Quests

As a seasoned adventurer specializing in the digital arts, I have been taking quests left and right. Usually it will be with a partner of higher status, or someone who is equal to me. However this time, my partner was a new adventurer who specialty was unknown to me.

As she walked into the guild, I first noticed her manner of dress. It seemed traditional, while exhibiting signs of youth. She carried a bag which held her weapons of choice along with other things. It seemed a bit different from my manner of dress, which involved a good layer of special flexible armor that also kept me warm with a special armored bag. I greeted her, as I do every other partner, and we set off.

Making our way to the specified area of our quest, we fell into conversation. We quickly realized we had several common interests such as weaponry and agriculture. So we fell into conversation as we discussed the ins and outs of both.

As we approached the site, I started to cautiously walk toward the beast we were supposed to defeat. Unfortunately the beast somehow sensed that we were here, and immediately leapt to attack us. I quickly put up my Shield of Reset and pushed it back, causing it to attack my partner. As she defended herself, I finally saw her specialty, which was wit. Using it, she created a net of empathy which then held the beast down, letting me using my skill of absolute knowledge to destroy it.

As I picked up the proof of conquest and drank some rejuvenating water, I noticed my partner replenishing herself. Apparently one of the other items in her bag included a collection of large grapefruits, which were used to replenish her HP. As to why she didn’t just squeeze all juice from them and pour it into vials, I did not know.

Making our way back, we fell into discussion again. It was quite an interesting first battle, and my partner seemed just as capable as the the senior adventurers I was with before. Perhaps this was the beginning of a new partnership, but who knows?
