This place was strangely a nice place to die. It wasn't the fact that there was a picturesque view of rolling hills with the sun gently trekking over the sky. No, it was the fact that out here, in the middle of nowhere, there was no one to spoil her last moments - she could think clearly and finally, she could work things out with herself. Once she had shifted herself around, the pain began to fade and it just felt awkward. Dying, although it was in one of the most brutal ways, was strangely peaceful.

It *was* peaceful, up until the point where she had to listen to some people walk past the road just a few yards from where she laid. Then there was that boss which didn't seem to bother her but very kindly got rid of the other players. She was settling down to watch her life-bar fade away when the light above her was suddenly blocked out by a looming figure. **"You. What occurred to you?"** The disturber of peace suddenly questioned, causing Alex to flick her eyes open in annoyance. "What does it look like?" She murmured weakly, letting out a soft sigh before staring up at him. "I've been stabbed by a poisonous blade that is very high-level so unless you magically have some sort of antidote that would cure this poison then could you please excuse yourself."

Strangely enough, as it turned out, he did have a high-level antidote that removed the poison effect from her just in the nick of time. Her life-bar was about to fade into nothingness so she counted it as some strange work of fate. Staying in the same position out of the fear that moving the blades would kill her, she eagerly accepted the health-crystals he offered. Alex didn't know why she never stocked them on her person. Finally, after about twenty minutes, she had the blades removed (with a fair amount of pain) and her health-bar was nearly full. Of course, that didn't stop her from feeling like she had just been hit by a truck. "Thank you. I don't have much Col but I can give you what I have." She offered with a meagre shrug. Turns out, she was lying a little as she had nearly four thousand Col.
