[center][h3][color=000000][i]~The Black City~[/i][/color][/h3] [url=https://youtu.be/VVv9F47c1Dg]BGM[/url][/center] As the battles kept on raging everywhere around the Ebony Strykers sacred territories, with chaos and destruction spreading like a wild fire, a group of five players made their way through less crowded streets and back alleys on their way to the city's inner wards. [color=c0c0c0]"Avoid any unnecessary fights, we have to get to the rendezvous point as fast as possible or we will not be able to accomplish our objective."[/color] Their leader, a Healer named [url=http://i.imgur.com/8UjRVwE.jpg]Argent Maiden[/url], gestured to the area beyond the Market Place, where the hangars should be located. [color=c0c0c0]"Let's take shortcut through the Sanctuary, we don't need to face opposition from their armored troops."[/color] Argent Maiden ordered a change of course once she noticed the tanks laying on the open area before them. However, they couldn't foresee that the Santuary was a heated battlefield as well, [color=c0c0c0]"That's still the fastest path, let's take cover somewhere and wait for an opportunity to come. I'm sure the Strykers will try to retake their respawn point sooner or later, when they do we use that chance to slip right in and cut a path to that War Machine. If we capture it before they move it outside the city, our mission will be successful."[/color] [center][h3][color=9632cc][i]~Eclipse Princess~[/i][/color][/h3][/center] [color=9632cc]"Well, looks like they accepted both of us."[/color] Eclipse Princess said as he came back to meet with Nies, by the White City's gate. Stark Zealot continued to observe their movement silently for some time, but eventually retreated inside the city, probably to stand beside his king once more. Eclipse Princess clasped her hands around Nies', bringing the two of them closer while keeping her gaze fixed on Nies' eyes. [color=9632cc]"I really admire your dedication, Nies, but you have to keep in mind that what I'm may not be the right choice. If it turns to be so, I wouldn't like to see you get dragged to hell with me. Rather than that, if I go too far, I trust you to be the one to stop me."[/color] [color=9632cc]"We have around two hours left before I go sleep. Maybe we can try to do a dungeon, or quest?"[/color] Eclipse Princess asked, still holding Nies' hands. [color=9632cc]"Anyway, I'll log off quickly, you don't need to come with me. Just wait here, I'll be back in less than ten minutes."[/color] Princess logged off of DGO, the expression in her face being the one of someone who had apparently forgotten something and went back to fix it. [center][h3][color=faa700][i]~Itsuko M. Kanzaki~[/i][/color][/h3][/center] Itsuko waited patiently as Hibiki set everything up, observing how the other girl had the skills Itsuko lacked, home skills. [color=faa520]"Y'know, Hibiki, you probably could be a cool maid, if you wished to."[/color] Itsuko commented idly, before turning to look at Huntress and Train, [color=ffa700]"Huntress is really the best, huh? She really has this thing for cats, none can escape her."[/color] [color=ffa700]"Oh? That's cool, even if that game has less planes than some of the older ones."[/color] The blonde said, even though she pounced on the controller, claiming [color=ffa700]"Tomcat!"[/color] [center][h3][color=dc143c][i]~Eris Reinhardt~[/i][/color][/h3][/center] [color=dc143c]"Mmm... mmm..."[/color] Eris groaned, fellling an annoying poking sensation on her face as she woke up on the real world, once more. She could also feel the warmth of Cassandra right beside her, [color=dc143c]"I-I cannot-"[/color] Eris chastised herself as she noticed that she had, unconsciously, leaned on Cassandra while they were logged. Even then, the poking never stopped and, once she was fed up with it, Eris turned on her bed to see the source of it (wondering if Cassandra let some animal in), only to find a shark toothed blonde that Eris didn't have a clue as to who she was. [color=dc143c]"And... you are?"[/color] Eris said, grabbing the girl's index finger, with a pretty pissed off look in her face. Luckily the girl looked more like a buffoon out of her place than a threat, so Eris decided not to reach for the knife she had under her pillow.
