--

Ayumi tiptoes her way over the the red flowers as she scavenges for the Antheia . It could only be found during the night, and it was crucial to deliver it to one of the shops that requested it before daybreak. She sucked her teeth as she looked over the horizon - the field was fairly large and she was almost certain that she couldn't get this done.

" If only someone else was here to help..." she thought to herself. Shaking her head at her naivety, she continued to maneuver her way through the flowers.

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Appearing on top of a hill, Suto looked around at the field. Seeing that there were mostly flowers everywhere, he guessed this area had a special objective. The hill he was on was a closed off one, and the secondary warp thing in front of him was a one way trip. There were othere Chaos gates, loosely guarded by groups of monsters.

Passing through the warp in front of him and appearing in a field of flowers he started to look for the flower mentioned in the objective, oblivious to anyone else in the area. "What have I gotten myself into.."

[Ayumi Ai]

Huffing, she sits down in the area clear of any night time monsters and flowers - stretching her back. After a few moments, she sits up, only to see someone else in the meadow as well. She blinks, before realizing that it may be someone she knows.

"H-hey!" she calls out, tumbling up to her feet.

I will be so dead if this is a PK...

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Looking up from the ground as he walks, he sees Ayumi. He walks over, "Oh, hey Ayumi." He looks around, still keeping his eyes open.

[Ayumi Ai]

She places a hand over her chest after letting out a huge sigh. "Thank goodness," she murmurs. Carefully, she moves over to Suto before poking his forehead.

"You're looking for the Antheia too?" she asks.

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Suto leans back and dodges the attempted poke, looking slightly annoyed at the touchyness, "Yeah. Only by chance.. I just randomly picked this area."

He still looks around for it.

[Ayumi Ai]

Ayumi shuffled through her pouch before pulling out a folded piece of paper. "I found out a lot about the Antheia, by chance," she exclaims before handing him the paper.

"It's supposed to, of course, be in this field but it has it's own natural glow. It's said to have a very sweet scent, which would help identify it easier. Problem is, the scent attracts some monsters, which is why I was skeptical at first. That means, the closer we get to the flower, the more monsters we will encounter..."

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Blinking, Suto replies, "Well, just gotta find monsters then.. since I'm so damn experieneced at this point (About lvl 8 here!) They shouldn't be a problem."

He spots a group of monsters and rushes straight at them, entering the battle before anyone coudl react, the barrier around the area being fought in.

[Ayumi Ai]

Ayumi, swiftly and carefully, slices through some of the monsters on the side and gently thwacks Suto on the head with the hilt of her Envy.

"BAKA! We have to be careful! True, the monsters and scent will help us but we won't get rewarded if the Antheia doesn't return in perfect condition! Why else do you think I was tiptoeing?" she exclaims.

"If you continue with that reckless act, we may never get it before daybreak!"

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Sighing, Suto ripped his sword clean through the last cowering monster, "Fine fine.. I'll tiptoe too." He grins and heads off in another direction, keeping his eyes out for the flower.

[Ayumi Ai]

She lets out a very heavy sigh, "Men..."

Sheathing her Envy, she sniffs the air. "Suto! Get your butt back here! We're on a trail!" she yells.

The air's scent was getting sweet - most likely due to the scent of the Antheia wafting on the wind currents.

[Lebis]

Lebis pivots on the balls of her heels, listening to the bustling commotion. Sifting through the pirckling weeds, she ascends her head, peering at the blue and violet cylindrical shape of the battle right before it ended. Stoicly murmuring under her breath, she merely condones the situation and minor gatherings of monsters. Though restive at the fact there were others, it still remained nominal. She'd just have to get to the flower first, presenting it to whom ever needed the crucial remedy the flower would produce. Though her inane courage may have been a harbinger, since enemies were questioning her appearance from a distance, interpreting either friend or foe.

[Hiroshin Sutoraifu]

Stopping in his tracks, he smelled the air too. Knowing that probably is the scent of the sought after flower, he tests to see where the wind is coming from, and point north, "That way!"
He runs in that direction, though trying to tiptoe as well... quite comical

[Ayumi Ai]

Ayumi tries her best to run faster without destroying many flowers, but almost failed in doing so. Rolling her eyes at the irony, she settles for long jumps - landing gracefully in spots that barely damage any flower.

She squints as she and Suto continue to move forward - seeing a hoard of monsters. "We got frontliners! I don't think we could take too many at once," she tells him; almost doubtfully.

[Lebis]

Lebis glowers irately at the monumental amount of predators treking towards her ever so slightly. She frowns; perturbed at their insignificance. "Had no intention of fighting.. Not that the battle would be dubious.." she mumbled to herself. "Flimsy creatures.. Fight might as well be purely negligible, I'll just rout you right here." Her callous personnel was discernible as she ruthlessly yet strategically conquered the meddlesome foes, as if vilifying their significance and use.

Though cornered, Lebis adroitly carved out the main supporters of the enemies, ignoring the other adversaries as her skills rained from Malice's twisted intent.
