Ralia smiled and followed after him, attacking a nearby group of boats. Her fighting style was less acrobatic, less physical but graceful. She could feel the magic pulsing from her chest, flowing to her hands and channeling through her staff. It was exhilarating. This was unlike any gaming experience had ever had. In real life Brielle had little coordination or grace but here as Ralia she felt elegant and confident. She flourished her staff in intricate patterns sending bolts of energy flying in three directions striking three boars. A boar leapt at her from behind but with a simple twirl and a flick of her staff she stunned it. She took two quick steps before swinging her staff striking the boat down. She felt a wave of warmth similar to her magic and smiled at the number two that appeared next to her name. The first level up was always so satisfying. However this experience made it exponentially more so because she could physically feel the power, the movements, the attacks. She leapt gracefully to the next group of boars stunning one upon landing. Another struck her in the side and she was intrigued by the sensation of pain. It was so different to experience a game in which she could feel the damage. It added a bit of urgency but also greatly enhanced her adrenaline. She swung her staff swiftly stabbing the point into the boar sending an electric shock through its body until it shattered. At that point the stunned boar leapt up and she slid beneath it striking it in the back with a bolt of magic. She straightened up exhaling happily. She felt so alive!
