Elder Tale. (Sanquin / EveIris)

Kali easily kept up with the heals, she took more notice on the kind of damage they did and the patterns they showed. She was glad that Alakai was beginning to pull more since she was easily keeping up. It was probably a wise choice to come here, since they would level up enough before they went to the ant dunes at night. That was going to be a lot harder since their numbers increased at night.

She arched a brow when he suggested a break, she wasn't even feeling tired, though he had a good point. They had cleared out quite a bit and it would take time for the to respawn. "That's a good idea, I've collected all sorts of gunk." She said with a grin, she loved picking up everything regardless if they were useful for not since she would always make a little extra when she sold them. She walked alongside him as they distanced themselves a little further from the village. "I'll make a camp fire," she said in case he needed time to work with his ingredients. Gathering some firewood she made a simple camp fire before she sat herself down. "Are we going to have something nice?" she asked him with curiosity. She was glad that they were further away from the village since she hadn't been fond of the smell.

Now that they were actually in the game experiencing all sorts of things she could feel and sense everything which was both a pleasure and a nuisance. "The goblins don't smell very good I hope it doesn't stick to my clothes," she said jokingly wondering if she could help him out with his cooking though she wasn't entirely sure since she hadn't any of the skill set.

Sorry for the delay I should have a post up soon.

Kali nodded with his deduction. She didn't feel like dying and running all the way back, which would be highly likely since she didn't have a mount of her own. Chronos eventually moved nearby as he laid himself down, though he eventually disappeared, presumably back into Alakai's inventory. She followed him as they moved towards the entrance. She watched him throw the rock and it took quite a bit of effort not to laugh when it bounced off their shield, a part of her had wished he had thrown the rock at their heads, but perhaps that was a little harsh, real or not.

They began making their way over and she prepared herself. The goblins stayed near them looking a little puzzled when they couldn't find anything suspicious, however it was then that the fight started. Since they were far enough from the village it was a good opportunity to take them down. They could slowly clean up by doing this, however it would only get easier considering that they would be gaining levels too. Kali did her usual by healing him whenever he took too much damage. They had a lot more damage compared to the spiders however it wasn't too hard for her to handle since there were only two.

As they continued on she eventually picked up on the different types and their damage styles. Those without armor hit a lot harder and they were a lot smarter too. Some had hits that resulted in dizziness, though it wasn't lethal it resulted a pause on their damage output. Still everything was a learning experience, she enjoyed learning the littler things and it helped that the village was nice too. The houses were a lot smaller, though there was a strange smell to the place.

Kali nodded, "Let's check it out then." She said with obvious excitement. Since she didn't plan on buying a mount she figured it was only fair she get to try and lead him. She hoped the game would let her. Once they passed the large gates she tugged on Chronos as she climbed on, she was feeling rather nervous. This was a wild creature, one that was unpredictable and dangerous, but it hadn't snapped at Alakai. "Oh yeah sure," she said not really focused on him holding onto her. She as more concerned over the mount than him. She started off slow, getting used to the speed and feel of it, "I can't wait for the flying mounts," she mentioned to him knowing that they were rare but not impossible to get. It would also help them cross deep waters filled with monsters.

"Since this is working out well, lets see how fast this baby can go!" She shouted as she motioned for it to go faster. Chronos' pace increased until he was sprinting, this was also his full speed so they couldn't go any faster but still Kali was enjoying it greatly. They ran passed the lower level creeps and headed north towards the goblin camp where they would level up for the day. Once they were done there they would have to head to the ant hills for crafting materials and to level up their secondary skill set. The journey was a little long, taking up to about 10 minutes to reach. However once there Kali picked up on the retched smell. "It smells disgusting," she stated as she saw a small village up ahead, there were bones everywhere a long with bits of meat that she assumed contributed to the smell. "We should probably go in slow, taunt a few and pull them out so we don't grab the attention of others until we're a high enough level to take them," she suggested. They were nasty little things, a few of them hit harder and others tanked better so she would have to ensure she kept her heals up on him since she didn't have the damage.

Haha I know it does! No worries! I'm patient you know that :p

Kali couldn't help but grow excited when he brought up the topic of having apples and raw meat. That sounded fine by her especially since he had seasonings on him as well. Licking her lips she nodded with agreement. "Let's get going then," she said as she made her way out of the inn. The sun was up though it wasn't very hot thankfully. She followed by his side though she was easily distracted by the things around them. She couldn't help but move over to the stalls to take a look whenever something caught her eye. She eventually found herself at a stall that sold a variety of cloths and silk. Touching the fabric she couldn't help sigh with content. It was incredibly soft on its own but it was pricey and required a higher level to use. Still she couldn't help but imagine how it would feel against her skin when she managed to make it wearable for her class.

Once they had gathered everything they needed she found herself walking towards the gates which led out of the city. "I think we better get going, I'm not feeling too hungry now and I'm worried about how long it might take. We're planning to grind tonight as well so," she brought. For some reason she felt the urge to start grinding. She wanted to quickly gain the levels and unlock all her skills not to mention get ahead. Higher levels meant they could explore further which in turn also meant different cities. Grabbing onto his wrist she pulled him towards the gate with haste. "Can lead him?" she asked as she motioned to the animal though she wasn't sure if the game would allow since it's owner was Alakai.

Sorry for the delay! I actually planned on posting today haha.

Kali chuckled at his comment, she had only been messing with him. It didn't seem like he was sleeping whilst sitting up, though he explained to her that he was meditation. "Darn that sounds pretty good, I don't have anything like that," she mumbled.Instead she had a levitation spell as her passive. However that was only unlocked at later levels. It didn't seem like much but it could save her from fall damage. She laid herself down on his bed as she watched up get off. "Don't take too long, we've got a long day," she reminded him. Though the thought of eating anything wasn't too pleasing. The food here at least when it was bought tasted plain, nothing like what it actually looked like. If he planned on cooking though, that was a different story.

When the topic of the mount was brought up she arched a brow. "I should be getting mine soon," she had planned on getting one of the rarer mounts which could only be picked up from another area far off from here, and it was fairly costly too. "But now that you mention it, I think we should save the money, I don't see a problem sharing with you as long as you don't mind me." She said, her thoughts were mostly focused on their money though. She was mentally thinking of all the things they needed to buy, there was a lso the need to level faster and explore the lands. She wanted to get ahead, because there were bonuses for sure. The thought of getting ahead of others was pleasant as well, she wouldn't have to worry about eating, sleeping or the usual things she did back in reality. She had all the time to pour into this. "Anyways go ahead and use the bathroom," she urged. "I'll be downstairs when you're down, so I can return the key," she added on as she got off the bed and made her way over to the door.

Downstairs was pretty empty, much to her surprise. She returned the key to the man thanking him for the room. It was likely that they went out to train, now that everyone knew they could be resurrected there was nothing to hold them back from grinding. When she caught sight of Alakai she made her way over to him. "About breakfast, maybe we should skip? I don't feel like having plain biscuits," she whined softly.

No worries!! Have fun :3

Kali had dozed off rather quickly, it was somewhat of a surprise considering how she usually struggled to sleep, she would remain awake for at least an hour struggling to doze off. Perhaps she was worn out and hadn't really felt it? Whatever it was it was nice to sleep on command. Her dreams however were pretty empty. She didn't have any dreams, instead it was blank and she only felt herself getting rest and recovering from the day.

When she woke up she realized that it was still dark from what she could see outside the window. The candle beside her had gone out and slowly she sat up feeling the need to use the bathroom. It was probably around six, glancing to her side she saw Alakai seated upon his bed unmoving. Sliding off her bed she decided on using the bathroom before checking up on Alakai, perhaps he had trouble sleeping. When she returned she ran her hand through her long hair as she sat on his bed and poked his shoulder. "You alive?" she questioned noticing how he was still in the same position she had left the room. She wondered if he had gotten any sleep, hopefully he had since they had a long day. They would be finishing up at night if everything went well.
