 * Mia vs. Vrael here*

(Mettias) I trudged through the snow, annoyed that I had lost sight of Vrael and Ayra. I had undoubtedly wanted to be with them when the stranger that I had met in cordelica made his appearance in the Blood Forest. But, not even that was my main priority. I knew Vrael was being followed by someone… And so was I. The person was at least eighty feet or so behind me, slowly catching up to my snail-pace walk. It was easy to tell that his intentions were to kill me, but that would never happen. The fact that I noticed him and was able to identify what he was trying to do gave me an advantage. I loved it when I knew anything about my enemy before I was to confront them. That gives me time to form a better strategy.

After about ten minutes, the person was finally within my sword’s striking range. I whipped my sword out and spun around to him in a split-second. I backed up and quickly observed the person. It was a boy, wielding a scythe and emanated a strange aura of power. I thought of how he may try to battle while we just stood there, staring each other down. “Who are you?” I asked, breaking the awkward silence. The boy said nothing as he continued to watch me. He was trying to figure out how I may fight him, probably. I cleared my throat. “I ask again, who are you? I don’t wish to be forced to slay you because of the misunderstanding that we have currently.” I said. I waited a moment before readying my blade. Then, he spoke up. “My name is Josh. I’m looking for my friend Mia. Have you seen her?” He asked. I shook my head.

I realized that he had readied his scythe to slash, but it was too late. He swung, and cut me across the chest. I cursed and charged at him. As he braced to defend, I stopped mid-charge and grabbed his scythe. He and I tugged against the weapon until I let go of it, causing him to fall backwards. I chuckled and swung downwards. His scythe blocked the blade, but I slid my sword across the edge and lopped off the tips of his fingers on his right hand. He kicked me back and scrambled to his feet. He winced as he tried to clutch the scythe to block my next attack as blood trickled from his hand. He then called out something that I didn’t understand, and fired a ball of fire at me. I reacted too slow, and was knocked back at least forty feet into the snow banks formed by the recent blizzard. I groaned as my burns were healed with my magic. Josh sprung at the opportunity and lunged at me, getting his scythe mere inches from my throat. “Goodbye.” He said as he rammed the blade down onto my throat. But… he stopped as I drove my blade through his chest. The simple mistake of not holding down your enemy has cost countless lives of warriors throughout time, and this was one of those cases. Josh gasped and groaned as I turned the blade and pulled it out.

He fell onto me, and I pushed his lifeless body off of me. I knew he’d be back after I revived him, but I decided to wait on that and see if there were any of his allies wandering about. I healed his wounds, but left his body where I pushed him to. His face had an expression of shock and his eyes had a look of pain in them. It reminded me of the summoner master that I had killed way back before I had been cursed with the powers if a god and frozen in a block of ice for fifty years. That was a long time ago, but the memories were still vivid. I was puzzled by how that exact memory came to mind, but dwelled on the thought no longer as I heard the sound of snow crunching underfoot. I turned to see a girl walking towards me. She looked at the body in shock, and then looked to me. I chuckled as I thought of how a girl that young could do anything…. Until she came into my range of senses, and I could tell she was extremely powerful. I sighed in annoyance as I realized I’d have to defeat her too. What a day.
