Don't you depart on me!

"Dai..."

This was the word that rung out from Zemina's mouth as the crimson-clad swordswoman walked down through the woods, trying to get that letter out of her head. The letter that was given to her by a mysterious man as she walked through the park.

Dear old friend I don't know if you remember me but I need your help. A strange cursed has swept across my home land destroyed most of the population. I managed to escape, and am now in hiding, but while I was escaping from those creatures one of them bit me. Within the envelope I have placed my current location I am currently at an old cabin in the cursed lands, please come as soon as you can as I am beginning to feel rather feverous. Yours Truly, Dai Frevon

This was what the note read, and this led Zemina to a forest in the cursed lands. The sky was dark and there was a constant feeling that someone was watching, but Zemina remained confident. She held the Cursed Blade at her side, the power of a god flowing through it. She knew as long as this blade remained in her hands, she would get out of this alive. However the same couldn't be said about her dear childhood friend, for he was bitten by something. What this something is, Zemina did not know.

Zemina continued her trail, and hummed to a little song that she learned a while ago. It brought back memories, because it was a melody taught to her by this old friend. This was in better times, before Zemina had her cursed blade, before she was a mercenary, all of these memories brought up, it was nice to feel such nostalgia. Although it wasn't the time or place, Zemina found herself cracking a smile, while reconciling over the past.

She suddenly saw a shadow move. Zemina's had tensed on her blade, preparing to draw it. "Who is there!?" she yelled out forcefully, like a police officer. Zemina didn't want to use her godly powers yet, because she didn't know exactly what she was up against. She knew that if she was brought to it, she would however. The godly power rested in the Cursed Blade did not have to be told twice to activate, nor to kill. "Answer me!" Zemina yelled, waiting for some sort of response.

'Monster Dice' :

The enemies weren't thieves, they weren't vulcans. The enemies that Zemina encountered were.... Ghosts. Two to be exact. Zemina ran up to one of them, and slashed it horizontally through the stomach, although sadly nothing happened to it and it didn't really take any major damage. Zemina tried again with her sword, and yelled out loudly as she began an all-out assault on it, but nothing worked and the ghost smacked Zemina in the face. How a ghost can deal damage physically but not take it was beyond Zemina, but it didn't matter. She was just about to activate her magic until...

Zemina was surprised by another ghost physically entering her body. "What... The...?" Zemina felt the ghost trying to take over, it's spirit trying to overcome hers. "Get... Out... Of... ME!" Zemina threw her arms down, and the ghost left her body. Zemina went Agni's Descendant form, her hair becoming Snow White and her eyes becoming light orange. The many purple symbols made of fire surrounded her body, and Zemina's sword was entirely encased in fire. "Now then, let's see if the undead can handle the power of a god!"

The ghosts looked at Zemina, yet Zemina showed no fear. She stood perfectly still, and held her sword at her side, the fire raging on. "I wouldn't have even needed to use my power if it weren't for you being able to avoid my attacks." The ghosts lunged forward for an attack, easily avoided by ducking on Zemina's part. "Your time to pass on." Zemina held the sword with both hands, angling the blade towards the grass, as she chanted. "Nether Curse..." The two purple flaming symbols began to move its way onto Zemina's sword. They glowed a bright purple before Zemina finished the chant. "Yame Joren!"

The two ghosts passed on this day.

Zemina did a diagonal upward slash, and the result was a tornado of fire being produced. The flaming tornados engulfed the two ghosts, whom were incinerated and they dissapeared. Zemina began walking again as if nothing happened, back towards the indicated coordinates.

Zemina didn't dispel her Agni's Descendant Form, she continued to stay in it because she just thought that it would be necessary to fight off whatever waited for her to continue. Convenient enough, as soon as she started walking off four more ghosts appeared, two of them catching Zemina off guard and pushing her to the ground. "I don't have time for this." She said as she stood up, sword in hand.

.Zemina stood and chanted another spell. "Omega Curse... Mekam!" As she said this a single symbol appeared on her sword and glowed purple. Zemina slashed at one of the ghosts, the blade passing right through but the dragon caught it off guard, incinerating it instantly. Zemina turned around as another ghost tried to possess her, making her eyes glow a bright blue. "Go... AWAY!" Zemina dispelled the ghost out of her body, then put her sword at her side, for she was going to take a while, as most of her spells wouldn't really harm the ghosts, so it would take much longer.

Normally, Raiza truly wouldn't give a damn about a complete stranger, normally he would care less, but it was strange. After meeting this woman at the cafe' shop, he had grown rather curious, not so much to the point of stalking, but to the point when he was looking at the job bulletin board, he noticed something out the window a figure beckoning to him to leave. It was in the shape of a wisp(his future pet), almost circling as he gave a curious look at the small illuminated figure something drew him to the window it began to trail into the cursed lands, a dark marsh like forest bordering the small village he was visiting looking for mercenary work.

Looking down with an exauggerated sigh, he knew where this was going 'oh follow the mmo wisp, it leads you to bullshit quests and a week long quest line, right?' was Raiza's thoughts but none the less he headed out of the building, following the wisp until he oddly saw it vanish at the forest's edge. Yet something could be heard off in the distance.

A voice...

Where did he hear it from before?

'Get out of me'...  the voice was heard again and it hit Raiza's ears like a train, his walk picked up pace until he felt he was running in a stride. Why? Why did he even feel the urgancy to run forward like that? His heart raced yet he couldn't even pin the voice to-----

"HER!" he spoke allowed, realizing who the voice belonged to. The very woman he was curious about a few hours ago from the cafe' !!!.

'Go away!' the voice rang out again as Raiza's wrist began to burn.

"What?" he was curious looking as his right wrist as a tattoo of a key began to burn into his skin. "The hell? This decides to happen? Now?" openly asking himself before he knew it he was still running forward, dodging the stationary trees, reaching for his blade(weak version) but only to find as he did unsheath it, the blade broke in half "seriously?" he questioned again, picking up the pace as he could see off in the distance. The woman he met before was being assaulted by a ghost like apparition.

Though oddly enough he felt something in his mind click. The words 'console key' hit his mind so hard he nearly stopped dead in his tracks. Though he didn't understand it at first, he did understand one thing. This was his magic, and following magic MMO rules, Raiza began to focus the energy of the tattoo, the energy was consumed and a gunblade began to materialize in his hands as if pixels themselves took place slowly appearing and collecting, building the weapon to it's fullest.

Immediately he recognized it. It was a Gunblade, a famous gun sword mix in a few games he played. It wasn't the typical sword shield build he liked, but the gunblade provided a long range and short range style of play. Perfect for his mmo style in this world. Though he couldn't dilly dally here...

He kept running until he was within 30meters of the girl and extended his arm out, pointing the gunblade's tip towards one of the ghosts "Fuck off!!!" he roared out in a scream trying to get the ghost's attention before pulling the trigger, instantly two bullets. One from each chamber were sent flying out, zooming towards the first ghost. Though not stopping there, Raiza pulled the trigger two more times, so a total of six bullets were sent flying out. Four towards one ghost, and two towards another.

Though time to test the limits of the gunblade. Raiza kept pulling the trigger until a click happened which would be three more shots. Aiming at various ghosts. A blink of his eyes and oddly enough he looked at the weapon, a 'gauge' appeared. It was no doubt a H.U.D It would tell him when the gun was reloaded. He even saw before his eyes a mana guage 'my magic... is a representation of a game... its acting as if this is a game!' he thought to himself, hoping at least some of the 12 rounds fired would hit the ghosts.

Unknown to him though the bullets were all pure magic based, no physical power, and thus a specter like that might be thrown off, though he was more so trying to scare them away with the bullet firing. Truly, he had no clue at all, an something like this could only benefit so much.

"And stay fucked off!!!" his voice called out again as he changed how he gripped the handle, now gripping as if using it as a sword instead of a gun while the ammo reloaded, he was still running closing in and about 20meters away from Zemina, thoughts racing his mind all the time as he was. 'I consumed 5% of my mana to summon the gunblade, but none to fire the rounds, and more so its reloading on it's own. The bullets glided across just an inch from the blade perfectly so they are magically unhindered, and more so I can fire this repeatedly, though I have no clue as to my spells' The thoughts raced his mind, yet he didn't even know if the bullets hit the ghosts, he was just too focused on trying to hit the targets and get them away from Zem, luckily, he knew at least how to aim to the point he'd not hit her. The strange thing was, he even saw his own health guage. 'Right... 0 and I die' he thought to himself

Though what confused him the most, was he felt the presence of spells in his aresenal. Four D-class and 3 C-class, but had no idea what they were or how they were even used. It'd be a matter of time to try, but even then he knew something like that didn't come without a cost. 'wonder what happens in this mmo....if I hit zero mana' he thought to himself again

The member 'Zemina' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Zemina was caught off guard as the remaining 3 ghosts flashed and died, and turned to see a familiar face to match the familiar voice. It was that person she met some time ago, at that cafe in the neutral grounds. How he could find Zemina, she could not tell. How he could even recognize her with her completely different looks other than physique, she couldn't tell. Those were beside the point however, because this man was following her, and that brought up suspicions on Zemina's part. Zemina released her magic, her hair turning black as opposed to its white color, her eyes returning red instead of bright orange. The blade in her hand was no longer encased in fire, it was just in its regular state. Zemina took a few steps toward the man, then burst out into a run with her sword up to his throat, a cold stare that obviously read "Answer right or you don't see the next day."

"What were you following me for?"

These were the only words she said, because she knew that enemies still were around, she could feel the prescence here. There was seven enemies around here somewhere, but that "where" was unknown to her. The hand on the sword tightened, ready to cut a throat of Raiza as well as the bodies of some enemies.

Watching bullet after bullet take the ghosts by surprise, Raiza's attack had easily tore through each specter like it was absolutely nothing at all to do such a move. Though he began to read the names of the console commands on his H.U.D a few of them came to an interesting mind, but none the less, he still felt he didn't or at least shouldn't cast a spell, not right now at least. Though as he watched his supposed ally rush up on him, he knew naturally he wouldn't be faster, but good thing distance was his opportune moment, he'd be able to use the distance to his advantage, since watching how Zemina was dashing up on him with her blade held up knew either something was behind him or the fact he just pissed her off by killing the ghosts. Though he wasn't one to jump to conclusions, and simply began to try and sense what was around him. Faintly feeling seven signatures but... what and where was another story.

Then it hit him. A blade at his throat, words being spoken, a question asked and Raiza had no idea how to answer it 'damn lag' he thought to himself, hoping to activate the ability he saw on his H.U.D, and the moment he did, he tilted his wrist to that the sharp end of the blade was pointed at the woman's chest about where the heart should be, just as time resolved itself.  A nye point blank gunfire could be executed right to the heart had he needed to do it, and all that sudden motion would seem like a glitch, as if he heightened his speed to enormous amounts.

"First off... we both have our weapons ready to kill each other if thats your true plan. Second off, I didn't follow you. I followed a fucking wisp here, and heard your voice. You know... a village is nearby these woods after all. " the youth wasn't one to fuck around, lives were at stake, and not just because the two of them seemed to get off on the wrong foot. It was apparent as a strange undead canine like figure began to make a dark barking sound at them, which only caused the ghosts to began to fade through the trees appearing  near them, all within 20-30meters of Zemina and Raiza

Though sighing, placing his finger on the trigger before whippping his gunblade around, and if Zemina were to use that moment to cut at him, so be it. His gaze stared at the undead animal as his gunblade aimed towards it and instantly he double tapped the trigger, shooting a total of four rounds at the creature, each impacting it fairly hard in various locations, one missing, but the rest would hit their mark, and end the small weak creature.

Information:

Zemina held her cold stare as the gunblade was put up to her heart. He said that he was coming from a villiage near by, but there was still no reason for him to follow some basic whisp, so why would he need to be here? To follow Zemina, but she saw no sensible motives for him to follow her, so that annoyed her further. She was going to flat-out end his life when she realized that the enemies closed in, so she just went with the whole "I'll trust you for now" bit and took her sword from his neck as he turned to shoot the zombie dog. There were more ghosts, the things that Zemina couldn't naturally hit. Six of them, as many as before. Zemina reactivated her magic, with her appearance changing once again as the godly power coursed through her veins. "Mortem Curse..." She began chanting, as a purple symbol went on her sword, and that was it. Zemina dashed at two of the ghosts, then yelled out. "Fliona Margrestrium!" and slashed through two ghosts, the blade passing through their bodies but becoming non-physical, and cutting straight through, and incinerating the ghosts. There were still four more, four of which she could take out easily with one spell, but they would need to all be together,

Zemina jumped onto a branch of a tree, then hopped from tree to tree attracting the attention of the ghosts. She muttered to herself once more "Nether Curse..." then once each ghost was on her tail she turned around, and while in mid-air yelled out "Yame Joren!" and slashed her sword upwards, engulving each of the ghosts in fire. Zemina landed on the ground, and panted as if she was exhausted. I'm using too much magic power too fast... By the time i get to him I'll have run out... She thought to herself and yelled at the man. "You're already this far, come with me! I need to help someone out!" she yelled and began running off, seeing the abandoned cabin in the distance of the woods.

Not even a flinch? Damn, this woman truly was a burning warrior, a myrmidon in action as Raiza went to shoot the ghosts but each time he tried they were cut down by an amazing speed. Then again he truly didn't try, not when he watched ghost by ghost, one by one fall to the spells he watched take place....wait spells? Watching as the woman kept spewing out spell for spell and noticing his own drain when he used one, he could assume they were even a fraction of a drain for the most part, even bunching them up together for a single slice to finish them all off. Truly he underestimated the woman he saw, and no wonder she looked so calm. Was she truly about to end him right there? The sheer though annoyed Raiza to the point of wanting to take a crack explosive shot to the woman as her back was turned to him, but he resisted. Why shoot the person he just tried to save, possibly did save at that too. They far too much bursted their mana just now anyways and Raiza knew that.

The situation was more grave than Raiza thought when he watched her begin to pant a bit after landing on the ground. Those spells... they consumed no doubt just as much as it consumed his lag switch technique. Though he wished the mana guage or health gauge showed up for her like it did him. To be able to see his ally's stats would be nice, though maybe he could(Can't) in the future. After all, MMOs need some boarders after all.

Though something did hit him. A second light on his heads up display he saw was flashing. A strange icon and upon examination it was another spell, a food one? Strange, why was it flashing? Perhaps because he was not in control of his magic(after this thread I will be) so a lot of his thoughts were upon helping the situation, and oddly enough he saw a "C" next to the icon. What was it doing?

Shrugging as he ran forward with the woman following close behind, keeping his finger on the trigger of the gunblade, making sure to be observant as much as possible, at least for now as he did hear something 'strange' behind them. Though he for the most part just kept running and looking forward only to notice a cabin.

Someone was in trouble, and thats why this woman was so hostile, damn it sure looked that dangerous truthfully Raiza knew it must be in a dire situation, and only to watch Zemina have a quicker speed, no doubt due to their smaller size, Raiza grunted in annoyance, picking his speed up, trying to use his strength of his long strides to keep up as a crack of a tree branch fell a distance behind them Perhaps it was just an after effect, or who knows(i'll have you place hold roll again if thats your choice)

'Monster Dice' :

Zemina continued on, closing in on the cabin. There was more enemies approaching, two ghosts and an animal that went for Raiza, and a group of zombies that went for Zemina. Wait... Zombies? The ghosts were at least somewhat normal to the whole setting of the abandoned cabin, but the zombies were just out of whack. This didn't stop Zemina's determination none-the-less. "Burn by the power of the fire god Agni!" She yelled as two more purple symbol appeared on her sword, then she ran over to the zombies, slicing through three of them with multiple sword strokes. However one bit Zemina in the shoulder, but Zemina thought nothing of it. The two symbols began glowing bright purple, as if they were radiating light. Dammit go faster... I don't have much time...! she said as she fought to fend off the rest of the Zombies with her bare fist, the other hand holding the sword which was charging up the attack. If she had enough time, this attack would end them all, all at once. However the Zombies were giving Zemina a hard time to focus, as she was pooling her magic into the blade and the curse. So she fought while she charged, kicking them back and punching, as a magic circle began forming under her feet, stretching out further than 20 meters slowly, but not reaching its full extent. Of course the zombies thought nothing of it, as they just continued to attack Zemina and Zemina continued to fight them off.

Being the kind of person Raiza was, he saw the first two ghost and an undead animal appear from behind the trees, but that wasn't all. More and more swarmed. Two more undead animals for a total of three had been running to catch up to Raiza while four more ghosts for a total of six began to circle him "Shit this isn't good, and her... she needs more time!...wait...time!!!" the entire thought process clicked in Raiza's mind that he knew at least one of his spells. Although it was a bit... risky to use it like this, he knew it'd give Zemina enough time.

"Zemina...make sure you get done with what you need... no matter the cost alright?", hoping not to break her concentration with his words, Raiza stopped dead in his tracks from running. Things were beginning to catch up...for now 'LAG SWITCHA!!!'. It was done, just like that time froze all around him, but this time Zemina was unaffected. They'd find they had an entire time frame to move and act, good thing too, it looked like they were getting swarmed far too badly, but at least for now, Raiza stopped time. Zemina would know just from the magic pressure exactly how long(6 seconds) they had to act to do what ever they needed, the spell would be cast in a four chain burst, having drained Raiza nearly completely and anyone could see that much. Though it wasn't over, Raiza had dropped to his knees looking at the frozen beasties that were at one time on his trail.

'Shit though this going to get rough...'"System... give player status_Immortal object" the words escaped his lips as if he knew how to even cast the spell, though it was adrenaline at this point, sure he could of accessed the help database of his H.U.D to know what his spells were but this was an over-ride, he didn't even act as if he knew what he was doing anymore, he just bursted through so much mana and then spent even more to ensure Zemina had a protective overshield around here. She'd feel this protective barrier that'd work against magical entities like these undead that no doubt attacked with dark melee magic.

'Not yet... finish the job Raiza.. FINISH THE JOB!!!' , struggling to his feet to begin firing off rounds, time was already almost over down to the last second as Raiza began to pull the trigger once per undead animal, the bullets remained stationary until time let up, and the three undead animals fell to the ground dead from the magic bullets tearing through them so effortlessly while he still had three trigger pulls left. He found himself only about to fire off the remaining, having taken out three of the ghosts, now that all remained was the last three which were still lingering had dive bombed Raiza, going right through him, taking magical strikes into his body, draining him of his life force and trying to possess the youth.

Only able to push them out barely as he swiped at them with his gunblade, cutting one and killing it, the two that remained looked like they were about to dive bomb again ready to take Raiza out, though from the first sweep they took out more than a quarter of Raiza's life. no doubt this time, they'd drop him to half if he didn't come up with something quick. Though oddly enough, the only thing in his mind was 'I hope that six seconds... gave you ample time to do anything you needed friend, and that shield will protect you', it was a pain to even try and deal with now as he held his gunblade in the sword stance, ready to strike when the ghosts got near him.

Technique and Post info:

Zemina had time bought for her, in the form of stopping time itself. She didn't exactly know how it worked, as if time stopped the flow of mana stopped, but somehow she was left out of it. Zemina closed her eyes, finding the remaining portion of the neccesary mana inside the sword, and pooling it in. The magic circle at her feet stretched outward to thirty meters, and it began to turn purple. "Curse three! Pillam Dedom!!!" she yelled, her eyes opening exposing the fiery orange orbs. "Agni shall consume you with his cursed fire, now back to hell with you all!" Zemina watched as the magic circle vanished, and within a split second a large purple explosion of fire engulfed Zemina, Raiza, and any enemy within the range. Each enemy perished, and Zemina left nothing in her wake. This spell in term demolished everyone, at the expense of harming both Zemina and Raiza (sorry, its just in my head i'm imagining you relatively close. It will do 5% damage). It didn't harm the swordswoman much, but what did was the fact that she still had that bite, and it began worsening.

Damn.... I need to find Dai n-

Her eyes widened, as a figure was standing outside the cabin as Zemina and Raiza approached it. It was a male, around Zemina's age, except the problem was that he looked as a zombie just like the others. Zemina was too late, and she couldn't help her childhood best friend, one that she hasn't seen in over 10 years. He wore a torn shirt, and clearly had a bite mark in his right arm. It was deep, and left blood stains down his arm. "Dai!!!" Zemina yelled out worridly, running up to him, standing about a meter away. Enough for her sword to still pierce his throat, need it be. "I couldn't help.... I'm sorry. You reached out to me and I couldn't answer the call. Forgive me, and make peace." Zemina looked down, only to be slapped and slashed by the man in question, Dai. He left a heavily bleeding claw-type mark on her face, but Zemina didn't react the way she normally would, by tearing his throat out. She just stabbed him through the chest, and then took the flaming sword out of him, and dispelled the Agni Form, her appearance returning to normal. She sliced his chest with the now-not fiery blade, and then watched as Dai fell to his knees. Zemina looked down, and walked off to the cabin, only saying back to Raiza "Finish him off, I'll inspect the house." She said this with a heavily depressed tone, having being the one to cause the death of one of her good friends, one she loved like a brother. It pained the woman who never really felt emotional pain.

Already seriously panting in the sudden loss of a huge mana, and with the ghosts having done a second sweeping attack, the time was now to perform the counter. Sadly he wasn't quick enough to take the suckers out, not enough practice at this gun shooting, then again they moved ridiculously fast, avoided his attacks, and worse yet his gun wasn't reloaded. Though he wasn't this slow normally, it was just perhaps the old fact he was so low on mana that his own attack speed was a fraction of the normal strikes. A winced pain as the ghost flew through him again, almost feeling like they were siphoning his health away upon each strike.

Even looking down at his 'Heads up display' he knew he was weak. 'Damn, I dont regenerate mana enough for this. My health is roughly half, and my mana is less than a quarter before empty. I wonder... what happens at zero?', readying his gun up to blast the ghosts before flame erupted past him, though he didn't expect to be turned against like this, he knew it was just a side effect. The ghosts and ghouls around were destroyed for the most part. Things were starting to look good, and the flames did minimal damage compared to a strike from the ghosts. Though a few burn marks on his exposed skin, others were patches of burnt clothing on his robes. His hair was slightly burn, not too bad but it was the sudden outburst that saved him, he understood that. Damn though, glad he put his shield up on Zemina, that close range attack? That couldn't painfully caused a lot of discomfort.

Though for the most part, Raiza was okay, and although no more enemies were around..well except one unforseeable situation. The that Raiza saw step out of the house was easily someone that meant a lot to Zemina, watching her reactions to even being attacked by him made Raiza cringe. 'damn this is why you dont get attached to anyone...', feeling kind of sorry for Zemina as he staggered a bit, shifting his weight as he watched the man fall to his knees helplessly, Raiza knew this was over, but what was unexpected was 'she left him... to me to kill? I guess shes unable to hurt her lover... I assume thats what he is to her...was'

Unable to disagree, Raiza waited for Zemina to enter the cabin "Rest in piece, bury the hatchet of all your problems, and become one with the eternal resting place, may the after life become a blessing to you, friend of a friend. I cannot guide you to the everlasting tranquility, but i can help you start your path. Do not forgive me, for an evil like me shant need forgiveness", feeling alright with his words he whispered, even to the point of raising his gun up, his hand twitched a few times aiming for the head.

A single trigger pull would send two magic rounds from the gunblade's double barrels and fly into the man's forehead, ending the zombification curse forever, as the brain was scrambled at that point. He let out a soft sigh as the man fell from his knees and onto the ground face first, the only groaning word he said was not audible to Raiza as he nodded in respect. "and so begins my descent I guess" he whispered out of ear shot from Zemina.

Though the next fact was that now the undead were dealt with...what now? Should he leave Zemina alone so his weakened state wasn't something she could take advantage of? Or should he stay and risk the fact he could be attacked like earlier. His only thoughts right now was he knew both he and Zemina were highly weakened from mana loss, but he suffered a huge hit from the ghost ambush.

The sigh he gave as he dropped to his hands and knees the sudden pull of more mana nearly collapsing him "more... let me pull more..." he begged, charging energy up into his palm, his tattoo burned at him as his body throbbed in pain from so much mana draining, except somewhere in his mind he knew he'd faint soon, maybe be able to help Zemina out once more by giving her something to restore her long enough escape the woods. Though something told Raiza that with the man dead and so many undead destroyed, that they were safe for a bit. Perhaps use the cabin as a resting point if they needed. Though, still on his hands and knees, sweat dripped from his ash covered face from the flame attack, he tried to keep what energy he had, still yet charging his next technique.

info-Read first paragraph note:

After thorough investigation of the cabin, Zemina exited with her sword sheathed and began walking away with a piece of paper in her hands. She balled it up and threw it to Raiza, not because it was trash but because if it was compact it would be easier to throw and cover more distance. The piece of paper, had he chosen to read it would state.

To Zemina,

If you're reading this the infection was too dire and its worsened to the point of there is no saving me. Don't blame yourself, my letter must have not reached you in time. You may have encountered enemies, any other factor. My death is not your fault. However there is something that you can do, for me in my afterlife. Just please follow the map that is on the table, and go to that city. You'll find all of your answers there, and a way to stop it. Please, don't let this infection get to any more innocent people. I know you've trained in magic forever, so please go there and put a stop to it. For me...

-Dai

Zemina threw the note to Raiza not for the fact of him reading Dai's personal note to Zemina, but in case he wanted to tag along. She herself already began following the trail, with her sword ready and the map. Zemina already had food, so she didn't need to worry about hunting, and she could go without sleep for a day or two. This was something she owed to Dai, for letting him perish.

ooc: final post for this thread as pm dictated

---

Once Raiza began to pool enough Mana into a ball, he looked at the woman with an exaggerated sigh. "Access player inventory" he muttered, the in that moment, food and drink would appear in not only his hands but in Zemina's hands as well, or at least pop up in front of her and hover there for a short while. "eat...it restores your mana, and it heals wounds", though he collapsed to on his side, trying to recooperate himself. The woman had no clue how much mana he just spent in order to get her those six seconds, or the opportunity to even remotely get out of that hoard. Instead all she did was throw paper at him. Shame really but now he was here, why bother following her this time? That was annoying as hell anyways.

bringing the food to his mouth he took a bit, yes feeling finally recovered but the lack of mana was still rather painfully exhausting, as was all those wounds and the burn wounds that were healing up. Eventually able to struggle before Zemina got too far, if she didn't stop that was. It would only be a few feet before he could stand and stagger along, not even reading the paper. Though it wasn't right to just go without being informed at all, so reading what the contents of the paper be began to understand Zemina a little bit more.

'I see... Zemina you're stronger than you seem, able to hide on the outside what you're doing to yourself on the inside...you're destroying yourself', not wishing to follow too much, he let his body carry him to follow her, the one obvious fact was he was already in this...might as well finish it
