~~~(Ti: 8:50 PM)~~~
I can see the City up ahead, and this is where my third and final tier-up quest is taking . I've made a lot of progress on my own, and I know that I'm probably going to be the first one done with everything.Â
"I don't know why, but I feel way more prideful about that than I should... Pride is the downfall of many people..."
That's sothing my brother would say, and I listened to him all the ti when he spoke.
Even though I am young, that doesn't an I'm an unwise person. Striving the be like my older brother has helped get this far.
But I need to make sure I beco my own person at the sa ti. Not just a copy of him. Which is why I didn't ask for help after Cera told how to find the Phoenix Feather.
That experience has helped in more ways than I thought it would. It's taught to think outside the box and got off the standard and beaten path when trying to solve problems.
"I haven't heard from many of my family mbers... Mom is the only one that checks in every day... I wonder how they're doing out there..."
My train of thought is interrupted when the road I'm walking on gets blocked off by Players. Night has fallen, and this is the ti when people looking to PK co out.
"Aww! Look at this little guy, fellas! He's traveling all by himself and so young too! You're Mommy must be very proud of you for acting like such a grown-up!"
The leader of one of the groups starts to talk as he approaches, and his group of friends follows him. He stops in front of and leans forward, and emphasizes the height difference.
"Listen, pipsqueak. We'll let you go if you hand over your most valuable items with no problems. We get what we want, and you get what you want."
Gee, that sounds like a fantastic deal!!
What kind of idiots pull crap like this?
Instead of saying anything, I take a breath, and fire starts to ignite around my body. The PKers take a step back from the sheer heat. They were taking passive damage since they were too close.
"How about no... Phoenix Fire Hellstorm."
The simple words co from my mouth, and I unleash the spell with control. A large pillar made of fire surrounds and expands in all directions as it spins.Â
It's definitely visible from the City of Morvis. It's like the gates of hell have been open. The n close to and the roadblock of Players have already been reduced to ash.Â
I let out a long breath, and Phoenix Fire Hellstorm stops. The surrounding area is severally charred, and the forest trees away from the road are on fire. Set ablaze from the spell I just used.
"Seeing them in the City will be interesting. Most will be running back since all these drops are pretty good. They'll want to secure the gear that they dropped on death."
There is a great temptation to wait here and just kill these guys over and over. But I want to get into the City before it gets any later.
I waste no ti and keep moving. Leaving the charred area that's behind .
The gates leading into Morvis are approaching, and I can already see so of the guys I killed running out the gates with purpose. They all flinch and stop in their tracks as they see .
"What? You guys started it. Maybe being PKers isn't the way to do things... Scum..."
That final word was said quieter than the others, but they still heard it. So grimace at being called scum. But I walk past them anyway and into the city.
"Hey, kid! Hold on!"
A voice coming from behind stops , and I turn to see a man in a guard's armor. This isn't sothing that normally happens to , but I don't use my spells close to cities either.
"We're you the one that caused that massive pillar of fire?"
There are many things I've learned from watching Cera, and one is to never admit to anything and protect your secrets. And my identity is a secret. I don't want anyone to know who I am.
"That wasn't , but I felt the heat of it behind . I think the one who caused it is traveling behind just a bit. But I can't say for sure."
He raises a single eyebrow and folds his arm. Taking on a thinking expression. He wouldn't suspect a kid like of having that kind of power. The benefit of being my age.
There is less suspicion when it cos to you. Sothing that I'm using to my full advantage.
"Alright, kid. But if you know anything regarding what happened, talk to the Guard Captain. We don't want soone with that kind of power walking around Morvis without an escort."
He turns and leaves, leaving to my business.Â
"Now, where can I find the woman known as Millisa... My marker is showing soone in the city center, but it's not marking a specific person..."
The City center is my next destination, and I walk past a surprising number of Players. There are many older girls to take the ti to tell I'm cute and ask if I need any help.
Suckers for a cute kid, but I can't bla them.Â
My decision to ignore any attempts to talk to caused mixed reactions.
So get mad, and others find it endearing. There were a few that even blushed, liking it. Those are the perverted girls. Liking that type of behavior from a little kid... What kind of things are they into...
"This is the place..."
The City center is massive, and there are several things going on. There are people calling out looking for parties to take on local Dungeons, and stands and shops are open for business.
It's out of the ordinary since most places around Gaia close at 8 PM, and it's a little past 9 PM now.
The Marker is pointing to an older woman sitting on the fountain and feeding so ducks. Turns out it was taking to a person.Â
I'm glad Markers work after you start your tier-up quests. But to actually go to the person to start them, you don't get a marker. A chanic many complain about.
As I walk up to her, she doesn't pay any attention. I look at the ducks she's feeding, and they look just like regular ducks.
"Excuse , Ma'am. But are you Millisa by chance?"
She freezes and slowly turns her head to . Slowly smiling, seeing , and places the food in her hand on the fountain edge and sits down.
"My... I don't know how many years it's been since I heard that na... The last person to call that was my late husband..."
From the sounds of it, she's going by a different na these days.Â
I take the initiative and sit down next to her. The ducks behind us make so noise but are otherwise unbothered.Â
"Since you know my na, that must an you're the Legendary Class wielder of the Fire Mage Class The Phoenix... I bet you're wondering why I know that..."
She's not wrong. I'd love to know her connection to my Class and her history. I'm curious now, and I can't help but wonder.
"Yeah, I would like to know... You've been waiting for , haven't you?"
The smile appears at my observation, and it turns out I've impressed her with my deduction.
