Dar fought his way back through the forest and back to the fields. He had been at Horunka for awhile now, completing as many quests as he could during the day, and had finally outfitted himself with some heavy armor. It wasn't a fantastic set, but it was something to start with. If he was really going to be going with a two handed weapon, odds were that he was going to take a hit more often then most. With that in mind, he wanted the best protection possible.

Getting through the forest was a lot easier during the day. Part of it was because Dar had grown used to it now. Still, he had wished that Geist and Linc had decided to stick around. He wasn't really liking the idea of becoming a solo player in this death game. He would feel a lot safer if there was someone to watch his back.

Dar went into his menu and did a quick player search. Something else had been bugging him for awhile and he hadn't bothered to check.

[color=0076a3]"Suzuka usually uses the same screen name from game to game....I wonder if she's in here?[/color]" Dar thought aloud as he searched through the players nearby. He tried to find Suzuka through some of her old aliases but had no such luck. On the one hand, Dar was happy that she wasn't trapped in here. On the other hand, he was still alone. 

[color=0076a3]"No use standing around, might as well go find some people."[/color] Dar sighed as he checked his map and moved out.
