Starlight wakes up slowly, shaking her head to shake away her dizziness, she tries very hard to find her footing and to stand up again. Inevitably struggled a bit, still not entirely off from the influence of the sleep potion.
Breathing heavily at the surrounding, to take into the currently situation. The have somehow managed to safely guarded the chest, and now Taront is on the ground, presumed to be unconsciousness. But she could not see any more enemies, somehow between the two of them, they have managed to take off two wolves? Starlight turns around, and that was when she noticed that there was a stranger standing nearby, from the look, he had just fought....that means that this stranger help us out on the mission. "Thank you." That was all that she could say to the stranger.
However as she was looking at this stranger, he has increasingly looked more familiar, like as if she has meet him once before somewhere, long black hair, red clothing...."Crimson? What are you doing here? ....wow...The last time that I have met you you were level 1, but to be able to take out the wolf so easier, I guess you have improved. Very well. " Starlight smiled at Crimson, and was happy for him for his improvement. This whole unexpected thingy may not be so bad after all, now that she can meet an old acquiescence once again. She was seriously not expecting anyone else to show up. Initially, she kind of thought that this was only going to be one of those things, where the group will be trapped in this sealed off space and no outsider can enter.
Well, she was clearly wrong, that this was an open world game, and man, was she lucky that Crimson has just stopped by. Whatever the reason that he would be here, today, at this moment, it didn't matter to her at the slight. She just know that she has caught a lucky break from all of this enemy encounter staff. "Crimson, I know that you must have a lot to say and a lot of question to ask, but not right now. We don't have much time, and we are in danger right now. There is no time for chatting." Starlight pointed at Taront and the Chest. "Someone needs to carry Taront to safety, and I run out of port stone. The chest cannot go back to the inventory before leaving the forest, so someone has to carry the chest too. That means there's only one person on guard duty. I move the fastest and is the highest level here, so let me guard and the two of you to help our injured and that thing, move it out of the forest. I feel that as long as we are out of the forest, we should be fine, just run back to the safezone and turn in the quest and call it a day." Starlight says so solemnly and lucky, the other two agreed with the arrangement.
It was a very close chase, almost as soon as they started to get ready to move, the wolves' reinforcements are on their tail again, and what is more, this time there were also kobo soldiers running towards this way too.
Understanding that they are now guarding both a unconscious player and without port stone and the chest, they are in no position to further engaged in combat, but lucky that they were not too far away from the edge of the forest. They only barely managed to get out with their skin in tact.
For whatever reason, the monsters were behaving very strangely, I don't know about the soldiers, but the wolves should at least keep chasing them. But that was not the case, as soon as they left the forest, the wolves seems to have lost all interest in them and retreat back further into the forest. Leaving the 4 players able to continue their journey.
It had looked like the curse of the chest is only applicable to the forest, as soon as they got out, Starlight pull the chest to her inventory just fine and at this point, she doesn't even bother with checking the item description anymore. There are four of them now and one is unconscious. They were acting super cautious on their way back to the Town of the Beginning. It took at least twice as long for them to get back then for them to get over there, having some more close encounter and even so that Starlight has to find out some beasts. But they finally managed to arrived at the Town of the Beginning just before night fall.
Going back to the safezone was a relief, the mysterious masked man met them at the gate of the Town, only then did Starlight noticed that this mysterious masked was Red, a Player Killer, but he did not try to attack the group, but instead accepted the quest. Signalling the quest is now over. They settle Taront in the Town's Inn, and was just about to go on their separate way. The boss of the mysterious masked man came up and say hello, and invited them all to dinner.
Lucky that all three of them who are still conscious accepted the generous gift, the dinner was high class and Delicious. After the dinner, it was already dark outside and some of the players have not yet purchase their own home, so the generous host offered to let them stay in their mansion for one night. To which, after excusing themselves and retreating into the study room, they have a little team internal discussion about the offer, but eventually they have all agreed to stay for the night.
It had been quite some time, it was not until in real life had Starlight sleep in a bed so soft, and she was quite happy with how things are turning out. They successfully completed the mission, they got free dinner, and now hot shower and soft bed. Still, for someone like Starlight, who had so many experience sleeping on the floor and randomly on the bench, roof top and whatnot, this sudden upgrade was just not settle in with her and she just could not fell asleep.
She was twisting and turning under her blanket, blaming herself to be weird, that you can fall asleep on the grass field but not on an actual soft bed? What is wrong with you? Has this game turn you into a barbarian? When she smell something really weird, it had almost smell like smoke! Starlight got up and looked around, she get out of her room to find what looked to be the light of fire spreading out, she quickly went to look for her teammate, and bumping on the door and trying to wake them up, telling them that there was a fire.
But the fire was so closing in, finally someone opened the door, and as an act to save their own life, they jumped out from that person's window and started running until they were out of the zone. Looking back, the whole building was in flame.
Breathing heavily, Starlight could only hoped that that was an accident, and not an attempt to burn them alive, who would do such thing?! After we work for them too. There was no way for them to sleep there that night, so Starlight says goodbye to her teammate and to go look for another place to sleep in.
In the morning, she tries to find the person that she met yesterday, wanting to ask him about what happened. But the security guard told here, that the building is owned by the Town, not by an individual, and despite trying with the Guard, they could not identify the individual that they met that night, from the official Town of the Beginning NPC registration.
Just who is he, why was he doing this, what was in that chest, what is truly going on? Those are the questions unanswered.
Still Starlight must move on from this, and that tomorrow is another day. With that mentality in mind, Starlight went on her day, and went on on her adventure.
