Setting Up Shop

Image
This is a tiny island in the middle of the vast sea, the only rest point for those who attempt to cross the Abyssal Sea. The trees that have stood there since times unheard of still produce random fruits at random times.

_The monster was successfully killed. In fact, Featherbomb was totally unnecessary. She was kinda' right about the prize, too. At the beginning of Tori's combo, she'd notice that a fist-sized orb of light that flashed through white and the primary colors of pigments, those being red, blue, and yellow, popped up out of the monster's center and appeared to infuse into her. Once the creature was totally dead, another orb did the same. Tori then glowed in pulses, and items appeared in her hand exactly three seconds after the first orb had been absorbed: One vial of ether (blue liquid, restores a little MA and CH) and two ink sacs (roughly bean-shaped, each filled with 1 pint of black ink). Three seconds after the second orb had been absorbed, Tori stopped glowing and obtained two vials of Ether, three ink sacs, a slab of bregopus meat (looks more like white chicken than anything), and a potion bottle (green liquid, restores some HE). Overall, it wasn't a bad score._

‾▿‾Tori carried all the spoils and flew back to the island.‾▿‾

Sweet! Oh, uh, are you okay? Did it manage to hit you again while I was in there?

‾▿‾She laid the contents of her arms out onto the beach, divvying them up as follows: one ether and three ink sacs for her, two ethers, two ink sacs, and the potion to Crevasseus, and the slab of foreign meat still in her hands so that she could continue to examine it as though it was going to bite.‾▿‾

"I'm fine. No, it didn't hit me again, I just exhausted everything I had on that barrage of missiles" he explains.

As Tori divides up the loot, Crevasseus feels around for his sunglasses. Must have fallen off in the water, he thinks. He stands and stretches out his spine, nearly falling over.

Oh, no problem. Do the missiles take some of your physical endurance, or were you just tired from what happened before we met up? Also, is that loot division to your liking?

‾▿‾Glyphus, Nadia, Uxuilda, Zurakuk, and Zurakuk's baby descended and made their landings. Glyphus didn't land, of course; as soon as Nadia hopped off, Glyphus seemed to just disappear. Tori dismissed her Bloodroost and handed the Winghammer to Nadia.‾▿‾

What's the meat?

I honestly don't know.

Crevasseus kneels at the pile, feels around, and nods.

"Seems good to me. As far as the missiles: It takes a lot of effort on my mind's part to use that much magic and still be awake. Before we met, I used a great deal of my magic to set off traps and opening that portal."

He looks up at the girls. "Have either of you seen my glasses?"

‾▿‾Nadia looked around and shrugged at Tori, who looked back at the shore.‾▿‾

I'm pretty sure that they got busted while you were being constricted. Sorry.

‾▿‾The feather on her headband glowed and absorbed her share of the loot.‾▿‾

"That's a shame; I rather liked that pair."

He stood and held his mechanical arm close to his rib cage.

"Oh, well. Anyway, what are you ladies going to do, now?"

He glanced in the direction of the water, smiling at the smell of salt emanating from the it.

‾▿‾Tori looked toward the village on the shallow waters to the north. Her avian sight was impeccable, so she could pick out details easily, though it'd be little more than a speck to Crevasseus if his eyes worked.‾▿‾

Well, I don't have any plans. I guess that I'll just explore around and go to the town to the north. Maybe the people there are friendly and can tell me about this dimension.

Yeah, like what kind of meat this is and how to cook it.

If it isn't some venerated sea deity to them or something, that is.

Totally worth the risk.

Can't say that we have anything to lose that we know of. What about you?

"I want to find a way to restore my sight. Assuming there is one of course. Not sure where I'll go from there."

His heart sinks slightly. Knowing my shitty luck, his thoughts whisper there won't be one.

He nods in their direction "Then again, who knows, maybe it's better being blind, eh? Some of the greatest things are blind; justice, faith, that sort of thing."

‾▿‾Nadia again changed the BGM.‾▿‾

Uh, okay. Any ideas of how or where to do that?

"Not off the top of my head no. If there is a town then there may be a Ley Line i can access to feel for magical presences. There may be something if i find one. If you know of a way to the nearest town or residency i would appreciate some assistance."

Okay,

‾▿‾Tori simply responded. She lept straight up and beat her wings to get more height. She rotated while hovering to get a view of . . . well, basically the entire visible portion of the planet Houcm. She dropped quickly, then flapped her wings briefly before reaching the ground in order to make the drop do nothing to her legs.‾▿‾

There's that village to the north, further north leads to a city that looks like it's in ruins, and there is a mountain region that has some castle towers on it. There are other small buildings in random spots everywhere else.

‾▿‾If she had gone higher, maybe she would have been able to see into the center of that "mountain" and see that it's basically hollowed out to be a castle city, but she hadn't.‾▿‾

"Anywhere on land is better than out here. If you'd be willing, would you help an old cripple out . . . "

Crevasseus rolls up his pant legs until slightly above ankle height.

" . . . Please?"

Ehehe, no need to beg . . . ^^;

‾▿‾Tori wasn't sure what Crevasseus was exactly going for, be it pity or a joke, but the display reminded her that he, unlike most people that she was used to, lacked wings.‾▿‾

Er, right. Your arms are fine, right? If I lift you by your shoulders, it won't hurt?

"I wouldn't feel a thing. Why?"

I don't need to be lifted onto a boat. Just tell me where the blasted thing is, he thought, confused.
