes, which used to come onto the surface through the entrance until Ouranos built the tower and began to regulate alongside the guild. That is where the gods blessing comes in, --as mere mortals were too weak to fight the monsters efficiently. Once they were able to defeat them easily, we were able to surplus the magic crystals that drop from their corpses.”[break][break] She sighed softly, not understanding where he had this thought that he could defeat a god, much less if a god was behind his imprisonment in the first place. Either way, she would be unable to help him remove the shackles. [break][break] However, it appeared that Niyol still requested aid afterall, to which she would happily oblige. Niyol brought an opportunity for something interesting to happen, and the goddess was not one to turn away such a favorable moment. [break][break] “I will have you registered with the guild to enter the dungeon,” she said before giving him a soft smile, “As for Alura, she does not think so ill of you, as she referred to you by name prior to me coming here,” Izanami said before chuckling at the future thought. Telling the adventurer that she would be tasked with helping Niyol would cause quite a commotion, but she knew that Alura showed intrigue. [break][break] “The secret of your true nature is safe with me, though I am sure I do not have to reassure you of that. --If you did not trust me with that much, then you wouldn’t have stuck around here, now that you are recuperating.”[break][break] Standing from the couch, the goddess smoothed out any wrinkles on her dress before walking towards the door. “I will have a room prepared for you if you want to take the time to get acquainted with the estate. Farewell.” [attr="class","ALPtag"] NIYOL
