Forest Freakout [Job w/ Quill]

" Okay Luna if you want to stay fine, but i'm not going back home, you plan the wedding and we can do it but i'm not going back so that bearded pile of dung the satisfaction of getting his way. UH, why did you have to track me down for this dumb arrange wedding thing." Quill was talking to Luna who if you don't know of already, is Quill's soon to be wife because their parents arrange them to marry so their two companies can become one. Luna is the oldest of 4 children, she also shared Quill hatred of this arrange marriage but she doesn't care anymore because she would be able to explore the world now."OKAY HUSBAND, you try and be stuck in that country with nothing to do because of your title, it is more bored then watching paint dry." Lucky for Quill Poko had shown up," Oh look, my friend is here, im going to see what she wants."

He drags her to his study and then said," Okay, so why are you here, as you can see i'm dealing with a pain in the rear of a arranged bride that is being more frustrating then anything i have to deal with." Poko had shown Quill a book with lacrima recording on them, it sound like they had ran into something that was something,"Okay so i'm guessing you want me to help you out on what happen to the guy on the recording, okay i will help out. Anything to get me away from that banshee or at less give me more of a chance to explore the land." he then open a portal but then he sicked his head out the window and screamed,"HEY IM GOING ON A ADVENTURE, DON'T KILL ANYTHING WHILE I AM GONE." Luna then gave Quill the birdy and Quill went threw the portal.

Quill then ask Poko where they were going, when she had told him where they were going he then started to think,"Wait, where is this location?" He doesn't want to even know where he was going he just want to burn time so he doesn't have to get back to Luna. It has turned out that this place is a forest."Hu, its a forest, whelp lets go to it now and find these knights so i can get back to paradise so Luna doesn't do anything bad." He didn't really want go back but he had to anyway when he is done with the job, but then something happened while walking to the location they needed to go to.

Quill looked at Poko who asked him who Luna was,"Her name is Luna Ark, first born daughter of the Ark family which makes magic items and my arrange bride. My father who is chef of Stoneheart Forge thought it would be a good idea to have his daughter marry me so they can make both magic weapons and items. I met her at the age of 7 and told her that i would take her to adventure around the world, about 9 years later i took off and that ticked her off. She then tracked me down, and we will be getting married when the time comes, we are the same age and i can't back out of it because it is my countries law. Even out of it i have to follow it." They had entered the forest, it didn't feel like a normal forest but one that had been cursed, but Quill thinks most locations are cursed because he keeps hearing the word cursed thrown around like a bouncy ball. Quill don't like the feeling of the place, it felt like something was going to murder them at any moment, he then looked around for a bit to see what kind of plant life there is in this forest. One of the plants Quill had saw was called a Deathsong, it is a flower normally used as a remembrance flower for those's who have passed away. They also make a very tasty but strange flavor when used in a tea and brewed properly. Another plant was the bleeding heart flower, it looks like a heart but it leaks red sap out from a opening from the bottom of it, it is very pretty to look out but very risky to keep since the do sometimes attract bees.

Quill heard a loud crash of something, it seemed close but there was no telling what it was. it might of been a animal or someone else or maybe something that wanted to kill them, or a ghost, either way Quill took a note of that. He then heard Poko said that they are being followed by something, he then looked at her and said,"Poko we are in a forest that is more creepy then those people that make those's lewd pictures of woman. I am pretty sure it is just a animal or something, if anything comes out and tries to kill you, just kill it. Poko are you okay, you are acting like we are being hunted by a pack of wolves or dogs?" He then heard another loud crashing noise and fired a round in the direction where it came from, what ever it was it was getting to Quill as well. Then a large branch was thrown at both Quill and Poko, Quill had smashed the branch since it was brittle already."Okay i think we might be doing something that might be a bit above my pay grade, Poko remind me to never let you bring me into something like this ever again because i have enough problems at home and I don't want to deal with, what ever this is." Then 3 small rocks wang he on the head as well as Poko, this was getting annoying so Quill had fired six more rounds to where ever the rocks were coming from.

"OKAY WHO IS DOING THAT, THAT IS NOT FUNNY." Quill then reloaded and fired even more rounds into the forest, he hit a branch that was flying at him but the also shot a random tree as well. Then he saw it, a figure in the distance, Quill assumes that this is the person that has been messing with them so he charges at the figure at full speed, being dumb and not waiting to see who it is. Fog did mask the person but he didn't care, all he wanted to do was punch in the teeth to who ever is throwing stuff at him and Poko.

When he got to the figure it was bigger then he thought it was, so he activated Magma weapons and started firing 3 shells into it. The creature didn't seem fazed but Poko had came in and started to slash at it with a sword she had, so Quill started shooting its legs. It looked like nothing would faze it but he then shot off something, it fell and started to attack Quill, he manage to fight it but it looked like it was winning. Then Quill shoot it with Scatter 3 times and it blew up into a massive goop pile, Quill was covered in it and the monster had ran away from the situation at hand, dropping 7 papers, it seemed that the monster didn't seem to be a fighter but more like it feeds off of weaker people that go into a fear like state when they see it. Guess that what happen to the knight, Quill was then hugged by Poko and Quill had said," OKAY that was very weird and you shouldn't be hugging me right now, i am covered in slime and it is starting to crust up. Also what the hell was that and where can i go to never see it ever again." Quill was wide eye and didn't want to be there anymore, he rather be back in his homeland dealing with his father.

He then saw the seven pages that have been dropped by the creature when it ran away, he notice that they look like the same pages that are used in the book,"Um Poko, i think you want to take a look at what i just found." He picked up the pages and then saw that they had something written on them, then he saw it was just dirt and brushed it off. The messages in the page sounded like something you would hear out of a horror movie or a scary black box recording. It mostly explain what had happen to the knight during his disappearance, the fog finally went away and the duo left the forest, Quill then looked at Poko and said,"Okay i need to head back to Paradise, please come and visit more often Poko, knowing Luna i am going to have to have to do a lot of work or im going to do a lot of adventures with her. Also when I get married I will invite the guild over to paradise so we can party, or at less no hear Luna not say i don't have anyone to witness our wedding. Also, send me my half the the rewards when you get it." And with that Quill had gotten to a spot that was very far way from that forest and open a portal to Paradise where Luna was waiting for him. Luna didn't seem all to happy of him for just diching her with someone that looked like Poko, she just died eye stare at him, Quill then made dinner and they talked, she understood that Poko and him are just friends, Guild mates, and work partners. That night she actually shown affection to Quill and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to her room for the night.
