Haku laughed. "It'll be worth a bigger celebration when we clear this dungeon."<br/><br/>Kiriei watched gladly as her health bar crept back up until she was recovered. "I dunno. I think this is worth celebrating," she said with a smile.<br/><br/>The two shared a look at Kyle's next comment. "I just met him a few minutes ago," Kiriei confessed.<br/><br/>"I suppose it's possible we met outside of the game, but I don't feel like exchanging identities," Haku said.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>The "secret tunnel" turned out to just be a sort of walk way to a big room. There was a waterfall flowing down the wall of one side of the room, and it made a sort of river that cut across the rest of it. The place looked harmless enough, but as soon as they stepped in the room, a bunch of little fish monster things came out of the river. Again, they were more cute than scary.<br/><br/>Yami drew back on his drawstring, ready to start shooting, then he felt something sharp cut across his arm. Apparently these little fish people could shoot spines out of their backs. How annoying. Roku couldn't get close to them if they were using projectile weapons, and Yami didn't like the idea of fighting fire with fire. He figured he might as well make use of his main class now.<br/><br/>Yami lifted his hands into the "casting" position and electricity built up around him. In a split second, the voltage shot at the fish monsters, who, unfortunately, were positively drenched with water. Yami didn't even need to add extra fuel to the fire, the electricity naturally spread from one water source to the next until all the fish people were being zapped. He was impressed how well they programmed the laws of physics into this game.<br/><br/>"Well let's go," Yami said, starting to lead the way. Roku caught his arm though, asking him to wait a minute. The boy held up his hands to Yami's cut. It wasn't a bad injury, and the boy healed it easily. The injury wouldn't have made much of a difference whether it had been healed or not, so Yami figured the action was more just to inform him what magic the boy could use.<br/><br/>"Do you have any offensive magic?" Yami asked. This received a shake of the boy's head. "Alright. Good to know," Yami said, starting to walk again.<br/><br/>((<a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snPnUtkyrmc">Roku's Battle Theme</a>))<br/><br/>--------------------------------------<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">In town, the market area</span><br/><br/>Galen had been bartering with the shop keeper for several minutes now. He was trying to sell several furs he'd obtained from hunting in the wild, but the man insisted on belittling their value. In Galen's eyes all life was precious, so the furs should be worth a lot. Eventually, he was able to accept the offer he was given, comforting himself by reminding himself that the animals in this game technically were never alive.<br/><br/>The archer turned away from the stand. He was tall, with dark, long, brown hair, deep blue eyes, pointed ears and very angular features. He had a decidedly elvish appearance, which was odd since there technically were no elves in this particular game. He took a glance at his hunger meter, seeing it was beginning to drop. He may as well get a few apples before heading out again.<br/><br/>((Welcome charrie number 5 !blush ))
