Reminisce ~ What Was Lost

With everything set, the trio of hunters set forth across the plains once again heading northwest. The midday sun sat perched upon its throne in the middle of the sky, the fluffy white cumulus clouds not even daring to cover it up allowing it to blaze down upon anything that chanced to be outside. The breeze was still as cool as the previous night's bringing great comfort to the hunters as they made their way to the garden. It became evident they were near, for the aroma that wafted through the air was far more sweet than anything else upon the plains. It was but nothing more than another half hour before they were surrounded by beautiful flowers and shrubs of all sorts, most not seen anywhere else on the plains. Someone had to have planted them.

Dolce ordered for them to stop and took a few steps forward. The area was very calm. Only the sound of rustling plants in the wind could be heard before she spoke. "This is definitely our destination." She looked to the north and pointed at a large, sandstone building in the near distance. Etched into the walls looked like mysterious glyphs and at the entrance, two statues of angels stood--one on each side. "That would be Shirya Shrine. We'll take a stop there after we deal with whatever's here."

"But....there doesn't seem to be anything," Teresa spoke up, though she was still on her guard. She placed a hand on the hilt of her weapon.

Dolce removed her bow and nocked an arrow. "Good thinking there, baby doll. We're obviously not alone."

Screeches filled the air. A lot of them. The group was suddenly surrounded by mandragoras. At the edge of the garden stood a much larger version of them, though it seemed a bit different. In addition to giant leaves on its head, a beautiful purple and yellow tropical flower sat. It pointed at the group and laughed while the little mandragoras danced in joy. There was no telling what they were thinking, but they were the problem, so they had to be eliminated.

When the creatures appeared, Erix took out his new book and found the section that held information about them. He began skimming over the information, taking in every little bit he saw that could help out. He looked to the two women to see that they were already prepared to attack. "All right, then. Let's do this."

Player Phase 1!

Teresa moves to E8.

Teresa instantly performed a backflip and held her blade so that as she landed, she sliced downwards on the mandragora behind her before crouching low and dealing two deft slashes upon it. These things seemed even weaker now than they were before. Were they getting stronger? She held her blade at the ready for the other mandragora were still wary, not like it mattered much.

Teresa attacks Gentot! 3 hits! 8 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Sure Hit]

Dolce attacks Valurus! 11 Dmg! (ATK)

Dolce released the arrow that was already on her bow and watched as it pierced through one of the creatures causing it to shriek in agony before falling over. "Priorities! Take out the little ones first; avoid using mana to do so...well, unless you're the mage!" she commanded, stumbling a bit at the end causing her to laugh. She forgot that was how magicians mainly dealt damage--through the consumption and control of mana.

Dolce waits.

Erix moves to E5!

With a combination of the text he had read and pure common sense, he figured he could take these little mandragoras much more easily than he had last night. Using one of the spells from his old tome that he had memorized, he attacked one of the creatures that was close to him.

Erix casts Dancing Flame on Erba! 9 Fire Dmg! (INT) [Chance of Burn]

34/40 MP

Valurus takes 10 Dmg!

Erba takes 19 Dmg!

Teresa moves to D8.

"Like lambs to the slaughter," Teresa stated smugly as she laid waste to another plant monster with several quick slashes from her katana. She wondered why the others hadn't just run away. Were they not aware of their fate, or were they just that willing to die? She glanced over at the larger creature. It had a rather stupid expression upon its face and she grimaced, but said nothing and thought nothing.

Teresa attacks Walre! 3 hits! 8 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Sure Hit]

Dolce moves to C6.

"Come and get some!" Dolce growled as she charged the mandragora that was getting close to her. She tucked away her bow and retrieved her greatsword from its rightful spot on her back. Swinging it over her head, she made to slam it down on the helpless monster before her and did so without mercy. "It helps to be heartless in situations like these," she advised her recruits. "They may look cute, but they're monsters. They sure as hell won't hesitate to tear you a new one if you're not careful."

Dolce attacks Clarent! 11 Dmg! (ATK)

Erix moves to G5!

The creatures seemed to fall beneath his and Teresa's attacks much more easily than before. It was clear that both their skills had increased since the previous night. Following Dolce's advice, he ignored the larger creature that approached, and proceeded to attack more of the smaller ones.

Erix casts Dancing Flame on Ruco! 9 Fire Dmg! (INT) [Chance of Burn]

Teresa moves to F6.

Teresa dashed through the grass of the garden and leapt into the air only to land perfectly next to the mandragora that was attacking Erix. "Soulless creature," she spat as she hacked away at it with her blade. "Leave the last of the rabble to me; the big guy's getting impatient," she offered. She knew she wasn't in charge, but it seemed like the best plan of action.

Teresa attacks Luta! 3 hits! 8 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Sure Hit]

"Fine by me, chick," Dolce said and grinned, placing her greatsword back on her back and pulled out her bow with ease. She pulled an arrow back upon it and focused. A slight distortion in the air appeared around the shaft of the arrow, and as she released it, several more arrows trailed immediately behind it, even though she hadn't nocked anymore or made any effort to fire more than one. One after the other the arrows pierced into the large body of the mandrake.

Dolce waits.

"That sounds like a fine plan to me," he said, making his way toward the larger creature and attacking.

Teresa didn't even blink as she shredded the little plant creature into nothingness with a flurry of slashes before turning her attention to the remaining monster: the primary target, it seemed. "You guys have it under control?" she questioned them with a slight smirk on her face. The monsters hadn't served up much of a challenge at all, which might have been a good thing. She thought back to how she had almost lost her life to a 'challenging' monster last night and frowned.

"Done, and done," Dolce said promptly as she let loose another arrow. The creature surely couldn't withstand another round of assaults. It looked as if someone could blow on it and it would die. "Sad fate, eh? Choose a different garden next time, you annoying bastard." She put away her weapons, knowing that the job was pretty much complete.

Dolce waits.

Erix waits.

Erix saw that Dolce's attack would be the end of the larger creature, so he didn't even bother to attack. "Simple enough," he said, closing his book and holding it by his side.

Kerad takes 8 Dmg!

Kerad KO!

Mow takes 21 Dmg!

All was quiet in the garden once again, and Dolce began walking north to the small path that led to the shrine. Just as she reached the beginning of it, she stopped in her tracks and pulled out her bow in seconds. She was really quick with that thing. "Shit. We're not done here," she said ominously. The ground started shaking, and in the distance, several bouncing figures could be seen. They were more large mandrakes making their way to the garden across the plains. Dolce nocked an arrow.

"So there were more of them? Should've figured just one alone and some rabble couldn't keep the medics away," Teresa stated sharply and readied her katana for another battle. She was looking forward to entering the shrine, but they had a job to do first, so it was time to get it complete for good.

Character placement for this battle is set!

Player Phase 1!

Teresa moves to D4.

Teresa dodged around Erix and rushed one of the large plant creatures, katana at the ready. As she drew nearer and her target was in range, she unleashed a barrage of slashes, deep cuts appearing in the creature's body. Green ooze seeped out of the wounds; it was thick and viscous. Teresa swung her blade fiercely through the air to clear it of the blood, but it clung to the blade causing her to grimace.

Teresa attacks Rydos! 3 hits! 10 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Sure Hit]

Dolce moves to B5.

"Let's get this show on the road then," Dolce stated simply as she loosed her arrow. An air distortion formed around her bow merely seconds after causing several more arrows to be loosed in such a short amount of time that she couldn't have fired them all without aid. Each appeared to find its mark causing the giant plant to look like a monstrous bleeding pincushion.

Dolce uses Watchkeeper on Rydos! 5 hits! 8 Dmg! 8 Dmg! 13 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 8 Dmg! 13 Dmg! CRITICAL!! (ATK)

MP: 20/30

Erix moves to D5!

"Nothing can ever be that easy, can it? There's always some catch." Erix walked calmly behind Teresa, speaking a spell as he went. He was fairly sure Dolce's target was finished, but he didn't know if Teresa's was, so, just to make sure...

Erix casts Thorn's Flash on Rydos! 13 Lightning Dmg! (INT)

34/40 MP

Rydos takes 68 Dmg!

MP: 25/35

Teresa easily deflected the damage from the attack of the first plant and saw the other one coming a mile away, dodging easily out of the way of its blow. She shook her head and plunged her katana into the ground. "You are right, Erix. It's never as easy as it seems," she said as two large, dark green thorns of energy burst out of the ground from underneath the two mandrakes that were attacking her before several more joined, piercing the monsters further.

Teresa waits.

Dolce moves to B2.

Was that a treasure chest nearby? Dolce paused a moment to crane her neck to look over the shrubs before taking a few strides closer. It was. She smiled. Treasure was always an added bonus. There were still a lot of monsters left, but it looked like Teresa had them under control. Still...

"Time to let it rip! Take cover!!" she shouted as she raised her bow to the sky, a myriad of arrows placed haphazardly on the string. It looked impossible for them to be fired properly at the same time, but the hunter drew them all back and released them upwards at such a speed that they disappeared from sight. However, seconds later, the arrows came hurtling back down to earth, covered in blazing flames. As they crashed into the ground and the monsters, the ground trembled as if something heavy had impacted it.

Dolce uses D-Ability Meteor Shower on all enemies! 12 Piercing Dmg!

Erix moves to F5!

Erix took a few steps back to cast a spell on the one creature that was out of range of Teresa's attack.

Teresa attacks Covur! 3 hits! 10 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Sure Hit]

Feeling completely overwhelmed by the poison that was culminating within her, Teresa struggled to get out an attack. It didn't hold the ferocity that it normally possessed, but it should have done the job. "Sleep now," she muttered as the monster before her crumpled as the others had. They wouldn't be troubling the medics anymore.

Teresa waits.

Dolce moves to A2.

Dolce uses Trigger Command: Unlock on Treasure Chest!

"Hee hee hee. A job well done with some treasure as our reward. Doesn't get any better than that, eh?" she called out to her subordinates before jamming a key into the chest and opening it, her hand fishing around in its depths to retrieve what was hidden inside.

Erix waits.

Seeing that Teresa had clearly gotten the job done, Erix stood where he was. "Yes, a job well done indeed," he replied to Dolce.

"Mission complete, guys. Good work," Dolce said cheerfully with a grin. She tucked away the treasure and peered off into the distance where the shrine was located. "Always feels good when a job goes off without a hitch. So how about it? How was your first job? Pretty easy, am I right?" she said and laughed out loud, her voice shattering the peace of the plains.

Teresa brushed herself off and put away her weapon. "Those monsters were nothing," she stated and sighed. It was probably better that way. Though she was sure not all jobs were going to be like this. Last night, Dolce had been hunting for that giant wolf alone. Was she really strong enough to take it out herself?

Erix pushed the hair from his face and said, "Compared to last night? This was fairly easy." He laughed at the irony of it; last night the mandragoras had been more of a challenge. Maybe it was just the fact that he was weary from traveling...

"Good to hear, rookies!" Dolce exclaimed and started moving forward towards the shrine. "It gets hard sometimes, so just be prepared, eh? Follow." With that, the small group of hunters moved forth, their job complete. It took merely a matter of minutes before they were standing before the large sandstone shrine. It almost looked out of place, surrounded by the beautiful grass and wildflowers. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that translucent, light blue crystals were embedded into the construct here and there.

"It's even more beautiful up close," Teresa said and broke rank to walk briskly up to one of the large statues that rested next to the dark and surprisingly unwelcoming entrance. She placed a hand upon the statue, feeling the warmth of the stone upon the palm of her hand. It was a nice feeling. The clouds seemed to refuse to block out the sun, so they were free to take in all of its rays.

Erix followed Teresa as she walked to a statue. He stood with his hands in his pockets, staring up at the statue and the shrine. He remained speechless as he admired it all. After a few moments, he tilted his head back toward Dolce and asked, "So, you got a history lesson for us on this place?"

Dolce laughed loudly, once again seemingly stifling the tranquility of the plains. "So the boy wants history, eh? You got it. This is Shirya Shrine which was built a long, long time ago to worship an ancient wind spirit that was said to guide travelers safely across the plains. Because of this, denizens of the country of wind to the south, Nevate, usually go on pilgrimages to visit this very shrine. Those little trips stopped about the time Mister Corinthius Hayes decided to get a swelled head and decided to take over the place. He moved the bodies of his dead ancestors to the catacombs of the shrine and commanded people to pay respects and leave offerings for them. Sick bastard." She paused and spat into the grass.

"It was a good thing he was stopped, right? I mean, he WAS stopped...right?" Teresa asked, completely unsure. If there was a tyrant ruler, it would be pretty obvious, but it seemed like everything in this country was rather lax.

"You got it. His entire empire was crumpled by two people: Dante and Teresa Thorne. Heh, you've got the same name as one of the heroes," Dolce said and laughed. "That's pretty cool. But anyway. Yeah. It was rumored that those two possessed power beyond anyone's wildest dreams. They laid waste to legion upon legion of the emperor's soldiers. It was insane."

Erix listened closely as Dolce spoke. "That would have been quite the sight to see. I've only heard bits and pieces of that story, but they all seem to line up in saying that two people, husband and wife, took down Hayes by themselves." He gazed at the shrine absently, playing with a flame in his hand, slicing his finger through the air, causing the small fire to follow along, tracing his finger's path. "Some people say that they both died, but I don't know what's true. I like to think that they live on."

Dolce nodded. "Same here. They didn't find any bodies...well, they found Teresa still alive, but her body just disappeared on its way back to her hometown. The whole thing is just--" Dolce's voice trailed off as she tilted her head for a second. "Something's not right." She marched up the steps to the gaping entrance and crouched down low. A black mist was seeping out of the shrine.

"What is it, Dolce?" Teresa questioned, definitely curious. Her muscles tensed in the case that they were attacked, but Dolce didn't seem to be worried about that.

"We're going in. Come on," she ordered tersely and dashed off into the shrine with her subordinates in tow. Inside was a long, dim hallway with lit torches upon the wall to provide light. The trio traveled farther down before reaching a space where two statues rested in two alcoves on each side of the hallway opposite each other. They were statues of guardian angels, it seemed, with stone wings and gowns.

Dolce stopped walking and held her hand out to stop the other two. "Prepare yourselves," was all she said as the statues came to life and stepped down from their pedestals. Sinister laughter filled the area as two wraiths appeared in the air, hovering about menacingly, their smirks ever taunting.
